I'm not an expert on Tesla, but apparently they do (or can - at least for some models). The owner of this high mileage Model S was offered the option to purchase a new (larger - 90 kWh) battery, when his battery (75 kWh) wasn't giving full charge anymore. As I recall, the new battery would have...

I think that Rivian already did this (so it is unlikely to happen again). It is my understanding that available kWh (now listed as 131 kWh) is higher that it was previously (estimated at 128 or 129).

Rivian has had an ongoing issue where the wipers will intermittently wipe once. I have seen people complain about it, but thought it was no big deal. For those with plastic protection film, it might be. Also, when I use the windshield washer, the wipers start wiping before the windshield is...

Yeah, but you've got to keep making the products while the transition is in process.

Which version of FSD? Totally meaningless anecdote without the version.

Because a nice car is more pleasant to ride in than a beater, and because I can't afford a chauffeur.

What mfr/product do you have, which is hazy?

In addition to the Stek Dynoflex that someone else mentioned, there is Exoshield GT3+ (which has a 3 year mfr's warranty): https://www.getexoshield.com/ P.S. I think the warranty, in both cases, is only for defects in the film (delamination, etc.), and does not cover physical damage to the film...

Your insurance paid for replacing the tint film?

FWIW, most people have reported paying about $1800 to have the windshield replaced and camera calibrated. They also generally report having to pay out of pocket, but that insurance quickly reimbursed. I have a lot of chips in mine, and a crack, but I haven't had it replaced, yet.

The website says, "This product is temporarily unavailable in North America." Same thing it said when I looked at their website last summer.

I looked at their website previously - it still says, "This product is temporarily unavailable in North America."

Vehicles in other lanes (even vehicles going the opposite direction) can kick up rocks, too. There is no following distance which will prevent all rock impacts. Better glass would be the biggest improvement Rivian could make, and would help keep insurance costs down.

The Large pack is 131 kWh usable; the Max pack is 141 kWh usable. https://rivian.com/support/article/what-is-the-usable-kwh-capacity-of-your-battery-packs

Probably not worth the effort, if Rivian was the only company that Tesla made a deal with. But some company had to be the first (if Tesla is to make a deal). Not saying that it will be Rivian, but I would assume that Tesla will plan to license to multiple companies.

You use Driver+ all the time, but you don't know what it is. You seem to know what FSD is on Teslas, but don't know the tech in your own vehicle. I would guess that it is "Highway Assist" that you "never user." Highway Assist is actually only available on select (mapped) highways, and even on...

I looked at the exoshield warranty (they now have a product with a three year warranty). But be aware that it only covers defects in the product - delamination, etc. If you get a rock chip or a scratch (or other physical damage to the exoshield or to the glass), it isn't covered. And, as I read...

Would you like to advertise for him, either here, or in an Arizona specific forum (or FB page, or WhatsApp). I don't need his services now, but it'd be great to know, in case I have that need in the future.

I view the guide as the first level of management - your personal manager. My purchase experiences weren't always smooth, but my guides have been responsive and helpful. If your guide hasn't been good, then I sympathize. I don't know if it is possible to request a different guide, if yours...

I purchased my R1T 13 months ago. I qualified for the early pricing (which was something like $450 or $550) for the wall charger, but dropped that before the final purchase - because top-notch, less expensive options are available. I purchased one for $425 - special deal through the local...
