Hey everyone! It's great to see Model Y reservation holders finally getting to experience the joy of taking delivery. I adapted my TeslaPrep guide to support Model Y deliveries (which are surprisingly similar). I've scoured the web looking for things to check at delivery that are specific to...

I just adapted my Tesla Prep guide to add a Model Y specific delivery checklist! mykeln/teslaprep

I honestly think this can be fixed with better tape. The right 2/3 of my spoiler is basically “off”. If the tape was stronger, it’d hold, and make up for any imperfections in the carbon itself.

Nevermind. Lifting in right side :(

Got my spoiler and badge installed yesterday by a mobile tech. He said the latest batch has been much better and confirmed that the issue is inconsistencies with the spoiler, not the trunk. He did a dry-fitting and it fit perfectly, no lifting at all. Then he took the protective sheet off and...

Spoiler and badge install scheduled for the 24th. Not sure why I’m NOT holding off until they get it sorted, but figure it’s worth a shot.

Do the mobile installers wash/clean the area where it’ll get stuck on? I have it scheduled. Wondering if I should wash the car beforehand

Crazy to see VINs in the 400s! I’m feeling ancient with my 079XXX :) I’m curious: any folks still waiting for the spoiler/badge?

“Soft touch” is marketing, not actually soft. It WILL create tons of swirl marks

As someone who had an AWD on order who took a P3D+ when the opportunity presented itself, YES. It's absolutely worth it. Especially now that it's $5K cheaper. Do I use the brutal acceleration much? No. I drive pretty gently, actually. But it's really neat knowing the most fun part of the car...

Walked out to our beater 2005 Subaru Forester this morning (I ain't taking my M3 out in this salt!). Had to yank the door back and forth for a couple minutes before it opened. This is not a Tesla-specific issue, but it's certainly annoying!

Chiming in here after 3 months on t DWS06s. They’re silent. They launch beautifully in all weather conditions. No plans whatsoever to switch back to summers when it warms up.

Just noticed this on mine. Creaks when accelerating and when letting off the accelerator. They actually retorqued my front suspension due to a clicking sound a few months ago. Sounds like they aren’t appropriately “seating” the suspension during assembly.

Could you imagine being a passenger in this dude’s car? :confused:

Remember when “hover boards” were all the rage and were selling for $1,800, then $300 ones from China started popping up, but they exploded? This is kinda like that.
