The key word in that quote is "better".

I understand the sentiment, but there are regions where CCS chargers are extremely reliable, such as the Circuit Electrique network up here in Quebec (FLO in the rest of Canada). You still have to contend with the small number of chargers per site (wrt to SC), but they have many more locations...

Such a situation gave rise to a very entertaining and ongoing Youtube video series about the restoration of an infamous flodded yellow McLaren P1. Let's just say the damage was thorough, and smelly ... (Apologies for the weekend OT)

I can understand you wanting to use AI if the humans you employed were that bad ... ;)

Montrealer here. We keep our brushes in the main cabin, usually on the floor in the rear passenger footwell. It is easy to brush off snow above a door by hand before opening it, with minimal ingress into the cabin. Once done the brush (the flat model we use) does not affect rear passenger...

This Zeekr 001, despite the flagrant plagiarism of the Tesla UI, seems like quite a reasonable deal for the price. 100 kWh battery and what seems like decent build quality / materials for 60K Euro. Vehicles with similar battery capacity from Tesla or MB are +/- 40K Euro more expensive (as a...

I may well have missed it but this is the first time I read that a non-S/X Tesla does not use steel panels. The latter are often the corrosion weak link in winter climes with use of road salt and abrasives. Good news if accurate, but I wonder if the process can be grafted to North American...

Yes, settings are also locked in my 2022 S with AMD. Given that I did not update my car firmware recently I also suspect it is a YouTube-side change. Hopefully temporary.

Do you have Sentry mode active overnight ? It prevents the car from going into deep sleep, and will give constant drain similar to what you are experiencing.

Updated my refreshed LR S to 2022.36.1 yesterday evening. In my case, this has resolved the buzz ! ... and the new energy app is awesome.

My Canadian RBC trading account specifies upon login that the post-split share count will appear in my portfolio on Monday August 29th. The price is already adjusted for the split.

I did not stop to charge but drove by the Cornwall SC yesterday and 6/8 stalls were in use. Whatever the issue was seems to have been resolved.

My query was not to find ways to game the system, but rather a tax-efficient way of setting up investments for young family members (as close to a win-win as possible). There seem to be some financial mechanisms to do this (within limits) in the USA, I was curious as to whether anyone knew of...

Hello everyone, I came across an interesting thread in the investing forums about available options to gift TSLA shares to family members while minimizing their tax burden (with focus on minor children who can potentially benefit from a very long investment horizon). That thread was...

Question for my enlightenment: In the event that a large number of additional shares are approved (let's say Dodger's trillion), is the dilutive impact on existing shares accounted or adjusted for ? Is there any adjustment to their intrinsic "weight", or do they just become of much smaller...

I noticed the same in Quebec. Several of my team at work are actively looking to buy an EV (after 8 years of spreading the EV faith I feel some sense of accomplishment). The only one who was able to get a car quickly (within a few weeks for vehicle prep and charging station install) bought a...

Optimus = Beltalowda ? The Expanse storyline would have played out rather differently, but it is certainly a possible future variant of accessing the near-unlimited resources of the Belt. The economic potential there, once the technical hurdles are sorted out, is truly mind-boggling. Optimus...

I agree, but this being TSLA, logic rarely applies for very long (except over multi-year timeframes). Q4 delivery beat effect lasting 12 seconds (I jest?) is the latest example. Still HODLing my shares since 2012, irrespective of short-term noise.

I'd be curious to see what in my post you considered fearmongering. I simply stated that in my (8+ year) ownership experience of Tesla vehicles cold weather issues occurred with novel features designed in warmer climes (windshield ventilation, or as you stated, the door handles). I also noted...

The older Teslas you refer to have resistive heaters (as does mine), and indeed work well in cold climes (it is -30C now in Montreal). While I do not doubt Tesla will eventually fix whatever the issue is with their new heat pump, the reputational damage among existing or potential owners may...

Like Patrick I also have very little degradation (and driving is still fantastic), but supercharging speeds are atrocious now on these older packs, just a thought in case that's a concern for you.

KOL2000, I am going through roughly the same process, I have a March 2013 P85 (with literally no options aside from the trunk seats - "parking sensors, folding mirrors", what are those ?). The P+ was indeed a beast for its time, the suspension was clearly improved compared to the original P...

Much obliged for your insight. Mine is also a v1.0 car (the first batch of non-sig S delivered to Canada) with zero bells and whistles, and I confess an illogical attachment to it. However after 8+ years in Quebec winters (with the associated salt on roads and innards corrosion from an indoor...

Hi Omar, After more than 8 years of enjoyment I am thinking of upgrading my 2013 P85 (VIN 55xx) to a current S (likely LR, wife will be difficult to bend to the Plaid imperative). Curious to hear your thoughts as to what has changed the most in your experience of the car (for better and...

I resemble that comment. :D

Much obliged !

Can anyone advise me on where the keyless driving function has moved to in the refreshed app ?

Insanely filthy rich -> Ludicrously filthy rich -> Plaid rich

But when do we get to "START THE CAR !!!" ?

It did for me as well, I will follow up with my personal outcome once work is completed.

I know the FSD HW3 computers can be swapped in by rangers, but is that also the case for the MCU upgrade ?

I am in the rather niche group of owners with 4 kids, an OG 2013 P85 S with the rear-facing trunk seats and a 2017 X 6-seater (which replaced a Sienna). While I cannot comment on the Y 3rd row seats, and while it is possible that Tesla will pull something amazing out of the existing vehicle...

Don't forget the Etron, which in French quite literally means "Turd"...

A colleague of mine just took delivery of a Y at the Montreal service center today. He noted that the deliveries were literally non-stop, and estimates that up to 100 vehicles may have changed hands since yesterday. AFAIK this was the first shipment of Ys to eager owners in Quebec, the EOQ...

One thing I noticed is that the "technique" to input voice commands changed over time. In my MCU1 cars with firmware 9+ I had to press the "talk" button, speak, and press the button again to advise that I was done. Used to work well. With the "spoken sentences" firmware 10 update doing this...

Exactly the same issue with our 2017 X. I live in Montreal, so we get long winters with profuse use of salt de-icing on all roads. The ranger told me brake maintenance in similar conditions should be yearly (I seem to remember reading q2 years when I got the X, but may be wrong). He could...

I tried both features on our MCU1 X with an iPhone running iOS13. All voice commands worked, with rapid transcription and execution (I was pleasantly surprised). Texting via iMessage also worked very well, including voice dictation to reply to incoming texts. So far so good.

I was just about to write about this then saw your post. It seems that few noticed that with the bearing drop test the sheet of Tesla glass was not held down tightly by the clamps, and bounced / flexed slightly when hit. The same is true of the slow motion test throw posted on Twitter. The fact...

The screenshot picture of the S cockpit during the race posted above by KarenRei (#98185) is pretty damning ... Range Mode, really ???

Why do you assume they just “threw something together quickly”? It’s just as possible that they have been working on this drivetrain and used this as a severe track test. As well, this is a prototype. Prototypes break. Finding how and when they break is the whole point of making prototypes. If...

Amazing timing ... (apologies for the formatting, on mobile) Tesla unfairly fought union organizing and must reimburse employees, judge finds https://finance.yahoo.com/m/42eecc8b-e68d-3dad-bb43-00508dd92c7b/tesla-unfairly-fought-union.html

When did Donald Trump get involved in this?

There are many options, but here are a few that we used and liked more than average: 1. Hotel Lévesque (Rivière du Loup), has a Level 2 charger (but obviously the superchargers are close by). Spectacular sunset views of the St-Lawrence if you get a room on the front of the building: Hôtel...

Khazakstan ? :)

I was there last week for a service visit. Crazy busy compared to last year, essentially no parking space anywhere around the building, cars being delivered non-stop. There was a paper on the SC stall stating that the Tesla staff may need to use them for their vehicles during business hours...

You cut out the rest of my post, including the very next sentence where I said that AP2.0 cameras MAY be able to do the trick with a more powerful CPU, my point is that to this day Tesla has never confirmed that to be the case. I don't definitively know if the CPU is the only limiting factor...

You note these feature upgrades as if they are a given. Have you seen, in writing from company management, confirmation that AP2.0 vehicles getting the HW3 AP upgrade will get access to dashcam & sentry features ? Both of these rely on cameras that have been upgraded on v2.5 vehicles, and...

Also on the fence about this upgrade on an AP 2.0 Model X (which also happens to still be on v8 software, I am conflicted about the absolute need to upgrade to v9 for AP3, but that's a separate issue). Quite curious about whether we would get the dashcam & sentry modes with an AP3 upgrade, but...

Not sure if this was relayed here yet (didn't see it in the latest 3 pages :)), but I found it to be an interesting read: Why is The SEC Picking on Elon Musk Instead of Mark Zuckerberg?

That will happen with pretty much any sedan-type trunk if there is enough snow piled up. It is a good habit to swipe a gloved hand along the hinge edge to mitigate this. Agree with the other posters about keeping the brush in the cabin behind the driver's seat. FWIW, I live in Montreal, and...
