Tesla Owners in Alberta

[SMSMD]

Received my invite today and will try and make it. Although more happy fornthe SC opening so I can get my car in ASAP as I now have a clicking sound coming from the front end after getting my new wheels put on

Any idea when they will start accepting for services. I'm lost on this

No idea, I thought they would have emailed me as I let the Vancouver centre know I needed my annual service and thought they said they would reach out to me when they knew when the Calgary SC would open. Maybe they will be sitting around eating the party left overs for a while?

Hilarious..if you have not yet seen.

Anyone have a guest slot available?

Hey guys - those of you with a Model X - are your falcon doors rubbing through the paint as well?

Yup. It's a common problem. I only have it on one side, but I just put some paint protection film and I'm ok with it.

I haven't seen any signs of that yet, although I've only used mine for a week.

I have AP1 and have not received any updates lately. I am on version 17.11.10.
I am seeing US tesla owners have been reporting updates regularly. The latest version being 17. 26.17. Anyone of you have got any updates .Is this only made available to the US customers?

AP1 17.26.17 Autopilot improvements

 

[SMSMD]

Got software update version 17.26.17 yesterday for my AP1.

 

[Dax279]

I am set to get my update tonight.

I had an unfortunate circumstance come up with my car over the weekend, which required my car to go in for service. However, the timing could not have been better for me as the service centre in Calgary is now just barely open and I was able to get my car towed in to the service centre.

Given that the Calgary service centre is still not fully functional I was very surprised to learn that they diagnosed my issue, had the parts in to complete the repairs and had all work completed in one day.

I must say, I was really impressed by the level of service and how my issues were resolved. Truly cannot say enough about David and his team in Calgary.

Overall, I think we are very fortunate here in Calgary and am looking forward to many more years enjoying the Tesla experience. I'm also looking forward to booking my annual service when the centre is fully up and running.

Ever wanted to try your Tesla on an Autocross course? Perhaps do some real launches on a closed course? Now's your chance!

The Tesla Owners Club of Alberta is invited to bring their electric rockets to the Fort MacLeod Airport this weekend (July 22/23) to participate in the Autocross events hosted by the Lethbridge Sports Car Club (LSCC) on Saturday and the Southern Alberta Solosport Club (SASC) on Sunday.

You can use the new Fort MacLeod Tesla Supercharger to juice up before and between sessions as it is minutes away from the airstrip. A great opportunity to try your car on a safe track environment and maybe show the petrol-heads what electric cars can do!

Register for Saturday here: LSCC Event #2

Register for Sunday here: Southern Alberta Solosport Club

It's a good idea to bring a helmet if you have one but if not, they will have some loaner helmets you can use.

Would there be any interest in having a Model 3 reveal party next Friday night as those Easterners are also doing? A little late notice, but perhaps someone has an office/home and would be willing to entertain a party for those interested?

 

[int32_t]

If you like, I can check on Monday if it's okay to bring a bunch of Tesla owners/enthusiasts through the office (in Cochrane). As a plus, we have a giant 4K display in one of the meeting rooms.

We could also ask to host at the Service Centre in the lounge if interested? We spoke of doing that but a few of us are out of town that day but it could be a possibility (and fun!). Let me know if people would be interested in that or a private venue?

What was the issue with your car ?

 

[Zapped]

Don't wait put a small piece of paint protection film where the rubber meets the paint. Unless your X is white, it doesn't look good and could wear down to metal.

What was the issue with your car ?

A suspension link on the front had an issue. Replaced under warranty.

If Tesla can host in their lounge, I'm leaving my wallet at home! Either way... I'd be down for a private venue. @int32_t has a great offer.
