    Any chance of breaking down the classified forums by chassis?

    Used to be just roadsters...then us model S guys came and ruined it for the roadster guys who had to sift through 80 model S ads to find one roadster ad. Search feature seems to always fail when I search a keyword so that's out. Now the model 3 (and Y) are taking over as the dominant...

    Center Console lids are ugly and rubbery - any suggestions OTHER than carbon fibre?

    I have a 2017 P100D and the matte wood trim. My center console has the rubbery stock stuff. Anyone done anything? The stock material isnt the best looking and gets dirty/smudgey real easy. Pain to clean too. The only replacements I've seen are either OEM carbon fibre lids or awful carbon...

    Canada Classifieds - subforum potential? or maybe its own stickied thread at least?

    buying from US based sellers in the classifieds can be tough in canada for a few reasons 1. currency issues 2. border/duties 3. onerous shipping charges Further, trying to isolate CDN for sale threads is pretty hard...you cant effectively search for what you are looking for and qualify it by...

    P90D Face-Refreshed cars (VIN 139,000+) - all V3 batteries?

    Just wondering if all facelifted/refreshed non-nosecone P90D or P90DL cars came with teh V3 battery? The refresh kicked in around VIN # 139,000 and up, production was in April 2016 and later. Just wondering if ALL of those cars got V3 batteries, or if some still had V2 etc. I've included a...

    They're digging up the lot. As if Kingston isn't busy enough. Only 4 of 6 are usable. Edit now only 3 of 6 are usable.

    Canada Section - are there guidelines for Canada specific content?

    When I look at the first 20 threads on the first Canada page, 6 of them are model 3 related and have nothing to do with Canada. The next page of 20 threads has 7 non-Canada threads like general questions about whether tinting windows or the roof (not tint locations....just questions about tint...

    Federal Budget - $55,000 potential deduction for Electric/PHEV cars

    The budget contained an item allowing for people who use their cars for business use and are eligible to write them off to be able to to basically write down the capital cost in year one if you purchase an electric car or PHEV. Has anyone dug into this? Is it $55,000 on any car? Or cars...

    Arachnid wheels - waiting 9 months now. Is this a joke?

    I bought a set of arachnids from a (reputable) member here who had a reward for referrals. He didn't have the wheels, only the referral award and that was fine with me as it allowed me to have them delivered to my service centre. That was April 9th 2018. That's 9 months ago for anyone...

    What Tesla model do you currently own?

    Canadian (resident) voters only please. Just curious. The threes will rule the roost eventually. Is it sooner than we think? Answer which car you currently own (either in your possession or you have firmed up your order...no reservation holders please) I didn't include roadsters as they're...

    I'm a bit conflicted...

    Dare I say it...but I don't get supercharged about new superchargers anymore. Where it used to be super exciting to learn of a new location, now any new ones within 200 kms of toronto are just extra and not really filling a void anymore. Like bringing holy water to the Vatican. A year ago it...

    How long are Arachnids taking from order/survey to delivery?

    Survey completed April 10 Today is now 45 days/6.5 weeks/1.5 months later and I've not heard from Tesla yet. That normal? Just wondeirng how long it is taking currently. Thanks

    If you have been invited to configure your model 3, have you?

    An analyst asked this question on the earnings call recently and famously, Elon blew him off. Was curious about this myself as I've been invited, but I've deferred it for now waiting to see AWD and Performance options before I decide. So I was wondering if you've put your $1000 down, and...

    When you configured your Model 3, did you get Autopilot?

    just wondering what the data shows. Not sure if someone has a super-duper spreadsheet...would love to see it if so. But as a Model S owner, I love Autopilot and was surprised to hear so many model 3 owners say they weren't going to bother with it (either at all, or for now). So the questions...

    (Canada) What's a 'fair share'

    With all the consternation from waiting model 3 owners about their $14,000 rebate on their $70,000 Teslas when the big bad wolf (blue party) take it away, it got me thinking about the election. I saw an ad on telly for the NDP saying they were going to give a bunch more free stuff to people if...

    only 4 CPO teslas for sale for all of Canada?

    usually there are a few dozen up there...currently down to only 4 cars. 2 P85D, 1 85D and 1 model X 90D. Anyone know why that is? This has been dwindling for a month or so and has not been replenished. Friend asked me to help him find one and they've suddenly dried up.

    Where do you charge your Tesla Model S?

    Just wondering what people do to charge in general, and wondering if they are anticipating that changing over time with the production of the model 3 and just more and more S/X perhaps rendering the superchargers a bit busy. Anyway, just thought it was an interesting question. I charge at...

    Ever measure how much energy your car's HVAC (Heat specifically) uses up? I did this week

    I had a 200 km trip to go on, and foolishly forgot to charge the car the night before. So I was sitting at 10km of range at 9am, and had to leave at 1pm. I was able to charge at home and added enough to get to150 kms before departure. The nearest supercharger was 92kms away, so I knew it...

    Anyone run 21" Turbine wheels as their winter set on a model S?

    Thinking of doing this as I like the look of my summer turbines a lot more than I like the look of the 19" double 5 spoke wheels. Of course the downside is 21" winters will leave a modest sidewall and probably not very narrow either (would have to source a square set of turbines rather than...

    Ontario Superchargers - the numbers

    In the discussions of how many superchargers there are in Ontario, and how many are opening soon (hopefully) in 2018, I took a closer look at the numbers. This is as of Jan 1st, 2018. Let me know if I've missed anything or made an error of any sort. When all of this is completed, we will have...

    POLL: What is your long term average wh/mile (minimum 10,000 miles)?

    Answer with the number as close to yours (round up or down). Minimum 10,000 miles travelled Pictures are nice. Makes it interesting. If you're a metric person, just multiple your Wh/km by 1.61 to get the miles data. My own data was about 15,000 miles at 323 Wh/mi (so I voted 320). This was...

    POLL for P90D (range upgrade) owners: What's your shown range at 100% charge?

    I just bought a P90D (which was a P85D with teh range upgrade option to 90 for P90D) and when I charged it for the first time, it went to 405 kms which is a bit shy of 251 miles. I know the advertised standard range for P85D was 410 kms/254 miles...and the P90D range upgrade was 429 kms/266...

    Charging question: 40A vs 32A

    I had a 2015 model S 70D that had a VIN starting with 90XXX At home I have a nema 14-50 receptacle in the garage and when charging would see speeds of 48 km hr. I traded the car in for another Model S (70D was an expiring lease...bought the 'new' one) with a vin of 99XXX. When I got home...

    How accurate (relative to other batteries) is the stated range when full?

    I have a first Gen 70D. When full my battery says I can go 381 kms (237 miles) My 70D has 68.8 actual usable battery. This means the calculation to come up with 381 is a slightly optimistic 180 wh/km (288 wh/mile) Based on what we know about some of thr other Tesla battery actual usable...

    Public charging station... You're doing it wrong.

    Went to a Tim Hortons and they had a public charging station. Was susprised that i couldn't get my tesla J1772 adapter to fit on the nozzle of the charging station plug/hose in order to plug my car in. There was a second piece below the J1772 piece that blocked the tesla adapter and made it...

    Safety Inspection - where'd you take your Model S?

    Recently bought a Model S and have to get it safety inspected for registration as it was purchased in another province and brought in to Ontario. Tesla said they just don't do safety inspections and Canadian Tire said they were basically not familiar with the car enough to do one lol. All they...
