Pretty sure if you break a windshield it's $1,600 at a tesla dealer. I wonder if Geico's and their free glass coverage realize that yet.

I doubt they do any predictive modeling. Just keep the good old last year's regressions and put some margins on top...

Less than that. I had the S windshield replaced twice (rocks are rather prevalent in Arizona...). Both times covered by insurance, but I had Tesla do the work and submitted the claim. Was under $1k installed...

They keep rolling out more and more advanced shit... I finally got selected for this update...

Keys are good. Non unlimited supercharging is less good. I guess I’ll ask for my 5K back?

Also it’s been a month and I still haven’t received any instructions on how to pay the loan on my car.

Did it always say that or did it just change? A lot of people were complaining their supercharging wasn't free but that they were promised it would be once they figured out how to make it happen, and you'd be reimbursed for any expenses.

I just have to sit and wait for these software updates, right? I got an email saying it's coming and to put my car on wifi... But it's there and plugged in for 7 hours and no updates. Maybe it's always in the middle of the night???

I’m not sure. They changed the layout of the account page; I don’t remember seeing anything about supercharger status before.

I did supercharge the day after I got the car and didn’t get charged, afaik, so who knows?

I believe the brake lights are triggered by rate of decel, so yes, they come on if you're slowing enough by enabling regen.

What John said. The brake lights come on once it kicks in over a certain threshold.

When I drive an ICE vehicle I go around the first 3 corners way too fast because I forget that I need to hit the brakes.

The layout of that web site is infuriating.
