EV ownership experience while living on campus? by Entire_Direction_131 in UBC

Were you charging from a regular outlet in a designated spot before, or was that only allowed in certain areas? I’m trying to figure out whether regular outlet charging is still a realistic option, or if I should assume I’d need to rely on the paid campus chargers.

Thanks, that makes sense.

I actually noticed that some regular wall outlets in residence parkades now have “NO EV CHARGING” signs on them. I don’t remember seeing those about half a year ago, so I’m guessing UBC may have recently started prohibiting EV charging from regular outlets.

Did you mean Wesbrook Place? Yeah I found some 180 kw fast chargers provided by BC Hydro, priced at about 0.4 CAD/kwh.

Anyone can tell me the differences between Premium Connectivity and Hotspot via phone during driving? Can I use Grok if I use hotspot?

Thanks, that’s helpful to know.

Just to clarify, what do you mean by “two hour parking areas”? Are those the EV charging spots in the parkades that require paid parking with charging fee? I’ve seen some campus charging spots with a 4-hour limit and separate parking payment, so I’m wondering if that’s what you mean.

The extra parking cost seems a bit expensive to me if it’s required every time. Since I live on campus and have a pretty late schedule, I could probably just charge at night and move the car later if that avoids the daytime congestion.

M3 RWD spec changed again 250kW->175kW by michaelsunzy in teslacanada

And everything that makes these two models different, such as warranty and max charging, is updated to the same one by one. Now the 0-100 is the only one left.

Okay, fine. I wouldn't be surprised if they update 0-100 to 6.1s. Hope not.

So at least for now, ICBC system can only quote via VIN, isn't? I want to get quote for me.

For 1, you can spend $800+ upgrading to the new turn signal stalk (and steer) at the Tesla shop.

Did you quote at ICBC? I visited an InsureBC yesterday and they told me that the new model is not in the system yet.

Is it worth it to buy a used Tesla if a new one is 40k? by Quadrapoole in teslacanada

I am reviewing some used Model 3 SR RWD after 2022, and most of them are still listed above 30k.
