    Free Software Upgrade for Soul 2016 (Canada)

    Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I just learned about this update and would love to try and get it on our 2015 +. Any chance either of you folks in the thread here still have the file somewhere? Can upload to a drive? Cheers!

    New software update installation (video)

    I just learned about this upgrade a few days ago. I'm also in Canada, driving a 2015 +. Have you felt brave enough to try that download yet? I've only managed to find a link to instructions on installing the Canadian Software update. Maybe someone here on the forums had done the update and can...

    GTA in town hov lanes

    Can't comment on this one, Mike. I've only ever used the HOVs on highways. I'll ask around though and see if i can figure anything out.

    GTA or Ontario owners. How much?

    Nice! That was certainly thoughtful of them. I have to admit, I never really look at the individual kW monitor. I just do my best to keep the kwh/100km as low as possible. Floating around 21 right now. :(

    Climate control via UVO when unplugged

    Unfortunately the car HAS to be plugged in order for you to pre-heat/cool it. Just be thankful you at least have the UVO app. Us Canadians don't even have that... :cry:

    GTA or Ontario owners. How much?

    Congrats! Let us know how the delivery/pickup goes. I will say now that Ontario is going to be investing in an L3 charging network, our Souls will certainly be more valuable in a few years than they would've been otherwise.

    Ontario EV Charging Infrastructure

    It was recently announced that Ontario would be investing $20M in creating a network of public EV charging stations. I just stumbled upon a guide with details of the goals for the program, which are pretty exciting. A few highlights: - They are focused on building Level 3 chargers (though...

    First longer drive, no juice, no credit card - but success!!

    I'm very curious as to how you were able to do this? Can't think of any way I'd be able to do that.

    Maximum driving efficiency

    I actually always stick to driving in B (like being able to do minor adjustments to my speed), even with CC on the highway. What I do when I want to turn off CC is apply a bit of acceleration and have learned to find the sweet spot where the car doesn't slow down at all when I turn off CC...

    Pedestrian Warning System

    I think the reason some people 'have it' and some people 'don't' is because of the nature of the "engine sound". It is a high-frequency whine, and whether or not someone can hear that whine may depend on a persons age (we lose sensitivity to high frequency noise as we get older). I find it...

    GTA or Ontario owners. How much?

    Hey Mike, welcome to the forums! Our family outright purchased the car (which we mostly regret, as we will almost certainly be pre-ordering a Model 3). We paid essentially full price, as at the time we ordered there was a wait for Soul EV Luxury's. Ours has the sun roof, and total (after...

    Battery Degradation and Performance Patterns

    Oh sweet! Will try that as soon as I get into the car!

    Battery Degradation and Performance Patterns

    I think I may have something similar... We thought it was the trunk cover bumping up and down, but removed it and could still hear it. We think it may be the rear license plate, but keep forgetting to try and wedge something in between to see if that stops the noise. Is your rattling coming...

    Protective Body side molding

    Any pictures you could share? Would be great to how it looks.

    Top Questions You Get Asked as an EV Owner by ICE Owners

    I think this folds into your question 1, but I'm always shocked when people ask, "Where do you charge it?"

    Rolling in park? Anyone else?

    I have never driven a manual car, and thanks to electrics, never plan to. I've always preferred to use the parking brake when I'm actually parking. It's simple enough (especially on the Soul, where it disengages itself). Honestly, if at night, a car in front of me had no brake lights on, I'd...

    Rolling in park? Anyone else?

    You're going to continue to take heat for attempting to criticize our lack of 'proper or courteous' driving. Just to ensure I hadn't missed anything when learning how to drive, I went through the MTO's (Ministry of Transportation Ontario) drivers handbook (what you study to pass your driving...

    Panoramic Roof?

    It's probably worth noting the base price of cars in Canada is almost always higher than in the US (Base Soul EV is $34,995 CAD vs $33,950 US, and Luxury/+ $37,995 CAD vs $35,950 US).
