I had my drive unit replaced a few weeks back and was told it's roughly $20k value... not sure how accurate that is, but either way, so the Lemon response and he talked about a couple units being replaced, and I know edmunds had one or two replaced, so I'm wondering, who else has had theirs...

Hey everyone. How many people would be interested in a Car's and Coffee Abbotsford event? I can get us a wicked deal on some drinks at a local coffee shop and they have a big enough parking lot to show off the cars. Being that it's Abbotsford, those that are in Chilliwack, Langley and Surrey...

Hi everyone, Just a note that we are in the works of setting up a BC Tesla Owners Group/Club. The parties (meetings just sounds so boring) will be on the last Thursday of every month starting January 30th at 7pm. We've been fortunate to secure the Service Center as our location and have some...

Hello all, welcome to the show! In about an hour we will leave our place in Abbotsford with 4 people on a trip to Disneyland! I've tried not to over plan the trip, but rather approach it like someone who doesn't have TOCD would approach the same situation. I have the latest software on the car...

So I did the journey from hope bc, to sicamous bc, on a single charge with 20km to spare. Google that trip! Checkout the elevation changes mwhahahha

When going up a steep hill is it more efficient to go slower than needed ie slower than limit, or just go speed limit up big big hill? Ie long long slow but steady outpu of energy or short but fast???

Just got back from the cabin, and on the way home we drove through a million grass hoppers... now there are about 10,000 stuck in my front radiator (actually the space between the back lower grill and the radiator it's self. Any idea how to clean it? Its not open to the bottom of the car so they...

Alright everyone, if you tend to follow my "War" stories of making long distance trips with my 60, then here's a good one. This will be a test for the history books... ok, not that exciting but exciting non-the-less. I'm going to charge up (as close to Range charge as possible) in Langley...

What the heck is the chart showing? Here's what I know: It shows average kW/km over the past "your selection" km (ie 50km). There is a solid line that shows "Rated" and then a dotted line with "Projected". Then when you go down a hill (green regen), the line graph eventually turns green...

Anyone figure out if there is a way to get the browser to share it's location with a website (html5 location stuff)? I'm looking at a weather app in the browser, but it says it can't get the location. Blue Drop

Hello everyone, seems like since getting my car I have more and more reasons to post! I'm trying to learn a bit more about solar systems and the lingo that goes with them. Currently I'm using 50-100 or so kWh of power a day on electricity. I would like to get that down to 30-60 a day and so...

A friend just sent this to me and said "Your car is already out-of-date" lol. Very interesting though: The Super Supercapacitor | Brian Golden Davis on Vimeo

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I figure it's a great story and might provide useful to others. Yesterday I did some driving around town and then went to my inlaws to show them the car. While my wife was at the dentist I met with some clients and drove a bit more...

My wife and I live at the top of a big hill which on the way up, our "projected range" drops rapidly. The "rated range" however stays pretty constant. If I'm on a long trip over the mountains and my projected drops to say "0" but my rated says "75km" will the car stop? Should I be concerned...

Hey everyone My wife and I are thinking of driving from Vancouver to Fremont and were wondering if there are any 90Amp chargers along the way (before we finally hit the Super Chargers in CA). I see alot of chargers on PlugShare, but don't want to click through everyone single one of them to...

Hey everyone that has their cars already. How much of a change have you experienced on your electric bills (how much do you drive per month as well) Just looking for more data points

My wife asked an interesting question "can we plug a cooler in in the trunk, frunk, or inside of the car" Anyone?

I just emailed a contact at Cev regarding the bc rebate that expires march 31 and they said they were working to put together a petition to keep the rebate. To get your name on the list email: [email protected]

So I recently took a second test drive of the ModelS at the Bellevue store. My original drive was the 10 minute Get Amped tour so this extended drive was intended to give a little more time in the car before I make my purchase decision and lock in my order. The car was a green performance...

I was thinking about getting dual chargers (I'm wanting to drive the S to Whistler or to our cabin that is a few hundred km's away) and I know that there are 80Amp chargers at both locations. The dual chargers would allow me to stop, get groceries for the weekend and recoup enough charge to get...

I've been giving some thought to some things regarding accessability (etc) on both the ModelS and ModelX. The other day I grabbed my backpack from inside the house, leaped outside, opened the back-door of my car, tossed the bag in, and closed the door. Another day, I was looking for...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Roadster is now done production. No more. What does that mean for the battery that was designed for that car? Say I have a 2008 roadster and my batter dies in a 5 years. Will I be able to get a replacement from Tesla or am I out of luck? The reason I ask is...

People tend to chat alot about how much it costs to charge a ModelS, but I'm curious about the standby Phantom power that is used while keeping the pack at the right temp etc etc. Having it plugged in over the weekend with no use, might that use a lot of power?

Seems like lots of roadsters for sale, even some from 2011 and it makes me wonder why so many are for sale, and with such low miles. People get tired of the car after 3k miles? Just looking for insight as I prepare for the ModelS.

Read a couple tweets (saw them on my cnn money page) that said something about the US Gov removing the $7,500 rebate (or whatever you call it). In Canada we dont get the rebate, but in BC we get a $5k one, so it wont affect me. What about others?

What does everyone do for work? (Self employed? or executive, etc?) I'm just patiently passing time waiting for any news and updates from Tesla lol. I'm a Web Application Developer in Canada. Self employed

I'm sitting here at a coffee shop think that I should send something to the plaza owner telling them that they should install some public charging ports for EV's but not sure what info to send them. I was thinking a) is there a website that shows the different options (nema and J21171 (#)...

Ok, two questions in one. My house only has 100A breaker on the main braker so the electrician said I might have to run a new conduit from the main line to the braker, which means digging up a new conduit line through my garage as the hydro box is on the outside of my garage. Could I not...

I was just thinking the other day about how I could get a new Mazda6 for about 35ish, but then my gas payments over the next 5-6 years would be about the same as $30k which makes the car the same price as the Tesla, But, then I was thinking, the Tesla doesn't come close to what the Tesla is...

I used to have a remote control car that when the power would deplete the motor would struggle to drive the car up hills or on carpet etc. With the Model S will the acceleration and ability to go up hills etc decrease as the battery gets to the bottom 15 or 20 miles? etc?

I'm thinking of building a "BEV Social Network" where you could register your location, charge type etc. Then if you wanted to drive somewhere, say, from Vancouver to Toronto, you put in your start and end destination, and the site would create an itinerary for you of what route to travel, and...

What happens to warranties if tesla goes out of biz? Any historical cases of this happening? Ie we buy a 80k car and they don't get gov funding and close there doors and next day my at won't start... Am I screwed? Just curious...

I can't post a new topic, so I'll ask here: 1) how long to charge a 160 mile pack on a standard 120volt outlet 2) if you get stuck somewhere, how do you get jumped (or can you) 3) what about a 220 volt? (does is matter amps)? wahoo 244 res holder in Canada
