Canada

I'm looking for a used 2015 or (preferably) 2016 P85D that's a better deal than what I'm finding CPO. I tried the usual (Autotrader, Craigslist, various classifieds) but coming up empty. I'd like to be under $100k. CPO is close, so I'll probably just do that if I don't find anything else...

Don't have a Tesla yet, but trying to get a sense of route planning for routes that I would typically drive. I have a relative that lives in Teaneck, NJ which is about 790 km (according to Google Maps). According to EV Trip planner, using a Model X 90 (there is no option for a 100) - if I am...

Greetings, Sure most will be happy hear that the construction of the Brossard Supercharger site has started this week. It is located in the indoor garage below the ALT Hotel / L'Étoile Banque Nationale at Quartier Dix30. Met workers on site that indicated the site will offer 12 Supercharger...

Looking for some tips on a trip we plan to take this weekend (leaving Friday). The planned route is 401- 402 - I-94 - I-696 (for only about 10km). The Evtripping site says for me to make a short stop at Woodstock, bypass Port Huron and arrive at my destination in Warren with about 51km in...

Recently, I've been driving around my relative neighbourhood checking out nearby charging stations. I don't have much of a personal need since I have a HPWC but l like seeing what is out there just in case. As luck would have it, I have two amazing (free) charging station very close to home...

I posted something in the main MS forums, but wanted to see if any other Canadians are feeling inspired. I have a 14 CPO 85 with 70,000 km on it. With the new price drop due to currency, included options, and Ontario rebate, the new base 75 isn't a huge $$$ upgrade. Is anyone else in the same...

Hey everyone: Saw these articles in the Toronto Star this morning. The first one is from the AP and the second is an opinion piece from a writer at the star. Interesting reads. The second article says this: "Governments are pushing hard for driverless EVs. To encourage electric vehicle...

Just had an issue with my S and received sterling service from the 4th street Service Centre in Vancouver - always professional and thorough Katrina on the service desk has left some big shoes to fill, but the new guys took care of everything for me It always pains me when I see some of the...

Good evening all, just got back from a 1,400Km trip from Toronto to Quebec border, to Ottawa, to Peterborough and back to Toronto (via Port hope). I have a 90D and and charged to 100% when I left; allow me to give you a debriefing of the trip and charging. - first stop was Kingston for lunch...

I just flew over the PMG Technologies vehicle testing track near Montreal today and noticed some big trucks drafting closely going fast around the oval track. Does anyone live near the track and know who is currently testing there? I just thought about this after reading the article on Electrek...

What was your odometer reading on your brand new, custom ordered Tesla on delivery? Specifically, I'm interested on those who picked up at the Lawrence location.

Victoria BC will again participate in National Drive Electric Week with an event — this year, it is on Sunday September 17th with the public invited from 11am-3pm, in the parking lot at Central Middle School (1280 Fort St — near Fort & Yates). We can always use more EVs (any make and model) so...

So, my Model S has the really annoying squeak between the driver seat and the armrest but from what I've read it is quite an easy fix. However, the SC fix (at least in the USA) is to put a bit of DuPont Krytox GPL 205 Grease on the driver seat. I have found it on Amazon.com (not .ca) so I...

It looks like they've made the adjustment for the C$ increase. Prices on the cars are down across the board. The effective rate is now 30% vs (I think) 37%.

Hopefully this is allowed here, I'm looking to take over a short term lease until my model 3 is available ~ Early/Mid 2019. Current lease expires early December. Here's what I'm looking for: AWD a Must Must have warranty for remainder of lease (given I think) Prefer Model X, but S okay too...

Why is the model X pricing so crazy in Canada. USA base price: S - 78.5k X - 82.5k Difference in base price models = 4k Canada base price: S - 94.6k X - 118.3k Difference in base price models = 23.7k W T F? With exchange at about 1.25x, the Model X should run 103k.... granted the S...

For those of you that do the drive, what model are you using and which chargers (how long) do you need to use? With so much time before I can get the Model 3, I might as well figure out which version will work best for me. I'm thinking the standard (maybe 360 km with AWD) may be good for one...

The 'Shop' pricing is now in CDN $. For instance the Tesla wall connector is now priced at $664 CDN instead of $500 USD. 32.8% much higher than the actual exchange rate.

Hi everyone We are planning a September 10 electric car rally (all electric cars welcome) from Ottawa to Merickville as part of the Ottawa commitment to the National Drive Electric Week. The Plan is 1. To depart at 10:00 AM from from IKEA at their electric charging area. 2. I am organizing a...

In calculating what we could potentially pay for a Model 3, what kind of taxes/fees do we need to add on after converting from USD to CAD? Do we need to apply the 13% HST rate? Anything else we should include?

I'm still trying to figure out how to get the car I want knowing more of the pricing now (won't be easy) and I'm concerned about ongoing costs like service and maintenance. Looking at the Model S/X plan pricing is much more than I'm used to paying for a car and with the options now matching (or...

Sunday on Cross Country Checkup: going electric. Britain just announced it's joining France, Norway, India, Germany, and the Netherlands in promising to sell nothing but electric cars by the year 2040. Should Canada join the club? Are you ready to go electric? Should Canada make the switch...

Tesla.com (US site) says International deliveries will start in the second half of 2018. Kind of what I originally expected but with the quick transition to production and the fact that all US cars are Canada ready, I was hoping for better. At least AWD will be available for us right off the...

The company that obtained a permit to build the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline might decide not to build it. A TransCanada Corp. executive told investors Friday that it is still assessing interest in Keystone among the oil companies that would pay to use the Canada-to-Texas line, as well...

After many failed attempts of getting through to someone at Tesla, we're taking to the "interweb". This is our, now somewhat desperate, plea for help. After YEARS of standing by and supporting Tesla in Michigan...through thick and thin (relatively early supporters), we're being left out in the...

Tonight Tesla hopes to make automative history again. Delivering much anticipated Model 3s to anxious prepaying customers. These having put their money where their most principled proud hearts lie. Showing faith in the electric car brand by investing a deposit of $1,000. Okay they paid to be at...

I did a search through the Canada section to see if there was an existing thread to jump into... a few close, but not quite what I'm thinking about, so here goes. Winter is coming. Who'da thunk-it? :biggrin: I'm pondering my options for winter tires and wheels. I've always bought a set of...

USD-CAD exchange rate approaching 0.80 (currently at 0.7944). At what point does Tesla start adjusting prices in the design studio? I remember when the exchange rate was going the other way, there was no stickiness on Tesla's part as prices kept going up and up. Right now a fully spec'd X100D 6...

I've read on this forum that others have had the problem I have had but I wanted some thoughts on what I should do... So, I've had my car for about a month now (S90D) and the first time the problem came up while I was charging my car at home. We had a power outage which interrupted the charge...

I'm in the GTA and can't connect to my S or X via the app. Login is OK but the app can't reach the cars. Also in car no streaming. Called Tesla tech support and they don't know but guessed it may be related to a Rogers outage issue that has been reported. Just FYI and seeing if anyone else...

Departing Woodstock on S75 fully charged. Destination is near the Ann Arbor Supercharger. Is it better to cross the border through Windsor or Sarnia? Travel time is almost the same. Just curious what border has less waiting time to cross to USA. Arriving at the border Friday noon. Thanks

Late last night when we were trying to return home from my son's place in Barrhaven to Kanata, we discovered that both my wife's and my FOB would not open the car doors. What to do at 01:30 AM. Called customer service which enabled us to enter car but vehicle would not start with either FOB. A...

Not too much chatter here about model 3. Who else has a reservation? What configuration do you expect to have? What's your guess as to your delivery date and why?
