    Model Y Insurance question

    Yup, you're right. Changed in in 2014 apparently. 20 days after title acquired to notify for new acquired vehicles. A bit different if you're replacing a car and don't change the original coverages. That said, Tesla makes their own rules, so easiest just to add the car and modify dates...

    Model Y Insurance question

    Just to add a bit of closure. Your current policy, assuming full coverage, provides 30 days of coverage for newly acquired vehicles. The company just back dates it to the date ownership starts. That said, just add you VIN to your policy. If the effective date is dramatically different from...

    San Antonio-Dominion Service Center

    FWIW, from talks with staff and various message boards, the SA SC seems to have a pretty mature operation. The SC manager is spending most of his time up in Austin trying to sort out things there, since they lost there other manager earlier(?) this year. The sales side folks have all been great.

(context...LX470, LX570 and a couple of LS430s...and considering a 2017 LS460 Ultra) RX doesn't have the LS or LS build quality, but even there...

    Financial Considerations -- An Important Decision

    Mine was just a lease vs buy quote. No plans to move forward, unless I get end-of-quarter offer I can't refuse. Procrastinating over M3 vs X vs waiting for battery update on X....or maybe even the Y, though first year build concerns and availability make that model unlikely.

    Financial Considerations -- An Important Decision

    Useful, if you want to run some scenarios... Lease vs Buy A Car | Bankrate.com Residual on the base 2020 Tesla Model X they just quoted me was about 54%. ($47K residual on $85K price). When I looked at current asking prices for 2017 models, it somewhat suggested actual residual is greater than...
