So, my 3 month trial for FSD just expired. I believe the app says it’s an additional $8,200 to buy it (I have EAP). I want to hear reasons for why I should or should not buy it. I’m not looking for people to flame one another for differing opinions, just want to hear thoughts on things I may...

Hey folks. Woke up this morning after partially charging the Porsche and my Gen 1 well connector has a solid red light. I was leaving for work but I didn't have a chance to reset the breaker. Assuming I do and the "red light of death" is still present, is that a pretty good indication that...

After 7 years of Tesla ownership I finally had a friend use my referral code to buy a new Y. I wasn’t sure how these redemptions worked (for subscription type items so maybe some of you know). I just picked up my new Model S about 7 weeks ago so I have 1 year free of premium connectivity. I...

I’ve had the new S about 3 weeks and I decided to put a PPF on it. When it was installed (the shop owner who also owns a Model Y) said that they had to remove the front plate to install the PPF and that he’s had occasions where the plate subsequently fell off (for a variety of reasons). My...

Hey all. I’m on my second Model S and I should probably already know the answer to this but sadly I do not. My home wall connector can charge 48a if I want or need it to which is about 62km/hr (I believe). I don’t even charge at home all that much because we have a free ChargePoint charger at...

I just got my new 2023 Model S and I was contemplating using my old Tesla branded Weathertech liners from my 2016 S90D (refresh). They are still in great shape but what got me thinking about changing was I got my wife Tuxmats for her Taycan. I think her liners seem like they are a better...

We got our Taycan about 7 weeks ago and I just picked up my brand new Model S and I wanted to give some of my initial impressions and comparisons between the two cars. Things I like about each car and things I don't particularly love. Let's start with my Model S: I had a 2016 S90D which I...

Just ordered my second Model S. You’ll see what I currently drive is my sig line and opted for the following… Non-Plaid Model S. Blue Exterior, White interior. 21” wheels, EAP, and the Yoke. No FSD. Was really teetering between a Taycan, Lucid and Model S and even though this last year has...

I have a 2016 S90D that will be six years old come June (meaning that’s when I got it) and it is funny because I was just reading an article where Elon was talking about making cars that don’t break. That would be nice. My car has about 150k km. My car is in for its 9th service in 16 months...

Hey all. I have decided that I am going to replace my current S90D with the new non-plaid S. I’ve written this before about how I’ve never loved a car like this one (at the same time having more reliability problems than any other car I have ever owned). Even though I am increasingly...

I will start with a bit of background. The building where I work (and run my business) has increasingly tried to improve their LEED rating (as an environmentally friendly) building. When I saw they were doing this, I took the opportunity to really petition them to install an EV charger. So...

I was thinking about this the other day. I have a 2016 S90D and I know there have been much longer Tesla owners than me and I'm curious to gauge Model S and X owners experiences and thoughts on the cars and the entire Tesla experience. Do you still like/love/hate your car? Would you buy...

I have a 2016 90D (refresh). I have all updates, including updating both key fobs and new batteries in each. Lately (maybe the last 3 weeks) my car won’t turn off. After I leave the car, the music remains on, the lights stay on and the car won’t lock. If I use the fob to lock the car the...

I am just curious for those in the know....Does Tesla (or any EV manufacturer) have any plans to make their cars range truly comparable to ICE cars (especially in severe cold)? Let me explain what I mean.. I have a 90D. When new, the 100% range was 473km, however my car was CPO, so when I got...

Tesla has decided to voluntarily recall certain Model S and Model X vehicles built before March 2018 that are equipped with an 8GB embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) in the media control unit because the eMMC may malfunction due to accumulated wear. Our records show that you own a Model S or Model X...

I was curious to know if any Canadian Tesla owners are using their cell phone data for their cars (Spotify, Nav, browser etc,,,,)? I have an older Model S, with unlimited connectivity (so I have never done this) but I assumed people were doing this and I would like to hear if you find it...

Hey folks. I've got an ongoing issue with my passenger side window not fully closing. You know how when you close your door the window closes the last 1/2 inch or so... well that isn't happening in my car. This first occurred a few months ago and I set up an appointment with Tesla and I...

Hey folks...Is the MCU upgrade available in Canada? If so, has anyone with an AP1 car done it? Cost? Results? I am not even sure it can be done for AP1 cars but thought I would put it out there?

A few months back my frunk latch wouldn’t “pop” open and I thought it was because some cloth got jammed up into it. Just to be safe, I lubricated it and then yesterday I went to wash my car and and it wouldn’t pop again. After repeated efforts I finally got it to work after incessantly...

Like the title says folks, I have a CPO 2016 Model S Refresh about to come out of warranty. I am about to exceed my 80k km on my warranty within the next couple of months. CPO cars weren't eligible for an extended warranty when I purchased the car, so I am not sure what (if any) options I have...

I was reading the "rapid battery loss" thread and I am not sure, if that is what I experienced yesterday but was hoping for some insight and input. I have a 90D, refresh with about 90k KM (or about 55k miles). My 90% is about 405km. Yesterday, I had a longer than normal day of driving, which...

I have a lot of accessories that I have purchased for my car and I am really happy with most, if not all of them. I wanted to list what I have and maybe some of you can chime in as to what I might be missing that you have found useful or a worthwhile purchase. Here goes (things I have)... 1...

Something happened to me today which has never happened in the 2+ years I’ve owned my car. As I was driving to work I was using AP and the speed limit was 100km/hr. I was on a well marked, nicely paved and completely straight stretch of highway and the AP was set to 112km/hr. I drove like...

Hello Model 3 owners. Yesterday at a family gathering my sister expressed interest in a Model 3, so I pounced on the chance to get another ICE to EV convert, but she some concerns that I hope some of you can help with. 1. Is the Federal rebate only available on the base model? If yes, what...

Hello New Yorkers (and others). I am taking a roadtrip from Toronto (where I live) to NYC (where I lived for 14 years) in about two weeks. I am very famililar with the drive but not in a Tesla. This is a family trip to see our friends on the east coast but we have decided to break the trip...

I am a model S owner but wifey is looking at an X. She currently drives a Lexus RX350. She likes SUV’s because of the height and she absolutely LOVES the X. We started looking (we are just in the preliminary stages) but other than range, can anyone speak to some of the differences between...

So, I am weighing my next options with Tesla and a lot of you know the company's ins and outs better than I do, so I am looking for some advice of the direction I should take this... So, I purchased the 4 year maintenance plan in November 2017 and I paid $3,051.00 for the plan. I was told...

Driving my Tesla in Toronto one winter night took a little strategy and a lot of shivering in the dark | The Star I looked around and didn't see it posted anywhere else, so I've attached a link. I think you need an account to read the article. In sum, he left home without charging and only...

So, my horn is intermittently working and it seems to be connected to a specific temperature threshold. If I am parked at home in my garage it never gets below zero Celsius and my horn will work. I took a 10-15 minute drive in -9 temp and horn no longer works. This seems to be a trend and has...

Hey everyone. About six weeks ago, I started to encounter an issue with my cell phone (which I believe happened after an update - there is has since been one more update but it didn't correct the issue). Basically, when I get into the car, either my first call in or out, will connect but I...

First off, I don't want this to become a "rip Tesla" thread. I am genuinely looking for some thoughts and feedback on my best avenues to help with a service issue. So, here goes... In the middle of April (2018), I took my car for the annual maintenance plan. While I was there, I complained...

Hello New Englanders. I was hoping some of you might be able to help me with some hotel suggestions. I am coming to Boston (TD Garden - specifically), the weekend of August 17-19 and wanted some hotel ideal based on a few factors: 1. Charging convenience 2. Proximity to TD Garden 3...

It's been about a month (maybe longer) that google no longer works on the Tesla browser. I know that in December (2017) Tesla announced they would be rolling out a new browser or maybe updating the existing one, can't remember exactly. I also see that that roll out started in and around March...

Has anyone had these tints installed in the GTA? If so, can you please tell me where you got them done, if you were happy with the work and if you've noticed an appreciable difference in the tints blocking out heat? Did you do your windshield and what percentage are your tints? I am...

So, my car is in for the 40k annual service. I am getting a bunch of little things done (wipers, alignment, a few minor fixes and addressing my issue with AP being unavailable quite often). Service was great this morning. They were right on the ball at the Mississauga location. I also got...

I know there have been other threads on this but my issue seems to be a bit different. I have come to realize that any time I use a supercharger (and probaby even my HPWC) and I stop charging before I am full (meaning getting to my 90%), I get the above error. However, it ONLY happens when I...

To my fellow Canadians... Have any of you purchased the Tesla Solar Roof tiles and Powerwall? If so, can you talk a bit about cost and the amount of energy they produce? Have you become self sufficient in supplying your own energy? Do you have excess and if so, do you sell it back to the...

Hey all. I have some questions about the annual maintenance plan here in Canada (it may be identical in the USA but I figured I would just ask my fellow Canucks about it). I purchased my CPO car in June 2017. I purchased the 4 year maintenance plan about 6 months later, so the first annual...

Up here in the Great White North, our winter is coming to an end and it is time to start thinking about 3 season tires. I say it that way because I have a dedicated set of winter rims and tires (X Ice 3's), which have been amazing. I am looking for 19" tires for the other three seasons and...

I went on my 5th or 6th road trip this past weekend and it wasn't a very long one but it the two main points of travel were between Toronto and Detroit. I have family in the Detroit and surrounding area and I have made this trip probably more than 300 times over the course of my life. Anyone...

So, I have a bit of a hectic day today and my morning started out (pretty bad). Maybe you can offer some advice (other than the obvious). I woke up this morning and went over the bank (at 7am). Was a ghost town but needed some cash because I was enroute to pick something up which I had to pay...

So, I have decided on where to powder coat my 19" OEM Slipstreams and I am going with.. Quy's Coating I had a long chat with Quy and he convinced me he is the right guy for the job. My only concern is that he does not removed the tires from the rims, he told me to have my mechanic do it. So...

So, my son had a hockey tournament in Buffalo this weekend and we decided to take my Model S and I wanted to share some thoughts of my experience. Some positives and some negatives. First off, we left for Buffalo on Thursday afternoon and them temp peaked at 16c, which was unreal. I had...

Has anyone purchased these for the Model S and if so, can you provide some insight? https://www.amazon.ca/TeslaHome-Courtesy-Welcome-replacement-pieces%EF%BC%89/dp/B077TS2GDD/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1514732824&sr=8-2&keywords=tesla+accessories+model+s I wanted to buy a set but ONLY if there...

Has anyone done it and if so where? Were you happy with the results? Can you share some pics? I recently put on my Replika R-187’s as my winter setup. I have 19” Slipstreams for summer but I’d like to powder coat them to the same colour as my Replikas. I don’t want them to look...

My car is a CPO S90D. I’ve put about 10,000km on it in six months and my alignment is off right now. I have the annual service plan so I am a bit confused as to what I should do... 1. Should I bring it in for the annual service closer to the 1 year mark, which is 6 months away? Not a great...

For those living in the GTA, we got our first taste of winter weather last night. My car is garage parked and when I woke up this morning the garage temp was +12c even though it was -9c outside. I got in my car and the energy gauge did not have the dotted line so I drove 25km to Brampton...

Last night I was at a hotel and my car was parked outdoors. It got down to 4 degrees Celsius. When I got in the car in the morning I had a notification that my left front tire was low (driver side). So I changed from km to miles so I could see the PSI of the tires. Left front 41 Right front...

I wanted to get some ideas from anyone for some winter charging and avoiding winter garage slop. So, in hindsight I probably didn’t have my HPWC installed in the best place in my garage but what’s done is done. I charge overnight and when I am ready to go to work in the morning I unplug and...

There is another thread on this but the focus of the thread was "damage to the battery", where as my focus is more about "other problems". This has now happened to me twice in two days and 3 times in total. The last incident happened less than an hour ago. I was driving through a parking lot...
