Just thought I'd throw this out there. Heading to Vancouver and Kelowna tomorrow but unfortunately, can't bring my Model S on the plane. Does anyone know of a place that I can rent one at a reasonable cost for a week? Thanks

I feel the need to give a shout out to the amazing service from the service team at Tesla Vancouver. We had a door issue on Sunday which we were able to get latched and to continue to use our car. Of course, this had to happen during a long weekend and we were scheduled to start a road trip...

Does anyone have a Chademo adapter I can borrow/rent for an upcoming roadtrip down south? I think I've planned my route so I can supercharged, but I want to be prepared for the unexpected (e.g. full superchargers).

After a two year wait, we received our X 90D on Friday afternoon and we could not be more thrilled to be new members of the Tesla family! Everyone in the household is thrilled by this car, especially the dogs who can now ride comfortably with us as a family. Having two kids in car seats and...

I'm planning a trip to Northern California from Vancouver BC. Has anyone gone through this roadtrip who is willing to share what they did (where to stop for hotel, what attractions they stopped at washington, oregon, and california/san francisco)? So far the one that's confirmed in my trip is...

Hi there - Will be spending a couple of days driving back and forth between Battle Ground and Vancouver (WA) next month. While it looks good charging up in Elmer's Restaurant 255 N Arney Rd Woodburn, OR 97071 before heading to Battle Ground - range is looking a little tight back and forth...

The photos were taken last night and this morning (16th and 17th of May) The service bays look almost ready with the computer installed.. (wasnt there yesterday as far as I can remember) Looks like they are close to done.. the storefront looks like it still needs more stuff to be installed but...

Taken just now at the new Fairview/Kits store/service center. Sorry for poor quality, the gate is usually open, but it was closed this morning and I had to take the picture through a gap. I have other photos of inside the store taken from outside and such, will upload them later.

I live in Victoria, British Columbia and am happy to see, based on a quick forum search, that there are other Islanders here on the forums. I ordered a Model 3 on April 1st, this will be our first EV. We currently have a 2007 Hyundai Entourage, so moving to a smaller vehicle alone will be a big...

Well... didn't expect Vancouver to have a line-up this early. I was going to go over at midnight (12:01am) on the 31st after I get off my night shift. I don't suspect anyone else on this forum is going super early, right?

Just came back from the Vancouver Auto Show. What struck me that the most crowded stand of the entire show was that of Tesla. Unfortunately, no Model X. They told me that one will be in the showroom within two weeks. There were quite a lot of exhibitions regarding EV's. There was also a...

Anyone missing a SAE J1772 Public charging adapter? I was at Kits Beach on Sunday January 3, 2016 and plugged my MS 70D at a public station and to my surprise the public charger fit my Tesla. I thought it was odd. When I unplugged it I realized someone let theirs on the charger. If anyone...

I am an EV fan living in St. John's NL. I'm visiting my family in Van for Christmas and was trying to think of something fun to do with my younger brother (he's ten, I'm 30). I was thinking a one-day Tesla rental for a road trip to Whistler and back could be fun. But are there any rental...

Short notice. Hope someone can help alleviate my concern. It has been YEARS since I've driven in Vancouver. I'm coming down from Kelowna tomorrow to take a Tesla for an overnight test drive. What the Tesla folks didn't mention is where I'd be leaving my car?? I figured it would be on "the...

Do any Vancouver Model S owners have intel for me? We are planning a road trip up to Vancouver this summer. While the SCs will take care of us coming up the I-5 corridor from California, we will be staying near Oakridge Mall in Vancouver. Plugshare and Tesla's website shoes 2 HPWCs there ...

for a total distance of about 2800km, following HWY 1 route which has all the necessary superchargers. The car lifelong average is 238 Wh/km, which is from Sept.2014 to today. Living and driving daily through an Edmonton winter. The other thing to report is that it is not necessary for 100%...

Nice of Tesla Motors to have taken photo of Model S from their web site, in Vancouver, Canada! Go Canucks! Model S | Tesla Motors

I attended the Vancouver International Auto Show last night. It was nice to see Tesla finally put up a booth and showing off the P85D. Unfortunately the X wasn't out, but I didn't expect it. Their booth was packed with lots of folks, and it seemed they barely had enough staff to handle them...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum. I just pulled the trigger and purchased the 2015 Telsa S 85D. It should arrive around mid March. I need to upgrade my house to have the 14-50 outlets. Can anyone recommend an installer around the Portland/Vancouver area? What price should I expect? I got...

Just wanted to let everyone know that the vancouver location has a P85D available for test rides/drives :)

Does anyone know of any fast chargers in the Vancouver area (specifically Richmond, Vancouver, West and North Vancouver, and Burnaby)? A dig through Plugshare comes up with a lot of 6 or 7 kW chargers, but only a very few 10+ kW chargers. The ones I've heard of are: Tesla Motors Service...

Is it normal for TM Stores to carry an inventory of parts like floor mats, touch up paint and so on, in the service centers? I plan to visit Powell St center soon, hoping I can just walk in and get the items I want. Anyone in Vancouver who wants to show off their Model S (or Roadster?), then...

I took a day trip from Bellevue to Vancouver BC in my MS-85 and it is remarkable how range-anxiety free it was. I have done this trip about 6 times in the past 18 months since I got my MS in Dec 2012. Prior to the Burlington Superchargers, I had to stay a night and do a bit of planning. I...

Just booked TMC Connect today and planning on driving from Vancouver, BC in a new 60. So open to carpool! Feel free to get in touch. rolosrevenge got shotgun if he wishes since he posted a thread about it months ago.

Not sure where to post this, but I see this guy is from Vancouver, so perhaps here? Mods move as appropriate. Any way, I came across a post in the BC owners forum about a brave guy making the Vancouver to Miami Trip, and he is leaving today! Good luck Scott! Follow him here where he will...

How did the Vancouver Rally go today guys? I really wish I could have joined you all but had another commitment. I saw Robins email and it sounds lime a success so i'm interested in hearing about it. I'll definitely be there for the Squamish supercharger rally next time!

I just put away my plans to wait until next year. Several demo fleet cars went up for sale and I gave in to temptation! Blue P85 - deposit paid, picking up within the next few days. Wheee!

Have any Vancouver owners had their Model S wrapped or windows tinted? If so, who did you use?

Also heard from a very good source that there will be 4 more Canadian Service Centres opening this year! Calgary is confirmed. My guess is Ottawa, Quebec City, and Burlington.

Hi All: Picked led up my Tesla SP last week in Vancouver. Came with the red callipers and spoiler. Took it for a test spin to Seattle the next day. No looking back. looking forward to meeting other owners. Hope you like the pics. Allan

I'm looking to spend a weekend in downtown Vancouver. Would like to park at (or very near) the hotel we stay in. I looked on plug-share and found a couple. Fairmont Pacific Rim - Sun Country CS90. Fairmont Waterfront - looks like 2 L2 J1772 (guessing 30 amp) Coast Hotel Coal Harbor - 120V...

Can someone recommend a good quality place to get Tesla windows tinted, in GVRD? I originally planned to get PhotoSync due to its good reviews, but the closest installer is in Seattle. I don't think I would want to drive down there, wait 6 hours, then come back... Someone mentioned N-motion...

I just found out today from my insurance agent that my annual premium on my MS85 will be around $3,400!!! My agent haven't even heard of Tesla, and had to call around before giving me that quote. He didn't even ask me whether it was a 60, 85, or Performance. Can anyone in BC Canada give me...

I got an email invitation from the new SC Product Speciallist to a thankyou event for owners, families and enthusiasts on Dec 1st at Park Royal. Sounds like a fun social event on our favourite subject. I think I'll check it out. Any other forum members get the invitation and plan to attend?

As many know, we don't usually get much winter snow in Vancouver. When we do, it can be crazy since we don't have as many snow plows as the rest of the country. But that is for about 1-2 weeks of the year. The rest of the winter is just cold and rainy. So I've been thinking of not getting...

I received an email yesterday from Tesla for a Vancouver test drive event, figured I'd pass it along for anyone interested. Saturday October 26 - Sunday October 27, 9am-5pm at The Fairmont Waterfront, 900 Canada Place, Vancouver. To book a test drive, use this link.

Hello all, welcome to the show! In about an hour we will leave our place in Abbotsford with 4 people on a trip to Disneyland! I've tried not to over plan the trip, but rather approach it like someone who doesn't have TOCD would approach the same situation. I have the latest software on the car...

I’ve been wanting to do this trip ever since I got my car back in February, but have been waiting for the Supercharger network to be built out some more. After the WA chargers debuted, I figured it was time, even though I knew it would be painful making it through northern California and Oregon...

Hey everyone. In a couple weeks my family and I are going to be driving from Vancouver to Disneyland in our 60. We figure we can get to Eugene OR the first night (Friday night) and then will need to charge up before hopefully getting to Medford. A few questions: 1. Anyone live in the area...
