Too much discussion of the price of Autopilot and whether to buy it or not.....Is it worth it? You bet. A recent trip south on I95 in VA had me in the left lane of a 3 lane stretch going 65 while on "Nav on AP" with cruise set at 70 in an AWD LR M3. The car suggests moving to the center lane...

I hired an expert appraiser and filed a claim for "diminution of value" It cost me a $200 fee, but he gave me expert filled-out forms and we claimed $7800 in DV on my Model S. I settled for $6900 and got a check for that amount from the 3rd party ins. co. This is no small matter. Your...

Phil David......Sunroofs that open are fine, but glass roofs like the M3 are awful. Maybe OK for Philly, but for FL, my wife's M3 gets to internal temp of 140 degrees unless I vent the windows. Then it "cools" down to 120. What a terrible engineering design. My head is within 2" of the roof...

I sympathize with DrGene. Some Homeowner Assn's (mine for one) require trucks to be garaged. You cannot leave it in the driveway overnight.

People complain about having to strangle grip the wheel when on AP. I find a click up on the radio volume wheel and then a click down a half mile later keeps the warnings at bay.

Has the Senator actually checked to see if this trick to defeat the system actually works? Or is he calling NHTSA on the carpet because he saw a Youtube video? What he should be spending his efforts on is curbing the top speed of all vehicles. There is no need for anyone to drive 85mph; and...

Absolutely claim diminished value! I had an expert do an evaluation of my car (2012 Model S Signature) after an accident and found its resale value went from $32,000 to $24,000 and filed a claim for $8K. Settled for $7K. This is in addition to the 3rd party insurer paying $11K in repairs...

Glass roof? I dunno...... How big were the hail stones?

Other guy at fault, it looks like. Not sure if it applies "down under" but file a diminution of value claim with his insurer. I got a check for about $7K USD from the at-fault party's insurer on a 2012 MS. This is in addition to repair costs. When you go to sell, a Carfax report will have...

pgkvet: Reason enough to read the paper online?

Take a tip from me....I was rear-ended and after $11K damages to my 2012 Model S Sig, I filed a claim for diminution of value against the at-fault's insured. FL and many other states have regs to make you "whole". After you get repairs, you will get a hit on the trade-in value of your car on...

Check with your insurance company. Glass replacement is covered under some comprehensive plans with $0 deductible. Not sure about Tesla all glass auto, 'tho.

I keep my left hand on the wheel or rest it on my knee and scroll the radio volume up and down every 20 seconds, or so.

Long rant for a mental error.....asking Tesla for help? Next time, charge at the Savannah Airport SC, 45 miles from Hilton Head. I used the Tesla destination charger at the Westin Hotel at Barony Beach. Went there for dinner one night, and they let me leave the car overnight in their...

I have white seats and a 4 yr old. Be sure to place a towel under the child's removable car seat and see that it extends over the area he/she can reach with their shoes. Towel will save scuffing of the pleather as well as catch spills. Mo issues, to date.

With abrupt stopping being reported, how will Tesla handle icy road conditions? Skid, fishtail avoidance will probably be more prevalent in the winter....take caution.

Sig Red MS still turns heads, 7 years later. Wife's Model 3 red looks like a Toyota or Honda. I would support expanding the use of Sig Red with a $3000 premium. Then split the monies 50/50 between Tesla Motors and those who stepped up so long ago to layout $30k deposits to get THE color.

I have same version on a M3. Same issue on Rte 6, Sandwich, Cape Cod MA. 2 lane div hwy. My car braked in the rh lane before turning into the exit lane. Nearly rear-ended. The system should be improved to evaluate the rearward traffic before such an abrupt brake maneuver at 60 mph.

The best location is Corkscrew Rd, exit 123 in Estero, FL....At Miromar Outlet Mall. Right at the exit with plenty to do, Germaine Arena next door, also. It is exactly 1/2 way (140miles to both Tampa and Miami).....This location screams of perfection. Do a full charge, there, then you don't...
