Purchased mine via inventory on the 9/8. Picked it up on 9/28.

You only see a difference if traveling at faster speeds (highway). if the commute local and not very fast there is no increase miles. However, if you drive an hour highway with and without the caps there is a difference.

Yes, however in the last six cars I've leased there was never an issue with tire wear for three years with all six cars. The fact there is an issue with tire wear within 24 months of a Tesla is odd. I don't drive insane.

I'm about to return my lease Y in two weeks. What was the cost from Tesla to replace your tires? I have a feeling they will require me to replace mine. I considered going to a tire place and replacing them all for $200 each. Also, did you do a paper inspection return or did a person inspect...

I already pulled the plug on a new Model Y in inventory. Was $1500 off which is normal for my area (DC). Will be here in two weeks. Now, I need to clean up my lease to turn in. My main concern is the tires. I don't think it will pass their inspection if they do it. I've leased six cars...

I've leased my last six vehicles. While each lease does stipulate what's required upon lease return, I've never seen a company as strict as Tesla. My last six vehicles have been: Audi, Infinity, Lexus, Acura, Acura (again), and now Tesla. All $50k price range. All prior vehicles upon lease...

Another con for the 2020 is the battery is already four years old. Pay the $10 for a new model. Plus, USS will be disabled via software in the future.

I just did something similar. My leased Y will be returning at the end of the month early (suppose to be next summer). Just purchased a new Y off the line today. Will arrive near me in 10-14 days. With the $7500 tax credit and not having to buy four new tires for my leased Y it saves a...

There are certainly many pros to ordering a car from Tesla. The lack of sales people really helps. It's as simple as ordering any product online versus haggling with prices, etc.

It seems there's always 2-5 new/demo vehicles in any area for sale right away. If one of these matches your options, what's the pro/con of just buying an existing one versus ordering one? I assume the only pro is you get the vehicle sooner. Anything else?

Based on these posts the wait period is only a month for a new Model Y LR order these days?

Agreed, would be nice to have the option of brown trim with white interior. Would look nice.

The black interior comes with brown wood trim. The white does not. Wanted to know if it's changed at all for 2023.

Looking through photos and sites it seems some of the Model Y 2023 comes with wood trim and some do not. On the Tesla site they show wood trim with back interior and standard trim with the white interior. Anyone confirm?

I'm amazed people are spending $300-500 for a garage opener. Just take your garage remote and Velcro it to the back of your monitor. I have mine in the lower left. You can't see it and it takes less than two seconds to press. Cheaper than paying hundreds.
