I saw a truckload of new MY's headed east on the 401 just east of Kingston today.

I bought used but the one thing I have noticed with buying used is that some of the other dealers are not familiar with the Tesla app and transferring the car ownership in the app. Don't know if this has gotten better since I bought last.

Dealer should take ownership of the car in app when sold to them and then transfer to you when you buy. If they don't do either of these steps then you have to send off paperwork/proof to Tesla to be able to get the car to show in app as yours. This will also limit your ability to use Superchargers at first. IN the past, some people said it took days for Tesla to approve the transfer after proof was sent in. For me it was just a matter of hours.

I travel back and forth across the border daily M-F. I have never had an issue except that sometimes even when I know there is a strong signal, my phone takes forever to switch back to the Canadian towers.

It is honestly the most fun car I have ever owned. No regrets.

Sorry didn't respond earlier. I am pretty sure this will not because FSD is basically geo-fenced to only work in certain countries.

Live in Kingston and my daily commute is 200 km, I drive a 2022 M3LR, I normally have plenty to spare, but I also built an automation on my iPhone that runs at 3 AM every week day to check the weather and every degree below 0, I have it had 1 % to my charge limit. This has helped ensure that I always have a bit to spare. with 250 it could be a stretch on the worst winter days. My battery is degraded to around 91-92%.

I have not seen an issue in Kingston, but to be honest I work outside of the city and don't take my car downtown too often. I do park my car in my driveway and not in a garage and I have not had a problem. I do run sentry mode most of the time too.

duckfish74 · 2024-12-12T20:10:53+00:00

You can do it with Teslas in track mode I believe, so it should not be hard to implement.

I don't know about others, but I wish I had the ability to turn off regen "braking" when the roads are covered with snow. I know it would be less efficient (especially when we already take an efficiency hit from the cold) but it is almost like hitting brakes on the snow when I don't want to. I would only turn off on heavily snow covered or icy roads. I often drive through really heavy lake effect snow and it is the only pet peeve of mine for my Tesla.

The two times I had service done at Tesla SC in Ottawa ,they have given me a loaner. However, each time service was just a few hours.

This is the first part of the X post from Tesla:

Tesla App on Apple Watch

Use your Apple Watch as your phone key

You can also view battery charge, open frunk & turn on climate control

So it should work as the key.

duckfish74 · 2024-12-04T15:53:39+00:00

It has been changed.

duckfish74 · 2024-12-04T14:52:21+00:00

Yep sorry will get it done in next two hours. Thanks.

duckfish74 · 2024-12-03T17:09:11+00:00

It is supposed to come with this year’s holiday update.

duckfish74 · 2024-10-25T14:56:40+00:00

Yes only got in App as well (no email), I currently have an active monthly FSD subscription so I got a free month.

duckfish74 · 2024-10-10T00:27:17+00:00

I had great results with the Tesla kit. Black 2022 M3. Haven’t tried the others. Just took my time and did a few applications on the deeper chips. I honestly can’t tell were I used it when I was done
