    X-Care Experiences

    I didn't find any reasonable complaints about the X-Care product after a decent amount of searching. There was one (not on BBB) that was a misunderstanding about the pro rata refund-it's pro rata minus claims paid which is perfectly fair. Good point about there not being a denominator of...

    X-Care Experiences

    Had a pleasant exchange with Brent just now. It looks like Xcelerate's reputation to date doesn't merit being tarred with the brush associated with EDS-the reasons for the relationship make sense and I am inclined to give Xcelerate the benefit of the doubt. I appreciate the conversation.

    X-Care Experiences

    Not sure how you got there but that doesn't show the review rating, but does show the same number of complaints. Here's what I see: There is also a page for "Endurance Warranty Services, L.L.C." (same address in Northbrook, IL) that has a better review rating but a whole lot more complaints:

    Thanks for responding - asking a question in PM.

    X-Care Experiences

    I'd be interested in that too - I read that they are partnering with EDS for administrative services and that'd be fine but since the contract is with EDS that's what drives the doubt for me. (Edit - what is the relationship? Is Xcelerate a subsidiary of EDS or does EDS hold a significant stake?)

    X-Care Experiences

    The bakery is hilarious - and it's the only review. Point taken about the major companies' reviews. But the BBB reviews for EDS that aren't basically content free don't paint a good picture of their business practices.

    I've heard it referred to as "Boomer Yelp." :). There are only two substantive reviews of EDS on actual Yelp but neither is heaping praise on them.

    X-Care Experiences

    Appreciate the perspective. Sure, some of them are like you say but when a company accumulates that many P.O.'d people regardless of whether they're mostly cranks, that's a huge red flag. And I agree that the Xcelerate folks seem good here but Xcelerate is not who the contract is with. So while...

    X-Care Experiences

    I was considering purchasing one of these as the basic warranty on my 3 is expiring soon but the sample contract shows the warranty provider is actually Endurance Dealer Services, LLC. As part of due diligence, took a look at that company's BBB entry and the reviews are a bloodbath. Going to...

    Texas buyers. Bank wants title transfer guarantee doc

    Had no trouble at all with this with PenFed. Apparently they trust their customers to perfect the lien. There was a clause that allowed them to convert it to a personal loan at the prevailing interest rate for same if the car wasn't titled with them as lienholder in some reasonable amount of...

    Tesla wins in Michigan!!!

    I understand the pragmatism and would certainly appreciate an SC without traveling to Chicago or Toledo. But I don't think this is equivalent to the best case scenario: the best case scenario could have been overturning of the law by a Federal court (I imagine the MI Supreme Court would have...

    Tesla wins in Michigan!!!

    Really doesn't seem like that much of a victory so much as a workaround. IMO Tesla should have held out for their day in court and got the corruption overturned.

    Tesla wins in Michigan!!!

    I did not know that. I would have picked up in OH rather than IL; I thought MI had been at least losing out on sales tax for its anti-EV, anti-Tesla bias.

    Tesla banned me from purchasing another Tesla after vehicle buyback

    That he tried to get a warranty issue fixed after being stonewalled and help others in the same situation out? I respectfully disagree.

    Tesla banned me from purchasing another Tesla after vehicle buyback

    The whole "fire the unreasonable customer" (and I disagree with the idea that this customer was unreasonable) thing sounds like a great idea until the social media blowback hits. Wiser companies only take this kind of action in extreme circumstances with a customer who has demonstrated a pattern...

    If you would do $1,300 cash, I could meet you at a place convenient to you in A2 this afternoon. (I'm on the other side of the state.)

    Tesla V10 software update rollout: post here if you are still waiting

    Good for them I guess. I don't believe in paying forever for apps, so am on Stats. Haven't seen any 2019.32.10 there yet.

    You'd think for $5/mo. per subscriber they'd be able to keep the site up. Maybe they locked it down to subscribers.

    Michigan Registration Fee

    Thanks! I took a read after and my plain language (i.e. not a "nuanced" one of a lawyer or a policy wonk) says that the "purchase price" can only be used if neither the Monroney sticker ("label required to be affixed . . . 15 USC 1232") nor the price "published" by the SoS (in this case...

    Michigan Registration Fee

    Update - brought the title and the window sticker. They still insisted in trying to look up the VIN in NADA's database. What I didn't know before that I learned today is that their NADA product is returning a "VIN error" on the VIN for my Model 3. So at the time of my original registration, they...

    Michigan Registration Fee

    That's great to hear - I'm going to try the same thing and will report back. I could live with the dual motor being included, but paint, AP, and FSD are truly options and there's no reasonable interpretation I can conjure that would justify including them in "base price." Only remaining step...

    Michigan Registration Fee

    On my dual motor Model 3, I was charged registration not only on the dual motor but also AP and FSD (56001E fee category). Has anyone had any success at all getting this fixed after titling? Or is SOS still standing on "we use NADA, too bad?"

    Best All season Mats

    That link goes to a product that says it's for the Honda CR-V - do those fit the Model 3 well? (They are over $50 cheaper than what appear to be the same mats for the Model 3. #teslatax)

    Leather Floor Mats Set by i18CarGift

    I see what your wife is getting at but these could be very good in winter. The Tesla ones (which I was surprised to read are made by WeatherTech) don't have enough lip for the amount of snow and slush and muck in these parts. I've been holding out hoping for "real" (high-lipped) WeatherTech mats...
