Just wanted to share some positivity. Picked up my Long Range AWD White/White/Induction Y on Saturday. My biggest concern going into the delivery - based on photos from others - was that the bumper paint would be a shade (or worse) off. In practice, it’s perfect in all lighting conditions...

Finally got a hold of a humanoid today. They confirmed that my account was incorrectly still marked as ineligible. They corrected that today and will “start looking for a VIN that matches.” Thanks community for helping to solve the problem!

Same. Maybe it’s just an update to the webapp that doesn’t render null as ‘-‘? Or maybe it means something.

I hope viewers notice that Tesla does indeed have sub millimeter accuracies in their specifications... so there is a very precise meaning for “within spec” that everyone enjoys mocking

Read this thread: Should I apply to "Customer Experience Manager" to get an update on my order?

I’m in the same boat. Day one RWD order; changed to AWD in mid-July. Seems like my order is in some sort of limbo... but at this point I can see what September brings and I have a Model S to hold me over in the meantime which isn’t so bad. Maybe I’ll switch back to RWD :p

I think effectively a lot of the room rear passengers experience comes from the higher seating position... the vertical space they're given provides more space for your legs to occupy. The car seat lacks legs to occupy the vertical space. A YouTube channel illustrated this recently...

M+S means "Mud & Snow".... The Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) sets the guidelines for determining which tires can be properly designated mud & snow tires and display the marking. These guidelines specify certain requirements regarding treads. For better or worse they don't specify...

This video has some great shots of the Nikola Pro center console wrap in matte white during the application process. Starts at 5 minutes 20 seconds into the video.

GM didn't give people an option to buy the EV-1 new or leased.

Given Tesla’s expanding product line, and given that Tesla has recently established new contracts with not only Panasonic but also CATL... they clearly need all the batteries they can get. Thus, I don’t expect any significant battery day revelations that will effect their high volume vehicles...

The way I understand it... is that US vendors... RPM, Telsarati, Part Shop... they get huge containers of the mats... and then they have to individually package what you ordered together... that takes time... so enough quantity may have arrived to fulfill your order, but then they need to...

Teslarati started shipping today too

I found them (S vs. Y) to be different, but I didn't experience one as definitively better than the other. Both are excellent as OEM sound systems go. Neither compares well to spending 5K on a custom vehicle sound system. I enjoyed some songs slightly better in my S vs. the Y, and vice versa...
