    Ottawa Tesla Owners Spring function

    Would love to but my wife and I are on a cruise in April but will be there for the next one. Thanks for putting this together. My son is driving my Tesla while we are away and I will mention this to him so maybe he would like to attend.

    Squashed gasket

    Thank you all. I can now see how it happened. I took my snow tires off and put my summer tires with rims back on because I got the snows put on to early in the season. The firm that put my winter rims on did not tell me about the centre hub. I am good with my winter rims but will have to take...

    Check up in Vancouver

    Had my Model 3 checked over yesterday and the service centre in Vancouver. On our ride from Ottawa to BC had a few issues. Nothing to serious but Tesla said would be a good idea to get it checked out. They gave my wife and I a Mercedes for the day so we spent the day in Stanley park. Tesla said...

    Made it to Nanaimo

    Did not need a tow truck for my Model 3. After getting all the warnings about problems with the brakes, steering, and traction control we were told by service that they were going to send a tow truck. They tried everything and warnings still came up. Tow truck could not get through roads so my...

    Driving from Ottawa Ontario to Nanaimo is an interesting trip.

    My wife and I have a cottage booked near Nanaimo BC for 2 months. We left Ottawa Dec.27th and had to head to Detroit Michigan because Canada does not have enough chargers to stay on Canadian roads. The charging cable would not come out at one of the charges. Had to use the emergency cord in the...

    Found a Magnet under the front of my Tesla

    Already sent them an email so hope they get back to me soon. Am worried that it might have something to do with the regenerative braking system.

    Found a Magnet under the front of my Tesla

    Good morning all. Yesterday I found a magnet under my Tesla. It is 2 inches long and 1 inch wide. Does anyone have any idea where it could have come from. I know it had to come off my car as it is the only thing that is parked on that side of the garage.

I cannot use my Model 3 because when I put the charger in the tab that locks it in is stuck down so that the T is always white indicating that the charge cable is ready to be pulled out. Tried putting...
