    Autopilot, Crash and Insurance - Who at Fault?

    This has really nothing to do with autopilot.. The car came into your lane. Whether you avoided it or not, he crossed into your lane. A dash cam would go along way to help here, but I hope there is a witness that can help you.

    Can I do a long road trip soon after getting my new car

    I flew to Denver and picked mine up and drove it back to Houston. I would ask them to charge it to 100% so that you can get on the road, also be wary of your distance, if it is below 50F you will have some range loss due to the battery heating. Have a great trip!

    Tesla Incapacitated on Xmas

    What was absolutely crazy was after about 20 seconds the brakes started vibrating like ABS engaged and the speakers were making a clicking noise like interference. The service technician was really nice and gave those instructions, but in the end, it rebooted on its own. I truly suspect they...
