    Reasonable car insurance (USA) ? I'm getting crazy quotes

    They did have to get some kind of permission to quote me one of my Teslas but did and it was cheaper than Allstate. My current cost is $2800/yr for 4 cars: Roadster Sport, Model S P85, BMW i3, and Porsche Cayman R. can't break it down because they lump the liability.

    Is there a My Tesla page for the Roadster on TeslaMotors.com ?

    my MyTesla page shows my Model S, my Roadster, and my reservation for an X. The cars I already have are shown exactly as they are down to the wheels.

    Reasonable car insurance (USA) ? I'm getting crazy quotes

    You guys should call Geico. They were less than half of my Allstate rates. In fact, I think you can get a quote online at their website.

    Will you buy the Roadster 3.0 battery upgrade?

    If you try to order the battery upgrade, it says for 2.0 an newer only.

    Roadster 3.0

    Bummer. I don't want to go 80 more miles in my Roadster (and it weighs more?). I would love to get the same capacity as I have now but have the battery weigh 40% less and lower the center of gravity. It would be cheaper too ($20K?). Seems like it would be easy to fill that container 60%...

    Corpus Christi Charging

    Greg, there is also a Nissan dealership nearby. You can see it in plugshare, but those can be really wimpy (24A). I took my M S down there last October and barely made it because a) did not fully charge it because I didn't think I needed it and b) I drove to fast and there is a headwind the...

    Brake Pads

    Well, Tesla refused to put the Carbotech pads on my car, even after repeated requests and an email with a Hold Harmless statement. The good news is that they carefully flushed the lines and adjusted the brakes and they are the best they have been since I got the car. They were horribly squishy...

    Brake Pads

    Djp and ViperDoc, Thank you both for your replies. I will push my SC to change the pads tomorrow when they do the annual service. If they won't, I'll do them myself. That Youtube video was great. I had no idea how easy it can be. thank you michael

    Brake Pads

    Who did you guys use to install the non-Tesla brake pads? I have the Carbotech pads sitting in a box and my Roadster scheduled to get its annual service on Monday, but I don't think Tesla will install them while they have the car. We don't have a Lotus dealer in town. Who did you trust to do...

    HPWC / UMC2 to Roadster adapter

    I received my MS -> Roadster adapter Monday. First I have to say that Henry's products look and feel like they were produced by NASA. They are the most beautifully built products you can buy anywhere. I have not been to a HPWC yet, but tested mine by plugging my Model S UMC (from a Nema 14-50)...

    San Antonio

    When I talked to him, he would not say where the new service center would be. He did say it would be a galleria too. Excited michael

    Initial impressions: Nitron 46mm NTR Race 1-way shocks

    any suggestions/experience with enclosed car carrier for move from CA to MA?

    Plycar was recommended by Tesla when I shipped my roadster from DC to San Antonio and I used them again for my Model S from LA to San Antonio. Both times a great experience. Always other fancy cars traveling with my Tesla. Michael
