Just imo, if $20k will crush you, I'd get rid of the S as soon as you can. I had my S battery pack die on me and I had always been meaning to get aftermarket warranty on it after the 8 year warranty was up, but never got around to doing it. I didn't do it at Tesla, and saved a few bucks by...

Just transferred my free supercharging from my old S to a Plaid X before the new year. I did the same, many emails and calls about transferring and making sure it can happen, but Tesla was upfront from the beginning that discounts don't stack with FUSC. Fine with me, took delivery of a demo...

Yeah, I dragged my butt on finding some sort of extended warranty or protection plan - my warranty ended Jan 2023. Of course within a few months after, HV battery needed replacing. I went out to run an errand one summer day. Once done and got back into the car to head home, there were all...

I found none when I had to replace my S's battery. Shipped it off to @Recell and super satisfied so far.

Right - like any other car repair done in the US, you'd need to declare the value and pay tax on it upon reentry. Or gamble 😆

Sent you a pm.

Tesla Collision in Oakville did it in a day or so. Took a bit longer because of the sheer volume of claims they handle there, even from outside of the province, but if you have an extra car this shouldn't be a problem. I also never let any insurance company settle bills with any service provider...

An update to my battery replacement with Recell. Honestly can't say enough about how smooth the process was, once they got their hands on the car. Shipping the car down was a complete headache, but Recell was super helpful, very responsive, and even helped the trucker with finding their...

Ha funny I just saw this post the same day that my 2014 P85D was taken off my driveway and now enroute to the USA to get rid of the dead HV battery. Don't care for drama but the only issue I saw was Tesla here (Oakville) only had one course of action - a refurbed battery with no warranty. At...

Anyone try to install a new/used wiper assembly themselves? My Tesla shop wants over $1,000 to install a new one!

I don't but found my second one on Kijiji. Took some time but they do pop up occasionally.

I think most of us knew that building out a fast charging network by themselves was the strategic thing for Tesla to do, despite having burned through a lot of cash (on the brink of bankruptcy if you recall), as they needed to alleviate this whole issue of range anxiety. Funny enough, at least...

I have a 2014 P85D that has a heated steering wheel. It should show up when you turn on climate control on your app. There is a small heated steering wheel icon by the steering wheel that allows you to turn it on remotely.

Ugh those pictures are painful to see. Sorry for that - I've always been concerned with this though I noticed that the Model Y, whether due to design or not, seems to be more susceptible to this sand blasting (my plastic trims are also sandblasted in that area). I've had my 3 since 2018 and...

Come on - it'd at least help make the irony clearer for some when EV charging spots get ICEd. ;) There are a few times I've had to stop by a gas station for a snack (pre-COVID) and the only spot is, of course, right by the door to the convenience store/cashier and forcing me to take up a gas...

You could do a wrap over PPF - did it with our Model Y. Initially wanted to go with a full matte PPF but the Tesla paint job was so bad that the dust underneath the paint and clearcoat would show up like little specks. Not noticeable normally but you won't be able to un-see it once you do. My...

What? No electric snowblower? :D:D:D

Had a flat tire and the mobile ranger came to install a new tire. He was willing to swap tires since he was already there but I don't have them yet. He also said he would charge the same rate as you'd get with coming in to get the tires swapped or a standalone mobile appointment. Long story...

It'll happen at any time. It's jarring and used to be very concerning as it doesn't sound that great for the car. You'll get used to it over time. It happens with my 3 and also now with my Y - metal contracting and expanding as the battery cools and heats. You're also bound to see it happen...

That's too bad - I got my plates swapped for Oakville delivery on August 1, just had to drop off the plates a day or two beforehand. Must've just squeezed in before they shut it down.

I'll converse with you over PM. Easier that way.

Haven't traded in but still have my 3. The forum has the usual delivery issues to look out for. In terms of difference between the 3 and Y, there's not much to report. Other than what you've highlighted, are there any other specific issues you're concerned about?

Oh no! Such a sad picture. Is it still safe to use or did the internal components get damaged also?

Meh, have had both heated and non-heated steering wheels across many ICE and EVs. One thing I will say is, and agree with others, I will never buy another car without the ability to precondition with my phone.

I'd agree with paint perfection for stealth PPF. I was going to do it until my installer pointed out the 43 paint defects on the car that was fresh from delivery. He tested a small area and the stealth PPF really brings out the imperfections like dust under the clear coat or anything unsmooth...

I love the matte finish! Might be a tougher job if you've coated the ppf as they'll probably have to rip off your ppf and redo. Your X looks real good - I'd just wait for your next Tesla. Roadster? :)

Wtf - I ordered non-P, black with white interior on Mar 24, 2019 and picked up on Aug 1, 2020. VIN avail a few days before that. Was I the most effed so far? o_O

Does this link work for you: Step3 | 3D Mats

Posted also on Model Y forum but they're now available. Ordered mine - $179.99+tax for front and back, incl shipping.

For the Canucks out there - the Model Y Maxpider mats are now available at costco.ca $179.99+tax for front and back, incl shipping. Just ordered mine. Step1 | 3D Mats

That's just awful - hopefully you get your hands on one soon.

That's unfortunate - it's been non-stop full throttle for Tesla in Canada when the first Model 3 mass deliveries started at the International Centre 2 years ago. You'll see a lot of customer service symptoms whose severity span across the entire spectrum of awful to amazing. Not an excuse...

Aw man, so close! But they did a great job! Haven’t gotten a chance to take a decent pic but here is one when I got home.

Exciting... now just need to convince the wife that we need to replace 4 yr old shingles.

Well I wanted to do xpel stealth ppf on my black MY to get that nice matte finish. Then Daniel pointed out over 46 paint defects - all not overly perceptible ("Tesla spec" of not having controlled for dust in the paint room as the dust is under the paint) but once he tested a strip of the...

Shoutout to @Tommy L - dropped off my Model Y and they sent me a video of every single paint defect they found. Tons that an untrained eye would never see. Can't wait to see the results and thank you!

I agree - likely the A/C though after 1 month, that's a bit odd. I just cleaned out my condenser coil on our M3 when it started to have that musky mildew smell after two years. Haven't seen it on our MY yet but if it's built similar to the M3, the cleaning could be just as easy. I watched...

Had a great experience at Oakville for my delivery - super helpful rep who seemed just as eager to find issues as I did. You'll have the rep for 1 hour so make sure you come prepared with your delivery checklist and go through it - the hour will go quick. The rep should take pics to attach to...

Barely noticeable unless you're parked for hours. I went out with the Y for a walk the other day with the fam for about an hour and lost maybe a few kilometres but that included preconditioning the car before i got back. I think the most I've seen is maybe 10 kms with the Model 3, overnight...

I think I see Blue! He looks glorious! :D:D

Couldn't tell you how many times I've gotten sentry alerts and reviewed the footage to see people doing a 360 walkaround to check out the car. Some you could tell are Tesla owners because they're clearing showing things like the cameras, the beamless glass roof, etc. I still love seeing the...

Yuzu, because we name our cars after food. :D

Mine is $112, grand tour, alumni, $500 ded, $1mil, accident forgiveness, 5 yr replacement. Though I'm in North Oakville so probably rated as farmland or something.

Tried NTFS to use the car to format, no good. Formatted to FAT32 and the format drive button was enabled so reformatted with the car. Works fine but I wonder if it would have worked with FAT32 anyway.

took some old 2.5" hard drives, bought an external enclosure with USB for $10 each... working great on 3 and Y.

You played it smart. I stood in line at 3am after the Model 3 unveiling to reserve it and that took over a year of waiting when it was delivered on Jun 4, 2018. Same story with the Y - put down my deposit on Mar 24, 2019. So a bit longer than the 3 but I assume it was the white interior that...

Going through the delivery process at Oakville right now - must say that some of the previous issues that I’ve read about seem to be fixed which is nice. That charge port and door are beautifully flush. Got a small dent in the Driver side A-pillar that will get fixed and was probably missed...

Yes, been trying the source code trick every day waiting for one for a Y. Didn’t even get an encrypted 5YJ before the VIN popped up on the main account page.

Good to hear the issues are getting more minor. Are you a 27xxx VIN? Higher/lower? I'm supposed to take delivery tomorrow and have yet to even hear from my DA!

You'll need the proof of insurance when you go for delivery. Others have uploaded a snapshot of their current insurance policy (me included) but all that counts is having the temporary insurance with your new VIN ready to go and effective as of the delivery date. I do not believe the absence...
