Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
Why not? You absolutely should. You don't do it asking for something. That's just gravy if it happens. You do it touting the outcome from a safety perspective and let them react as they may. Something like, "I fear my @Tesla is totaled, but this could have been so much worse. It's amazing how little damage was done to the cabin and to me. Thanks @ElonMusk"
And you could go really sappy and say something like "thank you for allowing me to spend the holidays with my friends in family in my own home, rather than a hospital bed."
Nah, I need a rental. With the lag time there is on getting a new Tesla I might have to have it for a while.
Once they total the car out usually you have only a day or two to return the rental. In some rare situations the insured will give you access to discount rates, but that usually isn't some screaming deal.
Your video is all you need. I've been in the exact same type of wreck before. The only issue they will have is unwinding car 2 and car 1 situation. You being car 3. Car 2 and Car 1 might not know you have the video and they might play set back games with car 2.
Please keep us updated on what you decide and why (assuming the totaled 3 of course). I’ve been squarely on this fence (3 vs used S) for months now.
Still no word on if I'm totaled or not, but from everything I've read and posted on other Tesla message boards...shes a goner. I'm gonna stick with the approach of having to find something new for the time being.
Buy a 3 now and a CyberTruck in a couple years to replace the Honda. It has all kinds of room and looks like it will be functionally better than the X in every way and be able to do a lot more on top of that.
How are you supposed to differentiate the 2016 75D (for example) from that worksheet?that is a nice link. thanks
I mean what exactly are you expecting? There are a limited number of elements on the periodic table.
I'm expecting these things to become more efficient - either by them or someone else entering this market. Either to produce (thus making them cheaper), to charge, to travel, or something else. Maybe range as my example above wasn't great (220 miles is more than enough for me) - just mean that BEVs in the big scheme of things are a pretty new type of technology. While I'd love to have one, I don't want to spend $45-50k on one that will either be selling for $30k in a year or two, or even obsolete (or on it's way to being so) from some other technology.
There's always going to be new tech. Just get in when you have the need. If you are waiting for the top end of what could be you will never get in.
One could argue the Leaf already has better battery tech. Nissan just never understood their buyers true motivations when they designed the Leaf. Look at the stupid name for the answer. Their buyers wanted cool, fast, high tech, fun to drive cars. Nissan thought they wanted to save the environment.
Daily driver? No. But it would be nice to not NEED another car to be able to confidently drive 300-350 miles to Las Vegas or San Diego without HAVING to stop to charge.
If this is a once in a year or quarter thing then I just don't understand the hangup. If you can't spare the extra half hour at a supercharger each way then not sure what to tell you. Seems like such a small concern for a narrow use case
LOL, one could argue anything.
The capacity degradation was only the first generation and nowhere close to 30-50%. I can build cells out of 18650's but don't because the BMS is much more complex and they do require thermal management, even for golf carts and power walls.
Found this website to be helpful in deciding which one to buy. Still undecided, but leaning towards the X 90D again. I plugged in a few of our routine family destinations like Disney and the beach and it paints a pretty accurate picture of your the time you'd spend at a SC. It it definitely longer to charge, but honestly doing it once or twice a year I can get over it.that is a nice link. thanks
If I understand, you mean the difference in the early April 2016-Sept 16 and the Oct 2016-June 2017?
I'd like to see the third row. After shopping this weekend with the wife we looked at a lot of these cross over SUV's. Most had a 3rd row, most seemed fairly unusable. If I think a kid can get back there and be comfy, I'll get the Y. Otherwise I'll get the 3 again. I think the 3 is a Sleeker design, plus you get a bump in range and acceleration.
I think you and I are in a similar situation with the Y, at least with it's size. You need a usable third row, I'd like for it to be able to tow at least 3,500 pounds safely. It may end up being just a bit too small, and the Subaru that you got is on our list for when my RAV4 is replaced.
That was just his guess, and he hasn't seen the video. He was just basing that off of what I told him, and my phrasing of it "likely" being totaled (I'm sure it will be).
It was a company van. I'm surprised you don't have lawyers cold calling you. Seriously.
