You cannot file for DV from your own insurance company in CA. You would have to sue the at-fault party (which would then get Mercury involved) for DV. edit: I am not a lawyer either, but have worked in the insurance industry for over 25 years.

Great news. Thanks for updating.

I live roughly 20 miles (30 minutes) from a service center. That is about as far away as I would want to be while owning a Tesla.

Did you formerly drive a BMW? :)

The Corolla is the most popular (highest number of sales at 1.12 million cars) in the world. OP wants a Tesla Model Y. But yeah, one should be easily obtained in Georgia.

At least you are right in front of a repair shop. 😂

So, introduced in 2020? 😂

You can get DV from your own company in (I think) two states. MA and GA (two states I haven’t worked with). I wouldn’t be surprised to see State Farm punt completely on a DV claim in this case and tell the OP he can sue the at fault party for the claim.

Back when I had my S I did the HEPA filter myself. When it came time to change it, mobile did it and the tech added the button for me. At least on the S it was as simple as telling the car you had the filter, or words to that effect. It is likely similar for the Y.

They only watch on Saturday Night.

From an insurance company’s perspective, there are two things we look at regarding accidents. Frequency and Severity. If you drive a car that doesn’t get into many accidents (low frequency) and doesn’t cost a fortune to remedy (low severity, including physical damage, bodily injury, etc.) it...

Those things lining up for you will make it easier (I’m not saying easy, but easier) for you. There is nothing easy about getting into a crash and needing your car fixed.

There is software that all insurers use for valuation. The number will rarely be exactly what someone expects, but objectively reasonable. If the car is repaired keep in mind: You absolutely have the right to have the car repaired wherever you want. The insurance company has the right to pay...

Correct. They would pay out as close to the value as possible. Sales tax and any extra registration costs would be covered. —so if it would cost you an extra $100 because of some rule, that gets paid too, but not just regular yearly cost.

The insurance company needs to take care of their policyholder while following applicable state laws. (Which is why you will sometimes see insurance companies defending drivers that do horrendous things - they have to) If it is cheaper to pay the cash value of the car, they will. If it is...

Esurance IS Allstate, not a separate company.

Why are you sitting in filth instead of cleaning the seats?

If you live in NYC, that helps explain the high cost. You have insurance to protect yourself from financial ruin. If you experience a total loss are you prepared to just eat the expense? If so, great. If an uninsured person hits you, can you afford it? If you can financially afford to not...

While you took good pictures and the spot is clearly visible, it is hard to tell from the picture. with the steps you have already taken, looking at it, again, hard to tell from the pictures, it seems like it may be an actual issue with the clear coat. If you gently rub your finger over it, do...

For your first NAF, your rates won’t go up. There is however, a correlation with losses and people that keep getting into NAFs, so rates could go up because of that in the future. Right now rates are going up because everything in the repair process is really expensive And insurance companies...

I don’t know what color mine are. I am color blind.

i didn‘t mention anyone in particular.

There are always those that are a drag on society.

You have insurance to protect yourself financially. In the case here, the other driver had minimum limits. She is still responsible for all of the damages. Using round numbers, there was $60k in damage done through her fault. She had herself covered for $10k. She is still responsible for the...

You won’t be able to go after her insurance company. They have a responsibility to her (their insured) and will pay out the agreed upon amount, sadly only $10k. At that point, they are done. You really have two options, hire a lawyer to go after her personally OR file through your Underinsured...

Wow, it just works for me.

Absolutely in that one. (It is the default slacker account with the premium connectivity)

Yes, just expand the music card by swiping up and you will get the scroll bar to move forward and back in a song.

Black is the best look for just about any car. For the first 5 minutes after washing that is. Keeping a black car clean and looking good is a career. My Vette is black, only driven in good weather and it is still a pain to keep clean.

It is hard when people bring logic into the equation! You will need to charge either car once you get into PA, so it doesn’t save time.

They will most likely tell you to replace two tires so the tires on each axel match. They have a valid point, but it really depends on your tread depth.

With that chunk missing from the sidewall, I would replace it. Tires are just too import.

The federal requirement is you can’t buy it for resale. So an auditor gone crazy can cause a slight headache, but shouldn’t be a problem.

If they are only visible under UV light, don’t worry about them. I just coated my new Y last week (Adam’s Advanced as well) and didn’t even use the UV light to check as it wasn’t my first time. They are probably just high spots in the coating and will not cause any harm.

If you are getting financing though Tesla (well, whoever they send you to) it is no issue. It took about 4 seconds to get approved after I submitted my info.

Well, FSD on city streets is scheduled for later that year……..

If you buy a qualifying car every year, yes. I just picked up my 5th car (over more than a decade) that qualifies. Additionally, if you have a tax liability of at least $15,000 you can get two a year. Tax liability of $22,500, go ahead and buy three, etc.

I was in Zurich over the weekend and happened to walk by the Tesla store. They had the MYP in the quicksilver in the showroom. That color is STUNNING.

How did you get the ACH option. The app wouldn’t give me that so I got a cashiers check. Now way was I going to give Tesla the right to know and keep my banking information. Even when you opt out they have the right to keep all the data before that day.

Unless it is a Roth 401k Contribution, which is a good way to increase your tax liability if needed.

You should probably do a strip wash and clay bar, then polish if needed before applying the coating.

For an additional $2,800 you can get a new one (net of tax credit) that is 2 years newer and has 28,000 fewer miles.

Assuming enhanced is enhanced autopilot, the only thing I would miss is having the car change lanes when I put the turn signal on. Without EAP I believe you must disengage AP then change lanes and re-engage. I don’t find navigate on autopilot worth anything (it really sucks at exiting the...

And if you are focusing on driving, how do you notice?

it looks like you can now print your own Ohio temp tag. https://www.cleveland19.com/2020/08/21/ohio-bmv-print-your-temporary-tag-online/

If you took delivery in 2022 the tax credit is an easy calculation. Zero.

Not much to add to the conversation, but you do have two number fours in your list. 😁

Opening the network removes what is probably the biggest reason to buy a Tesla. If I can charge another brand as easily, I won’t even think of buying another Tesla.

Yeah, that was a shock. I had to stop the video. I might be able to finish it later knowing what to expect, but maybe not, I have another 12 minutes to go!

He is well beyond having roadside coverage from Tesla, but their responses were terrible.
