Eastern Canada Superchargers

[wallstguy]

I don’t think that is relevant. Sales of Tesla vehicles will be the determining factor. Of course the sales may be a little lower.

It really is relevant, cancellation of the EV rebate means a significant decline in sales. The mass market car is suddenly $14k more. People who were expecting to pay ~$31k now are priced out at $45k. Or those with LR expecting to pay around $60k night he priced out at $74k.

Or people like me who were getting the 3 to replace ICE cars that don’t yet need to be replaced due to the incentive no longer buying it.

I myself, and every single individual I know who’s reserved the Model 3, just cancelled their reservation.


With all these cancellations, the current supercharger map is based on Tesla’s model 3 reservations in the regions. No more sales = possible cancellation of some of these superchargers

This is definitely a big disappointing moment for mass EV adoption in Ontario!

It’s a POTENTIAL loss of sales. Nothing is ever guaranteed.

There's nothing potential about it. Search the net you'll see the mass number of reported cancellations.

Unless you mean loss of potential sales, in which case you are correct, but the supercharger map/expansion was based on these potential sales which will no longer be going through.

Keeping my reservation. Rebate makes no difference. There isn't a compelling alternative. Look to pick up a standard range AWD 3 in a year or so, until then Tesla can keep my money in their bank.

If the reservation deposit means nothing in terms of priority, fine, but let's not pretend Tesla will have trouble selling every car they make.

Sorry for those that missed out on the rebate, but you had your chance to purchase three months ago, when Tesla prioritized Ontario customers to the tune of thousands of deliveries in a one month span.

Problem with people who missed it, some were waiting for AWD, some were waiting for SR.

As for Tesla not having a problem selling every car they make, sure you're right. But the fact that their sales will be less in Ontario specifically will still a halt to the supercharger expansion efforts in the area, especially Urban superchargers.

I in no way think this will impact Tesla negatively on a sales perspective at the overall company level, but it will impact Ontario drivers!

In 6 months time, the short range AWD Model 3 will be available and will be priced competitively with premium German gas car makers. I don't see a big deal, sure the rebate is gone, but with thousands of Tesla's in the local Toronto and GTA area, with Model 3's available for test drives, there will be plenty of purchasing in Ontario. Not everyone needs a rebate to justify the purchase of a car.

Sure, but the removal of the rebate will certainly negatively affect sales. This is basic economics.

Trois Rivières SC today.
Large amperage drop during early charge on stall 4B (103 to 40kW) for no clear reason. Changed to stall 3A, went back to 100 kW with normal tapering. Maybe warm temperature as cause ?

Sorry,

Was distracted by the kids while typing this. Meant RDL.

Apologies for the unintended drama !

I've been experiencing inconsistent charge rates at the Gaspé supercharger as well.

Start of construction worker holiday today in Quebec. The next new Supercharger work in Quebec can't start for at least another two weeks.

I would try to avoid the Drummondville on Friday and Sunday evenings until it gets expanded or another site pops up between Montreal and Quebec City.

The Canadian supercharger activity is kind of pathetic again this year. Lot of data shown, nothing being build AGAIN.

Ok, I'll bite. What's with the disclaimer in your sig? You hoping the NSA won't hold whatever it is against you?

Sometimes people are getting quoted by medias or blog or stuff from TMC so with this they hope that they won't be.

I added that to my sig in 2013, when TMC posts started being quoted out of context and without permission by FUD articles. Just left it there since.

Not expecting much change in SC activity until profitability - need to get cash positive or the shorts and buddies will just continue the FUD

That is why Tesla should be making some cash off the SC network, to provide separate funding to help to continue to expand the network.

They’ve made the offer, no ones taken them up on it yet.

Too much pride and hubris on the part of legacy automakers. Tesla just needs to make a Supercharger -> CHAdeMO / CCS adapter with all the smarts in it for billing to sell to other EV owners.
