I was a long time USAA Insurance member and just recently switched away. No accidents or claims but rates dramatically going up. New provider came in at 1700 per year with Berkley One Insurance plus additional coverages at that price for new Model S as I was window shopping and comparing too :)

Plus Car service :)

I test drove a new Model S today and its improved compared to our one from a couple years ago. The ride & noise still not as smooth or quiet as our BMW but better than our last Model S. It looked like the fit & finish was a bit better but could be due to it being the demo car. Definitely...

Always tough to work through cost / benefit analysis which is why you're asking questions here. At current prices, Tesla has a lot of up front costs due to recent price increases and negates any gas savings over life of the vehicle. Really comes down to tech, needs, and comfort for you. There...

I had the 2021 Model S LR (right before plaid)- and did not have the blindspot or show.

Driving from DC to Florida in the M3LR 2019 was quite bumpy and won't do that again. However, for commuting its not really a problem around DC considering its just stop-and-go traffic which makes it a great commuter car.

It'll be interesting to see how they change up the UI - probably once I finally get used to it :) Overall not too bad but on the first drive out both screens froze and ended up pulling over to force a reboot. After that all was good. Probably should have just rebooted ahead of time after the...

Same here, on 2021.36.5.1, and no Sirius XM showing up :/

Progressive lens with no problems. Regarding the lasik comment, had that many moons ago and only lasted 7 years before needing the glasses again...

Due to pandemic we didn't get a walk through or overview. Maybe they'll bring it back when things settle down?

Everyone's experience is going to be different. However, in my case, with past vehicles, I've always gotten the full value and some out of my extended warranties. Especially with air suspension issues past basic warranty or other mechanical issues. Like clockwork, it seems, my past ICE...

I'm actually thankful I took delivery of my S in December after seeing the update. I'd have to test drive that new steering wheel first especially when backing out of tight spots in a parking garage. Not a fan of the half-steering wheel something that I would think most folks would want to...

I took delivery last week and the car was good to go with no issues. Same for several others picking up their deliveries alongside of us - lot of happy folks. I will say this was my second attempt at a Model S. It had problems with the back hatch not shutting and could not be repaired without...

Picked up my 2021 Model S today (Owings Mills). Couldn't be happier and found no issues with the vehicle so thankful for that. The sales Advisor/Manager was great work with too. Very good experience. A lot of folks picking up today and seemed to have similar experiences so things might be...

Whelp, try #2 since I rejected the first Model S this past summer due to the hatch not being aligned and not shutting properly. I ordered on Oct 14 and have a delivery scheduled for the 16th of Nov. Fingers crossed all will go well! Wanted to share timing, so folks in the Baltimore area have...
