Tesla enthusiast website Teslarati reported that roughly 300 examples of the Model 3 were spotted in a Toronto parking [ https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-3-delivery-canada-toronto-ontario/ ] lot on Wednesday. John Elliot from Waterloo, Ont., said he has been waiting for more than two years to get behind the wheel of the California-based automaker’s first mid-priced vehicle. “I haven’t slept all night,” he told CTV Toronto on Wednesday. “When I was like eight years old, I worked with a horse and buggy in a milk wagon.

Wendy Weir, from Kingston, Ont., said her husband Lenn had been counting down the days until he could take delivery of their new wheels. “It’s been like watching a kid trying to stay asleep so Santa Claus can come on Christmas morning,” she said. “I get it, but to me it’s just a car.” [© ctvnews.ca] + https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-3-autopilot-auto-lane-change-vehicle-detected/ Tesla owner demos Autopilot’s lane-changing behavior when a vehicle is detected June 5, 2018 The capability of Tesla's electric cars to detect other vehicles on the road while on Autopilot was highlighted in a video of a Model X owner back in April ...
