Is your Tesla supposed to automatically avoid obsticals like that? I know that is asking a lot but I thought they were getting that good.

I dunno if you saw what the roads were like in southern/central Alberta yesterday but they were terrible. Really poor visibility and a ground blizzard. I was driving manually as one should do in that situation. Definitely my own fault.

I wasn't trying to be a smart-ass, I really did not know if they would sense something on the road and warn you in time.

8600kwh for the whole year???

That’s more than my house for the year.


The only savings I am seeing at the moment, is no taxes or highway tax on electricity yet, wait till there are restrictions on charging EV’s
Stay tuned it’s coming, alberta has a power alert this week.
The cost per KWH is the highest I can remember. 23c per kWh right now.

Tesla charging in Fernie is going great! Bobcat backed into one and a propane super B covering the rest all night. 😂😂😂

My parents bought a Hyundai Kona this spring for short trips to town or just regular island day to day driving. In the month of November they drove 2285km for a cost of $51. That works out to 44.8km/$1

Pretty hard to get that with a combustion engine.

For short commutes and not a lot of driving they have their place... 100%....but for myself that isn't even a full week of a driving.
Gonna be a long damn time before I can hook an electric truck onto a sled trailer and make the 1000km drive to The hills in 12 hours.
