    State Farm insurance for S90D vs S75 vs P100 price difference

    That's about right, slightly higher in CA with state farm for P100. I went with Tesla insurance for P100 2019 for 150/month, maximum coverage and highest deductible and no tickets and clean driving records and all the best conditions for rates, like age, commute, location, kids, education etc...

    IRO DashCam - Model S AP2 unboxing

    I would recommend going with MLO/high endurance/pro endurance SD card as they have much longer life. All these cards have limited times you can write to it and the high endurance versions have much more write times than the regular ones.

    How to file complaint against specific employee?

    They will get back to you if you file a complaint with BBB (better business bureau) people underestimate what the BBB rating does to businesses. It has worked for me with Tesla.

    Model S range and interior update imminent?

    Dont get me started on the poor everything in the car. Even a 70's car squirts water with a better coverage on the windshield than MS, but there are no other alternatives to this car that has better drive or performance at a similar price point. Just for that I will be driving it for a long time....

    Premium connectivity scam from Tesla

    it is $99 per year so it is not a deciding factor for any car buying or keeping old cars without upgrading. Other car manufacturers who offer connectivity do the same at much higher costs. Compared to FSD that was never delivered, you could have got 50 years of free premium connectivity for the...

    Tesla insurance!

    The Ameriprise dont work well for expensive cars (100K) or homes (1Mil) their coverage is capped and limited. I worked with them for 2 days to see how I can get better coverage and with lower coverage and getting to their cap limits made the premium higher than all others.

    Have there been studies on possible health effects of ev's?

    I think the more harmful effect is the effect of acceleration and addiction. Once you try a Tesla (not just any EV) its like a drug you are addicted. The manual does not state anything about addiction. Regarding acceleration I am sure it has some effect. Moving the brain back and all the blood...

    Service Bulletin out on Hard Acceleration "Shudder"

    How do you know it has been limited, just by how you feel. That is tough to prove. I am sure there is something that you can measure the acceleration and take Tesla to task. Also the SW upgrade they can do it without your permission. There is a loophole they have, which is they can update the...

    Tesla wins in Michigan!!!

    I was in Texas last week and was wondering why I saw only 2 Tesla's in a whole week. There was a small possibility I could have moved to Texas, now it is no way. Gas is cheap and soon people will probably get 18 wheelers to commute because it is a big truck and be proud of it.

    When can we expect to see a CCS Adapter for the Model S?

    When Tesla can go L3 charging with the same small connector I wonder what is the reasoning for having a big connector? Do European cars have to lift up the head lights to get to the connector :p.

    Strange noise on full throttle acceleration. Any ideas??

    I have the same problem and it seems to be getting worse and it also seems to be coming from the rear. 9/19 P100. I so much hate to go to the service center.

    Tesla should stop wasting $100s on Uber credits and offer customers the choice to wait

    I avoid going to the service center. I have a couple of issues like the shudder on hard acceleration and a few other in my new car but have no motivation to go to the service center. I guess their method works in a way of profit for them.

    Model S: Is the white interior too hard to keep clean?

    Ignoring all the cons the best part is, you will keep the car extra clean and it feels real nice and clean every time you get in. My reason for getting a light interior is during hot summers the seats and interior feels way cooler. If the car had cooled seats I would have considered darker interior.

    7th Headlight went bad (Rant)

    or headlights are like tires they need replacement often with use and not covered under warranty :-) But 7 in 2 years wow, its time to check mine, probably people never noticed it and that's why it's not taken out of the warranty. It looks like the LED's have gone dim on one side not OFF, maybe...

    Sudden Unintended Acceleration

    The car was accelerating when I braked and yes the brake overpowered the car and stopped it. It happened at speeds less than 10Mph. I am not sure if you are reading all the posts or just picking for ridicule!. There is always two sides to the story, for the "closed minded" people here is...

    Mercedes S-class vs Tesla

    I think it is personality dependent. My wife got the S class I got the model S. I would always prefer to drive the MS any day. MS feels like humming bird with precision speed and control with amazing performance vs the ICE which feels like a Raven :-). I dont trust the self driving yet and more...

    Once you drive a tesla it is difficult to go back to any other car. The drive and feel is amazing. There is no other car on the market at this price that has this performance and feel. But it does not mean it compares in luxury of other luxury cars. My wife has the Mercedes S class and I...

    Sudden Unintended Acceleration

    This is probably what is happening or happened.

That is what happened to me no sudden high speed...

    This is exactly what I have, It also has low deductible for glass breakage, which Gieco did not (for me when I was with Gieco). It also includes car rental coverage. There are so many factors that affect the cost of insurance, your best bet is to get multiple quotes and decide. I am not sure...

    Sudden Unintended Acceleration

    Well it was on one pedal driving, and did not stop when foot taken off pedal. Comments like this is exactly why I did not bother posting when it happened. I am sure Tesla logs and monitors all activities, maybe that's why there was a SW update the same night.

    Can I cause any harm by switching from Drive to Reverese at < 5mph?

    Today I observed how it feels to suddenly switch at 5mph, it does not instantly switch it decelerates then slowly accelerates, I dont see any harm that can happen from this switch.

    Can I cause any harm by switching from Drive to Reverese at < 5mph?

    I do that every day and I love that I dont have to hit the brakes nor take the foot of the accelerator. For the level of acceleration the car has the small torque change at <5 mph should contribute to no structural damage.

    If full FSD is approved tomorrow what do you think the price of FSD option be?

    The price depends on many factors, one of it would be who is liable for accidents. if it is Tesla, you can guess the cost. if you are responsible for the liability like today's auto pilot, they might offer it on sale for <5000 for a month.
