Hello
I'm from France and I will soon get my tesla model S, and now, more and more, I realize that I will be afraid to go everywhere with Model S
For example, I will hesitate to go supermarkets, because parking are not very large, and I will certainly have other cars parking next to mine and their drivers won't care about hiting Model S when they will open their door.
In some cities, if there isn't any place in front of house where I will be invited, I will not be relax to know my car is parked in another street without any security watch, especially if it is in a not very safe neighborhood, some people don't like to see cars they can't afford, and will have pleasure to damage it. I asked invoice proforma to insurances, and in case of damage,
insurance deductible is between 1000 and 2600 euros !!! so for this price, I am asking myself if I should have a second car old and unattractive to go out to places I'am not 100% sure.
I took option "security package" when I ordered car. But i don't know in the case where something happens to the Model S, does security package can send a SMS to my phone immediatly ?
Another point is that in France, a lot of people are not ready to pay as higher to have a Model S, when I try to explain them that it is not as expansive as they think, because of nearly no cost of fuel , and economies done on services etc... They don't want to understand, and many of them are also anti Nuclear and would be able to be anti Tesla too, even if I told them i have on my house, solar pannels able to cover about 11000 miles per year.
Sometimes, do you have to hedge price you paid for Model S, to be peaceful ? I know I have no problem to talk about price with people I know that have a high income level, but with others, I try not to say price....
Thanks for your advices and personal experiences
