Just tested the latest version of FSD Beta, 2021.44.30.15. I've been in the program since October (2020 Mod Y Perf) and this is the first serious problem I've encountered. This update was the one they had to push out because of the NHSTA concerns about optional rolling stops - something that was...

The Safety Score is far from perfect and not a great proxy for measuring driving behavior (e.g. a person with a 75 may be no less safe than someone with a much higher score). It is, however, a gatekeeper, and they need one for this beta. I have no better suggestions, but as I said, it's far from...

99 and 1,500 miles. Activated FSD beta 10.3.1 on 10/29. I also sent an email though cannot confirm it had any impact on their selection criteria. Experience has been positive. It's an early beta so you will need to be hypervigilant - much more so than when you are actually driving yourself. Only...

Some of those are artifacts from offline mechanical repairs and are COMPLETELY unacceptable. There is no way they did not know they damaged the paint with a hamfisted adjustment and shoved the car out anyway, making it a delivery problem. The delivery team did not seem to care much either. I did...

Monday began with a call from the Tesla team asking if I wanted to take delivery during March. (YP Red/White, placed in early September). I replied "YES!". The next step was to be a VIN and a call from the local delivery team. With all the news about Fremont possibly being forced to close...

Thanks. I will keep you posted as well. Good luck.

I'm reading today of folks, that placed orders as late as this January receiving VINs and confirmed ship dates. These had black interiors. Has anyone with a white interior received a VIN (or better) yet? (I'm looking forward to it but Tesla's poor customer communication practices do not bode...

Messages are coming in rapidly now. Page changed Sunday asking for insurance and financing info. This morning I received an email saying "Once complete, we’ll schedule your Model Y for delivery when ready." This was already done before email hit, and it is reflected on the page. It suggests...

A CarMax warning about lowball pricing. I'm a huge CarMax fan and have recommended them for years as a low-hassle way of getting a fair price for a trade - until this week. As part of my Model Y acquisition, I needed to sell a 2019 Acura RDX Advanced, a truly amazing vehicle. With 17,000...

YP Red/White. Nothing Yet. Ordered 09/16/19

KBB will low-ball you badly on trade value. It's biased towards bank values and dealer retail. The best data available to civilians is Edmunds. Even if you disagree, give it a try for one more POV. Been using their data since before the internet existed.

Dig deeper. Mine has been updated as well. Also a Performance. Red/White. However, check on Order Agreement in lower-right corner. It now brings up a PDF dated 02/28/2020. This replaces the previous "pre-order" placeholder agreement. I assume others have this. If so, what date is the date of...

Thanks for your reply. Based on what I've read online today, and also heard at the Tesla store today (Carlsbad CA), the white seats are the likely reason. Hope they don't wait too long, but it is what it is. Thanks for the reply.

All that said, they are getting better at production, projection and all the intricacies of global auto production. This was also a make/break moment as the Y had the risk of stalling 3 orders. This is why it was such a low-key launch (compared to 3 or CT). Pardon the ICE metaphor but they are...
