It's really flexible. So much so that I snap it back on without a thought everytime after removing the bike carrier.

Got a May 21 build Y and the hitch cover was pretty easy to remove. There’s a notch on the top side for a flat blade screwdriver. Part number is 1494009-00-C

Got my VIN out of Mt Kisco for pickup on 6/5. It’s a 190xxx but still says Tesla Vision. Seems a bit older than the VINs coming out.

I was looking at the weekend and it was $300. My Y order is now back to saying 6-9 weeks (was June 12-30) so I thought it was too early. D’oh!

Just received mine, 2 months after ordering to replace the Taptes version 1. I'm delighted to report that the 15w wireless charger fits both the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max in vertical position. Even the top cover will close (I forgot that was even there). Phew!

Just wanted to post an experience - I tried searching for an active thread. Since I picked up my 3 in June I’d noticed the music streaming would cut out regularly and the map / traffic updates. Even at home where it should’ve been on WiFi. This progressively got worse but I just assumed it was...

We had a crack on the inside of the roof that we only found when we went to pick up the car. Bit of a surprise that they hadn’t caught it during any inspection (look up?!). We also weren’t allowed to take it with a due bill. It took a week for them to replace the roof and our car was in great...

Loan/Lease Payoff through Progressive was an extra $5 for the 6 month term. They were also much cheaper than Geico for me.
