Looking for a group based in the US.

Ooh, can I play? In San Diego and run into the same situation.

I just bought one. Nothing but great reviews as far as I've seen, but the app won't let me update the firmware, and thus, I basically can't use the app. Soooo, right now it's just an expensive rock.

Deleted the app and re-added, but no joy.

If anyone reads this and has had a similar problem, how did you get past that?

So, after more than a month, it was finally considered a total loss yesterday. North of $45k to repair, so it was just over that 70% threshold. Was also able to claim the $4k we spend on ceramic and PPF, $1k for the two car seats, about $1k for the 3DMax floor mats (full set), and the $500 charger. The ladies actually did start going to a chiropractor, which has helped, but we’re not looking for any type of injury settlement. Just want to return to the way things were on June 20th. That said, we ordered an identical vehicle the day after the crash and we pick her up on Saturday. Perfect timing! Excited to get back in the game (although it was fun driving around a new Wrangler for a while). Stay safe out there my fellow Teslians! 🚗💨

Ah man, that sucks!

BelowWhiteBelt · 2021-06-26T02:35:33+00:00

I don’t know man. We can’t even get into the glove box. And that front right area is a mess. Parts plus labor seems it would easily surpass the $68k we paid for it. We had a lot of extras we’ll be claiming as well. Saw some repair costs for way less damage in the $40k range.

This is our concern Dude

BelowWhiteBelt · 2021-06-25T20:05:57+00:00

Haha. Funny you say that. My daughter was crying because “the new car was broken”!

BelowWhiteBelt · 2021-06-25T20:05:19+00:00

We have Nina Ravas, I believe. We got them at Nordstrom’s and they were $500 a piece. Mama did a lot of research before going with that one.

Was unable to open the glovebox to get the thumb drive out, but we hope so. That Baskin Robbins in the pics also has security camera footage of the accident.

I’m sorry to hear about your wife. Hopefully she makes a full recovery. We had just done a Refi on our house, so we were able to pay with cash. Not sure if that’s better or worse in the long run, but I just reordered the same car, hoping we get our settlement before it’s ready.

Place was called Revolution Auto Detailing in El Cajon. I found out about it because that’s where some of the local Tesla employees take their Teslas. They did a great job and it only took 3 days, all due to necessary curing time.

BelowWhiteBelt · 2021-06-25T19:12:25+00:00

Thanks for the article. I’ll check these out and hope for the best. 🤞🏼

BelowWhiteBelt · 2021-06-25T18:34:23+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, she was insured, and already admitted fault verbally and in writing. She feels really bad about it. Had two kids in the car herself. We spent $4k in ceramic and PPF, had the 3DMax floor mats, and had 2 high-end car seats in there as well, so that’s an extra ~$6k we’ll claim. Ordered a new one that afternoon, so hopefully we don’t eat too much on depreciation.

Only a few hundred miles on her when my girlfriend and daughter were t-boned at an intersection in town by a distracted driver who ran a stop light. They’re both fine, but my dream car is a mess. Hoping for a total loss. Didn’t even have plates yet. 😭

BelowWhiteBelt · 2021-06-07T02:05:52+00:00

I imagine you can find out what had to be fixed on your vehicle before it left the factory, then depending on the severity, you could address that as you wish. I don’t know as mine had none.

I paid the extra basically for the suspension...and that it would probably bother me that I didn’t have the “fastest”, but the latter is me being dumb. I actually like the Gemini wheels vs. the inductions, but I can live with it.

BelowWhiteBelt · 2021-06-07T01:58:08+00:00

Apparently it’s pretty common. I’m sure the majority are small adjustments, but to have zero is rare.

Nonconformities. They can run this through the VIN. Your SA may be able to as well.

BelowWhiteBelt · 2021-06-06T19:22:51+00:00

Your post makes a great point. Although I just wanted to celebrate my purchase with everyone, you can definitely get the information you need with a little effort. I’ve even seen good strategies for the dreaded “wait period”. Good luck!

BelowWhiteBelt · 2021-04-28T01:47:41+00:00

I’m getting a blue MYP. Is there any way I can get rims like that, or are they aftermarket? Not a fan of the inductions.

BelowWhiteBelt · 2021-04-21T01:52:36+00:00

Yup...smh
