    Supercharger - Nepean, ON - Robertson Road

    I checked today. Still not operational.

    Supercharger - Perth ON

    I drove out from Ottawa to check it out today. As of 11:00 am, it was not working. I tried two stalls. I suspect it was working recently only for testing purposes. This was the same pattern we saw with the Deep River and North Bay chargers where people reported some sporadic service before they...

    Supercharger - Nepean, ON - Robertson Road

    I saw this on the site today. Don't know how long it has been here but this at least definitely confirms that this will be a Supercharger site.

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    Yes, I've seen the latest Plugshare check ins for it so I do realize that people have been using it recently. Nonetheless, I'm not comfortable relying on that to guarantee that it is working when I'll need it, especially since Tesla still has it marked as "Temporary Closure".

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    I'm in the same position, with a road trip I want to take from Ottawa to Kirkland Lake in the next week. North Bay is still marked as "Temporary Closure" on my Model 3 Navigation system. Anyone know how long North Bay has been in this state and if there is any way of pinging Tesla to get more...

    Vendor Scan My Tesla, a CANBUS reader for Android

    Thanks for the quick reply. I had thought writing to SD cards was possible because I had seen this in the change log "Logs are now written to /sdcard/ScanMyTesla/ (App can only get permission to write logs on Android 5.0. Browsing for logs is acting strange in pre-5.0)"

    Vendor Scan My Tesla, a CANBUS reader for Android

    Pardon me if this is a newbie question. I'm coming from an ios background. How do you set up Scan My Tesla to log to an SD card rather than internal storage? I've got a micro SD card in the Android phone my son donated to me, that card is set up as removable storage and the phone can see it, but...

    Canadian CHAdeMO charging

    Agreed re: "correct side". After I left that charging station, a Model S backed into the CHAdeMO side of the charger, ran the cord around the back of his car and had enough room with the added length of the CHAdeMO adapter to reach his charging port.

    Canadian CHAdeMO charging

    I too wasn’t sure how to route the cable. This was my first use of a Petro-Canada charger (Brockville, Ontario). I arrived there with a cold battery and 62% state of charge so I wasn’t surprised that my starting charge rate was 32 KW. The CHAdeMO adapter I believe will only take 50 KW max. I...

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    I recommend getting the access card. The current cost (which I think is what I paid as well) is $CDN 15. The phone app has always worked for me, but the benefit of the access card, especially in remote areas, is that it isn't dependent on internet service being available. Thus it's a good backup...

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    Yes you need an app and/or an rfid card. Both are available through FLO (www.flo.com and select the Canadian English or French site). Once you've registered, you put some money into your FLO account through your credit card. I've found FLO to be very handy as it is an umbrella service that...

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    Fantastic news. Thanks for posting. Just curious. If you arrived at North Bay with only 10%, does that mean that you didn't charge very much at Deep River. I would have thought that if you got a relatively large charge at Deep River you would arrive in North Bay with a larger state of charge.

    If you are on Plugshare, log this! You might be the first non-corporate Tesla to charge there !!

    North Bay as shown in my nav system on my M3. As per above posts, it would be great if someone could confirm it is really operational.

    Hi, I do have a CHADEMO adapter. I'd never considered a Quebec oriented route. Thanks for the info.

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    Hi, I make many trips to Kirkland Lake from Ottawa as my son lives there. All in an ICE car so far, looking forward to making the trip in my M3. Do you have a strategy for charging once you make it to Kirkland Lake? In my case, I can charge at my son's house but only off 110 volt. I'm not sure I...

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    I think until we see the Supercharger as active on the Tesla navigation system, with real time updates as to how many stalls are currently available, that we won't be able to consider the site fully open.

    Supercharger - Deep River, ON

    “Christmas gifts from Tesla” This is a post similar to one I did today in the North Bay thread. I made the trip from Kirkland Lake to Ottawa today in my Subaru Forester, not my M3. Didn’t stop to check out the North Bay site but I did stop at Deep River because I saw a White Model S backed up...

    “Christmas gifts from Tesla” Hi, I made the trip from Kirkland Lake to Ottawa today in my Subaru Forester, not my M3. Didn’t stop to check out the North Bay site but I did stop at Deep River because I saw a White Model S backed up (but not plugged in) to one of the stations. There was a Tesla...

    Normand, thank you VERY MUCH. Great detective work on your part. I'd tried in vain to search for a list of locations.

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    NCAMIRE, do you have any more information about plans for Hydro One chargers in New Liskeard and Matheson? I hadn't heard about plans for them. My son lives in Kirkland Lake, which only has the one Tim Horton's / KSI charger and it would be great if there were other charging alternatives...

    Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating all brake calipers every 12 months or 20,000 km

    Thanks for the info. Is this the first time you've done this, and if so how many winters were the brakes exposed to the elements?

    I went to the Ottawa Service Center the day after I'd seen the post from can37 about him getting his rims. The center was not officially open but Patrick was there. I too wanted to order 4 aero rims. He told me to use my Tesla app, and request service in the "other" category and describe the...

    Just gently pull the hubcap off and you've got a wheel under it with plenty of spokes for wrapping.

    An update. Chris from the Tesla Mississauga parts department called me today. He told me the Ottawa center should be up and running in September and I'd be able to get the phone number at that point.

    Canadian Stores and Service Centers

    Thanks for the info. By cloning, do you mean that they just detect what frequency the stock TPMS sensors operate at (I believe it is 433 MHz) to set the OEM ones to the same frequency, or is there something more complicated being done?

    Canadian Stores and Service Centers

    I don't have the phone number but I'm in the same situation. I'm in Ottawa. Wanted to get some rims and TPMS sensors for winter. Called both Montreal and Lawrence parts departments and nothing but the sound of crickets from them :( Very poor response in my opinion. In desperation, I called the...

    Canadian CHAdeMO charging

    Hi, I had no problems with the adapter at both of the Chademo stalls here at the Park N' Ride. I don't know if this might be the issue, but both times I followed the instructions that came with the adapter, namely to attach the adapter to the Chademo plug at the station (the adapter plugged...

    Canadian CHAdeMO charging

    I ordered the Chademo adapter the first day that it was announced that the Model 3 would support it. I recently downloaded the 2019.24.4 firmware package to my car to enable it. This is at the Electric Circuit (FLO) charger at the Terry Fox Park n Ride in Kanata. The adapter worked flawlessly...

    SuperCharger - North Bay, ON

    Photo of the Supercharger construction site in North Bay today. No sign of any electrical work. From a road trip I took from Ottawa to Kirkland Lake in my Subaru. Would have preferred to have taken my M3 LR RWD but waiting for the update so I can use the Chademo adapter I just got.

    Likewise, my order from this morning has been shipped. I'm glad I ordered quickly though, as I suspect many M3 owners have mused about have this adapter once it was supported.

    Have you recently received an autopilot trial for your M3?

    Thanks for the info. I've just checked the Autopilot menu and nothing there about starting a trial or turning full autopilot on. If I do need to call to get a trial, I think I'll time it to just before I'm about to go on a long road trip. Ironically, I just came back from a 1,700 km road trip...

    Have you recently received an autopilot trial for your M3?

    Hi, I've had my Model 3 Long Range RWD for about two months now and 5,000 km. I did not order autopilot. I had heard that in the past, once the car had some mileage under its belt that Tesla would offer the car free autopilot during a trial period (30 days?) with the option to buy autopilot...

    Windshield reflective sunshade for Model 3

    Model 3 Standard Range (Canada) Range: 150km

    I would be very careful about a buy now / unlock later plan. I've seen some threads musing that Tesla can't unlock the range, not because of technical issues obviously but because the Federal government wouldn't allow it.
