I'd be surprised since there is another supercharger in Springfield already, but I guess anything is possible.

@reductase Parkway Shell in Burke (5751 Burke Centre Pkwy, Burke, VA 22015) has been doing Teslas for at least 5 years. Easy to get the inspection done there and you pay your $15 (or $20, whatever it is now). No financial interest, just a satisified customer.

How old is your 12V battery? On a 2013 car it is way overdue for replacement...I just replaced the one on my 2017 (and had gotten the alert it was dying)...

it is documented in Tesla's instruction manual that it does not support group messaging. Basically when you respond to a group text, you are only responding to the person who sent the text. Obviously supporting group texts would be nice (and they will hopefully do so in the future), but per...

You were lucky. I just touched the brakes and got both a hard braking and a following too closely ding...53 on the drive. I've given up on the safety score stuff and now just drive as I used to before. It's too frustrating.

I suspect it may be in the parking garage. That was the speculation a couple of years ago when it was getting built...

Chantilly Autobody is a certified Tesla repair shop and repaired my car.

Well it looks like those people who bought cars in 2017 and has AP2.0 are out of schlitz, even if they upgraded to MCU2 (or the cars that had it to begin with). Looks like none of those cars have been given FSD Beta despite perfect scores and Elon indicated those cars need all cameras replaced...

For what it is worth, it is also clear that using autopilot actually hurts your safety score in traffic. I've been dinged for following too closely (with following range set on 5) and hard braking for drives when the triggers that caused those dings were when autopilot was on. It will be...

I have noticed no issues with 32.10 on a 2017 Model S with Updated MCU. It sounds like those saying they have issues may need to do a full, deep reboot and, if that doesn't address it, get the car in for service.

Genuinely curious why you believe this to be the case. It appears that the damage is limited to front bumper/nosecone assembly, probably the radiator(s), the hood and the front right quarter panel. Tires seem to be aligned which would indicate the impact didn't reach the drive unit/front axle...

Not sure how many cars you've actually repaired personally, but I've repaired many. The difference in repairing an ice car involved in a front end collision is that often you not only have radiator damage, but the engine itself was pushed back off it's mounts (or bending them and the frame) as...

Actually I own a 2017 which was rear-ended in a similar type accident in May of 2018. I documented the subsequent repairs (estimates, delays for parts, getting the insurance to cover replacing the PPF and Ceramic coat, getting a DV estimate and fighting with the insurer of the guy who hit me to...

It likely will be fixed vice totalled by your insurance company. Two reasons: 1. The cost of totalling the car is a VERY large number for a Tesla. 2. As there is no engine there, you don't have all of the damage that you would have in an ICE car. In effect most of the front is a crumple one...

do you have an SSD you recommend? I'm seeing the same issue -- slow write times on the third USB I've purchased.
