    Sign up on the Toyota Owner’s site and enter your VIN.
    You can search for the sales brochure for your model year to see what was available. I think there is a thread in the knowledge base here too.

    here's what our local "like a good neighbor" ins guy said to us - when we confronted him about wanting lower rates - due to over 4 BILLION miles being logged among the many cars w/in the tesla fleet - most having their safety features.
    Short answer, why no discount was - "ain't gona happen".
    More details?
    Other factors can or do cancel out autopilot advantages -
    Miles driven (low)
    Driving record (perfect)
    Already maxed discounts - multi car, post graduate, safe area, bundled homeowners/earthquake/boat/life/umbrella/etc policies
    Time with your ins company (decades)
    And ....
    Like the i3 - expensive body parts & repair costs cancel out any advantages that come about via auto pilot.

    so ... we found one company that actually would give us a better rate, however the discounts bundled from other policies would offset the gain. So it was an exercise in futility.

    i can't believe elon isn't in the insurance biz yet. i know he likes businesses that are good for people and good for the world, so maybe that is why.

    hmm, not a fan of lm, but that doesn't make them unique.

    Apparently the notion of partnering up with insurance companies is not new to Tesla, but rather it's what they've been successful at doing (at least for some customers) already in both Asian & European countries.

    On the PiP? Look at the Toyota emblem on the front. If it's a 3D chrome-plated logo like yours, it does not have DRCC. If it's a flat image of a logo, it has DRCC. Of course once you're inside, just look at the steering wheel and see whether there is a DRCC distance button or a blank silver plate.

    This one does not have DRCC/PCS
