    Model S Trunk Liftgate Head Injury zone after struts replaced

    Update: Tesla Service had to reconfigure and recalibrate the powered trunk / liftgate strut. The whole process took about 20 minutes. Now it works great , Opens like previous. So no more possibilities of head trauma or concussions 🤓 Thanks everyone for your help.

I call this the head injury/ concussion zone … then it stopped working. Now only opens and closes automatically up to about 41 inches...

    State Farm insurance raising rates on Tesla Model S in Ohio

    State Farm said that all the texting/distracted driving is making them pay out more money. They didn't blame it on the Tesla ... so all the rates are going up :( Yes I pull for Lewis ... he sure was working hard to win the Spanish Grand Prix. During the race breathing hard in radio transmissions.

    Got the answer from XPEL "We have many customers that have taken their car through automatic car washes and it was okay. It will not void the warranty on XPEL. Although, if your car is not fully wrapped with XPEL ULTIMATE, you may have to worry about the swirl marks on the non-wrapped panels."
