I called tesla insurance today to up the limits of my coverage on two cars. The App didn't respond when I repeatedly tapped the Modify Policy link hidden several layers deep. The automated phone voice told me the hold time would be over one hour. Wow. So I put my phone on the charger and went...

The preceding is all good advice Also remember that temperature affects the mileage number. At a constant 70% my 2020 LR+ shows between 254 and 262 depending on how cold it is. Teslas like moderate temperatures, if you are comfortable then it is comfortable.

My MX 2020 had wind noise from the small triangle on the passenger side. Fixed by Service Center in Tucson. They said it is a common problem.
