Always hard to tell what Tesla is doing behind the scenes, but I am not personally reading heavily into the significance of the recent radio silence for MYP production. There's such a huge backlog of LR orders and realistically they only have a single factory capable of producing domestically...

@Jbapckfan @Luka816 From the latest news I can find, I agree that there's basically no chance we see 4680's/air suspension this year. If any are delivered I would imagine these would be at the very end of the year. Because of the fanfare and attention on the 4680's and since air suspension...

I agree that Tesla is still the hands down best EV on the market for the foreseeable future. That said, there's a lot of people who don't necessarily need or want the full capabilities of a Tesla and other automakers are closing the gap. Charging infrastructure is a huge advantage that will...

One wonders if the lack of 360 view is a result of Tesla refusing to release features that don't work up to their standard or vision, even if totally functional. Many if not most of the 360 views different cars currently have don't look great (though I don't have a TON of experience with these)...

Ryan Shaw recently posted a video on YouTube discussing some of the expected features to be added to the Model Y in 2022. In addition to the 4680 cells, there are rumors of M3/MY getting air suspension (emphasis on rumors; images in firmware imply they are currently working on it but that's...

I know it's good for more than 30 days because I didn't receive my car until ~40 days after getting approved. I believe the T&C's when I finally completed the process mentioned 60 days.

Ironically, I don't think range will ultimately be much of an issue. 314miles puts it on par with MYLR and ahead of MYP on paper and I believe Kia tends to be more like other automakers by advertising a range that is lower than what you can realistically get. In the universe of cars, the amount...

The EV6 is really intriguing and I honestly see that as a better competitor to MY than even the Mach-E. The only thing that would make the decision hard in my mind is that the GT model wouldn't be available until late 2022. The AWD version that will immediately be available will still be very...

Tesla definitely knows that despite it's own customer service woes, they still hold leverage over basically all direct competition. This is terrible from a consumer POV, but I guess it is what it is. When I was considering options before going with MYP, the decision was made simply due to...

Tesla historically begins production of the next model year in October. It seems likely that this trend will continue, but has not been explicitly confirmed. This would imply that initial October deliveries will be 2022 models, but much to @Tabor's point, Tesla implements updates incrementally...

Update to yesterday's delivery post: Did a slightly more thorough inspection and for the most part, everything is more or less completely fine. I think I have a far less discerning eye than some others, and I'm not inclined to notice/care about very small imperfections. That said, I confirmed...

This past week has been a whirlwind and I wouldn't be surprised if your lackluster experience is a result of employees putting all of their effort into completing local deliveries (I got ~20 combined calls/texts/emails to finalize delivery after crickets for two days following receiving a VIN)...

The shared emotional roller coaster is way too much to forget so quickly lol. I'm excited to see some closure for everyone else! For those who got pushed out of EOQ I hope things come together quickly once the month rolls over.

Oh and for anyone who is curious about the drive feel, best way I'd describe it is that it feels similar to a sporty compact sedan. Maybe goes over bumps a bit smoother (doesn't get the bottoming out sensation), but otherwise quite similar to a Lexus IS. I think it depends on what you're...

Obligatory delivery post! Picked up at Corte Madera and was exceedingly easy. The location doesn't actually have a lot of space so there wasn't a ton of activity. I was on a somewhat tight schedule so I rushed the exterior inspection a bit, but no panel gaps whatsoever. If anything, it looked...
