    When do you think the 2170 battery comes to MX and MS?

    Still surprised they have not rolled out the new battery packs across the whole range of Tesla products. Seems only the Model S & X are still using the old battery packs. Where as the Model 3 & the power walls use the newer 2170 form factor cells. Also surprised the motors also have not been...

    What Would it Take to Upgrade Your Current Tesla?

    Great news for Model 3 owners - Tesla's Model 3 can now park itself with Summon feature. Lets hope this means that we will see a refresh on the Model S with better tech and features then the Model 3. I don't see enough of a difference in features to justify changing from my current MS to a...

    Model X looks amazing. I would have thought by now that Tesla would have offered this a an option for new orders.

    What Would it Take to Upgrade Your Current Tesla?

    New Interior, New Battery Technology ( the 2170 li-ion cell), New Sports suspension (To improve handling). New tech for Autopilot would be nice but not a deal breaker. Happy to drive the car myself ;)

    Tesla Full Self Driving Availability Prediction

    Rumor summary: Blind-spot cameras, Rain sensing, Level 3, Big battery, Interior/HUD

    According to Porsche, Taycan is a word taken from an eastern dialect and is pronounced ‘tie-can’. It translates as ‘lively young horse’ and is a reference to the horse that’s been rearing up on its hind legs on the Porsche badge since 1952.

    Rumor summary: Blind-spot cameras, Rain sensing, Level 3, Big battery, Interior/HUD

    Will be interested to see what Tesla comes up with given Porsche will soon launch their first all Eletric car the "Taycan" . Hoping the next versions of the Model S & X will have a firmer suspension for handling the corners. This could be why we have not seen the revision yet. Maybe Tesla was...

    Model S Outdoor car cover

    I have a cover. Like others I always wash my car before putting it on. I tend to use it when the car is sitting outside in the sun for extended periods of time. I do this as I want to protect the paint and finish on the wheels when ever possible. Happy with the purchase and would purchase one...

    Premature Tire Life

    Like in the 80's with the 5.0 Mustang and young driver. Tyres wear depends how the car is driven. Sorry to see the damage caused. It's a powerful car for any new driver Would be great if you could get Tesla could add parental controls so one could limit power for teenagers. Maybe insurance...

    Will next Model S refresh eliminate physical controls for most functions?

    Got my midnight silver Model S 100D wrapped with XPEL Stealth

    \ Thank you that was going to be my next question. Sorry to hear your car got keyed. Agree a paint job would have cost a lot more.

    Got my midnight silver Model S 100D wrapped with XPEL Stealth

    Thank you for the information. I was more concerned with the wheel wells and suspension in regions where they still use brine solutions (magnesium chloride) that are effective for safety, but take an immense toll on your car. Have been washing my wheel wells regularly.

    Got my midnight silver Model S 100D wrapped with XPEL Stealth

    Seems very expensive for plastic wrap. Would it not be cheaper just to touch up the paint if you get some rock chips? Don't get me wrong the car looks great with he wrap. The cost I can't get my head around. Maybe Tesla should offer this as an add as their is a good margin in it. Have you...

    CPO Prices

    Must be doing this for the Canadian market too. I only see two Model S cars for sale on the website. Surely Tesla has more then 2 used Model S cars in the inventory for sale. Makes it hard to know what the Tesla stock is without calling the dealership.

    Used Model S cars end up? Don't see them on Tesla Canada Website

    I see more and more older Gen 1 cars on the road. Not sure where people are buying them as I never see them listed on the Tesla Canada Website? Any ideas are they all being sold on third party websites?

    Can't upgrade to 72 amp charger

    Seems a little backwards reducing onboard charger. Or at least not offering it as an upgrade on all the S & X models. Lets hope they bring back the 72AMP or higher standard on board chargers for all future S & X cars

    Tesla attacks heating up

    I understand more than a dozen manufacturers from Audi to Volvo now offer so-called ADAS options (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) on their cars. (Warning, drivers: Your car can cruise on its own, but you're still responsible) Yet we only seem to hear about the accidents involving Tesla's...

    New 75D or Showroom (11/17) 100D

    Hands down I would go for the 100D. The dual chargers the extra battery capacity. The older MCU is not a deal breaker I believe the radar and cameras are the same in both cars. The fact it can charge faster at Destination chargers that (HPWC) support higher voltage. You will also find the car...

    'Real Concern' for EV Maker Is Quality of 2170 Battery Cells

    This must be why Tesla has not Switched over to the new 2170 Battery Cells for the Model S & X cars. Maybe this will be tied in with the interior update for the Model S & X. The new cells should help to increase the range of both S & X cars. Tesla’s Problem—Model 3 Batteries: Oppenheimer...

    Seems like Tesla is getting ready to release some thing big

    Was hoping they would be switching over to the new 2170 Battery cells. In order to stream line production and lower costs. Does not make sense to be manufacturing 2 different types. Especially when the new cells found in their Model 3 and Power Walls seem to be superior. I also understand the...

    S85 Battery Degradation

    Will be interesting to see how the new Tesla Battery Cell 2170 hold up.

Or even better, for those who qualify for warranty replacement the option to upgrade to a...

    Model 3 batteries in S and X

    Rattle noise coming from front Air Suspension (2017-18)

    Have there been any updates or changes with the suspension since 2016? I wish there was a way to track updates and changes to the car. Apart from the obvious ones. I must agree the suspension could do with an over haul or update. Surely Tesla has learned some things over the years and can offer...

    Model S range and interior update imminent?
