    Insurance On Model S?

    I actually was rear ended and had no issue with Geico. They provided me with a Tesla approved body shop and from that point on, other than a few follow up calls between me and the bodyshop to coordinate on delivery of the parts i had no problem with Geico.

    7.1 > 8.0? Seems like an update for Tesla's legal team, and a net loss for customers.

    what about the phone update...it's so annoying that it wont do one step dialing when you say call X

    New Evannex cubby compartment?

    I also have been on the fence about dropping 190 (including shipping) for the CF cubby. It seems like it's just a plastic tray with CF vinyl on the face. It looks great and i do have issues with P90DL and stuff flying out of the cubby. I need to sleep on it!

    Am I overthinking charging?

    if you have your car plugged the car won't move it detects the cable. i wouldn't spend the extra cash on having a 2nd meter installed. i have been charging between 12AM and 7AM for years it's a no brainer.

    Deciding on air suspension

    i have had it on both of my cars and i never had an issue with repairs. I have the service agreement and car is under warranty. i wouldn't worry about the air suspension breaking...there are a lot more things to worry about!

    2015 Tesla 85 model S, 2187 miles, immaculate, $79,000

    You put Satelite radio on your phone and you play satelite radio using bluetooth. I have been listening to Stern in both my Model S's since 2013 and it works great...no need for the premium upgrade for 2k. Not sure what the annual fee is for Satelite mobile but i can assure you it is way less...

    Auto Pilot Observations/Suggestions post Cincy/Atlanta R/T

    drove back from Fremont to LA used AP 85% of the time and it was all night time driving. It took some getting used to but overall experience was hands down very impressive. The occasional construction zone areas i took control of car but other than that it was a very relaxing ride. There was...

    Alliant Credit Union as a Financing Option

    i had great experience with ACU as well. I got approved for 106k but then today when finalizing ACU told me if i wanted the gap insurance i would need to reduce loan to below 105 and pay 399 so they do have a cap on gap protection on high dollar loans.

    Picking the right color

    color is irrelevant if your worrrying about heat, considering we all have the tesla app that allows you to turn on ac before getting in vehicle. It's the best...i rarely deal with hot car and i live in so cal

    The "Is Tesla Going Bankrupt?" thread

    Ditto!! I have stock in the co. and i also sold puts at 100 way out at 2017 for exact reasons above. If the stock tanks because company cant raise cash on it's own the company is going to be acquired without a doubt. I have been trading in and out of Tesla and been selling puts since 2013 and...

    Is there any downside to buy a showroom car directly?

    i am picking up my second Tesla in a week. The first was my complete custom build P85 and i waited 2 months for it. I was speaking to the customer rep and mentioned that i liked the older body style better than the new production models. She recommended inventory models. I'm getting way more car...

    Tesla will match Carmax price

    When i left Carmax i called Tesla specialist coordinating my delivery and mentioned what the carmax rep told me. She called me back the next day, Saturday. She laughed saying as of today you can bring in a carmax appraisal and Tesla will match the price and accept the trade in at a SvC. Which...

    Tesla will match Carmax price

    I am receiving my new P90DL on Saturday! Tesla offered my 47k for my ride - the guarantee that was negotiated with the original loan i made with Tesla in 2013. I took it to carmax on a whim this Friday and they offered me $52k No brainer what i should do. The crazy thing is that now Tesla as of...

    Ordering Advice

    If i were you, i would buy an inventory model. it's much cheaper and you will with a bit of patience find something you like. Most showroom models are designed to appeal. I have had the p85 and just went to carmax for an appraisal. my guarantee buy back from Tesla is 48k and CarMax will give me...

    AirPlay - Tesla falls further behind in Infotainment

    on the same principle...i don't understand why Tesla is the only car manufacturer that doesn't have the ability to have a voice command to dial the phone. You use voice command and then you have to choose from the flat screen the # you want to dial. Innefficient and dangerous. Also this is one...

    Supercharging ROI

    I just came back from the bay area and stopped at the Tejon Ranch SC and 2 of the bays definitely didn't work. there were 3 vehicles there and we all had to re adjust so that we could charge...luckily one of the cars was charging and pulled away as we were trying to figure out if it was our car...
