While most insurance policies are similar, they are all different - especially when it comes to first party coverage. My policy offers an additional 20% on any total loss settlement. I pay a little extra to have that endorsement on my policy. If I didn't pay for it, I wouldn't receive it. Most...

Just know that when they provide you with a valuation, they have to show you the comps used to reach that value. I'd highly recommend looking at each of the comps to ensure they are true comps. The good thing about Tesla's is that they are all relatively similar with only a few differences that...

It is the case in the US. I also highly doubt that in Canada, a person slamming on their brakes to avoid a deer (or anything for that matter) would be at fault if someone was following too closely and hit them from behind. There was zero negligence on the person who got hit.

Tesla's Elon Musk clarifies confusion on ventilators donated to hospitals in need Hmm

Can confirm! The place I took my car for full ceramic coating also did the full interior. About a week later my wife spilled a quarter of her travel mug of water on her seat. It just pooled right up for easy cleanup!

I have SnapPlate as well. It works well. Though I rarely actually have it on... it works when I do put it on. At least during this whole CoronaVirus thing, I know cops aren't going to be pulling people over for small things like no front plate. So we'll see if that changes once things get back...

Not if you were pushed by another car. If you are the sole reason why your car hit another in the rear, then yes - you're at fault. But if someone hits you first and pushes you into that car, you are not the negligent party. If you're at a complete stop and a semi bulldozes into the back of you...

Not at all. I don't actually handle claims directly any more, but I manage teams that do. I started my insurance career as an insurance adjuster, so I know what they go through. To be completely honest, claim adjusting is often extremely busy. During "busy times", many adjusters have much more...

Not the best photos, the reflection was really bad. But you can see from the interior shot how light it still appears to be, so I added the exterior photo to show you how dark it actually is on the outside.

I bought their wireless charger on Amazon. Stopped working after less than a week. I called Amazon originally and they put me in contact with Taptes directly (via Amazon communcations), and they were very responsive via email. So responsive that if I didn't respond to their email for 8 hours...

I agree with full. I would have done full regardless, but a big part of my reasoning of doing it was due to my son. He's rear-facing in a car seat and is entirely exposed to that back window - so the darker I can get it for him, the better. I went 18%, so the "double tinted" portion is pretty...

Man, you sure know a lot. :rolleyes: You're so wrong on so many of your points. Insurance companies absolutely do not operate on that model - not the big ones anyway. Their model is to pay what they owe. No more, no less. Most of the big insurance companies are mutual companies, meaning their...

To be honest, an attorney can't help you much with DV other than giving you guidance and pointing you in the right direction. They can't represent you in small claims unless you're filing a very large DV claims that exceeds the small claims threshold. Oregon is definitely different when it...

I work in insurance, specifically auto insurance. Very familiar with how it works. Very true, California does not allow insurers to increase rates for a single not at fault loss. However, if you have 1 or 2 not at fault losses and then 1 or 2 at fault, they absolutely could raise your rates...

I’ve got 18% all around including entire back glass and it’s great. It definitely is a lot darker at night, but not to the point where you can’t see by any means.

Those are all 100% correct. I’d add to also take a few wide pics of the scene. If you can stop immediately after the accident and take wide shots showing the vehicle locations, it really helps prove what happened and where if that ends up being disputed, like it often is (lane changes in...

You’re right, it doesn’t look like it would make sense. With that said, there are some weird things that happen in accidents that don’t always look like they physically make sense. I don’t necessarily think that this is one of them, however without enough direct evidence to prove contrary, the...

I never said your scenario was further from the truth, but rather you stating what the “law” is that was further from the truth. Again, I don’t doubt your experience, but the law is not going to be on OP’s side for this one unfortunately. As a side note about police - they rarely come to the...

There are lots of different scenarios in which you could have gotten your vehicle repaired. Dispute of facts, evidence that disproved someone’s statement, or even joint & several law. The middle car could have admitted to hitting you first before they got hit. In which case, they would be at...

That is NOT the law in California. AAA did not lie to you. You’re on a Tesla forum getting advice from people who don’t know anything about insurance or the actual law. Take the advice you get here with a grain of salt. CA is one of the most highly regulated states when it comes to insurance...

Exact same experience. Just a small cardboard box with no markings on it. Not taped shut. In fact, the charger only lasted about 3 days before it stopped working. I’ve been emailing back and forth with Taptes since yesterday. They agreed to send me a new one today. We will see how it looks. If...

You couldn't be further from the truth there. It's all about negligence. If the Prius really was pushed into OP (which based on the damage... doubtful, but that's their claim), then they would be negligence free. Under the law, they would not be responsible. Their insurance would deny liability...

Totally get wanting to use your own insurance because they often will look out for you. But with that said, even not at fault claims can count against you when it comes time for renewal of your policy.

I carry my phone in my back pocket 99% of the time. Unfortunately this somehow blocks bluetooth from connecting as quickly so I end up either having to turn my butt around (it really does work!) or pull my phone out of my pocket. I'm considering getting the fob to a) not look like a weirdo...

He'd have to pay his deductible up front and it would be recorded as a paid claim under his policy which inevitably could impact his premium, even with a full recovery (never a guarantee that they'd recover 100%). Why have a claim under your own policy if you don't have to? The fewer you can...

Mine was listed as an order fee on my MVPA and increased my overall price by $100. Same way it was listed on the order agreement when I first placed my order. There was nothing that ever stated it was deposit or that it would be applied toward the purchase of the car.

I promise you, if you get hit by someone's vehicle (in a very minor accident such as this), don't realize it, and drive off, you will NEVER be in any legal trouble. Stop trying to fear monger and spread misinformation. I can't tell you how many times in my career in insurance semi truck drivers...

Got some tints today.

I work in insurance, claims in particular. To avoid having a claim on your policy I’d recommend filing a police report to see if they will attempt to obtain the owners insurance. There’s no harm at all in filing a police report. You were unaware of an accident until now. If they can help you...

The shop should have garage keepers insurance coverage. That coverage generally covers any damage to a customer's auto while they have it. I'd press them to either cover it or file a claim with their insurance or you'll be coming after them through legal means. Sometimes just the threat of that...

I just picked up my Model 3 yesterday. I'd purchased the Tesla all weather mats ahead of time and put them in last night. Great fit, great look. I'd recommend them.

Until a VIN is assigned, I don't think the SA's can do much at all other than tell you what they're currently seeing. It doesn't sound like they're given a lot of advanced information at all. Once you have a VIN assigned, they should be able to give you much more. I can't imagine that it will...

Can confirm. My odometer disclosure even said 50, but my car had 6.

Yup I think so! Ordered on Jan 12th! Your sneak peaked pics looked great too! That had to have been hard to be that close but not be able to drive away in it!

I picked up this afternoon. I think I’m in love. You all are going to love your car. Hope they all come soon! 7 weeks and 3 days was absolutely worth it.

I'm going to be picking mine up today at 4pm (was able to bump up my pickup by a couple of days). I'm giddy like a little kid on Christmas. I'll probably too excited to truly look over the vehicle to make sure it's in tip top shape. I hope the rest of you start hearing some news soon. It really...

If you search "vin" and find the 5YJ is after that, then that should be your VIN (17 digits long). There are 3-4 instances of "vin" (include the " when you search just to narrow it down) and the actual VIN should come after that. If you're finding "5Y" in another area and nothing for "5YJ", then...

Yeah, they can't even make the cars fast enough to fulfill the demand. I'd be shocked if they had leftover inventory vehicles. There are still people who ordered in December who haven't got their cars yet.

Just received my text to pickup this week. It gave me a range from Wed-Fri. Fingers crossed everything goes according to schedule! No MVPA yet though. Now I just need to work on selling my Tahoe...

Ordered P3D on 1/12 with an 8-11 week estimate. 2/24 - “ready for delivery 2-5 weeks from today” text. 2/29 - VIN in source. Delivery to Portland, OR No MVPA in the account yet. We will see if anything changes tomorrow.

My VIN just showed up too! 1/12 order in PDX. blue/black

Love it. Have you found that the 50% on your windshield causes any issues at all with the front camera? The place I use for tinting said they won’t do the windshield due to problems it can cause.

I’m going to guess that a lot of us will see the “expecting to be built” text on Monday. That seems to be the trend with the folks who got their VINs this week - they all got that text on Monday. We will see!

I plan on doing 18% all around (minus windshield obviously). My other cars are all 24% and not quite as dark as I’d like, so 18% should be perfect with the black interior. 24% is the legal limit here, but it doesn’t seem to really be enforced at all.

Congrats! I’m hopeful that I’ll get the “built within 2 weeks” text on Monday and then see some traction after that. I only 4 days after you, so that’d be in line!

They just build the Performance models last apparently. Seems kind of odd that the save the most expensive ones for last.

The ones I’ve been seeing pop up today are only showing online for a really brief period. It makes me wonder if the branches have to load them into their locations before assigning to customers. I can’t imagine they’d be posting a lot of new inventory when plenty of people are waiting for their...

According to EV-TSLA.com - Global Inventory Search, they've got a few M3P's on the east coast (FL had 3 of them 5 minutes ago showing, but now there's only 1 left...). They had my exact spec, which makes me hopeful that I'll see something soon as it means they've already been rolling them off...

Well if your 5YJ number is 17 digits, you got it. That’s exciting!

If you search “vin”, do you find any entries still with “null” after vin?
