As Tesla production volume keeps increasing, there is a point where advertising becomes unavoidable. I think that time has arrived. I was staffing the Tesla booth at the Quebec Auto Show about a month ago. Club Tesla Quebec sets it up with over 40 club members present on site and Tesla gives us...

Irving would be my guess, like the Aulac supercharger. The Irving at Aulds Cove has a medium voltage line deadend on site and an apparently unused parking area in the back. Seems like an obvious pick.

Because that plaid sticker has been accidentally leaked in a Tesla parts manual some time ago.

Powered wheels are indeed beneficial in electric aircraft for taxi operations, because the propellers have very poor efficiency at those low power levels, and wheels can regen from multiple stop and go's. The energy savings obtained from powered wheels yield a corresponding battery weight saving...

I was wondering the same recently. He is ok, still active on other forums, like here: JRP3

That Quebec rebate has been available for years. It is however the first time that the Y LR qualifies. it is going to sell like hotcakes, AWD is very valuable here.

300 Wh/kg do exist today but they are very expensive (ten to twenty times more than automotive grade), which may be acceptable for this type of application. I have closely studied their two technical publications and it's pretty good stuff actually. For a change, no laws of physics have been...

Last June, thanks to well positioned Circuit Electrique charging stations all the way, I have driven my Y SR to Natashquan from Quebec City in 14 hours versus 12 hours in a gas car. Not as fast as with superchargers but good enough. And yes, this is a beautiful road. I did the return trip at a...

Cybertruck was in downtown Quebec City this morning, back in Montreal tonight. This photo was taken just a couple of miles from where I live, disappointed I missed it. Photo credit Jeeff Nigeb on Cybertruck Québec Facebook group.

I am pretty sure he doesn't anymore but we collectively suspected he did read TMC back in 2018, for example when Fact Checking came up with the Short-sellers Enrichment Commission. The term wasn't picked up anywhere else until Elon tweeted that a few days later on October 4th. TSLA Market...

Also 69,900$ in 2019 is worth 84,000$ today.

It is not. I have just read a LinkedIn post from someone at Tesla saying that it was developed internally.

Kinda could see this coming. And I agree Cybertruck is screaming for it.

I thought they could not be that stupid, looked up the original press release in French, and indeed something got lost in translation. What they are saying is that when the car gets damaged, the repairs will likely involve the replacement of larger parts, which is wasteful and more expensive...

https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-wrap-service-china/ Because but only because things are done differently in China, this post may remain. NOT discussion about it, however.

Last week-end Tesla had a booth at the local electric car show here in Quebec with S, 3, X and Y showroom models through a partnership that has been going on for some time with Club Tesla Quebec, the official booth tenant. I was part of the staff along with fabulous Tesla sales and techs...

It is because of the camera location, likely mounted to the display. Bjorn Nyland's test drive shows no reflections:

It is fan art, signed as Ramen Master Design.

Was there a couple of years ago with my Y SR and loved it. Tesla donated destination chargers to Parc Canada some time ago, and you can charge for free at several locations along the Cabot Trail. Most are nicely located near beaches or trailheads. Parks Canada's managed charging stations...

It won't need to start from scratch. Neural Networks are made from multiple layers. The first few layers are those involving visual perception, while the next layers are about understanding the meaning of what is seen, the next layers are about what to do with it, etc. and it ends up with the...

Terrible advice. What do you do when you head back on a delayed flight at 1 AM when you have zero ground transportation options. Don't ask me how I know. Park you car at the airport and don't worry about it. Done that many times and this car theft deal @Randy-12 does not apply to Tesla.

Walter Isaacson on the origins of Cybertruck:

Autopilot too but even basic cruise control. Last winter with slush on the road I was on cruise control passing a truck in a curve (one lane each and next to an opposing lane with heavy traffic) when the wipers decided it would be funny to spread that dirt over my windshield, thereby totally...

Tesla Model 3/Y Québec group on Facebook (15000 members) has been campaigning on Gatineau for this round. It likely had an effect in moving Gatineau to #1 in Canada a couple of days ago, it was trailing Calgary for awhile.

Exactly. Charge to 90% if it's needed for daily use (or 100% for LFP). Battery will degrade a bit more but it's not a big deal.

Right your battery is normally badly calibrated with this kind of usage. However an uncalibrated battery is generally overestimating degradation so the actual number is probably even better. Your charging habits are pretty close to the best possible scenario, but that is only possible when you...

This news lines up with the speculations that the tarif situation might be addressed by Tesla through a Gigafactory in South Korea supplying an assembly line in India through their Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement. The speculation was prompted by Elon meeting Yoon in DC and following...

Hertz has Tesla widely available in the US and Canada at fraction of the price.

These two locations, Montmagny or La Pocatière, are now covered by the upcoming supercharger nearby at Saint-Roch-des-Aulnaies now confirmed and visible on Tesla Find Us. Possible Location - Saint-Roch-des-Aulnaies, QC

That's why I just mentioned a few posts upthread that Elon started following Modi two weeks ago. They most likely will find a way to work this out.

Speculating a bit about Elon following Modi and meeting Yoon in the span of two weeks. A Gigafactory in South Korea may also be shipping third generation platform knockdown kits to India as a solution to the "make in India" requirement for market access, since setting up a Gigafactory in India...

I have been using Circuit Électrique over the last couple of years and dozens of charges and have yet to experience any failure to charge on the first try, just like the Tesla supercharger network.

This concept appears to suffer from very poor efficiency because most of the energy of the towing aircraft is spent in climbing to the cruise altitude rather than actually towing and then when it descends its potential energy is wasted, since the range of the towing aircraft is non contributing...

Not before 2025 at the earliest: Harbour Air’s ePlane takes off on spring tour, despite program delays This whole plan is just not realistic IMHO. An electric retrofit of an existing aircraft always involve a choice between battery and payload, you can't have both without going clean sheet with...

It appears to be a battery subsidy like the IRA, Volkswagen does not have to pay that back. "Per battery investment with PowerCo SE ranges between $8 billion and $13.2 billion, depending on production levels. This is a part of an overall electric vehicle battery investment partnership by Canada...

What's really interesting is that the Model Y SR being offered in Canada is the RWD/LFP currently sold in China and Europe rather than the AWD/4680 produced in Austin. If I am not mistaken, the RWD/LFP variant is currently only being produced in China.

I am reading many comments in online groups in Canada from people who ordered a plain vanilla Model Y LR and are disappointed to receive a September delivery, even though Tesla website still says April-June.

Unlike US and Canada, prices on tesla.com for other countries around the world generally include local tax. In Europe that can be pretty steep. For Australia the $64900 includes the 10% GST.

In Quebec you can get your custom plate reprinted to a green one online for 10$. Register on SAAQclic and you will find the option to do it. This is a new feature as of a couple of weeks ago. Prior you had to do it in person and it was more expensive.

The 7 MWh for a narrow body airline was pulled from this report which is referencing another report that I am familiar with, and which was actually talking about hybrid-electric aircraft rather than full-electric. Moreover, said report is also lamenting on the fact that this hybrid-electric...

The various electric propulsion systems I have looked into so far were all quadruple redundant. Four groups of batteries, primary busbars, cabling, etc. There is basically no weight penalty and it makes a few things easier to manage like cabling radius, HIRF, etc. The FMEA stuff being...

When you park your car for a week, make sure to turn off sentinel mode and check your car status remotely no more than once of twice per week. Here in frigid Quebec when I leave my car at the airport at -20C, the battery does not lose more than 5% per week. If Sentinel mode remains turned on...

Club Tesla Quebec, of which I am a member, has a booth at this week's Quebec International Auto Show (approx 70000 visitors), with three brand new cars on the floor (EXY, no floor space for the S) kindly loaned to us by the local Tesla service center. Not an official presence as Tesla does not...

The Boeing 787 and Airbus A220 have electric brakes. I mention that because electric brakes definitely can be designed to very high safety standards. Brembo, a Tesla supplier, has been working on electric brakes for awhile, saying that they are well suited to be integrated with regenerative...

Extracted from the Investor Day presentation deck pdf. It has been released before but this one is the original high quality.

Yes, I found the place after a couple of minutes looking around Santa Catarina in satellite view. It is indeed a (reasonably) sloped terrain. 25°42'15.2"N 100°34'14.4"W

The LinkedIn contacts I was referring to were all in the US, this was not a Quebec pulse. Quebec is a non-starter for a Gigafactory location for several reasons. Ontario making a lot more sense, being one. The killing factor is that it is nearly impossible to hire anyone here. There is full...

Circuit Electrique in Quebec is pretty much as reliable as the Tesla supercharger network, and far more widespread in geographic coverage. After two years and dozens of fast charging sessions at CE, I have yet to experience any failure to charge on the first try - including the past few months...
