Note the rack feels solid and doesn't wiggle at all before loading. This is connected to the Tesla installed 2" hitch.

We purchased the Yakima FullSwing bike rack a couple days ago because we need to carry 2 adult + 2 kid bikes. The total weight of the bikes is ~118 lbs. The bike rack is listed at 56 lbs. We are over the Tesla Model Y limit by 14 lbs. Never having owned or used a hanging bike rack before, can...

I've definitely car carriers on the Bay Area freeways with new Tesla loaded up - both 3s and Ys. They are going somewhere!

I agree. There may have been an unassigned car that happened to fit your order specs, so you had the chance to jump the line. You are likely back to your "normal" place in line.

We just brought home our Model Y last week. It's parked on a driveway that has a southwest exposure. My kids and I have both had times in the afternoons when the door handles got extremely hot from sitting in the sun. The kids were afraid to try and open the doors. I don't think it's hot enough...

The one downside of online ordering is the lack of clear communication. I'm glad you spoke to them and confirmed the profile is now complete. There should have been better notification as someone else said that the profile was missing something. I hate to tell you that when the car comes in that...

Post I've read are estimating those batteries won't come until later in the year.

Same here, SA looked up my VIN and told me manufacture date/time was 5:20AM 3/17, ~6 hours before they texted me the VIN assignment notification. The car must have been driven over to Daly City the same day or the next morning because they called in the afternoon 3/18 saying I could pick up in...

Has anyone found a decent sear cover shaped properly to keep the Y's rear seat buckles exposed? Specifically, I'm trying to find a cloth cover since I don't like the sweaty feel of leather for the summer. I looked at several options on Amazon but they all cover the seat buckles. (e.g...

I picked my car up on Friday evening. We inspected the car for 20 minutes. Then I went back into the building and paid in full through the Tesla app. They gave me the key cards and I was on my way.

Happy to say that I picked up my car this evening! Never expected it to move so fast once I got the first text. Not even 36 hours from receiving first text message that my delivery date was moved up to accepting delivery. There is one tiny fleck paint flaw on the rear passenger door but decided...

FYI - Just off the phone with delivery rep who says my car is sitting in the lot waiting for me to pick up. He looked up the build date and said my car was built yesterday at 5:21AM. (F401) They move fast. Now to go search for a inspection checklist.

Yes, that's exactly what we are doing. We will inspect this weekend and see how it goes. The short notice is challenging to gather up that much in cash in 36 hours. If I had to pass on the car, it'd be more likely be due to funding rather than the car. I'm sure the only reason I moved up in the...

F401 I noticed someone else posted a F406 VIN for window starting 3/19 which is why I'm thinking mine seems a tad "old"

I only learned midday today that my EDD moved up from May 24 to March 17 - March 22. I'm kind of annoyed they gave me basically gave no notice. A few hours after the first text, I received a second text saying it was time to schedule delivery. In the app, the only options for pick up are 3/19 to...
