Southern Ontario Tesla Owner's Club

Ah, okay, misunderstood that requirement. So I can't get the wiring for my plug paid for, but I could upgrade to a wall connector and get 1/2 back.

Stupid question - and the wrong forum - but from reading this it looks like i need to have already received a rebate for an EV in order to claim this one as well. If that's the case, then as a CPO purchaser I cannot claim a charger rebate, correct?

Thanks!

I don't know if this is different for CPO as it may depend on whether the previous owner got a rebate but in my situation there was a FU with my EV rebate and it took 6 months. I submitted my charger rebate half way through these six months and it didn't go through until I got the EV rebate - but once that happened it went through very quickly. So they can be going in parallel.

I believe that is true. You are supposed to have received the EV rebate (which only applies to new cars) first before applying for the EVSE rebate from what I recall.

FYI
I just started a new post about an upcoming presentation on Tesla Powerwall at the Electro-Federation Canada Future forum. Wednesday November 4 at Pearson Convention Centre in Mississauga. The title of the presentation is: Transforming the Grid with Energy Storage and Tesla. Details can be found here: Powerwall presentation at Electro-Federation Canada November 4

I will try to get a copy of the presentation for the next Southern Ontario meeting:biggrin:

It is intended for EFC members, but guests may also come. There is a fee to attend

Hello everyone,
It's that time again so I have now booked our next meeting for this Thursday November 26[SUP]th [/SUP]
Please RSVP to help me with planning.
The location is the same as the last one, Fortino’s in Maple.
The actual address is 2911 Major Mackenzie Drive in Vaughan (just east of Jane St.)
The room will be open at 6:30 and Pizza and beverages will be available then.
The meeting will be 7:00 to 9:00 and the room will be available until 9:30.
Please let me know if you have any topics you would like to discuss.

I now have official confirmation of Tesla’s involvement with Owner’s Clubs, so that will be on the agenda.

Sorry, can't make this one John. Thanks as usual for organizing these events. Hopefully for the next one someone have an X to show.

 

[mknox]

Can't make this one either. Conflict with a Plug 'n Drive event downtown at MaRS, a work "Christmas" dinner and (groan) a dentist appointment.

John...please add to the agenda...

GHEVA has sent a letter with respect to continuing the HOV lanes for green plated vehicles to various government folks.

We can bring a copy of the letter to the meeting for perusal...GHEVA is open to other EV clubs / organizations using the letter / contents thereof to send their supportive thoughts to the provincial decision makers...I think we the members of the SOTOC should consider this in support of GHEVA.

Is this meeting open to those who have placed orders but not yet received their vehicles? Not 100% sure I can attend but if it works for the group and on the home front I would like to check things out.

 

[Jgdixon]

Yes you are welcome as someone with a reservation.
Please email me at [email protected] with your name and contact info as well as your car details.

As you suggested in the Alberta thread, I've voted. You also indicated you were open to suggestions... so I'll say that my vote was based on the ability to easily modify the web domain to allow local Canadian clubs to host their own sites on the domain - not just as pages on the main site.

With that in mind, I voted for 'teslaownersclub.ca' because possible domains such as 'toronto.teslaownersclub.ca' or 'bc.teslaownersclub.ca' just roll off the tongue.

Doing it this way could allow all the local clubs to be hosted on the same server (same website), or on other servers... at the discretion of the group controlling the DNS records. Setting it up as 'teslaownersclub.ca/montreal' for instance, makes it more difficult to move the Montreal site to another server and allow the Montreal group to do their own site development and administration. Or stated another way, keeping it central means SOMEBODY will be doing a pile of administration work keeping everything in order, setting up administration accounts, fixing broken stuff... etc.

There are good reasons to go either way, but I thought it was an idea worth considering.

 

[Duckjybe]

I think the Tesla Owners Club url should include the word "club" to distinguish it from the group of all Tesla owners who may or may not have the inclination to be involved in and support a club.

 

[Jgdixon]

Thanks for the input guys.

 

[Jgdixon]

Great turn out for our meeting tonight.
We also took a vote in person for those who hadn't voted online.
The consensus is the same as the poll teslaownersclub.ca is the winner.

 

[SmartElectric]

It was tough to hold on to the ceiling for the shot, but we managed it.
OH wait, we didn't all sit upside down? ;-)

Thanks again for organizing everything John, good times.

 

[rapoport3a]

This is the point at which John turned the meeting upside-down.

 

[Biker]

Looks like the Australian Tesla Owners Club.

 

[Jgdixon]

I don't get it, are you saying the photo is upside down?

 

[SmartElectric]

Indeed. Upside down on my laptop, and checked now in tapatalk and it's inverted on Android.
