    Cost of insurance for Model S

    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 :)

    MS Plaid vs Taycan vs EQS

    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...

    MYLR vs Subaru Outback: Outback better AP and reliability?

    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...

    No Blind Spot Video or Light show

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

    Model 3 performance ride quality

    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.

    Why no Holiday Update for pre 2021 Model S?

    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...

    Recent fire another reason all controls on screen are a bad idea!

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

    Is Model S Extended Warranty Worth It?

    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...

    New 2021 Model S Unveiled January 27, 2021

    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...

    2021 Model S

    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...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    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...

    Looks like not much have changed in the Delivery experience

    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...

    It didn't take long to lose confidence

    Mine came with the Tesla Tire repair kit. Was pleasantly surprised as I thought I was going to have to purchase one last year.

    Delivery times now 7-11 weeks

    They're showing deliveries in 1-3 weeks now for X & S. Kind of odd they were really long wait times then just dropped this morning.

    Quality Issues on Model S built in March 2020

    For a vehicle and data-driven company, you would think they would use the # of issues they encounter to drive improvements including enhancing operational efficiency, reduce OpEx on repairs, or evaluate how they handle quality control. The Model 3 we got was perfect but the Model S we went to...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Hi all, sharing my fun delivery experience. I ordered a Model S LR two weeks ago and anxiously awaited the big day. Beautiful car and interior but was shown the side mirror and chrome was damaged upon arrival. They were going to replace it when a new one came in. I thought, ok, I can live with...
