Electric vehicles

[skegpro]

I don’t mind a road tax being included in the registration.
What is a fuel tax on electricity?

You own a electric vehicle?
Or is this just a fetish?

Did you pre order your winter tires to. In BC the fine people who are not snow flakes. Must be an NDP thing.

Unfortunately...

Mitchell said there was a “very low” chance that Oshawa would be one of the expansion targets for Tesla, given the difficulties of cross-border manufacturing and other issues.
“It’s a huge plant. They’re not ready to go to that scale of production yet,” he said.
“Never say never, but it’s unlikely.”
Additionally, Mitchell said, the Oshawa plant would need significant retooling in order to produce electric vehicles. GM had cited a company-wide move toward electric vehicles as one of the reasons it was abandoning Oshawa.

I’m ordering a set on Monday. Said it would take a week.

I got a long range dual motor with EAP and 18” aero wheels. Didn’t get the performance model because I don’t want 20” wheels and the suspension is lower. Also don’t really need track mode or 0-60 in 3.1 sec.

Maybe you could start a separate thread on that Model 3, lots of folks myself included will be interested in it.

What? Do you need special winter tires for EV’s?

I know Tesla had some proprietary tires for other models. They had some sound dampening stuff inside. Perhaps it's the same for their winters?

Yes you do.

 

[takethebounce]

Yes you do.

Lol so I was just doing some reading,
These cars do not come with a spare and some use proprietary sizes in some cases with internal acoustic foam that may or may not be repaired by your local tire shop, so should you get a flat or even worse a blowout you can’t get a replacement tire off the shelf?

Sounds convenient.

I’m using a tire shop. Tesla wheel/tire packages are back ordered

 

[jhurkot]

No you do not.

There is foam inside to make them quieter. I don’t see why you can’t remove it. Just more noise.

He also waited months longer for his promised Tesla delivery.

My dad ordered August 24, delivered September 20.
I ordered December 3, my date is December 18.

Ordering a car on a website is kind of different.
