    I haven't seen my S in 6 months, it's probably covered in dust in the garage and will probably need an entire day of updates.

    How does everyone handle updates if you're in a parking garage (condo)? It will push OTA updates if they're important, but I usually end up getting updates after parking at the in-laws house connected to their wifi. I haven't yet figured out a way to get updates pushed sooner OTA. Anyone have suggestions?
    Is your battery dead after 6 months?
    Take it to the Tesla dealership and have them install all of them there. Or tether it to your phone if you have a shit ton of data cap available. Public wifi is a pain in the ass. Good news is, if you are really far behind they’ll push the updates over LTE.

    I don't have the patience to sit there long enough for it to update.

    I have read that people tether their phone to their car. No idea on the size of the updates though.
    I tried that when I first got the car, it didn't work. Maybe it does now.

    It's definitely not dead. No dealer in Winterpeg. That is what I have found in the past, that they will push updates when you get really far behind. I seem to always be behind on updates and I assumed it was due to the lack of wifi in my condo building.

    I'm curious to see capability. We've been talking about getting a second EV. Either another Model 3, Model Y or this truck. But I bet it won't come until 2022 or later.

    Agreed. I think 2022 would be optimistic, maybe Q4 if they're lucky. This is probably the vehicle that I am most curious about, mainly because of the ridiculous descriptions Elon has provided about it, which could have been the point from the get go (to raise interest).

    It's the snout, change that by just adding same fake design elements (Chevy Bolt, Volt) and it would be much less odd looking.
    Will fuck off, again.

    Anyone know of a local shop that is able to put an additional subwoofer into a Model 3? It would be a premium model already but a little extra bass would be nice. Searching online it looks like a few shops in BC can do it but I haven’t found anything about Alberta. It might actually be a deal breaker for me on whether or not I buy the car.

    Is the stereo really unique somehow? You'd think any quality audio shop could do it.

    I think it's an issue with where to tap into power for an amp and doing it properly or shit goes haywire based on what I'm reading.

    You’re welcome. Follow this and you won’t fuck the 12V battery which will leave you stranded.

    With one of the newer updates, the car will now tell you when you have an update ready, then you just connect to wifi to download. For wifi you can tether your phone it worked for me while driving on deerfoot, then did the actual update when I got home.

    Eecol Electric. Calgary there is one on the south side. Edmonton there is one one on the west side.
    So I went to Eecol yesterday and they quoted me $88 for a 50Amp Stab Lok breaker. $30 more than Lowes (they had 15% off all weekend).

    Idk how reliable it would be buying from Amazon but it is a Siemens product so should be legitimate. Idk if this is the right style for the breaker panel

    You got the non contractor price.

    Eecol is more expensive for anything unless you can buy on account that deals with big $$. Even then, they are fairly pricey compared to some other wholesalers.
