I'm in a similar situation. I have a MY reservation in the USA, but I will be moving to Germany later this year and am considering asking if Tesla can change my order to a European spec MY. So far the Tesla Germany ordering page says delivery is scheduled for early 2021.

The four at the rear of the trailer are definitely 20" Inductions.. The image resolution isn't sharp enough for me to be sure about the others.

WOW! Now i'm really getting excited for people to start posting their delivery experiences and sharing in-depth reviews and videos :D. Still no delivery email for me :rolleyes:

One switch should be to close the power lift-gate, and the other should operate the auto-folding rear seats.

I wonder why the internals of the rear seats are exposed? I'm assuming this is an "almost finished" production model? SO happy Tesla has made the jump to USB-C on the MY. More tech manufacturers need to get with the times and update their products like this.

Thanks for the input everyone. I've reached out to Tesla asking what they will and will not cover as far as warranty / service / updates etc. (haven't heard back yet). I've read that other military owners have shipped their cars to Korea, and after some deliberation with Tesla, were able to...

OP did you ever get any traction with Tesla on this issue? I'm also military with orders to Ramstein Germany, and I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to be screwed if I ship my Model Y to Europe. Please let me know what you've heard!

Hard to understand why you ordered a Model Y in the first place since the car was never advertised to have those features you require. Good luck with the Audi.

Yes i figured the Chademo stations are a viable backup solution, but I prefer to stick to the Supercharger Network if at all possible. So I could just use the included J1772 adapter and then use a second adapter cable for connecting to the CCS 2? There wont be any issues with doubling up on the...

Okay - upon further research it seems charging a US Tesla in Europe is not as simple as i'd assumed. European Superchargers use two types of plugs (CCS type 2 and IEC 62196 I think), but neither of them are the US style Tesla plug. I found an adapter for sale by a third party that supposedly...

Hello everyone, I'm in the military and there is a good chance I will be moving to Germany this winter. I'm expecting to take ownership of my Model Y prior to this move and I'd love to bring the car with me. My employer will pay for all the shipping expenses, but I have several questions about...

I would 100% expect the Model Y to have the same key card as the Model 3. The power lift gate can be opened remotely via the app which is admittedly a bit slower that being able to use a tactile fob. I'm expecting Tesla will eventually release the optional key fob that looks like a mini MY...

The engineer inside of me is hoping Tesla has taken the lessons learned from the Aero wheel covers and managed to create an alloy wheel (20" Induction) that has a similar aerodynamic efficiency profile. I think if the wheels have a serious impact on the cars' range then it would be annotated on...

Your wish has been granted. Range is now 315 miles on the LR AWD, and there is a peformance option on the Peformance model that lets you choose 280 or 315 miles of range.

I just checked my reservation, and the Aero wheels I had spec'd automatically changed to the 19" Gemini wheels. I dont think Aero wheels will be offered at all anymore on the MY. And I agree that silver wheels look out of place on the otherwise very stealthy Model Y. Hopefully the Gemini...
