Congrats and welcome! So you must have got the federal incentive then, right?

I too am excited for Autopilot. I ordered a P3D+ on the 22nd. The wait for a VIN is killing me.
My wall connector is going to have power today, hopefully I'll have the car in the next few weeks.
I got white with black interior. I am taking the FSD gamble so we'll see how that goes.

AP and Nav on Autopilot really make my day on Henday. I look forward to the drive from home (near Henday just west of Calgary Trail) to work (Yellowhead near 97th). Some days the car suggests westbound, some days eastbound, depending on traffic conditions. Nav on Autopilot even gets in the correct lane and automatically takes the off ramp from Henday to Yellowhead and vice versa. Only when its really slippery (2 or 3 days last winter) did I want to turn off AP during the drive, and only then because I could feel the back end slip out just a bit during accelleration (which it corrected soon enough) due to AP speeding up too fast for the icy conditions.

disagree; there isn't anything magic about AWD unless you want to out accelerate everyone from a stop on icy/snowy roads; if you get an excellent set of winter tires after you are moving it makes no difference how many wheels are driving your car. Sure all the auto makers advertise "Advanced AWD" and "suretrac" and what ever key phrases they come up with; all fluff.

That's quite the change! I did this several times when ordering my first (and second) Tesla! Grey with white was my first choice... I downloaded many pics from the interweb of that colour combo. Ultimately ended up with white on white mostly my wife's choice. I like it but still like the darker colours with white interior too.

It does make a difference when parking on steeper hills in winter but that's about it.

Merry Christmas, and happy new year, Albertan Tesla folks! I'm seeing so many Teslas out and about these days, but they're never using the plugs I need. It's great! 
Just wanted to mention three things:
Just wanted to mention three things:
- Did anybody notice that the TCH is fully Superchargered? So exciting! According to my car, Winnipeg in 17h, Toronto in 40-something.
- Red Deer has a new 8-stall v3 Supercharger on Leva Ave. Much easier to get to, and presumably the parking lot is better paved. Also, $0.01 less per minute than the old one.
- How many of you know about Tesla's mud flaps aka paint protection kit for Model 3? It's available free of charge in climates such as ours where sand and salt is used aggressively on the roads. I acquired a kit from Calgary the week before Christmas and installed it over the Christmas break. I told one of my coworkers about it, but they were out by the time he called just a couple days later. More kits will be available in early January, though, I hear. I detailed my experience installing the kit here: Tesla Mud Flaps / Paint Protection Kit
The Yellowhead from Edmonton to Winnipeg is now "Coming Soon" on the map, maybe for this time next year? Also a Calgary Supercharger is listed as "Coming Soon".

Anyone having issues with "TPMS failed"" error message when switching to winter tires after version 10 was installed on 08/2014 and older Model S, let me know. I found a solution.
TPMS reset on V10

Picking up my model 3 tomorrow, excited but also slightly irritated. I have a set of winter tires already mounted on rims needing to go on, is it too much to ask that while prepping the car for delivery (installing the mudflaps, detailing etc) that they just throw them on at the same time? Everyone I've talked to said they simply can't do it until after delivery while also charging $90+ to do it. Buying previous cars from Toyota and Infiniti, they both had no problem throwing on the tires free of charge and even storing the summers for free one season.
I saw your post on RFD; you sure can ask the Calgary Store to mount the rims for you. The staff I've dealt with in the Calgary store are very friendly and do their best to accommodate customers. Oh, and due to the extreme cold snap, energy consumption will be much higher so do charge as much as possible before embarking long journeys. Welcome to the club.
