    Ontario Hydro charging network at 400 highway series rest stops

    Will add to my previous post: drove past the King City and Barrie (both 400N) onRoutes and both had what looked like completed installations, but the chargers were all covered up. Not sure what other work would be required to “switch them on”. Perhaps just connection to the grid?

    Ontario Hydro charging network at 400 highway series rest stops

    Stopped at the Innisfil (400S) location to check it out. 4 stations (1 not working & bagged up) with CCS & CHAdeMO plugs. One had a Tesla CHAdeMO adapter permanently attached to the plug. Maxed out at 45 kW, so you’re better to stop at one of the Barrie Superchargers, but (as someone else...

    Long shot… looking for a Teslatap mini adapter to try with a Jeep 4xe

    Similar idea to what I’ve tried already ( https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B091NCFZ6C/ ). I’m leery of the Lectron as there seem to be a fair number of reviews that it didn’t work reliably. The Teslatap seems to have consistent good reviews on the Jeep form I looked at, but it’s about $300 shipped...

    Long shot… looking for a Teslatap mini adapter to try with a Jeep 4xe

    My wife bought a Jeep 4xe a few months ago. We would like to use an adapter & charge it from our Tesla HPWC. I bought an adapter from Amazon, but it wouldn’t work. From what I’ve read online, people have had success with the Teslatap Mini adapter. Before I go throwing down the ~ $300 to get...

    Model X windshield film

    Wondering if anyone in or around the Toronto area has gotten window film applied to their front windshield, for heat reduction. I'm looking to get a clear ceramic film applied and I'm looking for a place that can apply it as one piece.

    Canadian Stores and Service Centers

    For the North-of-Toronto crowd, Tesla has apparently taken over the lease for the former Infiniti dealership at the 400 Auto Mall just south of Barrie and is opening a sales & service location there. No idea when.

    New (home) charging behaviour?

    I have a 2017 MX 100D. It’s been upgraded to AP3 and MCU 2. I charge at home with a Gen 1 Wall Connector provided 240V/32A. I’ve been noticing a change to the charging behaviour lately. I can hear the relay in the Wall Connector actuate pretty much throughout the house. Up until recently...

    Pay for a color or get it wrapped?

    I paid for the Midnight Silver Metallic and then decided to do a vinyl wrap. While I realize it doesn't offer the same level of protection as PPF, from the looks of things it does protect from the minor dings I've picked up in 3.5 yrs of driving. If I had it to do again, I'd go with the basic...

    MCU2 upgrade cost

    Got the upgrade done this week. Improvements are substantial, more than I’d expected. The UI is very much more responsive - there’s no long pause after selecting something, wondering if the touch has registered or not. Some improvements I did not anticipate: voice commands work. Before, if I...

    MCU2 upgrade cost

    Just saw on reddit that the cost for the MCU1 to MCU2 upgrade for pre-2018 S/X owners has dropped to $1,500 in the US. Still $3500 for us north of the border. Straight USD to CAD conversion would make it ~ $1950 CAD. US version: Infotainment Upgrade Canadian: Infotainment Upgrade

    All season tires for MX

    I looked at the Nokians but I'm a little concerned about an "all-weather" tire in a hot Ontario summer. Did they give you any idea of how they would wear?

    All season tires for MX

    My Continental all-seasons (MX 100D, 20” rims) have pretty much breathed their last. I’m looking for recommendations for replacements (all-season, but I have winter tires so these will be more like 3 season tires). I looked through the existing posts, but I didn’t find anything on the Canadian...

    Vanishing appointment on Tesla app

    I haven't had that experience - I've had appointments cancelled, but only when they determined that Mobile Service could look after the issue and they had rebooked it for Mobile Service. You can look up the service location on the Tesla "Find Us" page ( Find Us | Tesla ) and you should be able...

    HW3 Upgrade

    I just emailed them (Toronto Railside service centre) when I saw people on here saying that they had gotten the upgrade done & they got back to me very quickly to schedule an appointment.

    HW3 Upgrade

    Yup. MCU1. That is likely the difference. They installed 2020.12.11.5, which was the then large-scale rollout, though it looks like 16.2.1 is going out widely now, too. On that note - anyone with information as to when the MCU2 upgrade will be available? I asked about it when booking the...

    HW3 Upgrade

    Where do you find this option? Took my 2017 MX100D in and had the upgrade done three days ago. Same as wanche - the only visible indication I can see is the "Full Self Drive Computer" in the additional vehicle information section. Glad to have the upgrade done. Looking forward to new...

    Unable to drive - Authentication required

    Exactly the same problem with my X. Support could only come up with the “Have you turned your off and then on again”, which did nothing. I’d never noticed the Passive Entry option, nor do I think I ever toggled it off, but it was off. This started after the update to 36.2.1. I’m wondering if...

    Model X TPMS

    I have a 2017 Model X. Decided this year to have winter tires installed. When I got the car back, one tire pressure reading (RF) was way out of line with the others (41 / 42 / 54 / 41 LF/LR/RF/RR) I checked with my very analog tire pressure gauge & the pressure in the RF was right around 40...

    2019.12.1 Update

    Here’s why I love my Tesla: Software update enables a 20% increase in charging speed, knocking about 10 minutes off my time to charge.

    Ontario licence plate changes

    Call your delivery specialist & make sure they don’t mount a bracket. Hopefully they’re smart enough, but you never know & it’s nice not to mess up the smooth lines with holes!

    Looking for a Rugged USB key for Tesla Cam and Sentry mode

    After two thumb drives gave me the dreaded grey ‘X’ requiring repeated trips to my home computer to correct errors, I bought a relatively cheap m.2 (SATA) SSD and a slim USB enclosure. Has been working fine for ~ 3 weeks now. The SSD (256GB) was $55CAD on Amazon and the enclosure was $25 (also...

    Autopilot disconnect force with auto lane-change off

    I’d driven it several days after 10.4 was pushed to it with normal autopilot function, but that morning I got in & had the “Systems are powering up...” message. I’m thinking something glitched the night before & some settings got switched in that process.

    Autopilot disconnect force with auto lane-change off

    Does the force required to disconnect autopilot change depending on selected options? (Late 2017 Model X HW 2.5 EAP no FSD) I was driving the other day and auto lane change wasn’t working (I later discovered that the car had reset several options, including lane change, on its own - gave me a...

    FWD sensor & firmware update

    FWIW - the SC manager advised me “3-5 hours” to do the work, depending on how quickly the firmware update goes.

    FWD sensor & firmware update

    Called Customer support to ask about the 50.1 firmware update as I’d had the failed update on ver 50 a few days ago. Was told that sensors in my FWD need to be replaced and until they are, any software update will continue to fail. Anyone else heard something like this? Would’ve been nice...

    What exactly happens when I turn on/up climate control via the app?

    I've thought of it, but it's not uncommon that I have to leave for work early in the morning. Rather than have to consciously adjust the charging schedule to match my planned departure, I just leave it set to begin charging at midnight - that way I know it will be charged fully before my...

    What exactly happens when I turn on/up climate control via the app?

    This is my uneducated opinion, as a fairly new owner: When you activate climate control by the app, it switches on the heater or a/c as requested. Since these are purely electric functions (no motor to warm up before it will produce heat), the effect is quite rapid. Although putting a draw on...

    That's a different way to mount the front plate

    This thread got me thinking about this, and some quick Googling led me to this: licenceplate.ca I'm not affiliated with them in any way, other than that I'm thinking about ordering one from them for my X. There is an option on the site for US plates.
