Are you sure it wasn’t the 12V battery?

I upgraded today and am definitely happy with the boost! Had been waiting for them to release this! I was also thinking the LR felt sluggish from a stop, especially because I test drove the M3 LR with the boost and the difference was very noticeable. The acceleration now definitely pushes you...

I had to get mine redone because there was a huge piece of hair in my eyesight while driving, plus the area around the rear view mirror were very sloppily cut. The redo was much better though. I think as long as the shop has experience with Teslas you should be fine.

I actually just got mine coated after posting this and they don’t chatter anymore. Also if the rain is light enough it really beads to the point of not even needing wipers. I haven’t experience heavy rain with the coating yet, but so far very happy with it. I still have it set to auto and they...

Yeah this hasn’t happened to me since then, knock on wood? I have been resetting the car about once a week though now just cause I’ve read that could help, YMMV

So I’ve had the MY about 2 months and have had 3 screen/computer issues where I had to hold the restart buttons to resolve. Today, I went outside and got in the car and the screen was completely black. I tried holding the button longer and it didn’t work. Eventually I held it down for over a...

The wipers have been so manic in my car. I have to turn them to a manual speed because auto is too intense. It’s been really rainy here the last few days so I’ve been having a lot more time with the wipers. I made the mistake of putting Rain X in the windshield fluid tank so the wipers are also...

I would 100% recommend tinting the windshield and front side windows. I got mine done after driving 1000 miles without and I can notice a huge difference in the comfortableness of the cabin and a decrease in my wh/mi for the car. I was averaging about 380 wh/mi before the tint, and now it's gone...

I used UFCU. They've been great and handled everything with Tesla pretty seamlessly. My rate 2.5% for 60 months. Here's the info from my loan officer if you wanted to send him a message: Evan Wayne | Consumer Loan Officer University Federal Credit Union PO Box 9350 | Austin, TX 78766 (512)...

Update on my delivery: I finally got it! And the fit and finish was way better than I was expecting it to be. I could not find any big alignment, gap or paint issues with the car at all and even the charge port is flush. My VIN is 22xxx. The only things I noticed were: 1) There is a lot of...

My delivery date was delayed yet again, but I did get a text on Friday that the car needed to be detailed and inspected, so I assumed it had arrived. Got a text today it was expected to be ready tomorrow but to wait til they text me to come to the store. I’ll report back once I’ve picked it up.

Did anyone else receive a text similar to this before delivery? "Tesla Update - Get ready to meet your Model Y! Because deliveries are currently touchless or minimal contact, please get to know your Model Y prior to your upcoming delivery by watching these videos at...

I used UFCU and they had experience working with Tesla. You should ask someone at Navy if they have any experience with them. I just forwarded my MVPA paperwork which included the VIN when Tesla sent it to me and UFCU did the rest. They sent me a confirmation that I forwarded to my delivery...

I got my MVPA 6/28 and still waiting on delivery. Getting pretty annoyed at this point since I have to start my loan payment and don’t have the car. The last I heard was that the car is on its way but that all the info they can give. The delivery date is just tentative until the car actually...

I chatted in yesterday on the delivery day page: Tesla.com/deliveryday They were able to change it so my final price was updated and I’ll be getting a refund check from Tesla since I already financed the old price. Picking up in a week and a half. Also I noticed if the chat window doesn’t...
