My guy is an automotive regulatory specialist. Establishing the problem will be the first bit. Establishing the costs is another. A broader implication of some kind of negligence or malfeasance is beyond any kind of remedy I am looking for. I just want the car to stop shaking and for them to...

Good call. I may do just that. Senior tech lead on the car Monday.

you could balance a glass of water (while holding) on one side of the yoke and get someone to video that...

Just to keep this going, I posted that after v11 of the firmware update my vibration diminished, this was true for a good 10,000km but is back in full force again. SC has blamed my tires (shifted belts on PS4s that I have never once launched with), unbalanced wheels (I've done numerous 3rd party...

Software 11.1 updated last week. No more vibration. No idea if there is a real correlation or I just slipped into a parallel universe where my car no longer annoys the *sugar* out of me every day. There is a faint ghost of it left, but barely perceptible now, even through strong acceleration, etc...

We just got back from Paris and I have never seen so many Teslas beat to rat *sugar* from traffic and parking. I have no complaints about the yoke except for the reach for the horn button which is idiotic. But I live in Canada. If I had to parallel park as often as anyone in Germany or France I...

This is a depressing thread. I had hoped my SC was right in blaming my PS4s, wheels, (winters on, less noticeable but still an issue, matching speeds in yoke/pedals, etc. worse w. acceleration but constantly there like an unbalanced wheel ) everything but mech or elect. but seems this is a well...

MSLR 2022, Vin ending 2429. Vibration all the time. SC has blamed my tires, wheel balance (both brand new, never launched). They claimed my PS4's on Arachnids had 'extreme feathering and shifted belts' after only 7,000km of wear. So put winter 19's on new winter wheels, fully road force...

Oh, one plus for Taycan with rear wheel steering, tge turn radius is insanely tight, I miss that with the new MSLR yacht.

You can set the levels. ‘Sport’ mode and up had a moderate one-pedal regen, the Germans call ‘recuperation’, but you can increase it deep into the menus…

Wife with bad sciatica- yeah not nice The promised 270kW charging at 800V I never saw once even under ideal conditions (low SOC/warm battery, 350kW pedestal). Don’t believe the hype…as for driving efficiency, one needs to keep an eye on the comparative kWh/100km stats. Tesla is half of my CT...

fwiw, I just did a lateral trade of my 2021 Taycan 4CT for a 2022 MSLR. Yes, relative to the Taycan the MS has the dynamics of a golf cart; top heavy and bloated. The Taycan feels planted especially over 150kph. That said, the software is glitchy af, Porsche sales were some of the most...

From a non-Tesla service team: "Motor is completely fried... as you can see, there were sparks from the 400v wires on the cover and the electronics fried at that time. This was either water getting in from the high voltage wires or coolant coming from the rotor side.. but we believe more that...

The Vaughan SC has just informed me that since the car has been with them for a 'considerable time' (5 days including today) they will start charging me storage fees of $100/day unless I proceed with repairs with them. THIS is how you treat a potential future customer?

Elon Musk Says the Tesla Model S (Kind of) Doubles as a Boat Customers Complaining—and Posting Video—of Teslas Taking in Puddle Water Drive Unit water intrusion Low Coolant Warning, Power Reduced, Front Motor Shut Down (have had coolant leak issues repaired before, could be this is where some of...

Thanks - yes that will be my last attempt. And yes my DU has already been replaced once, due to bearing faults that resulted in a 30% drop in mileage due to friction/overheating. (I could not do better than 270Wh/km when 220Wh/km was my average prior)

An electric motor filling with water or coolant with zero warning or sensors for owners to bring for service is a design flaw - and a common and well-known issue (which has been confirmed by more than a few owners to me in our local ownership group now) if you are asking me - which you aren't.

A company such as Tesla should be working REALLY hard to maintain existing customers (your very best future customer) or they will end up like so many early starships. Their unwillingness to show any love (not entirely true, they did offer a goodwill discount of $1k on a $14k repair bill) to us...

True. I have just had 9 years of grief with my early model S - and even Edmunds claims Tesla service has not improved over all of that time, so I am willing to try someone else, no love lost.

Could be - I can only convey what the service tech reported - which was that it was water, not coolant. Do new MS's have sensors for liquid in motors?

Thanks, understood. I will likely be shipping the car to Montreal to do exactly as you recommend. Véhicules électriques Simon André I am looking at Lucid for a next car.

My 2012 Sig (S2108) blew its motor yesterday 3 months out of the 8yr drivetrain warranty. It's Spring here in Canada - car has been in freezing temps since October, parked outside, but always under a carport. Here's the thing, when Tesla service opened up the motor after faulting to the point of...

No patent, no license, not proprietary. Are you a tesla owner?

And in the interim, ask the MTO to tie a CHAdeMO to Tesla adapter to every one of their L3 chargers for us. Why should all tesla owners have a CHAdeMO apater that is in use almost never?

This is my thought exactly. I needed to charge recently in Collingwood. Public money paid for a station (400 of them!) - this one at a Tim Horton's. The manager there said, "Hey, you're the first person to pull up to it!" - Yeah - but I can't charge here!! :/ WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS...

This has been on at least 4 of my work orders BEFORE my car exited it's warranty period (160,000km). At 165,000km, AC has stopped working entirely.

Tesla service reviewed this case on January 6th. On road testing the car, they noted significant DU noise (something I have grown used to, the early sigs all had that distinctive whine) - well, that whine is bearing noise - the source of the drag. A new (third now) DU was installed, and I get...

That's just it. My past experience, and other local drivers with sigs, and my 'test' against a identically configured P85, driven in identical circumstances and weather, indicates a minimum 15% difference, that's why I'm taking issue with it. On average, I think most people drive MS as if they...

It's not the couch change I'm concerned with. We have very few superchargers and cold temperatures up here. The 10-20-30% difference is enough to not make it to our cottage, or to require not turning on heat. Which makes the spouse call this a 'stupid car' - it wouldn't be an issue with the...

I hear ya, but the thing is, before my drive swap I was getting 180-200Wh/km - for my first 80,000km. Then drive swap - and I can't do better than 220Wh/km. That's what bugs me the most... and in Winter this is so much more pronounced. With all heat off - only enough to defrost - I am going up...

Zero difference from what I could tell at the time of the swap. I never felt a huge difference from S85 to P85 to be honest. P85D hell yes. I think I recall them saying the 85kW cars got the upgrades but not the 60s, if that makes any sense? PS - the 60kW loaner I borrowed at the last service...

Thanks, alignment - brakes - I will ask them to check, but I've replaced my rims and tires since due to dings/rash, I figured alignment would have been part of it. In fact my rotors and shields(?) were just replaced - but I'm getting the same lousy numbers. You might both be right, mechanical...

I have searched the TMC forum for answers on this subject, and while I have mentioned this concern on several work orders, I have never gotten a satisfactory explanation or resolution. Here is the issue: I purchased a Signature 85, its serial S2108 for Canada - so early days. I got used to being...

Have had some issues with ice and smart air not able to raise/lower in this last spell of -30c. Garaged the car in heated conditions, melted in very high, then dropped to standard. I've stopped parking the car in very high to avoid recurrence. Anyone else? Also, the new 'drive slowly to reach...

Wow, great to hear about the hotel in Ottawa! Just plugged in at Barrie now, 220a/372V, but chargers 1 through 3 (6 in total) are down. Orange charge port light and 'check charger power' on dash - not the 'pls fully insert' error. Guys working on them (and they didn't understand why the rest...

The Michelins rock Doug. Was doing donuts and drifts in an unplowed p-lot in Brantford yesterday. Traction control finally has aggressive bite, it's hard to fishtail the back, and it's way easier to steer out or steer through whatever squirrellyness was initiated- it's like a completely...

Agree all. Sequentially, Ottawa needs at the very least and ASAP a single 'public' HPWC. The MEC there has not ruled it out yet (I've made the case that their 4 charge points are underutilized and would be better served with 2 charge points and 1 HPWC. Renfrew, does anyone know the owner of the...

What a difference a supercharger makes! Having done North-Bay:Pembroke:Ottawa:Toronto:Barrie:North Bay often for the last 2 years, I can now do the same trips in HALF the time, with CABIN HEAT even in sub-subzeros (Woot!) and arrive at SC's with 100km on the battery instead of rolling in with...

Loved the 10! All the lakes - wow! Can't wait to try that one in the summer with a bit more speed - popped right out at the Kingston SC location. Arrived at SC w. 13% battery (even driving above S/L, having started out in Pembroke - cabin heat, -15C) charged at temp supercharger at...

As Jerry33 said, but I had major problems with voltage fluctuations and charging stepping down to 30amps constantly - the telltale sign of voltage fluctuations (really not a big deal - just slow) is you'll get a 'bad wiring or extension cord used' warning. Getting a HPWC instead fixed this...

Doug, now that Kingston SC is live, I think hwy7 thru Perth, then 10 thru Inverary to Kingston SC, then 401-Lawrence is the best (Winter) option?

I am finding now (for 2yrs now) google app on iPhone has greater fidelity for finding locations, and the route options have saved my bacon several times on longer trips. Usually I use media to pair to my phone, and follow google app's voice instructions over speakers until the MCU Navigation...

Was able to get Michelin X-Ice3 tires from a cancelled sale - because Tesla will still only sell the Pirellis. IMO these really ought not to be the default Winter tire. Thanks for the rx Doug - and heater description. Wondering if periodic on/off heating is in fact less efficient than constant...

Tx. Won't have to hunt for it after all :) And an update: The MEC stores have declined to install HPWC's - citing substantial infrastructure additions/changes not necessarily in their interest and/or in competition with other charge-point chargers. If a number of MS owners were also MEC members...

Was just musing about a rally for QC/ON owners and families. There are plenty of fun things to do along the Ottawa River before the bugs get bad. Wondering if anyone might be interested in participating in a Rally, starting in Gatineau, up to Shawville on the 148, including some events like zip...

Does navigation take you right to it?

Will be there this Sunday afternoon at approx. 3pm :) FINALLY! Thank you!!

Fingers crossed. Trip (from Pembroke) to Ottawa and onward to Burlington this Sunday night, sure would be nice to supercharge in Kingston!

Stevezzzz - tx for the tire note. Will change my update to get the Hakka R2.
