    Replacing fob battery

    Hi, everyone! The CR2354 batteries I bought on Amazon fit and worked! As I indicated above, my ordering from Amazon was kind of a crapshoot because the photos of the product did not show the side of the battery. Out of an abundance of caution (yeah, I always wear two parachutes whenever I...

    What coverage do you get via Tesla Insurance?

    And what happened to your home and umbrella when you started to buy insurance "unbundled"? Did you compare those costs? Insurance companies make their money on auto insurance, not the home and umbrella, so if you take your auto insurance business to TSLA, State Farm (or whoever) will goose...

    What coverage do you get via Tesla Insurance?

    $140 x 12 = $1,680 (of savings per year). My premium in NYS (read: insurance, like everything else, is expensive) for auto, with $1,000.00 deductible on the collision is something like $900.00/year. Thus, my premium from someone other than TSLA in NYS would have to be higher than $2,780 before...

    What coverage do you get via Tesla Insurance?

    Why would you want to buy auto from Tesla? Why not bundle it with your Umbrella and Homeowners? You'll get a better overall price. Besides, I'm guessing that if you make a claim, their service will be terrible. They make good cars, not sell insurance.

    Replacing fob battery

    I don't have the Tesla app on my phone. Despite owning a Tesla, I'm kind of a Luddite. I'll look into that when I get a new battery in my iPhone. Sigh.

    Replacing fob battery

    Thanks, Shawn. This is very good to know. While waiting for an answer, I called Panasonic, and they referred me to EV Tuning. No real assurance that the batteries will fit because there was not a clear picture (sideview) of the batteries I bought, but the gal on the phone assured me they...

    Replacing fob battery

    OK, so I bought my Model X in November, 2019. I love the car, but last week, one of my fob batteries goes dead. "No probs," me thinks, "I'll just buy a new one and replace it." Small problem: The usual battery outlets around here (Wal-Mart, Lowe's, CVS) don't carry the nickel-size battery, a...
