Canada Waiting Room

[arbitrage000]

Wait seriously?? Are they pre-installed or did they install themselves? I literally just bought the rear-door PPF and the mud flaps...

All Canadian cars get front flaps and that small triangle of PPF ahead of the rear wheel.

I will give a word of advice… I decided to only do rocker panel PPF which comes up to ~where that triangle is (was). I ceramic coated the entire car. If I was to do things over again I would do PPF on the front bumper, full hood and mirrors. 9 month in and all my chips are on bumper and hood. Chips on DBM paint go down to white and are ugly. I’ll probably touch them up and get PPF on those areas and re-ceramic over it soon. I have a number of front chips and I live in Victoria with no real winter.

i'm curious if the text messaging number is the same for all Tesla customers .. I just text the number that contacted me for my rebate information.

I think all their text numbers are connected to a messaging system and that system was down. They sent me a message last week and it showing as a “undelivered” in their system.

OD May 14, Current EDD July 26-Aug 6.

Just stopped by the new service centre in Langford, the SA told me that my car is still on the MM.. also told me that their text message service was down and that’s why they didn’t response my text last week. It seems like I should be able to get my car soon if the MM is here already.

Yeah, she rolls into Vancouver tonight, so fingers crossed for a quick Customs clearance and that she gets unloaded before the end of the week.
If I were you, I would consider picking up the car in Richmond so you can get it sooner, lmao

As someone who's joining Team Blue, that's good to know. I'm planning to PPF the entire front end, so that should help.

Would you recommend getting mud flaps for the rear as well?

I literally pickup the Tesla and then drop it off for PPF (front bumper, hood, mirrors, headlights). I don't see much point in rear mud flaps unless you want to protect the cars behind you.

How long did it take for your PPF installation? It'll be so hard to get the car and immediately drop it off

Do you have a choice of where you can pick it up?

I was thinking of the rear bumper, but any potential damage would be limited, I guess.
And I don't think I'll be taking the car immediately for PPF after pickup on the same day, but definitely within a day or two of taking possession, for sure.

The shop I am going with said they would need it for a day (morning drop off, afternoon pick up)

idk, but for someone that lives on Van Island, it would be worth asking if they can pick up in Richmond, lol.

Although if Richmond is busy, then it may end up being the same amount of waiting time anyway I guess.

From watching the Vancouver port, I've noticed that Seaspan sends RoRo ships quite often between Vancouver Island and the mainland. I assume those ships would just be carrying trucks/trailers with cargo for cities and towns on the Island.

Install themselves!

 

[RedGing12]

I wish. The guy who quoted me said it takes 3-4 days. That's with full paint correction + decontamination (which should be minimal for a new car), ceramic coating on the whole car, and front PPF (bumper, hood, fenders and mirrors).

@Bob123 my accounts page updated today with a new EDD: July 28 - Aug 11.

Looks like your right my car is landlocked now!

Congrats!!

Yeah I don't love giving it up right away but this also makes the window for any nicks to be almost zero.

They'll need it for at least a day.

Yes they all use the same text number.

I've chatted with Michigan and Ontario SA on it. It's a California number being a 510 area code.

How much did it cost for the PPF application?

 

[sw0op]

there's a new call order for MM!

looks like its set to unload in Richmond Thursday morning!!! *knock on wood*

 

[goodvibes121]

there's a new call order for MM!

looks like its set to unload in Richmond Thursday night!!! *knock on wood*

Does that mean, it'll clear customs after that or would the customs be already cleared by then?

It looks the schedule got pushed. It was supposed to arrive earlier tomorrow morning and got pushed by a day. But at least that is something concrete! We now know they expect the vessel to be unloaded by Thursday

 

[Bounderwarer]

Does Tesla schedule delivery date on the weekend? Or weekdays only? Thanks

it was supposed to go through another port tomorrow morning but that one wasnt the car unload port (customs??)...so this is still technically on time

 

[Sarah8]

My EDD changed today from Aug 11 - 20 to now July 28-July 11- does that mean my MYP was not on MM?

 

[badgamer.yyz]

I think based on the schedule they are going to Roberts Bank/Constance Bank Anchorage to do customs process. Once that is completed it will head towards Sandheads which is just outside of Fraser River, then goes into Fraser Wharves. This can be earlier or later depends on how fast customs processes the ship.

This is getting exciting!
