Hey guys,
I just put a deposit down for a Model S and i'm super excited!!!! :) The Car's ETA is December this year.
I noticed that they released a AWD version, but I really don't want to wait until Feb for a AWD.... so i'm wondering how the winter driving is with a RWD Model S in Toronto?
Do...
Hello Tesla owners,
Glad to have joined this community! I run an annual consumer electronics show called TAVES in Toronto every fall, and we are looking to display a Tesla Model S on the show floor this year. I connected with the Tesla marketing team in Canada, but the team is very small, and...
I have been reading this form avidly for the last couple of weeks as I ponder the purchase of a Tesla.
Today I did it! I ordered a red 85P+ with a November delivery date. Chose almost all the options except the fog lights and the yacht floor. Bugged the poor customer service fellow with 3...

Can anyone tell me if Yorkdale or the Lawrence Ave. Service Center has a car on display with the rear facing seats? I was thinking about checking out the Supercharger today and wondered if I could see the jumpseats at the same time. Unfortunately the stores don't open until 10am...
Thanks!
I am going to the Adirondacks in a couple of weeks, and I am looking for a place to charge in or around Potsdam, NY. It looks like there is a J1772 plugin at Clarkson University. Has anyone charged in Ogdensburg, Canton or Potsdam?
Hey fellow GTA / Montreal Tesla owners,
I was really hoping we'd have superchargers by now. But we don't. I'm going to be driving from my home at the east end of the GTA region to Montreal in a few weeks. I'd rather take the Tesla versus my Lexus SUV that sucks gas. The trip is about 500 km for...
I'm going to be visiting Toronto in July from the US, and am interested in renting a Model S while I am there. I only need it for a couple of days.
Anybody on the forums interested? How about any commercial rental companies--any options?
Hi All.
I am planning my first long distance road trip to Providence Rhode Island from Ajax, Ontario. Has anyone done a similar run in this direction? I was planning to leave in the evening and stop in Kingston at the Best Western for dinner and top up for one hour and the stay over night in...
I am wondering if anyone else in the GTA-Mississauga-Georgetown area lost wifi connectivity with their Tesla this afternoon around 4 p.m.
-I tried rebooting the iPad centre console twice, and it did not solve the problem.
-I believe I lost connectivity around the 401/Mississauga Rd area.
I'm...
Hey all,
Anyone make a trip from Toronto to Casino Rama? Just wondering if I need to plan to charge in Orillia or I should be ok. I have a P85+.
Thoughts for people travelling long distances? From google maps, one way trip is 138 km.
Thanks.

I am waiting for my MS. From the forum at Tesla, I noticed that the reviews for Mobileye are excellent.
I noticed that there are a few dealers in the Toronto area for Mobileye.
I would like to have some recommendations from those of you who have installed Mobileye since I am very interested...
Just a heads up for those owners (and potential owners) who live in Toronto about a possible rebate available to you with regards to charging.
On the advice of FlasherZ's home charging FAQ, I contacted my local utility (Toronto Hydro) to let them know I was getting an EV. To my surprise, they...

Here is a tale of my longest driving day yet. It was a day of firsts. The first day of relying on public charging infrastructure, my first day going into the single digits of range remaining, and the first time I saw multiple Teslas in one day.
I set my charge timer for 3am and slid the SOC...

Hello.
I will be picking up my Tesla in April in Toronto. I'm just wondering if anyone can give me any feedback on their experience with the Toronto delivery process.
Reading through the forum, it seems some people's delivery process is awesome, and for others it has been a nightmare.
What's...
Hey all,
I have a conference coming up in April in Amelia Island just outside Jacksonville,Fl. My wife and I were thinking about taking the Model S on our first major road trip. I've been studying the Tesla Supercharger locations and I think we can join up with the Somerset,PA charger and...
I'm thinking about a drive from Seattle to Toronto later in the year.
The great supercharger wasteland of Idaho through Montana looks super slow. Once I hit Rapid City, SD its smooth sailing.
Has anyone heard any noise about permits or site selection for any of those superchargers?
Even a...
A large geographic area, to be sure.
I'd like to have my replacement Model S opticoated as soon as I pick it up. Any recommendations in or around any of these areas?
I've got a message into Hamzah at "Get Detailed", but want to be sure I do all my homework before I commit.
Thanks in advance...

Hi everyone.
First time poster, so take it easy on me.
So I just put in my deposit for my Model S :biggrin: this past Saturday (Arrival date in April... dreading the next 3 months of waiting)
I'm trying to get most of my ducks in a row, and was looking into Electricians.
Since there's an...
Anybody taken their Model S from Toronto to Chicago yet?
If so - can you share any tips/suggestions? Thinking about do this next weekend for a meeting. If I can't figure out how feasible it is, I'll just fly. But the car is so fun to drive that I'd rather make it happen if I can!
Anybody know if Pearson Airport has any charge stations for long term parking? Heading to Mexico for the week and would like to drive the Tesla to the airport and ensure I've got enough charge to make it back home again when I return!
I realize road trip reports and videos are a dime a dozen these days, but I thought this trip might still be interesting to some since:
1. We will be doing the trip in a 60.
2. It is winter.
3. We will be using a small but significant part of the superchargers built for Elon's cross-country...
I am a very busy Real Estate Salesperson in the GTA. I have been considering the Model S. Currently driving a beast of a Mercedes AMG but it's coming time for a change. My concern is that there seem to be many issues owners have been having. Sometimes the service sounds like its great, other...
New Toronto SC Opening Very Soon
I was just down at the SC by the Toronto airport today and it looks like the new SC will open mid November, if everything works out well.
Apparently the new location is around Lawrence and DVP.
Can't wait!

Will be in Buffalo NY next month so I made a reservation for a test drive across the river. The conformation email says:

I live in Hood River, OR. I will be making a trip to Toronto to visit family. I have told them about my Model S but it is still pretty abstract to them. I would love to be able to rent a Model S while in Toronto for a few days and show them how it works as part of one's day-tp-day life -...

I was approached while driving this morning by a man who said that he details cars at owners' homes, and that he has many (I think he said 12) clients who drive a Tesla. He said his name is Neil. Has anyone had any experience with him, and if so, would you recommend him? Thanks.
Hey guys,
I'll be doing a road trip from Toronto to Miami in October and am wondering if anyone has done this trip with the Model S yet.
Seems there is only 1 Supercharger along the way and that one is located in Florida and not far from Miami.
I would need to recharge at night as I will be...
So I got my condo board to approve installing a plug at my parking spot in the garage.
They got a quote for install from Speedy Electric for $5,600 +HST to do the job!!!!
Seems a little ridiculous to me.
Anyone have any experience doing this? or can recommend a good company that can provide me...

Hey guys,

Is anyone else interested in being able to charge there? If so, would you be willing to help contribute towards the...
I have to say I don't like any of the paint colors available for Teslas. I seem to only find the Signature Red color appealing, but it's not available anymore. As such, I'm thinking of repainting my Model S and am looking for paint shop recommendations in the greater Toronto area.
I am...
Hello everyone,
I've lurked around the forums for a bit... circled the Model S for the past 3 months, and eventually put my money down last month. Finalized June 7th, got my VIN shortly after (13757), and have since been waiting and refreshing the "My Tesla" page and checking the smart phone...

I love my Model S when it is gleaming clean, but I admit to being lazy about hand washing the car myself.
The Owners Manual has the following caution about using car washes:
"If washing in an automatic car wash, use “Touchless” car washes only. These car
washes must have no parts, such as...
Strangely for my normal driving pattern I've found myself having to travel to London Ontario from Toronto twice in two weeks. I'm dying to take my Model S but the return trip is 400km - too close to a full range charge. Any good charging locations along the 401 corridor or in London (visiting...
