Worst part about this community is the minority of loud fanboy jerks. I’ve been to a couple of Tesla events - to your point, most of the loudest, most outspoken fanboys on Twitter and on forums like these lose all courage in person. Just a bunch of virtual know it alls, in real life socially...

Thanks for the measured and thoughtful response. I’ve owned many Teslas and love the car, put an order in for my first after a tour of a completely empty Fremont factory, bought and held tons of TSLA stock, etc, etc. I say all this to say that I am a longtime fan, but the Tesla fanboy has always...

I am in the same boat, wondering the same question - has my car been sitting in their lot for a month? I order a long time ago and kept pushing off/cancelling it, b/c I wanted at least 50K cars coming off the line before I picked up mine. I cancelled early August and I could swear they told me...

Anyone yet been to Smithtown or heard any news. I have a performance Model Y pick up scheduled for the 26th in Manhasset, but was hoping to get it in Smithtown. Despite all these posts on the thread suggesting August/September opening, last I heard it wasn't opening until late October. Anyone...

I happened by this the other day. No mention of it on Tesla Super Charger planned sites, but someone added it to Google Maps. It appears to be ready, but they have not yet removed the covers on the superchargers. Very nice to see these as this little center is sort of a health hub -...

Bummer that 20" Induction wheels (which I think look the best of all options), are not available for the Performance option Model Y. Performance Upgrade gives you one choice: 21’’ Überturbine Wheels (nice looking, highly impractical in a pothole city area). Non Performance Upgrade gives you one...

Black paint, black interior, performance/performance upgrade, FSD. Received email, selected delivery dates not available, finalized paperwork, waiting on specific date (late March).

My guess is that you ordered white seats (y/n?) or did not order FSD (y/n?) or 7-seat config (y/n?)... otherwise, not sure why you haven't been notified.

Got confirmation email last night. I ordered 1 month ago, from NY. I think what matters most is a) Performance + b) FSD (highest margin Y car for Tesla); I'm betting most of the notified had P + FSD. Can others confirm this? My order: Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive Performance...

Curious where you got the 0.4" number? I just got my delivery email from Tesla for my Model Y and don't like the idea of a lower suspension and also hate the 21" wheels (ugly), much prefer the 20" induction wheels.

.... does this tell us anything about where we sit in the production/delivery order? I just place my reservation last week.

Old thread, but worthwhile topic still. I've owned manual transmission cars my whole life and don't drive them with excessive engine/gearing braking. That said, when driving my MS on the highway, my brake lights come on when I only partially let off the accelerator, and my speed reduces much...

If we're not feathering the accelerator, we all look like tools slamming on the brakes all the times. I've commented on this before - there should be a medium regen setting that either delays brake lights by say 1 second, so that if you take your foot off accelerator for more then 1 second...

I am completely with you PV4EV!!! I am thinking that most people who have replied to this thread came from driving automatic ICE cars and have little to no experience with a manual transmission or never learned to drive them properly. Let me put this a different way: It is hard not to look...
