    Tunein Changes

    After the last update, Tunein changed. I can no longer find a bunch of my favourites, and The Daily, which is a top 3 podcast on most lists, has completely disappeared. Anyone else notice this?

    PEI Election

    Yes, I know it's only PEI, with a population 1/3 the size of Vancouver, but this is still kinda cool. Polls are projecting a tight 3 way race in today's provincial election with the Green Party on top of the polls. Polls are super unreliable tho as it's PEI, so few polls and high variability...

    Motor Trend Article

    Streaming

    I just realized something, though maybe I'm a bit late to the party on this one.... As the cars lte service is US based, this means we have full access to all US based subscription services for streaming in the car. I just tried logging into my sportsnet account and couldn't do so as the car...

    Battery heater

    The #1 thing I was could be fixed on my M3 is the loss of range in winter, and it's not close. Losing 40% of advertised range is a massive deal Apparently the Bolt has a built in battery heater to deal with this issue, but the M3 doesnt. Why? It seems like a fairly minor thing, and given all...

    New Tesla Service Patent

    Just wanted to highlight this, this is damned cool. It's like Tesla's will be getting service similar to that performed on aircraft. https://electrek.co/2019/01/08/tesla-detect-issues-autonomous-service/

    Kimbal Musk // Plant a Seed Day

    This is the single greatest interview ever. I was laughing out loud, I cannot think of a better use of the airwaves at Fox.

    Wall Street Journal // Toronto Star Hit Piece

    So the Toronto Star has a marketing partnership with the Wall Street Journal, and one of the WSJ's articles was published today. The dirt on clean electric cars | The Star Can't find the WSJ link. Maybe not up yet. It's a complete hit piece. So much so I took the time to write and tell them...

    Alex Voigt Article

    This is about the best summary article about Tesla's competitive advantage I've ever read. It's written by a German engineer attempting to prod their automakers into action, thereby save Germany from economic collapse, should Tesla consign all their automakers to the dustbin of history. Super...

    Ford Semi

    Found this interesting. At the end of the day it's just a video, there isn't actually a truck yet, but I think this shows the power of Tesla to move people along. No Tesla semi, it'd be another 25 years before Ford did this, rather than just 5. Tesla Semi's future rivals get teased in Ford's...

    Tesla Criminal Investigation

    While there's clearly a lot of Tesla related FUD out there, this definitely does not qualify. Terms of Service Violation The Justice Department investigating Elon Muck for criminality. I find this shocking. Under normal circumstances I'd simply shrug and say "hey there's trump being an...

    Wal-Mart // Tesla Semi

    Thought this was interesting news today -- Wal-Mart Canada ordering 30 Tesla semis today, to be operated out of Mississauga and Surrey. So anyone living in those areas will be seeing these trucks. Tesla Semi receives order of 30 more electric trucks from Walmart We deal with WM in...

    Tesla App

    My Tesla app is showing it has an update pending -- you know the little red number in a circle that shows on top of the app icon when an app has an update waiting? But I open my Tesla app, and I don't see anything anywhere showing it needs to be updated. Anyone have any idea here?

    James Murdoch // Tesla

    I've never seen this raised on any of the forums (or anywhere for that matter) so I thought I'd take a stab at it & get some feedback. How is it, that James Murdoch, uber billionaire, and the guy who just cashed out his network (20th Century Fox) to Disney's billions, is on the board of Tesla...

    Key card thefts

    I was read Elon talking about how some ppl are stealing signals from keycards and amplifying them to be able to use the walk up function and steal peoples cards. I was wondering -- is this weakness only with the key, or does it also extend to the Bluetooth phone connection. I imagine it isn't...

    Regenerative Braking

    What are people's thoughts on this? I've mind set to light (or whatever they call it), cause I find the heavy mode to be too drastic a change to driving feel. The second you get off the accelerator the car slows right down. So I'm wondering -- how much does going from heavy regen to light...

    What do you hate about your M3?

    This forum is realistically a huge lovefest for most things Model 3 related, so I thought it'd be fun to create a thread about the things we positively hate, or at least don't like, about our new cars. Three things for me. 1. Getting into the car. I'm 6'5", so for me the first consideration...
