I will take this up with my state's insurance regulator. Thank you for the advice.

They claimed the damage was due to wear and tear and thus not coverable.

I had comprehensive and coverage was declined.

I've never had a car NOT survive a rain storm, except for Tesla.

I had a 2014 Model S and drove it from New Jersey to my office in Massachusetts the day after Labor Day 2022. As you may recall, there was a huge nor’easter that day. Wet interstate and driving rains. I never drove through open water, just the deluge of a standard heavy rainstorm. That evening...

Frankly, I'm surprised there is no class action lawsuit about this.

I felt myself a fanboy due to the outstanding way the care drives and handles. So the let down was very bittersweet. I have read other reports of similar Tesla vintages dying after rain storms. I'm not aware of any damage to the battery from 8 years of driving and the care was serviced in...

I agree, I should have written ingress. Thank you for the grammatical correction.

I sold it for book value. My disappointment is that I had to invest $15K in order to get book value. Without this design flaw, my net would have been book value minus zero. So, color me disappointed. I'm not a troll -- check my profile. I had been an avid advocate for Tesla since buying my...

Sorry, not clear. Is it charging or not?

It was the cable, like TeslaTap said. This was repaired under warranty so I can't give you a cost estimate. Since that time, Scarlett has been clear sailing, except for last summer when she woke up dead 3 times, with 5 errors cycling through the instrument cluster. Car would not go into D, so...

Automate has been dead now for about a month. Anybody know how to get the developer to fix it?

My work is done here in Berwyn. I did have access to a Chargepoint station at my office so I was able to juice up before hitting the road. I'll have to check this SC out on another visit. Hope it opens for you guys during 2021! ;)
