    I have full self driving on my model 3. If I buy a new Tesla does FSD transfer

    This may or may not be helpful to you (or others reading), but here goes. My insurance company considers anything on the original purchase order to be covered. So if your car is totaled, the insurance company should consider the value of anything, software included, on the original bill of...

    I have a P85DL from 2015. AP1, MCU1, installing now. So not just AP2 cars.

    Abnormal consumption Model S P85D

    I also have a 2015 P85D. The wh/mile for 'rated range' is 310. This is with 19 inch wheels. You could expect slightly higher consumption with 21 inch wheels, maybe 10wh/mile. So to translate to km, that's 186wh/km for rated, and likely 190-195 for the 21 inch weels for rated range. I've...

    Tesla drops annual service for as needed service

    I was thinking, I wonder how much of the service centers time was spent on annual maintenance? By changing this recommendation, that potentially frees up service centers from having to service as many cars, reducing the pressure on them.

    Model 3 - Accident, Frustration, and Looming Repairs

    You mention 'Fair Claim Settlement Practices'. It seems different states have different versions of this (often called unfair claim settlement practices). Is there also a national standard that all insurance companies must follow, that specifically talks about loss of use? If you have any...

    Model 3 - Accident, Frustration, and Looming Repairs

    Just as a point of fact, this is being repaired not with tesla directly, so it's not really tesla that is dropping the scheduling ball.

    Model 3 - Accident, Frustration, and Looming Repairs

    The saga continues. Last week, they prepped the car for me, and had to do a software update. Unfortunately, nobody at the shop thought to do this before. The update failed, so they had to get another part. They got it, put it in, and this week, agian a failure to update. They don't know...

    Model 3 - Accident, Frustration, and Looming Repairs

    Sorry for your loss. :( The car took the energy and sent it around the passenger cabin. For the speed, we had some seatbelt brusing and that was it. Absolutely lucky. That said, I think it's trash that I have to haggle with the repair shop. Insurance companies need to do their due...

    No gap, as I have new car replacement insurance. Also, was not totaled.

    Model 3 - Accident, Frustration, and Looming Repairs

    I think it depends greatly on the market you're in. If you're on the coasts, esp places like the bay area or NY or Seattle, you'll see $125/hr for body/paint. The fact that Travelers is balking at $60/hour is pretty crappy though.

    Model 3 - Accident, Frustration, and Looming Repairs

    Happy to share. Travelers is the company. They said something about 'state mandated labor rate' they pay, insinuating it was spelled out in statute. Which... I don't believe, and have not found. The shop didn't quote me their rates, so they don't have a leg to stand on. They already...
