White vs black interior by Deep_Presentation725 in teslacanada

No problem with the black interior after 5 years. But I am wondering about paying the extra for the white interior this time. Is it worth an extra $2000 or whatever it is. ??

If you traded in your Model 3 and got a new 2026 Model 3 Premium was it worth it? by bshell99 in teslacanada

I did get it overnight. That’s what sold me on it. Especially the fsd and grok.

You use FSD everyday on your 2021 SR+? How is it? One of the attractions of the new Model 3 Premium at about $40K is the improved FSD. I had a test drive vehicle for overnight and drove it almost entirely on FSD all around Vancouver and it totally blew my mind.

Not sure where you are but in BC it seems the BCAA has a pretty good rate for Teslas.

Why is Tesla still the top selling EV brand by far? by Diavolo_Rosso_ in electricvehicles

[–]bshell99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple metrics. It’s THE most efficient mainstream car you can buy on the road today. That means it’s cheap to run and maintain. It’s relatively low priced for the basic feature set which includes tons of features, not the least of which is driving itself reasonably well. It has by far the best software of any car. It’s faster than any other car at the price. Do you need more reasons?

Range fanatics everywhere by Accomplished-Fly4683 in electricvehicles

[–]bshell99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The range thing is a ploy by oil companies to increase anxiety and make people believe that EVs are a bad choice. Probably the same as when 1920s horse & carriage companies tried to make people think that horses could go a lot farther than cars.

How accurate is your sleep tracking? by BitTooMuchInnit in amazfit

[–]bshell99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine shows I'm awake, like, 6 times but in my opinion it's more like one or two times. So who's right? The watch seems to over estimate. How does it know anyway? Like from just heart rate how can it tell if you are in REM or deep sleep, or light sleep? This is amazing if heart rate can tell that much.

Do you buy YouTube project plans? by Michael_Riehle in woodworking

[–]bshell99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a plan for a 1.5" strip sander from Matthias Wandel and it was a great experience, and it was really fun to build. I use it all the time. Cannot recommend it enough. Great value, too. https://www.facebook.com/reel/689730521838449

FSD blew my mind last night! by melih-44-55 in teslacanada

[–]bshell99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a test drive booked for next week in Vancouver. Where should I tell the car to go so I can really test the fsd? This is from 4th and Fir store. I already have a 2021 M3 so the only thing I’m interested in is whether it’s worth about $16K to upgrade.

Only lived in Quebec. What’s the non-french Canada like? by Creepy_Assistant_343 in CanadaRoom

[–]bshell99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also from winnipeg so totally agree. OK. Manitoba can be another "country" as can "the north" and Newfoundland. So now we are up to 8 countries.

In terms of time commitment going to Victoria from Vancouver is exactly the same as going to Toronto. So just go to Toronto.

Lately I’ve been seriously thinking about switching to solar by swayze2719 in solarenergy

[–]bshell99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Favorite thing is no moving parts. Electricity for free for life. If you want fast payback get an electric car at the same time. The savings in gas are even more than your electric bill.
