    Tesla insurance

    I called tesla insurance today to up the limits of my coverage on two cars. The App didn't respond when I repeatedly tapped the Modify Policy link hidden several layers deep.

    Refresh Model X 3% Range Loss First 4,000 miles

    The preceding is all good advice Also remember that temperature affects the mileage number. At a constant 70% my 2020 LR+ shows between 254 and 262 depending on how cold it is. Teslas like moderate temperatures, if you are comfortable then it is comfortable.

    NTHSA Investigating Tesla over growing Phantom Braking complaints

    Tesla Insurance

    Got a nice letter from AZ DOT that my MX was not insured. Went to the AZDOT website to update but the insurance company code is not listed on any of the Tesla documents. A quick call to Tesla insurance provided the code. Should be updated automatically in the future.

    Safety Score Impressions

    This “Safety” Score thing is not wholly dependent on the driver It is also rating your driving environment I feel sorry for people who live in places where a Mad Max attitude rules the road Overall this is a pretty smart way to figure out risk

    Safety Score Impressions

    I have noticed that there is no deduction for hard acceleration. So when you come to a stoplight going from green to red just press hard on the go pedal and cruise through the intersection at 85 or so. This is the way Tesla encourages safe driving. As for the following too close driving between...
