    Tesla insurance safety score version

    Did Glenn tell you which states are that? I am in 2.0 now but I think others in Texas already have it for a while before I got upgraded to 2.0, certainly is more than 6 months. As usual Tesla has some secret, mysterious or somehow incompetent ways to tell customer and I hoped Glenn is not...

    Wall vs Mobile vs @#$%

    I used to have a clipper creek HCS-40 plugged in to a 6-50 outlet (still working after 10 years), now they are owned by Enphase, they also have plugged in wall charger 14-50. I used to have a Leaf 10 years ago and have been using the J1772 charger with the adapter for my Tesla for years without...

    Tesla insurance safety score version

    One suggestion - not sure it will help though ... try to recalibrate the cameras. If you have any neighbor that has Tesla, you can also ask them about it, I have read similar cases on this forum. A long shot will be request a service ...

    Will legacy ever see V12?

    I got nagged all the time now with the new version, on the city if I just relaxed for may be 10s or so, it will warn me. On the highway seems to be better for me, really have to train myself for the city. On the bright side, it has great improvements. .. On the way home, after the highway...

    Yes, I just experienced this. suppose to turn left on 1st st in xxx feet, slowed down dramatically, somehow didn't turn but quickly (seems to be a tremendous improvement) changed its mind to to make the turn down the road... In previous release, I also have a particular exit on highway...

    Model X Crash on US-101 (Mountain View, CA)

    As much sympathy as I have on the deceased, I am not sure why Tesla is willing to settle it, maybe it is about publicity or hassle of long litigation only hurt FSD, especially if it becomes a public court, social media fiasco then it will be a total distraction and really a no win for everyone...

    About Insurance Rates

    That's typical the expensive part of all the policy that I have insured with before. In these days, vehicles are getting more and more expensive not to mention any bodily injury can result in lawsuit, some companies recommend increase the coverage from the minimal and possibly have an umbrella...

    About Insurance Rates

    Many factors can affect each individual rate, though we tend to think I did nothing wrong and my rates should stay the same ... For the past few years, major car insurance companies are actually losing money, so an increase across the board is expected. Accidents, repair costs, brands are...

    Would my 2024 Model S LR survive being unplugged for 2.5 months?

    Based on observations from different posts, some posts of newer 3/Y model owners reported losing 1% per week but I lose around 1% per day, another owner reported similar, although Tesla stated to expect 1% per day.

    Would my 2024 Model S LR survive being unplugged for 2.5 months?

    Model S usually uses more than 3/Y. I suggest you try it first for few days, turn off sentry, cabin heat protection and see how much you lose each day and then determine your strategy. I have an older S and lose about 1% a day with everything off, another forum member mentioned similar but...

    Model S 2018 worth keeping before battery warranty expires?

    Some has reported the battery health test is not available especially older models, I don't have it neither. I estimated it by the rated miles and charge percentage, since I owned the car from the very beginning, so I know roughly the degradation percentage, I lost around 11%.

    Model S 2018 worth keeping before battery warranty expires?

    You can check the terms of the warranty in the app. For older battery, it is covered 8 years unlimited miles but degradation is not covered. Newer battery has mileage limitation and also degradation percentage coverage (over 70%, 150k miles). I think some has done battery health test in...

    Tesla Insurance - Any way to talk to a live human?

    I have filed claim before and everything is smooth, lessons learned: 1) Never tried to call the main or try to find a live person to talk to, it only adds to frustration. 2) Ask questions in the app. 3) My adjuster gave her number to text to, I use that for communication and everything is...

    Tesla wants to replace my Model Y Standard Range battery pack with an LFP pack

    It sounds like a no brainer to me. One concern is if in the future, if after an accident, when the shop has to order parts using the VIN, then the system may not have the upgraded components in the database, so you have to make sure they are aware of that and they are modifications done by...

    Am I crazy? Model Y without home charger...

    I think it should work for you, especially if you still have another vehicle. I bet you will quickly learn when, where and how to keep it charged to fits your needs, just pay attention in extreme weather or cold blizzard conditions, warming and charging takes more time and the battery will...

    Am I crazy? Model Y without home charger...

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology

    battery drain airport parking

    It seems to me the newer models are more efficient. I just came back from vacation for 3 weeks, I left the car at home garage not plugged in. Sentry and cabin heat protection are off, wifi connected, have scheduled charging on. I never checked the app but I did got a software update install...

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology

    Thus is very fishy. The companies filed on 6/6/23 and then went out of business in September! It only bought certain assets but not actually acquired the tech, yet it registered 057companies as an DNS alias as 057tech (resolved to the same IP address), who will do that? Are they aware this...

    Another Tesla Insurance Rate Increase! Seriously Tesla?

    I claimed before, it is very professional end to end, everything is answered promptly. I also use Tesla collision center which is also exceptional. Everything is handled via the app or text messages with the adjuster.

    FCW sucks, but you may try to contact service or calibrate the camera to see if it makes any differences, also I expect newer car will be more expensive but the differences are huge.

    Sounds too good to be true - My rate doesn't go up after filing a collision claim with Tesla Insurance?

    The downside of it is once you got so dependent on AP for the sake of saving money, you became numbed and actually slower to respond to an emergency situation and if you ever switch to non Tesla vehicle, it will take a bit of time to regain the alertness. Once there is a multi vehicle...

    A/C filter

    Are you talking about the cabin / HEPA filter or something else ? The mobile tech replaced both including labor for slightly over 300, frankly I can easily do it myself. If this is something else like the AC deciccant bag then it is different thing ..

    A/C filter

    Tesla's price is not that different from others. 1.5 years ago the big HEPA cost $200, and the cabin AC filter is only $8 from Tesla for my 2017 MS. You should be able to order it through the app.

    Need Advice on allstate declaring my bumper/panel damage totaled!

    I suggest getting another quote or may be from Tesla collision center, 20K+ seems high based on my experience, but if AllState thinks your car only worth 4k, it doesn't matter where you get the quote, it definitely cost more than that to fix it, seems like they super low ball the worth of the...

    Another Tesla Insurance Rate Increase! Seriously Tesla?

    Realistically, there aren't lots of choices of insurance companies. Statefarm has a net loss of 12 billions last year and 6 billions previous year, others may not fair well also. If the state regular rejects the rate hikes then they can pull out, in the end only hurting the customers with...

    Need Advice on allstate declaring my bumper/panel damage totaled!

    Do you have the actual quote ? Last August/Sep, I replaced my rear quarter panel, rear door, rocker panel, repainted everything include the front driver door. Total is 11K with Tesla insurance at Tesla Collision Center, without it should be around 14-15k, I don't have any inside damage though.

    I am in Texas and have been using Tesla insurance for more than 2 years, it is substantially cheaper than others and higher coverage. They even lowered mine slightly since I drove less.

    Are acoustic tires noticeably quieter?

    I read somewhere, it is designed to absorb vibration, so you will notice it if you go over bumps frequently, I don't feel any differences in regular service and there aren't many bumps in my route, the rail road track near me is the smooth type.

    Michelin Primacy MXM4 sucks!

    Lucky you, are your miles mostly highway? I never be able to get more than 22k in any set even with regular rotations. I never drive aggressively, but lots of short local trips.
