    Buying used Tesla besides Tesla?

    Ya I don't know what's up with them these days, I spent a few days trying to get in touch with them to buy some TPMS replacements. Didn't get response for ages and then got a callback at like 10PM at night one night (sent it to voicemail) and they said "please SMS me on this number" and when I...

    Warranty Adjustment Program - Touchscreen Component

    I got the email last week and am happy to see it. My screen has had a couple of odd reboots and similar stuff recently ... and my mileage still falls under the limit. I had the screen replaced about a year ago under warranty but not sure if I got a new one or a rebuilt one ... so hopefully...

    Model S - Coming out of Warranty - Canada

    I guess you were luckier than I. I dealt with two different sales reps and it was like pulling teeth with both. I even tried to figure out how to escalate it to someone in management but got nowhere. The one sales rep wouldn't even speak to me on the phone at all, period. They said that they...

    Model S - Coming out of Warranty - Canada

    I tried that route and finally gave up after weeks of chasing my tail. That was a horrible, horrible experience at trying to spend $80k on a used vehicle. I ended up buying from a (non Tesla) dealership near me that sells a lot of used Teslas. Unless they change up their methods I will...

    Anyone in Canada on AP1/MCU1 get 2020.4.1 yet?

    You have to follow the directions in the Release Notes, there's a couple of steps you have to take to get things syncing.

    Anyone in Canada on AP1/MCU1 get 2020.4.1 yet?

    Running on my AP1 2015 S. The voice commands feels much more responsive (a lot of times in older releases I had to wait a good amount of time for it to first activate and then try a second time for it to work). This time around it responded quickly and first shot. Only tried a couple of...

    Model S - Coming out of Warranty - Canada

    Yep I mean if you do have to pay $6k out of pocket for a repair it's probably a major one ... and if you have to pay more then it for sure is super major. Considering the battery and motors are still covered under warranty ... I'm glad I made the decision to not spend the money up front. If I...

    Model S - Coming out of Warranty - Canada

    I was in the same situation a while back as well, but when crunching the numbers it was a big outlay and assumed that I would be spending at least $1500/year on repairs out of pocket (not to mention the deductible each time you need to use it). Considering my car already has a replaced MCU...

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    Yes I've been smacked down (I think probably in this thread) at one point because I said it was improbable that they haven't made any code changes that affect AP1. The "experts" assure us that nothing has changed since the day AP2 shipped ... but I'm with you in that there must be something...

    Window Tinting - GTA?

    I'll do some research before I take it back in to anyone at this point. The shop guy did call me back a couple minutes after posting this last update and said "We won't charge you! We'll clean your car! I just need your permission to clean it!" but I'm done with them at this point. That...

    Window Tinting - GTA?

    Aaaaand literally within 10 minutes of posting this I just got a call from Natalie ... apparently they were "about to start on my car" but they noticed that there is some kind of "odour" in the car and because they would have to be inside the car with the steamer and the doors all closed they...

    Window Tinting - GTA?

    My Inception Auto Detailing saga continues ... dropped my car at the appointed time of 7:30 this morning, but they guy who was supposed to be working on it and promised me it would only take a few hours and that I would have my car back today wasn't even there. The guy I dropped my car with was...

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    Nope I wasn't around, I've just recently come into the Tesla fold with my older model. I know that the AP2+ versions took a while to get working well but didn't know any of the mechanics behind it. It makes a lot of sense for them to ditch and go with a different system if the MobilEye one is...

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    Hmm ok. I find that incredibly odd but if he has some inside knowledge I guess it's possible *shrug*. In all the system design I've ever worked with changing inputs didn't mean you tossed the whole setup out and started fresh ... but again, it's possible.

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    Have anything to back that up? Just because the sensor package is out of date doesn't mean that we're not going to see overall behavioural changes in AP (regardless of whatever "input" hardware it's using). Does that also mean that you assert that none of the overall AI learning has any affect...

    Tesla Owners Clubs in Canada

    The $50 fee to join was enough to make me close the browser tab and not go back. Like others it's not necessarily the $50 itself, it's the value proposition. Also to be honest none of the events really appealed to me.

    Used MS 19" mag or compatible for spare tire

    I have a set of aftermarket on my car (my daily wheels) and have been happy with them. They are Replica R187s (lots of others on here have used them as well). Canadian made, have been running them for 6 months and no issues to date.

    2019.16.1.1 here, was looking forward to the battery condition when approaching a supercharger. Did a day trip on Saturday and I actually got terrible charging speeds at the supercharger both times :( Not sure if it was a software issue or a supercharger that was only putting out very limited...

    Window Tinting - GTA?

    Had to chase them down today to get a followup. Am booked for the window tint replacement again in a MONTH. They just have no saturday availability apparently, so I get to stare through the big gash in my line of sight for another month. I've decided that I don't want them to work on the...

    Window Tinting - GTA?

    So I was supposed to have the tint replaced this weekend but due to some sort of timing screw up (not sure if it was me or them) it didn't happen. Not sure who messed it up because I never got sent the appointment confirmation/calendar invite I was told to expect so I showed up at what I...

    Mine has LTE but I was told that at some point the modem was upgraded in my car by the previous owner.

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    Thankful I've only had one more instance of inappropriate braking (that might not have been super in appropriate). I did find out that this update ignores the "Emergency Braking on Autopilot" setting ... because I had been using that option since the first incident ... but it still did it even...

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    2015 S 70D AP1 and installed 12.1.1 today. Scary bad experience on TACC, it kep misidentifying a tractor trailer as two cars colliding and slamming on the brakes hard in heavy traffic (luckily no one following too close). It happened 5 times in 10km then we people started being closer behind...

    2019.12.1 Update

    I got 12.1.1 in my AP1 Model S and TACC was scary dangerous coming home today. Thank goodness no one was following too close ... it was misidentifying a tractor trailer two vehicles ahead and it kept trigger a collision warning and slamming on the brakes HARD. From the images it showed on the...

    Window Tinting - GTA?

    Ok well to their credit I took my car into Inception yesterday for them to look at and they're going to replace the windshield tint. As best we can tell their cutting machine might have done something funky and scratched the film in a couple of places (the scratches were perfectly straight and...

    Window Tinting - GTA?

    I used Inception just a couple of weeks ago to get tint for front side windows and windshield. Taking the car in again on Tuesday to have them look at the windshield because there is a TON of fibrous debris under the film and a few places with damage on it (a couple of deep scratches and a few...

    Won't gamble with firmware updates any more

    The whole computer using world are beta testers at the end of the day ... I really do wish there were release notes and the ability to update on demand (or at least stash your update card until such a time that you might want to use it). The way it runs now, while it makes a lot of sense from...

    Ontario licence plate changes

    You're right, it all depends on intent -- if you're wearing any kind of face covering AND have intent to do something bad then it's illegal according to Canada's Criminal code, Section 351(2). So in these cases if you're covering your license plate and/or making it more difficult to read then...

    Ontario licence plate changes

    Not relying on the plate to solve the issue by any means, but it's a least something to start with and it's the law ... I see plates covered by material so dark on a daily basis that even when it's parked in a parking lot it's very hard to read when stationary, let alone moving or being captured...

    Ontario licence plate changes

    Looks aside I think that front plates are really important. I also think that they need to start regulating all the tinted out license plate covers that are everywhere these days ... the plates are on the car so that your vehicle can be identified if/when it needs to, like if you're driving...

    AP1: AP vs TACC vs different days

    I'm going to have to pay much closer attention to things and see if this is still something that's ongoing for me. I also realized that I recently had the front camera replaced after repeated failures not all that long ago, so maybe this stuff was a symptom of that ... today things seemed...

    AP1: AP vs TACC vs different days

    Hmm that's interesting. I'm on the same version for a few months and definitely seems to be different between the two -- or maybe I'm imagining things ... On another note do you see different behaviour on different days? I'm just wondering if there's something odd with my setup and I should...

    AP1: AP vs TACC vs different days

    It's not a matter of different distance numbers, what I'm seeing is that even with the same distance number ACC and AP behave differently. Also with the exact same distance number. TACC is most often more aggressive in terms of acceleration and braking where AP is a bit more mellow. Also from...

    Different speed limit behavior on the other side of the street

    I don't think they have much of a priority for getting map issues fixed. Since the day I got my Model S I've been reporting an impossible left hand turn it tells me to make every day and it still hasn't been addressed many months later. I'm very glad my AP1 car actually just reads the speed...

    AP1: AP vs TACC vs different days

    I don't know if this has been beat to death here or not as I didn't see much from a casual search so apologies in advance ... Has anyone noticed differences in driving dynamics between TACC and AP in the same situations? I've noticed it quite a lot lately. TACC has been more aggressive for...

    Seriously Tesla, TACC sucks now

    No problems here but I'm still on older firmware and use TACC daily so maybe I'll hold off if/when I do see an update. My car was in for service not long ago and I got a notification on my phone that there was an update, but it came back with the same firmware as it left with and I haven't had...

    Well said and thanks for sharing that info. I commute daily and some of the stuff I see some of these guys do ... OMG. I've had some bad ones done to me as well. And they are truly a major risk on the road, as are people that drive any vehicles that don't understand the concept of inertia and...
