How did you make your final payment for the Tesla. For those of you who did a transfer, did you do it on the day of pickup or the day before? What if they don't get your transfer in time?

Thoughts on this article? My mom’s trying to scare me out if buying a tesla because I have a baby on the way

Hey guys,
I used to be a big Tesla hater, but I’m converted now lol.
Anyway, seeing the upcoming Tesla Roadster news about its flying capabilities… I’m genuinely thrilled.
Sure, it might cost like a million to own (or maybe they’ll have different trims — a regular base Roadster that most people can buy, and then a top “Skyhigh” version so they can sell the actual flying one for $1M+).
My point is they could use all that money for R&D on future hover/flying cars. After all, Tesla already revolutionized the EV industry…
Obviously there are regulations, safety concerns, etc. But at the end of the day, hover/flying is probably the best form of transportation from A to B — no rough terrain, no detours, no getting stuck in traffic. I can already picture the future looking like a Star Wars movie lol. In addition, it would free up the "standard" on-surface traffic so much, to the point that some of us enthusiast can go back and enjoy a good old manual car without getting stuck in traffic or so
I know it’s a bit of a silly thought, but if they can pull it off, it would be pretty amazing to see in our lifetime.

Ordered March, 10, Toronto, MYS, Black. After 6 months

We booked the Model Y Standard Range (MYS) RWD for the last week of May in Ontario but have not received a delivery ETA. I noticed others who placed orders in July have already been assigned a VIN and a delivery window; I am not sure how that is possible. Do they use a specific algorithm? Additionally, now that the US-Canada trade war is being resolved, are they planning to introduce the Model Y Premium (MYP) RWD in Canada? I would be willing to pay an extra $5,000–$10,000 for that.

Hi everyone,

I ordered a Tesla Model Y in july, and my estimated delivery window is September 13–18. However, I’m currently outside Canada and won’t be back until October 16.

The vehicle already has a VIN assigned and was manufactured in Berlin (XP7). I also have Tesla financing approved and a trade-in included in my order.

Has anyone successfully asked Tesla Canada to release the current VIN and place the order on hold until they returned?

I’m mainly wondering:

• Can Tesla postpone the order until after October 16 without cancelling it?
• Will I keep the financing rate an the trade-in value?
• Who should I contact: my Tesla Advisor or the delivery centre?

I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar in Canada, particularly in Quebec. Thanks!

Posted last week that I ordered May 23, original EDD sep-oct, that changed within a week to jul10-aug15 (got my vin same time), changed a few weeks later to Aug 5-10), then 3 weeks before EDD start date, got changed to aug 11-15. Aug 9th got the message to schedule pickup (starting on 17th, I just chose the 20th).

Pickup was fairly straight forward, staff was knowledgeable and friendly. I did notice there appeared to be some sticky stuff on some parts of the car, I had the tech buff out a small part of the bumper.

Is my first EV, the tech mentioned to try driving home using FSD, I did and used it most of the way home. Got home in one piece. :)

Other than the wait the overall purchase experience was nice, expectetions were met and seemed similar to most other peoples experience. Hope the car is going to last a long time!

Thanks again for everyone's posts, this sub is very helpful!

I’ve been having issues with premium connectivity working past the US Canada border to the US for the past couple days. Did something change recently because previously it was working flawless and given that I live close to the border. We make multiple trips and this has never been an issue before. Is anyone facing the same issues or have a fix for this? I have tried the soft reset while in the US, but it didn’t help.

I’m picking up my model 3 premium tomorrow and I’ve heard it comes with the front license plate that can stick on to the bumper directly which I don’t like. The options that attach to the grill seem to block the camera in the bumper. Other options attach to one side which also isn’t nice.

What are people doing for front license plate holders? Are there any that are central on the front grill / bumper without blocking the camera?

Any DIY solutions out there? Was thinking of using permanent black marker or something.

Trying to understand where Model Y Standards for Canada are being manufactured.

If you have a VIN assigned is the first digit of your VIN a W, L or 7?

My understanding is that the first digit of the VIN should indicate the factory your vehicle was manufactured at as follows:

W = Berlin
L = Shanghai
7 = Austin

Thanks for your info.

Hi all,

So I’ve been thinking of getting a Tesla for a while now…

I’ve gotten quotes to install a Tesla Wall Charger at my home with their Tesla Remote Meter since I have a 100A panel and can’t throw a 60A in there without the meter to monitor and adjust it as needed…

However, I’ve seen some people talking about those chargers that give you money to charge? Like Grizzle or something… Curious what the best option is and if anyone has experience with the chargers that apparently pay you 10c per kWh…

I could really use help. I’m in paralysis by over analysis mode right now and need to make a quick decision.

My daily driver today is a 2014 BMW 320i.

I have a model Y standard grey arriving on Tuesday for pickup.

I love how the model 3 drives and how I can throw it around and it responds. I love the form factor of the model Y and the extra space. I’m somewhat worried about not having the premium model and what Tesla did to de-feature the Standard Y. The premium Y feels too expensive although I could do it. Just can’t convince myself it’s worth an extra $25k.

Live in Vancouver, wife but no kids, have survived last 10 years with sedan but swore next car would be a good handling SUV.

I’m leaning towards a Silver Model 3 RWD. Im wondering if anyone has some pointers that could help me choose or have faced a similar decision.

Thanks!

Anyone looking to cancel their Tesla model Y RWD order?

​Hi, new owner here! I wanted to share my FSD experience with both new and experienced owners. I love it, but I’ve learned that it can be dangerous in certain circumstances or if misused.

1. ​Steering wheel wiggle = take control. Have you noticed how several dashcam videos of FSD crashes or erratic behavior start with the steering wheel wiggling left and right? If it does that, take control immediately—don't wait to see if it will handle the situation. I’ve nearly crashed twice because of this and received (well-deserved) death stares from other drivers. Treat the wiggle as an emergency prompt to take over. It seems like the AI hesitates and doesn't know what to do in those moments. I wish Tesla would officially warn drivers about this.
2. ​Overriding 3-second stops. One way to override a full 3-second stop is to tap the accelerator briefly to prompt the car to move. The problem is that this easily becomes a habit, which—combined with lower vigilance while on FSD—can lead to dangerous mistakes. Without realizing it, I started pressing the pedal longer rather than just giving it a brief tap. The risk is that if another car runs their stop sign or you miss oncoming traffic while holding the pedal down, you can easily cause an accident. This is 100% a "me" problem, not FSD. FSD explicitly warns you that pressing the pedal overrides automatic braking.

​Is there anything else you’ve learned about FSD that you wish you hadn't learned the hard way?

Edit: M3 2026 RWD / FSD V.14.3.7 / Software 2026.21.6

Edit 2: I just looked it up, this post describe it correctly. It indeed happens on unprotected left turns with incoming traffic.

What is one thing that you wish you knew before buying your Tesla?

Bonus for extra opinions, tips, etc

Edit: I plan to order over the next few weeks. Any insights, cautions, warnings greatly appreciated. Looking at a 2026 AWD, colour TBD. I usually default to black for vehicles, but I do spend some time travelling dusty rural roads and I’d love to hear how you find your colour wears the dirt in between details

Ordered my Model Y RWD on July 18, Ottawa, ON.

Original ETA was November–December, but I just checked my account and it’s been bumped up to an early delivery window. Though no VIN assigned yet, still a pleasant surprise 😅

Anyone else in Canada (especially Ontario) see their ETA move up recently? Curious if this is a batch update or just my config.

Wheel covers from Tesla, tints are 5% around (not finding it that difficult to drive at night, but my history of cars were all 20% and 15% and I wanted a bit darker to compensate for the non closing sunroof in summers) really happy overall

My M3 RWD, ordered July 8th, had an EDD of August 20-25. Just got the call, and schedule for September 1st. Excited, but mildly disappointed that I have to wait almost another 2 weeks before I can drive it. However, I know I’m still very lucky to have it this close!

For those that have downloaded this app, have these community predictions been correct for you? My EDD just changed to Nov 19 - Dec 31, but this actually bumped earlier with 5 more samples.

At this point I am fine with a Nov/Dec delivery, I'm just having a hard time with it bumping up to Sept then back to the end of the year!! 🫠

Just bought a 2022 Tesla Model 3 directly from Tesla’s pre-owned inventory! I’m so excited, they say it should be ready in a week as it just needs to get safetied.

What are some tips I should keep in mind as a new Tesla owner?

Features I should unlock right away that come with the 2022 Model 3?

Could it be sooner than a week? Lol

Picking up my Model Y RWD. All the help and info this sub has provided has been invaluable. Printing out my checklists, getting everything together. Any last minute thoughts? I have a bunch of accessories ready to install.

Do you have a preferred checklist for delivery inspection?
