    Tesla Cybrtrk

    Is this an EV version of the Pontiac Aztek?

    This truck design had better be a joke....

    The body really looked rushed to me. It's neat that the panels are so durable and all but come on, what market are they actually building this truck for? Is their plan to provide a proof of concept on the chassis and then to sell that to other companies so they can put their body on it?

    Issue with rear window when defroster on

    I hope you have better success with this than I did. I brought my car in, had them look at it, they ordered replacement glass, when I brought it in to get fixed I was told they gave my glass to someone else so we needed to re-book. I brought it back and a day later was told that there was no...

    Issue with rear window when defroster on

    I really wish more people were upset about this as yes, Tesla at the local level has acknowledged the issue but they haven't been able to do anything to fix it. I guess with the vast majority of the cars being sold into California thus far I can't be overly surprised as I can't imagine a lot of...

    Rear window with defroster on

    you wouldn't but when it rains you sometimes need to turn on the defroster or when it's just cold outside you may need to use. Plenty of times in the year where you need it.

    Rear window with defroster on

    I first noticed this in the summertime so I don't think external temperature has anything to do with it showing up or not. I am now running it in sub zero temperatures and it is still showing up.

    Rear window with defroster on

    the thing is that this is unique to the 3 and is not normal on any other vehicle i've ever owned therefore it is not something that should be accepted. If the wheels were wobbly on the 3 you can't simply say that it's "normal for the 3".

    nope, nothing. More people need to complain to Tesla about it to get their attention as right now most people are apathetic about the issue.

    Taptes new wireless charging pad

    I ended up putting the pads into the holes (with a small piece of paper in each hole to raise them a little) and placed the taptes in place. they all stuck to the bottom and it sits in there securely now. I'm thinking of tapering the top of the pad a bit and securing the cables behind the tray...

    Taptes Wireless Charger

    Back on December 4th I ordered one of the wireless car chargers for the Model 3 from TapTes (https://www.taptes.com/…/wireless-phone-charger-pad-for-tes…) and it just arrived today. For the record, I purchased the normal one, not the fast charger. It was shipped in a padded envelope to Canada...

    Water dripping into the trunk from the rear glass?

    We had some a heavy downpour tonight and when I got some stuff out of the trunk after I parked in the garage, not a drop got in the trunk. The lip stopped everything that was coming off the rear glass (that includes the water that came off the trunk and onto the rear glass).

    Canada VIN thread and Delivery Thread

    Hey, it took me 3 months to get my car when I ordered it. It will arrive in time, just be patient and start buying accessories before the car arrives (like a centre console wrap, do this immediately).

    I live in a slightly rainier area of the world than California (Vancouver, BC) and have very little water enter the trunk of my car even on the rainiest of days.

    Strange, my package also came with this page which clearly states you can't drive in vanpool lanes or bus only lanes.

    unfortunately your understanding of the rules don't matter and the actual rules do. Do your research as the package you got with the sticker clearly outlines where you can/can't drive.

    Disappointed in Tesla's pricing on paint

    The process for achieving the level of quality that they wanted from the different colours was deemed to be more expensive than originally thought. It's a pretty simple concept.

    Rear window with defroster on

    I as too pissed off to think rationally and ask for the manager at the time. However, Anthony in the SC was very professional and claimed he spoke with the manager who confirmed that his own car, the showroom car and one other car waiting for delivery all do this. A fix needs to be found and i...

    Rear window with defroster on

    So, I got a text today at 3:30 telling me that my car was ready to be picked up. I called into the store to confirm that everything on my list was done and I was told by Anthony in the service department that they actually did NOT replace my rear window even though I had been told multiple...

    Model 3 3D Maxpider Floor Mats

    Ugh, I still can't believe that someone is selling these (Tesla Model 3 All Weather Floor Mats - Heavy Duty Rubber) hideous floor mats through the Tesla Owners of YVR Facebook group for $189-$219 USD.

    Rear window with defroster on

    It actually arrived at 3pm yesterday but there was a few other things to fix they don't have time to do all at once so I'll be going back on the 12th to get everything done at once. They didn't give me a hard time about it one bit, it was quite easy actually .

    Vancouver BC VIN .

    pretty disappointed that Tesla doesn't offer any electric car option for Model 3 owners getting their car serviced in vancouver. I was told today that they currently have no loaners available for the 3 even if there is an S or an X not being used. Way to make us feel like second class citizens.

    Unexpected consequence of owning a Tesla

    I work in outside sale in the construction industry and I was concerned with the perception from my customers from me driving a Tesla. I have had a couple people say "Wow, I need to get a new job" or "Whoah, who got a Tesla" but when I explain the total cost of owning the Tesla vs the total...

    Rear window with defroster on

    probably a good idea to hold off on the tinting. If I have to live with this at least they can give me the red coating on the window. I still believe that if they simply turn down the amount of heat that is generated by the wires in the window it would probably resolve the issue.

    It shouldn’t be this way. No car I’ve ever been in has done this before and just because it’s a Tesla, it shouldn’t either.

    Vancouver BC VIN .

    Yes, the break pedal is slightly wider. Today was my first day of actual use and I saw no noticeable difference with it being a little wider. I ended up just pushing the pedal as far away from the accelerator as possible. Very pleased with the look and feel of them.

    Vancouver BC VIN .

    That is essentially correct. I signed up for everything with ICBC and then cancelled the comprehensive the next day to get it with BCAA. The reason I did this was because BCAA is awful at answering the phone when you call them and it was just easier to do it this way.
