Bump. Get your 7-seat model Y faster and save $500. We have waited for 9 months for a VIN with this configuration.

Actually cost savings is $500. And if you change to gray exterior color, even more (since it was free when the original order was placed). Anyhow I will cancel this order in a few days if no buyer is found as we won't be picking up this car.

VIS has been assigned for the current configuration (see attachment) this morning. I can put delivery on hold and change configuration if needed.

Selling a reservation for a 7 seat model Y for $250 that I ordered for my wife back in May, but I have since got a used one for her. Order was placed in May 2022. Current config is the cheapest white/black with 7-seats, but you can edit the config as you'd like. You aren't saving any money...

Is the older car with 2 wires instead of 3 missing the camera heater or the wiper hearer?

Thanks for this info, please keep us updated with your progress, thanks!

Yeah restoring a flooded Tesla can be a challenge. Which 16V power supply are you using @Night pilot ?

Yes Tesla ended up canceling my order. Looks like the new parts are not yet available for sale.

You may be running older firmware, try doing a software update.

Does anyone know how to reset the new lithium LV batteries (installed in 2021+ Teslas) after one drains to 0%? These batteries have built-in MOSFET that gets opened when battery is discharged all the way, and I am trying to figure out how to get the battery re-activated. Than you!

@Dimtrsu, Did you resolve your issue? I also have a 2022 salvage car, my contactors are closing when powering the car from a power supply, but DC-DC converter doesn't power on and the car doesn't go into drive or charge. Wondering if I should try replacing vcfront. Thanks

Guys lets cut off the drama and focus on the issue. Regarding the part - tesla resticts sale of all weld on parts and some bolt in parts. Certified body shops cam buy them, non-certified shops can not. This part is a restricted part.

OP, Very likely that you don’t need the whole steering rack to be replaced. Probably only the inner tie rod. This part is not sold separately by Tesla, but you can find it on eBay, or aftermarket on rockauto.com. You can also potentially repair the wheel for less than the cost of a new one...
