My cars windows are tinted except for the front windshield. I live in Houston. I highly recommend getting an electrostatic roof shade (~$50). Made a huge difference for me, and I've just decided to leave it on the roof (the shade's fabric back is color-matched to the interior fabric). Also use a...

You may want to investigate adjusting the tailgate rubber stops (common issue here). Adjustment is handled via turning them out. If they are turned all the way in, the trunk may actually have some play in it where the latch is moving and you get metal/metal contact.

Glass roof is the culprit. Glass does not bend/flex like metal does, so this 'creaking' sound you hear when turning in to your driveway (especially if going over a hump) is expected as the vehicle's body is contorting very slowly.

Bumping this because I noticed my 23 MYP seems to have developed this SAME noise, but it is only audible at low speeds. The same exact 'brushing' noise. I visually and hand-checked each tire/wheel, and I found nothing. It does sound like something is stuck to one of the tires that is causing...

It's not consistent yet, so I'm going to wait. Also, I noticed that it seemed to start with the last update 2023.26.7. I'm going to wait n see if the next update resolves it. Car is only 2 months old.

That definitely looks like PPF. Surprised this isn't making headlines on some of the other Tesla-rati sites.

My right DRL appears to randomly flicker on cold start (car has been sitting for several hours of sleep at home) when my battery is below 40% I have noticed. It seems to go away whenever I press the on/go pedal. I will monitor it, but I guess if it gets worse a service request will be generated...

I checked my 23 MYP. I have clear mold lines on my front and rear bumper edges that could look like PPF, but PPF it is NOT.

Due to overall lack of charging infrastructure (even though SuperChargers are a plenty), at this time, I think an EV only makes sense if you can charge at home. Otherwise, depending on Supercharging or 3rd party charging infrastructure won't allow you to reap the full cost benefits of owning an...

I use one bucket wash with ONR because ONR themselves says that their product has molecules designed to trap and bring dirt to the bottom of the bucket. You'll need one of those wash bucket grit guard however. I've used this one for the past 9 years successfully in a Homer bucket. To each...

This. I have 2 Chamberlain MyQ doors, and I do not intend paying a dime to use my own garage doors.

Another shout out for Optimum No-Rinse wash. Never heard/used it before owning a Tesla, and oh boy I wish I had. This stuff is amazing. I just did a maintenance hand wash, and it only took 20 minunites. 20 minutes to get my car sparkling clean including the windows! That's nuts. The key, of...

You should not have to remove it for any service as it is an official OEM part.

The software part is easier than the install part as you don't actually have to 'install' anything. Just unlock it with your foot and turn signal, reboot, open/close the door. Voila! Homelink.

Love my MYP as well. Zero delivery issues so far, and no issues to date. I agree that charging at home is a game-changer. That being said, it's really only a privilege that homeowners can experience unfortunately. Now, I've only had mine for 1 month and only logged 800 miles. For comparison, my...

That's strange because the spoiler on my MYP is matte NOT glossy at all.

I took delivery of my MYP ~3 weeks ago, and it's been a fantastic driving experience. I've heard that the suspension was updated for 2023 on the P models, and I think it rides very well even on the Ubers. My wife commented the same, and so has everyone else that has been in my vehicle. Granted...

Similar experience with my pass front door. It was a bit harder to close than the rest and also made a different sound when closing, but the alignment seemed fine. 2 weeks in, and my wife and I haven’t noticed it anymore. I don’t think this issue is unique to Tesla, but it is unique to vehicle’s...

1. Known issue. As the door seals get worn in, it will close easier. 2. Depends, but if it were me, I would create a service request for the dash. That should get covered, and it should be an easy swap out.

I've heard WD40 sprayed onto a microfiber cloth just wipe to restore the trim.

1. Change to Sport steering mode. 2. Are you playing music? I found the default system bass too high and had to lower it. The stock "premium" sound system has much more bass than I imagined, but overall it sounds amazing, nearly as good as my wife's Lexus Mark Levinson system. 3. Deflate your...

I went through this same exact debate after test driving both new SLR and MYLR. I ended up with the MYP because I figured it was a good compromise, and I could NOT ignore the Federal tax credit and warranty. It's possible 3-5 years from now, I may revisit purchasing a lightly used S LR. I really...

It seems that every LED-strip based lighting kit on the market has an issue with the emergency frunk release not working post installation on 2023 MYs. Is there not an option out there where we can just replace the LED module itself with a brighter one so as to not interfere with the emergency...

I thought I would need a screen swivel, especially after test driving a MYLR, but after a few days with my MYP I've gotten used to it.

I may be in the minority, but I actually like the real wood trim.

I found a brand new one (Mfg date April 2023) on ebay for $189 and bit the bullet. It's super easy to install and unlock in the software. That being said, I lost two plastic frunk pins in the process, but I'm not sweating it.

23 MYP here. The Basenor mudflaps installed fine on my MY. No drilling required. They look great too.

Picked up my MYP on 6/30 at 11am at the Houston Cypress location. They herded us all like cats (~20 people) for a group orientation, and did a light show with all the cars. After wards we were made to accept delivery within the Tesla app and inspect our vehicles. I looked it over in all of 15...

You will wait for them to "unlock" your delivery date choice within the app. You will receive a TXT message telling you to pick your delivery date. Edit: Be aware that your choice is still a moving target as I and others have had their delivery dates pushed up or back depending on the delivery...

I received a really strange message today from the delivery team stating that they were unable to secure a temporary tag due to processing delays from my county. They forced me to reschedule 5 days out, so now my pick up date is 6/30. Wow. This doesn't make any sense, as these tags are delivered...

It's like I am so close yet so far. Scheduled delivery date is 6/26 for my MYP. I just electronically-signed the TX Power of Attorney docs to get temporary tags for my vehicle (sent via email to me by the local Tesla Gallery at ~7pm CST). Maybe, just maybe they will let provide me with earlier...

Yes, I can push it out to 6/26 to save a few bucks (YMMV), but I'm going to stay hopeful. I hope you're right! I would love to be able to get the car this Thursday or even Friday.

OD: 5/23 VIN Assigned 6/13 EDD3: June 22-30 Texas requires us payment in full to Tesla prior to DD. I completed that task on 6/20 with my CU and via the app/Plaid. DD scheduled for June 26th in the afternoon (after work). Since my insurance coverage starts 6/22, I really hope that I could pick...

Seems like banks are closed today? I reached out to my CU to fund my loan and issue payment to Tesla, but they are not responding.

Another update: SA advised that my vehicle should arrive on or before 6/24. Hoping for earlier, because I cannot wait.... :D

Another update. I had to reach out to the SA 508# to have them release my MVPA for my loan funding, and this also caused my EDD to move up. 🤷‍♂️ MYP MSM / Black Int Tow OD: 5/23 EDD1: June-July EDD2: June 26-30 EDD3: June 22-30 (as of 6/18) VIN: PF8089xx (Assigned 6/13) MVPA released on 6/18

Not entirely true. I've heard reports that some MY owners have it preinstalled from Tesla PPF/Mudflaps, but apparently it is tied to region or so we are led to believe. That's why I was curious because I had already ordered mine, and I just wanted to make sure I still needed them. Update to...

Did your MYLR come with mudflaps and ppf on the rear qtr panel in front of rear wheels?

I use Connect Family through my Costco Executive membership. Highly recommend. Great customer service! Link: https://www.costco.com/auto-home-insurance-services.html

Quick comment: It is cheaper to insure my new MYP than my current, outgoing F-150 Platinum. :D

As someone stated earlier, Tesla doesn't care about your ICE trade-in because they will NOT sell it. They will ONLY sell their own vehicles. It will go straight to the auction block, so they offer what they think it's going to fetch at the auction.

I have, and I only see the Order agreement and Lemon law disclosure agreement. SA stated that the MVPA becomes available once I select my delivery date. There in lies the rub, I cannot select my delivery date yet. I suspect that the delivery centers are getting overwhelmed with record number of...

No, I don't think so. The last 8 octets should be in the following format, PF###### (PF designates that it is made in Fremont, and the final 6 digits are what we have been seeing so far from Tesla. Though I'm not sure what's going to happen after they hit PF999999.

What the?! Well Tesla really needs to standardize their processes, because that's not what is happening on my end. Mine just says "Check back later to schedule delivery date." Then I text the generic 508 SA number, and they tell me I still have pre-delivery tasks remaining - which I do not. *pfffft*

Please update in here how your delivery experience goes. Thanks!

Thx again. So are you picking up today or on 6/19? Just curious if I need to take the same route and message the 508 number to request an earlier pick up if possible.

Thanks! So I uploaded my proof of insurance in the app, but the “Schedule delivery” section just says ”Check back later”. So how long does that take to light up?

Yep, check the big 3 online car retailers to maximize your trade-in: Vroom, Carvana, and Carmax.

Finally! VIN: assigned 6/13, PF8089XX (yea yea HW4) EDD 2: 6/26-6/30 I'm hoping that this window moves up, and that I can pick up the car next week. I'll be out of town during that EDD2 window. Also, does anyone know how long it takes for the MVPA (Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement) to show up...

Update on my MYP, OD: 5/23, revised 5/27 (added tow hitch) EDD still shows June 16-30. (Not yet revised) Still no movement, no VIN yet. No trade-in here. Already have my UMC mounted up to Hubbel 9450a 14-50 plug (50A circuit).
