    PSA: "Battery Coolant Heater" not included in battery warranty

    Had my car parked at an airport and when I got back in to go home last Thursday night, I couldn't get the vehicle to start (lots of various error messages and MCU seemed really wonky). After towing to the service centre, was diagnosed with the battery coolant heater failure today be fixed by...

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    This is new! Chargers are starting to appear on the app! They weren’t there last weekend! Still closed but closer.

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    Yep. We checked Friday night on a trip from Sudbury to North Bay and back again. It would have been sooooo much nicer to be able to use the SC but no such luck. We charged down at the Ramada Pinewood for about 90 min, ate dinner and gained just over 60km. Ended up back in Sudbury by 10:30pm with...

    «Safe» to buy new Model X?

    We picked up our 100D in early August '18. We have had it for a month and a half. Not going to lie, it has had a few issues. But Tesla is making them right, and while slightly annoying while happening, the car is amazing! We are currently waiting for our X to come back from getting a complete...

    Joining the family! Need your advises :)

    100D. We got ours 3 weeks ago. Love it. Picked it up in Toronto and drove it back. Even had an issue with the latch on one of the FWD and already had Mobile Service drive up to service it! Love the car so far!

    Joining the family! Need your advises :)

    Can really only weigh in on 4. We went with TD Insurance, ended up being just over $1000 per year but that will depend on your driving history, where you live (we live in Northern Ontario, so rates are lower than Toronto etc) We have been with TD a while, so it was easy. The guy on the phone was...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Got a few more shares this morning at 368.xx. Not bad. I don't have much but we decided after ordering our X that when TSLA dropped to ~ 300 we bought some. Won't pay off my mortgage, but it has definitely been fun so far!

    How many people actually test drove before buying?

    Never test drove, never even sat in one. I did have a chance to get a factory tour befoer ordered but that was coincidence, but definitely made me want one more. Ours was delivered on Saturday and it was the first time either of us had driven or sat in a Tesla of any kind. We do have another...

    Ripper88, we didn't get a VIN until almost month after our order. Confirmed May 18, VIN June 8th (or so?) Okay slightly less than 25 days but felt like a while ;) Keep checking your online account, I suspect your VIN will pop up soon. Then it will be another couple of weeks until you get "into...

    That's great! I hope you have a smooth delivery. Our cars were built at the same time, but mine is still in transit to Toronto. My delivery specialist is on vacation this week, so I don't know if I would hear anything either way.

    Tracking the container ship...

    I totally get your frustration! According to my Tesla app, ours has been in transit since July 3.....only to then be told that was incorrect and the car wasn't out of production until July 13th....and now nothing until it hits the Canadian border. I know this phase will end at some point, but it...

    What charger adapters does the car come with? Which ones to buy?

    We also bought a Chademo adaptor to use third party L3 charging. We live in north central Ontario, Canada and while we have a Tesla SC in our town, there is nothing further north, west or east other than Chademo. We can drive south to Toronto using Supercharging but that's it. Also we are...

    Great Delivery Experience

    Awesome!!! Love hearing good reports. Ours was built July 3 to July 13....I hope that they as much care with ours ;) It is transit now.

    Wiki Model X Order/Delivery Tracking - Google Sheet

    Once I saw it was in transit I contacted my advisor. He told me that a delivery specialist would be in touch when the car was 2 weeks away. Then I didn't hear anything for 2 weeks so I sent a note yesterday, which is when I got the adjusted timetable and information from the DS. So I wouldn't...

    Driving the Maritimes

    Thanks for the details! If we get our Model X by August (it will be tight) we will be driving from Sudbury to Portland, Maine, then getting on the Cat ferry to Yarmouth to see my inlaws. We were excited to see all the Flo chargers up and running now. Then driving back home through Digby...

    Just an update. I finally got assigned a delivery adviser but turns out the the Tesla account updates were not accurate (my Tesla account said production started on June 26, out of production July 2). The car was actually in production July 3, and out of production last week (so July 12-13) and...

    Your Tesla is currently in production.

    Same here. The message just changes. No email or anything. Now mine is "in transit" and has been since July 2. No email or call yet for a delivery date.

    Solid delivery, car, and first weekend

    Awesome! Ours went into production June 26, and in transit as of July 2. I must admit i am a tiny bit worried about getting a car from the production blitz of the last week in June! Mostly because we live 400km (300 miles) from the nearest SC. I know Tesla will make it right, I just don't want...

    No SC near me, how's the ranger service?

    I am really hoping for access to Ranger service. We take delivery of our MX in about 2 weeks and are 400km away from the nearest SC.

    Minivan to Model X

    My reasons: I am going from a minivan to an X and using it for the same purpose 1 - Our decision wasn't based on a financially smart choice, we wanted to drive electric and wanted a car big enough to fit 2 kids, plus an occasional friend/cousin plus our 150lb dog. MX was our only choice at the...

    How common is the Model X by you?

    Northern Ontario, Canada. City of 150,000 people. We will be the 3rd Model X in town (although I have only ever seen 1 other), but I know there is a red one I haven't seen). The first 100D I believe. There are about 6-8 Model S, and now we have quite a few Model 3s arriving. i saw my first Model...

    Wiki Model X Order/Delivery Tracking - Google Sheet

    This is like Toronto. They were receiving so many Model 3's in May and June that they rented out the International Centre by the Toronto Airport. Rumours say they were moving 150-300 cars a day. Cars were just in the parking lot. Everyone was given 15 min appointment incremements etc. The...

    Wiki Model X Order/Delivery Tracking - Google Sheet

    So frustrating Nitroretro! We are flying down to pick up our X. I think that I might require photographic proof that they have the car ready and waiting at the SC before boarding the plane. On another note, I checked after lunch and our X has officially moved "Into production" !!!! So excited!

    How come there is no "Open All" option?

    I don't have my X yet, but I would totally use "open all" (minus truck and frunk) every morning as I wait for the school bus. It would be a nice feature! Even better would be an "eject" button to launch my children out right after....lol (I kid, but man they are pokey!)

    Future Tesla owner

    On discounts - there is a video of Kevin O'Leery from Shark Tank / Dragons Den (the guy that calls himself "Mr. Wonderful" *eyeroll*) talking about how he tried for 2 hours to negotiate a discount for a car he was buying for his son. Two hours later, bought the car no discount. I think that it...

    Future Tesla owner

    Awesome! I am in Sudbury, ON and should hopefully be picking up our MX in early July! No they don't negotiate on new cars. But you can use a referral code to get lifetime supercharging. If you need one, feel free to send me a note!

    How accurate are these email?

    Sounds legit. That's great! We were told to expect a call on Monday to schedule delivery before the end of June. We just got a VIN yesterday. Our order was placed May 13. We are in Canada through, and have heard that they are prioritizing shipments here to avoid hitting 200,000 cars delivered...

    One Year Anniversary Thoughts on my Model X75D Configuration--Recommendations for new buyers

    Yeah, the older an was a bit "goldish" but I really like the cream. Light but not white. Sudbury Superchargers were installed late last year, about 5 minutes up the road from our house, although I can't imagine using them too often. And Parry Sound has a set, which is perfect for us when...

    One Year Anniversary Thoughts on my Model X75D Configuration--Recommendations for new buyers

    Great review! We got word today that our 100D should be scheduled for pick up before the end of June. We went back and forth on battery size but in the end we went with the 100D. Living 400km north of Toronto has a more limited SC network and the extra battery will be useful, especially in our...

    Call to Schedule Delivery.....

    It is definitely happening with the Model 3s. Some estimates are 200-300 Model 3s a day are arriving into Toronto right now. We had heard that about the 200,000 limit but didn't know if we would be able to get some advantage from it, given the mid-May order.

    Call to Schedule Delivery.....

    I just got a note from our Tesla contact (ownership advisor or something) that we should expect a call around June 11th to schedule delivery. Originally when we ordered it (confirmed May 18) it was a July delivery. I have not seen a VIN on my Tesla account or any update to status. But now the...

    Better financing rates than via Tesla?

    Tesla Canada still has decent rates for the MX100D. We got 1.99% last week. I can't do better than that with my HELOC or bank.
