That's the date the EU certified that the vehicle meets all necessary EU regulatory standards for safety and emissions. It is not the Model year of the vehicle. Use a Vin checker and see what your vin info says. Edit: Ignore this post. I see that you posted more info. I should have read the...

Can confirm. I had to purchase Auto Pilot for my 2018 Model 3. If you can see the option in your app under software updates then you need to purchase it. If not then something else is going on. I for one am dealing with the annoying issues of buying a used 2021 Model Y from tesla themselves and...

MichaelP90DL, you're inspiring man. I'm in my 50's and only got into a Tesla in the last 2ishyears. I'm full throttle getting a Plaid before I drop dead that's for damn sure. I refuse to test drive one because I know damn well what's gonna happen lol. Anyway, I told my wife as soon as all our...

It's gonna look likw a mixture between the Cyber Truck and Model X to hold multiple passengers comfortably, with easy entry doors and built like a tank for a sense of safety. Image Generated using Chat GPT DALL-E because I have no talent at creating my own concepts.

Nice lineup! I owned a 2002 Saturn. Slow as a snail and through the years was always harassed by people driving cars similar to the ones you have. They'd just go around me loud AF and speed off into the distance. By my 40's I've grown used to it. Anyhow, ever since 2016 when Tesla's started...

Well folks. Just an FYI. The Claim is complete. I got awarded what I owed on the vehicle so that was cool. Also got a few bucks from the Bodily Injury side for the inconvenience which was nice of them. I've placed an order for a 2021 Model Y with FSD and Acceleration boost. So all turned out...

Considering levels of safety, the Tesla's interpretation is spot on. :D I do agree that using multiple points of reference before changing lanes is the best practice. While it may not eliminate accidents entirely, it significantly enhances safety on the road.

The Tesla Certified Shop estimates repair costs to be slightly above 40k (after full tear down). It seems likely the car will be considered a total loss unless the insurance company values it at over 50k. BTW - Sorry for being snippy to everyone, none of you deserved that to be honest.

I understand and agree with the potential, but I don't necessarily concur with my story being labeled as dubious, along with assumptions made about my character. While it's reasonable to find the explanation confusing, my response to these mischaracterizations is equally reasonable.

I'd like to go into this a little . Here is what the issue was. The rental car caught a flat, and rightfully requires the tire be replaced. If my car wasn't damaged by the at fault driver I wouldn't be getting a rental car in the first place. In fact State Farm booked this vehicle not me so they...

I forgot a detail. Progressive initiated the State Farm claim under Lyfts policy. When Progressive told us about them declining the claim they provided us with the Claim number they had already established under Lyft's policy. This leading to the issues explained above about only being directed...

Let me rephrase my answer a little. I think I get what you're asking. They cut a check for 10k to me, in my name only. They paid the shop directly for the two tows they charged and that was it. They then (rightfully) refused to pay their other ridiculous fees. The scummy shop wasn't getting a...

They cut a check for the estimated repairs while it was at the questionable repair shop (that had it sit in the front of their shop untouched for 18 days, didn't attempt to charge it or anything. Just took pictures and sent it to the assigned claims appraiser at the time. The Tesla certified...

The way you're phrasing what I've written is dumb. Lets not try to move the goal post to discussions about a demographic and have a personal discussion instead. Care to explain what you believe is fishy about my posts?

BTW this statement turned out to be false. The vehicle is now at a different shop (because the other one was clearly ambulance chasing) and the process has started again, this time the claim has been moved to the total loss department. I'm sure this post will somehow come off fishy to your pea...

I purchased a replacement from Tesla because I broke the original while removing it. I guess I ordered the wrong one?

The claim was originally filed with Progressive. Progressive learned that their at fault policy holder was driving for Lyft. Lyft uses state farm. A claim was established with Lyft under state farm. I am a policy holder of state farm. As such when I called state farm and eventually get anyone on...

Like what? got any examples?

For clarification I did not "dump towing/repair selection" on my wife. I superficially said she accepted the assistance of a gentleman that seemed on the up and up on the scene. both of our names are on the car. She didn't want it towed by the city and rather than wait (like I suggested) until...

Oh wow. Changed my mind mind again. Just saw the two posts prior to mine and it's more mean spirited rubbish.

I know I said I wouldn't post anymore. But I think it's important for others to know about my experience. Writing from my phone right now so can't get into details because writing from a phone is not optimal But I will post more info about this soon. A warning to those who may not know about...

Wife agreed to let someone tow the car, but the husband was driving. She came the the scene in our other car. IT happened a 5 to 10 minute walk from home. Insurance company sent $10,000 to repair the car, but people think the car is going to be totaled. What? I'm not adjuster, however if it...

Today, my plan is to engage in discussions with both the auto shop and adjuster to seek a resolution. My strategy involves leveraging the shop's text messages, which inaccurately claimed they had all necessary resources to service Teslas—a point clearly disproven by their inability to charge my...

The situation with my car ending up at that particular shop unfolded due to an inability to reach anyone at State Farm by phone on the day of the accident and for the entire following week, despite my efforts of calling ten times daily. The incident itself was clear-cut, with the at-fault driver...

The at fault drivers insurance company refused to pay $1000 tow for a 2 mile trip. $1000? I don't blame them. And if they think that's a lot (which I agree) you think I'm going to pay for that? :) Shop wasn't releasing the car until they are paid. So rather than have the Tesla sit there...

Ok so I took the time to research Tesla's warranty on the drive train and blah blah. Apparently the warranty is voided upon accidents. :confused:I suppose there is no point in moving it to a Tesla certified Shop.

For the record I attempted to relocate the car immediately, but the shop insisted on payment from the at-fault driver's insurance for two tows and labor costs, which the adjuster deemed above market rate. The adjuster specified their liability covers only two tows, leaving me responsible for any...

Yes. The shop conducted a virtual estimate by sending photos at the estimator's request. However, the estimate lacks details on structural or internal damage. State Farm said the 10k payment is for the repairs (to get things moving along) and if more damages are discovered either more money...

Strange. The insurance company cut a check for the repair estimate. An estimate that doesn't even include a teardown of the car to check for underlying issues. I called and they said it is normal that they send payment for the estimate to get things moving along and if more damage is found they...

The tire was tilted sideways though, like 1:30 sideways at the top end. Not sure what transferred into the car from that T-bone. If it was a swipe I'd be less inclined to consider it totaled.

Yeah, no bags deployed and I didn't smell anything weird nor did I see any fluid on the ground when it was towed away.

Another thing I'm concerned about is I was heading to a supercharger as I was approaching 20% when the accident occurred. The shop was given the mobile charger the next day but my app shows the car at 0% charge for 14 days straight. o_O

Shipped over seas? Interesting. Well I for one hope it's deemed a total loss. I'm not looking forward to dealing with the circus of having the shop that did the estimates hand it over to a tesla certified shop who would like not accept their estimate. I'd probably have to pay for that.

Oh and the driver was driving for Lyft as well at the time. Had a passenger.

The incident occurred at a 4-way stop; the driver who was at fault ignored the stop sign and collided with me at approximately 30 MPH while I was crossing the intersection. The initial damage estimate is $10,000. However, there's a concern: my car was towed to a non-Tesla certified shop because...

Yup, another one of those threads. What say you? Totaled or fixable?
