    Body Shop Repair Costs--for me, a deal killer?

    Body shops take advantage when they work with Tesla's, there are many areas where there is only 1 authorized shop to work on Tesla's and that allows them to gouge and play with the customers in any possible way. Part are expensive, labor is insane and sometimes it feels I'm in the wrong...

    Boston Launching Spot

    Just watch for the State Troopers, I-90 also works well, if you go I-93, go North, south is terrible with traffic and everything.

    Is waiting 2 months+ for P90D parts normal?

    Tesla sucks on service period, repair costs are similar to what it costs to build a rocket, parts are shipped from the manufacturing facility on Mars, Body shops are total rip off. Owning a Tesla if you need repairs is the most frustrating experience I've ever had with owning cars. Mine took 2...

    15 Miles of Vampire Drain in 24 Hours - What Do I Win?

    I lose about 4-6 miles overnight, but around here temperatures drop to 10-15F at night with wind and other perks of the winter.

    Notice of Non-renewal of Insurance

    Welcome to the unpleasant part of owning a Tesla., crazy expensive and slow to repair, absurdly high insurance rates and cancelled policies, all things that won't change for the foreseeable future. My policy got cancelled due to Not at Fault accident with an animal that resulted in ~$20000...

    Insurance company won't renew my policy... 1 claim only

    I got my new policy written by a new insurance company and I can't be "happier" - went from $1200 a year to $3100... I still have time until the old policy expires, but chances to find cheaper than that are slim to none.

    Turned down for charger by condo association

    That is a sad decision, another reason why I hate condos altogether. Since you live in Dedham, you have the SC right there, which shouldn't be an issue for you to use.

    Fairly Major Issues this morning....

    I'm surprised they didn't send a technician out or offered to tow and loaner, as this is major safety issue with the car.

    Insurance company won't renew my policy... 1 claim only

    Well, I don't see how 1 claim is too many. I've had no other accidents or violations with the car or on the policy. I still haven't looked into new insurance company as I still have time, but I should have it all changed within the next couple weeks and will update what happens next. MA is...

    Insurance company won't renew my policy... 1 claim only

    @eye.surgeon How is that my fault exactly? By your response I would have to assume you've never encountered an animal on the highway. When you're moving at highway speed and something comes running fast from the side late at night at collision course and you can't see it, tell me how do you...

    Insurance company won't renew my policy... 1 claim only

    @MsElectric Registering under a company name, gives me certain benefits, my doctor said my foot is heavier than most people and driving a Tesla doesn't help my case for my driving record :) It's a not well known fact at least in MA, that driving record for vehicles under commercial policy...

    Insurance company won't renew my policy... 1 claim only

    Ok ,so the insurance company is Commerce Insurance. I think it's MA only company and I have/had other vehicles through out the years with them on my other companies. Here is more info about Commonwealth Automobile Reinsurers (CAR) - https://commauto.com/aboutcar/role.aspx In my case as no...

    Insurance company won't renew my policy... 1 claim only

    The problem now is that my policy from $1200 a year would probably double, how fun would that be? The official reason on the letter they sent me is: XXXX company No Longer Represents Your Agent For the Commonwealth Automobile Reinsurers. The unofficial reason provided from my agent: Claim...

    Insurance company won't renew my policy... 1 claim only

    Well, I should have seen this coming. My insurance company decided not to renew my policy for the Tesla based on 1 claim I had this summer and resulted in over $15000 worth of damages. It wasn't my fault either, I hit a coyote driving on a highway and destroyed the front end of the car from the...

    Tesla doesn't want to service my Model S

    I think demundus is trolling... just ignore him. Wait times are crazy in some areas and it's not normal at all. In MA with the 2nd open SC now, they have gone down from 2 months to about 2-3 weeks depending on issue.
