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...

Just got FW 2018.4.1 ec044c8 in both my S and X today, and was pleasantly surprised to find Canadian French as a new language option (as well as PSI units for TPMS and memory heated steering wheel). This has been a sore spot for many francophone Tesla owners here in Quebec. Better late than...

Fun video to watch, with a surprising cameo by a 911 Turbo S.

I just watched a YouTube clip by Salomondrin that demonstrates how to easily open a Model X frunk with a screwdriver. It does set off the alarm if the car is locked, but would not prevent someone from grabbing the contents without too much hassle. I assume this feature is to allow frunk access...

As scooped by Electrek.co: Exclusive on Tesla 8.0 update: new Autopilot features, biggest UI refresh since launch and much more Let the speculation begin !

Hello all, I have an upcoming meeting at the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec city, and cannot find a reference as to exactly where the Circuit Electrique station is located. There are two entrances to the hotel when coming down Saint-Louis street (public parking lot then hotel lobby with valet...

I'd like to pick the common TMC brain for advice. A good friend of mine (not yet a TMC member), after hearing me rave about my car for 2.5 years, recently decided to take the plunge. After a test drive at the Ferrier store he was offered a few vehicles that were available for immediate...

Article can be found here. Love the Star Wars references ! I also noted that the february 2015 issue of Car and Driver has a very positive article on the P85D (I read it quickly, was in a rush at the mall).

With confirmation by Tesla yesterday that groundbreaking is imminent, I thought it would make sense for the sole Quebec supercharger to have its own thread. If anyone drives by the site, please post some pictures!

When I came across this headline I thought Dodge had somehow pulled off a secret awesome EV project... Not quite, as it turns out... Worth a read for a decent chuckle. Whatever the author was smoking when he wrote that, it's potent stuff! The comments are not kind to the fellow either.

Hello everyone, Since the return of warmer temperatures we have had quite a bit of rain locally, and after leaving the car outdoors while at work, I found that significant amounts of water would pour out of the trunk hatch when opened, but not from expected places... - From both round...

Found this article to be better documented than average, and a nice summary of where Tesla is today. Financial Post - Will Tesla take off in Canada? My favourite quote: "But Dennis DesRosiers, president of DesRosiers Automotive Consultants, said he estimated Tesla has only delivered “a...

Hello all, Now that the weather is getting colder, energy use has been going up significantly (this is noted in other threads). My specific question is about the battery heater, and its pattern of energy usage. I got my car last march, when the weather was similar to current conditions...

Driving an S from Montreal to Baie-St-Paul (in less than 8-12 hours) - feasible? I need to attend a conference in October at the Hotel La Ferme in Baie-St-Paul. I made this trip last year in my G37, but would like to know if anyone made the trip without issues in a Tesla. I plan on...

Hello everyone, I had initially not thought that I would need to tint my S's windows, but over the last few days with sunny (but not hot) weather, my kids sitting in the rear-facing seats complained that the sunlight, such as it was, was making them hot. It's not even summer yet, so I...

Hello everyone, I came across this thread on the "other" Tesla forums, and noted one owner's comment (suspiciously named Robert22, living in Boston :wink:), quoted below: "Robert22 | FEBRUARY 24, 2013 I've been driving in snow the last two weekends here in the Boston area. One issue...

Hello all, I am currently trying to decide which winter tires to buy for my upcoming S (I live in Montreal), and have narrowed it down to Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7s, either with or without studs. I have never owned studded tires (or a RWD car, for that matter), and would be curious to hear from...

This journalist had a somewhat unpleasant experience (to say the least) trying out the two east-coast superchargers in the current cold weather. New York Times - Stalled on the EV highway I hope Tesla react proactively to this, given the concerns about range in colder-than-California weather.

In the recent Autos.ca first drive review of the Tesla S, they mention that the rear-facing seats have not yet been approved in Canada. I know not many cars have been delivered north of the border to date, but does anyone have any info on this?

... in the next two to three weeks. Existing reservation holders will NOT be affected, as long as they finalize their order (when their turn comes) within an "fair, predetermined timeframe". First I heard of this, but it was posted by Nick Kinkaid on the new Tesla bulletin board...

A quick question to floridian TMC members: I will be in Miami in late October for a scientific meeting (at the Miami Beach Conference Center), and would like to take this opportunity to test drive an S. I unfortunately could not make it to the Toronto Get Amped event. I will have a...

A question for fellow TMC'ers from Quebec. Does anyone know if the Tesla HPC is eligible for the 'up to $1000' refund for purchase / installation of a home charging station? The criteria are as below: To be considered for this program, the station must be: - New - Powered by a 240...

Hello everyone, With the Canadian Beta tour being in full swing, I will finally get the opportunity to see an S in the flesh, but expect that I will not be able to assess the performance version (which I am considering getting) for quite a while. For those of you lucky enough to have seen...

Alex, Slightly off-topic, but have you heard of any charge points between Montreal and Quebec? The circuit électrique map is blank for now. I often have to attend meetings in Drummondville (at the parking lot-challenged Le Dauphin hotel), I think it (the city) would be a logical place to stop...
