Just had a terrific HPWC installation process!
Big thumbs up to: Power It Up Electric (contact) for a great price and being very professional. I get my car in 2 days, but it seems to be 100% and very tidy (they will be arranging city inspection).
First, the chronology:
Tough crawl space! Joey could have cheated and ran the cable to an easier spot in the crawlspace, and running cable along outside the house, but he said "yeah, but I wanted it to look clean and simple outside - thanks Joey.

Big thumbs up to: Power It Up Electric (contact) for a great price and being very professional. I get my car in 2 days, but it seems to be 100% and very tidy (they will be arranging city inspection).
First, the chronology:
- June 12: Joey of Power It Up! Electric came on site and gave a me a quote of $750 to install a 24' HPWC including permit, site inspection, and all hardware not provided by Tesla. I also had Dave Watson quote (another Tesla recommended installer), and I liked him, but the quote was $1,581 - more than twice as much.
- Sept. 7: Received delivery date of Sept. 22 (only 15 days before delivery!)
- Sept. 10: Booked Power It Up Electric to come today, Sept. 19 (currently they need about 10 days lead time)
- Sept. 19: Joey of Power It Up! Electric did the install himself. The building manager asked that the cable go under the 150-year-old house, so the installation included being on his back in a 24" crawl space! (pictured). Installation took about 3 hours.
- Ready to go! Pick up car in two days!!

Hey, after further inspection looks like Derand did use 2 pieces on my rear window. They told me they would use one piece. I was in the back seat cleaning yesterday and noticed the line but you cannot notice it unless you’re right up in front of it.
I went with Derand because of price/location/product. They have also done work on a number of Model 3s. My second choice would’ve been GoldWing eventhough they are a little pricier. Elegance was impossible to get ahold of. I finally got ahold of them and was told they’d call me back. They never did. I just moved back from Toronto. Hey have tons of places out there at really good prices so if you’re down there you’d have a lot of places to choose from.

On the way home from International Centre pickup yesterday, stopped to take a picture of my new AWD with a few wind generators near Kirby. Coincidentally an ultralight saw me standing in the middle of the country road and flew over waving! A new Model 3 fan..?

Check Luxus Detailing on Youville Drive in Orleans. Did my X and my wife’s 3. Great work at a good price.Hi group, got mine last Monday, I'm in Gatineau.
Congrats! Getting my Xpel wrap done at Derand. Just doing the full front end. $1200. They've done quite a few Mod3s.Hi group, got mine last Monday, I'm in Gatineau.
Booked my Winter Tire install for end of October with Costco(Gloucester), they said they can lift Teslas. Anyone have experience with them changing tires on your Tesla?
Hi group, got mine last Monday, I'm in Gatineau.
Check out Waxed Detailing in Gatineau. He’s done a ton of Model 3s, mine included, and is amazing! Did both Xpel and Cquartz. Highly recommend. Feel free to PM if you need more details.
Did you ask them any more than that? I am sure anyone can lift a Tesla, it's whether they do it right and don't damage the underside/battery. I believe lifting a 3 is also different from lifting an S or an X.
I'm going to check out CostCo but I'll be making sure they actually know how to lift a Tesla Model 3, I'll probably even print the relevant bit of the manual.
Asked them again yesterday, they said they could but it didn't seem like they were quite sure which probably means they wont be able to, Ill have to go with KalTire or Ottawa Tires/Rims.
I bought a Set of 4 Tesla Model 3 chassis specific jack pad tools from reverse logic in US. That will ensure that wherever I go the car will be lifted in the safest way.
Where is everyone getting their winter tires? (with specs) I read a few forums and most of them are in the GTA.
Few options:
1) drive to montreal and get the tires/wheels (swap) at dealer
2) go to GTA and get the deal
Best Deal I have found for winter tires
3) go-tire seems to do ottawa...? Go tire packages
4) costco. i talked to a guy there and by the sounds of it, he highly recommends run-flat tires. opposes non-run-flats because of no spare. opinions?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi @XPrecision,
I ended up with Goldwing Autocare (Colonnade Rd N). They're not the cheapest but seem to know what they're talking about in terms of Tesla vehicles + winter tires. I went with Replika R187 18", Nokian R3 + TPMS.
Hope this helps
