South of the 440, about 1 km. If you google it, it will bring 2-3 kms north of 440. Also 2020 but just a restaurant ... Been there, done that ...
P.S. Just Finalize 5 minutes ago ... Can't wait...

A few photos from our big day here in BC, the first Model S (S02001) in western Canada goes home:

Wish I was on the ferry today, guess ill have to just keep an eye out for you driving trough North Saanich sometime.
agileone,
You mentioned you just finalized, so I'm assuming you aren't a Sig... What's your P number? Were you given an approximate delivery date? Thanks!

The paperwork was never sent in advance. Hans emailed me the final accounting literally while I was having coffee across the street from the bank. There was one correction I noted, that was agreed to while I hovered at the main BMO office in downtown Vancouver, and then I got a bank draft made. The BMO people were jazzed, the teller knew all about the car, and the officer who signed the draft came over to meet me and said her significant other was "obsessed with that car." I promised to email her pictures!
@Shorty, are you picking up today, Friday, or can you join us for the Sun Country Highway Tour event in Victoria?

So how do the Lloyd rubbertite mats fit? Do they cover a large enough surface? Do you think the will do the trick to keep the floors dry with our winters? I am about to order the, so would love some feedback. Thanks
I put the Lloyd's rubbertite mats in my dad's car about a week ago and the fit is excellent. The only issue you might have with them is that they do not have any kind of lip around the edges so large amount of water could, potentially, run off. There are, however, lots of little dimples (one can see them in the pictures on the Lloyd's website). They cover the entire flat area in the foot well and, on the passenger side (front) they go up underneath the dash all the way. The story is the same in the rear. It covers the whole floor area and extent a small amount under each front seat.
While I don't live in Canada. I'm pretty familiar with constant rain having lived in Oregon my whole life. I think these mats are going to work quite well.

Went to the Laval Service Center today. Met with the Tesla crew. They were all waiting for the paperwork to come in before 1pm (for the first customer)
zhino, i counted 14 cars (9 inside) and 5 outside. they said they are doing 23 deliveries Friday, Saturday and Sunday. TO 60 and BC 90, which seems high
I see Martin Bouchard in the list on your picture. I believe this is the Martin Bouchard from Cap-Rouge that has a Roadster. if you are listening Martin, we use to play together... 28 years ago. Congrats for your car.

If they are doing 4 people at a time, 3 times a day for 4 days then that makes the maximum number of cars delivered 48!
Well, I took the plates off my old car last night and am all queued up for a 4PM pickup. Given that the Mayan's appear to have been incorrect about the end of the world, I should indeed have the car by end of day. There was an issue with my paperwork that resulted in them having to reissue -- basically in BC the rebate is BEFORE HST, but the first paperwork didn't have it that way. So the car got cheaper in the last 24 hours! I'm glad I waited to get it 
Like Vjer I won't have any winter tires and also no front license plate holder -- that will allow me to unleash my inner rebel-single-plated Albertan for at least a few days...
@Vjer - congrats on the car. It looks alot like mine will! I'll come by for a visit in Jan.
@Zapped -- bummer for sure. I'm an Edmonton lad originally as well, we'll have to swap stories sometime.
Its going to be very difficult to get much work done here the rest of today...
Update -- I was reflecting on the Model S journey we've all been on, the first phase of which is soon to end for me. I've been "wanting" this thing for several years now, travelled around to see it, spent hours on the forums, know more about panel gaps than I ever wanted to, and become a mini-expert in 220 plugins. Here's hoping Mr. Spock's wise words from Amok Time will not apply: "After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."

znino, I assume that you are either enjoying your new car too much to update us or they are still working out the paperwork snafu.
still waiting with bated breath for news of the first Quebec delivery ... any crumbs are appreciated.

I am indeed enjoying. I did post some pictures in another post. Ill write more details about the whole experience before bed tonight.

@ElectricFarmBoy : I think Mr.Spock's words are very true 99% of the time. "Wanting" is a strong "human" trait .....and I haven't given up.:smile:
Anyways, it's probably too late to ask, but could you; would you; have happened to have a quick look for VIN 2093, Red, grey wheels ??? No email response to confirm if mine arrived from Hans, who is obviously and clearly very busy.
Hope all went well with your Vancouver delivery today. If I don't hear from you for a couple of days I completely understand.:wink:
