    How can I make the “home” location more accurate

    I live on a corner house. I have entered my address as the home location. When I am navigating to my house, the car navigates to the street that is on the side of my house not the front of my house. Is there anyway to set the home location as my driveway or the street that the front of my house...

    Once again sc**wed by Tesla

    Now I am not a hater but just the opposite. I love my MYLR Tesla. I just don’t like being treated unfairly. First it’s was the lowering of the price (and trade in value) in Jan 2023 by a significant amount. Now it is offering FSD for the same price to upgrade to those who did not purchase EAP...

    Need advice on accident and claim

    there are also many things you can do to bring pressure on the insurance company to accept your appraisal. Reporting to the Better Business Bureau is one. Reporting to the insurance department of your state is another you must determine whether it is worth that effort to accomplish your goal.

    Need advice on accident and claim

    your insurance is considered first party insurance. The car that hit you or as you state the other car and then into you is third-party insurance. Since you pay the premium for your insurance, the obligation is theirs to fulfill the contractual terms. They have the right to get an appraisal of...

    My on going battle regarding my purchase of a used 2013 Model S P85+

    first of all, call your insurance company and find out if there is a difference in rates between a P 85 and a P 95. If there isn’t then there’s no big deal to you. If and when you sell, it just be accurate in your description of what your car is, and as the saying goes and the law is buyer...

    Tesla service nightmare

    It would seem that your remedy would be with. the dealer who sold it to you, not Tesla. Granted Tesla has a waranty but usually that is to the original owner. You have privity with the dealer not Tesla. The warranty provisions stated in the owners manual. (here in the US) state it applies to...

    Anyone else get 2024.2.12?

    Sirius XM

    I had the same problem. My solution was to download the Sirius app to my phone. And connect my phone to Tesla via wire. That worked so I transferred Sirius on my old vehicle to my sister. (don’t tell Sirius) ha ha

    how do you correct a GPS direction?

    WaWa is a chain of Gas Station convenience stores ( like 7-11, Dash In, Sheetze) mainly in Pa or De. The location of the supercharger is correct. If the voice was off and you just used the map, no problem. But with the voice direction on if it actually was on the left, voice directions say right...

    how do you correct a GPS direction?

    I have a 2023 model Y long range with premium. There is supercharging in a Wawa near me. Every time I navigate to the supercharger the voice direction tells me it’s on the opposite side that it is actually on. Both map views (satellite and graphic) are accurate as are the directions except for...

    New 240v outlet pulling 0 amps

    electrician, friend,mmmm . I am certainly no electrician, but I have done some minor wiring (not this) and made some minor mistakes. A friend like that causes me some suspicion. To check for the obvious. One is it wired correctly to the breaker? is it grounded correctly ? is the outlet a 14–50...

    The skull of my left (driver) side mirror has broken. How can I fix it?

    I had a similar situation with my Lexus. It turned out no matter which way you went. The cost was $1500. The problem is that the part comes unpainted and has to be primed, painted and clearcoated. Further, it Has to be hooked up which is labor cost. I wound up gluing the shell together and just...

    Charging cable management?

    A simple solution would be to purchase a screw in wall hanger at Lowe’s or Home Depot. The excess cable could be hung on that.

    Only get 150 kw max at supercharger in

    My house is less than 5 minutes from the supercharger so I do’nt expect preconditioning. However I recently took a 60 mile trip and started on Autopilot navigating back to the Supercharger. Temp was in the 50’s. Trip took an hour and 10 minutes. Mostly 50-55MPH. Preconditioning went on and off...

    Is there a reason to get the Tesla wall connector over other level 2 home chargers?

    I fail to understand your calculation of EXTRA cost between level 1 and Tesla wall Connector. The difference between the two is Amps. Amps is a measure of flow (speed).Cost per KW (amount delivered) is a dollar measure. Given the same amount of charge delivered the cost is the same. The time to...

    Vendor Thor's Hammer Inspired Tesla Cable Mount

    I think it is a stunning design. I don’t know how it mounts but I would suggest an upside down keyhole design. You would screw into the surface first then mount thru the wide portion of the keyhole and drop the unit down onto the narrow portion. Also I trust the grip portion that holds the wand...

    Tax credit question

    it is out and out fraud. Besides an IRS investigation which would cause additional taxes and penalty (although remote) you risk insurance fraud, which is less remote, and would deny you coverage in the event of any accident or claim.

    Collision with a Deer on motorway. HELP

    well, I cannot speak for other countries, in the US striking an animal is a driver fault claim. it is no different (as an example only) from striking a pedestrian. You are required when driving to anticipate circumstances such as animals or objects in the road and to drive and appropriate speed...

    trade in process

    My experience was quite good. Although Tesla was lower then Carmax or Carvana I choose to do it for the convenience and not having to ask a buddy to drive 50 miles to the dealer and drop me off. There was always the possibility that Carmax or Carvana would lower the price.

    first of all, what you were talking about is a third-party claim. The adjuster for the insurance company, ensuring the person who had the accident with you he’s under no obligation to provide you with a rental car. His only obligation is to protect the interest of the party that he insures as...

    Totalled Tesla Model Y Performance: First-party claim or third-party claim?

    True. Using his own insurance will be notice to them and IF the other party or his insurance (called subrogation) sue then his company will defend. In all probability once they have received notice of this type of claim they will order a police report.

    Basic Insurance Claim Question(s)

    I’ll try to answer your questions.AAA is the third party insurer. Any money you accept from the is considered a settlement ( whether or not you sign a release.) What you do with that money is your business ,even if you elect not to repair the car. the same goes for their rental reimbursement.
