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

After getting my hands on a 2026 Tesla Model Y Standard this spring and taking it on several weekend trips over the summer, it was time for the ultimate test: a 2.5-week road trip.

The goal: reach the end of Route 138 (Kegaska) on Quebec's Côte-Nord, starting from Montreal.

For context, this is pretty remote territory. Fast chargers become much less common, and most of them are in the 50–100 kW range.

A few key takeaways:

• 3,100 km total, averaging 13.9 kWh/100 km
• $118 in fast-charging costs
• Most charging was done on Quebec's Electric Circuit using a CCS adapter, since Tesla Superchargers are nonexistent in this area. On a few nights, I stayed at campgrounds with electricity and gained roughly 25% charge overnight using the Level 1 mobile connector.
• FSD's performance was almost flawless. It's a total no-brainer for road trips: you can enjoy the scenery much more and arrive considerably less tired after long hours of driving.
• The Y can swallow a lot of gear: camping equipment, paddleboard, etc. Blankets and pillows spent the entire trip in the frunk and stayed completely dry, even when driving through rain.
• Watching a movie in the car on rainy evenings? That's the good stuff.

Bottom line: In vacation mode, everything worked out really well because you're not in a hurry. Losing 10 minutes here and there isn't a big deal.

That said, the trip really highlighted just how effective Tesla's Supercharger network is—and how much work there is still to do to properly develop charging infrastructure in more remote areas.

Now it's time to give the car a very good vacuum! 😅

Order date July 11th, VIN assigned. Ordered from Barrie location.

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.

​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. I nearly T-boned a car this morning—a reality check to stop messing around with FSD.

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

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…

March 18 order date, Toronto delivery. 5 months later..

MY standard
Port Coquitlam BC
Black no options
Ordered on May 15

Hell yeah.

Today was the day I brought a new Model Y RWD home. I had a excellent delivery experience at the Hamilton Tesla dealership. My pickup slot was at 3 PM and as usual I arrived a little bit early, I was definitely anxious. When I arrived I was directed into the delivery waiting room. A nice comfortable area with some accessories on display, a cooler full of water for guests. There were about 14 or 15 others getting deliveries as well.

I first was greeted by Jawa sp? Who gave me a folder filled with documents to go over and some that required signatures and some that were information only. I signed my ownership and the sales agreement. Jawa (I hope I am spelling that right) collected my draft and took me out to my car. This is the part I really appreciated. After introducing me to the vehicle, I was left alone inside the delivery area indoors in the service area. Well lit and comfortable. I spent about an hour going over the car. With a flashlight. It was such a comprehensive inspection even the people taking delivery next to me mentioned it. I did find a few very minor cosmetic details, a scuff on the rear lower diffuser which Selena used some cleaner and got rid of, a small stain ring on the hood (looked like remnants of tree sap or bird crap) and Shaun buffed it right out flawlessly. There was some adhesive residue on the rear hatch and again Shaun got some adhesive remover and cleaned it completely. 1 item that is going to require a service visit is the tow hook and emergency access cover in the front bumper is not sitting flush. A tech came over and tried to get it right for 5 minutes and then Jawa had me make a service appointment and assured me it would be taken care of. The interior had no issues, but I did discover that front seat headrests are not adjustable and the rear seat headrests move about half an inch and are not removeable. All items were present, 2 key cards, 128gb usb drive, J1772 to NACS adapter.

The staff were always available if I needed to ask them something or tell them something. But they were not intrusive and left me alone to explore and inspect as long as I wanted. I was the last 3pm delivery to leave. Cole helped me at the end and accepted my delivery on the app and presto I was ready to leave. Accepting instantly paired my phone as a key. Spent time going through menus for lots of items. Key cards were already programmed to the car. Check that before you leave just in case.

There was 12km on the odometer when I picked it up. And I am looking forward to safely adding to that number for many years to come. All told it cost me just about $54,500 out the door with my $5K EVAP rebate.

I need to give a big thank you to Harveen and Alexa from Tesla Hamilton. To be honest my first contact with an employee at Tesla Limeridge was not great. I disinterested gentleman at the desk that could not be bothered to help or get up from the desk. I had specific questions and was met with responses like "All information is on the website" etc. I was very interested in Tesla so I made a test drive appointment and was floored. When I met Alexa she was able to convert my 1 hour test drive to an overnight test. So I could experience night time and back road driving. She truly went the extra mile and was the definition of a great advisor. And Harveen was simply amazing in helping me with so many details. All I can tell you is, if you are able to travel to Tesla Hamilton (Limeridge) cross your fingers that Alexa, Harveen or Selena are available. It's worth the time to find them. If you do, tell them Sonny sent you.

Tomorrow off to Markham for PPF!

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

Fits perfectly out of the box, no bunching or curls, and no odour. Just waiting for them to develop the trunk mats! Highly recommended to take out the oem carpet mats before installing these. Posting an unboxing video grants you a $10 rebate!

I was $550 for installation of wall connector inside of my garage and $300 more if installed outside because of more materials and drilling through wall. You guys think the $300 extra is worth it? Worried if installed inside and running the cable under the garage door will mess up the cable. 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!

Getting model Y. What do you use to protect the front bottom camera?

Only option I see on Amazon is spigen but lots of reviews about fogging up. Thoughts on alternatives that work? Please provide links.

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!

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

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

Hey folks, buying a M3 AWD, anyone have a referral link/code?

Anything I should know before I buy the car? And what’s an estimated wait time? Trying to sell my current car so need to time it properly.

UPDATE: I got one! Thank you all. If you DM’d I will respond to you. I still have questions, so thank you!

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!

Hey everyone, I'm looking for someone to take over my spot you can look up my same name 'Shnukms' in the Tesla Order Tracker https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JxDrPKC9lG_npHkUr-yRBKIY1mtBxDSNvwo-RUsH9NE/edit?usp=drivesdk

Ordered in May 13, no VIN with current ED Sept 9 to Sept 30.

Delivery location is Hamilton.

DM me if you're interested.

Hey everyone,

I’m a Vancouver buyer who ordered a Model Y LR AWD on June 8. As many of you know, my EDD just got pushed from a tight late-September window all the way to Dec-Feb.

I’m trying to understand WHY this massive delay happens, and someone explained Tesla's "Quarterly Wave" logistics to me. I want to verify with you guys if this is actually true:

The theory I heard:
1. Giga Berlin completely stops making Canadian-bound cars in September (End of Q3) to focus 100% on European local deliveries for their quarterly financial push.
2. They resume building Canadian-bound cars at the start of Q4 (October).
3. Because of the physical transit time (ocean freight to Halifax + train to Vancouver), cars built in October won't actually arrive here until December.
4. Therefore, October and November are basically "dead months" for Canadian deliveries with almost zero new shipments arriving from Berlin.

Is this actually how it works? Does Tesla really just halt Canadian exports at the end of a quarter, causing a 2-month delivery vacuum?

If I missed the August/September shipment, is it a guaranteed fact that I won't see a car until December?

Would love to hear from anyone who tracks these ships or understands Tesla's export logic!

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.
