    Lost HOLD today. How to get it back?

    I know this is an old post, but this just happened to me after putting the car in N at a car wash. I rarely go through automatic washes, but needed the car to look sharp, so here we are. I had to figure out how to put the car in Neutral since I hadn’t ever had to do it. I rolled out of the...

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP: Aug 2023 orders

    Got a text for scheduling delivery on 9/6. Options were 9/11-9/13. So I called and they said they were finishing the detail work now and I could pick it up that afternoon 9/6. Now I’ve got her, and I’m elated. What a vehicle.

    Acceleration Boost (AB) or 20" induction wheels for 2023 new Model Y LR

    Good points all around. Sounds like you’ve got some different requirements for the driving you’ll do. I’m in the Midwest and the roads can be bad, weather nasty. I suppose there’s some risk with my choice, but I’m counting on smaller wheels/ winter tires taking care of it, and the ride height...

    Acceleration Boost (AB) or 20" induction wheels for 2023 new Model Y LR

    I realize I’m not the one you replied to, but I do have experience driving both. The LR is a wonderful car. It’s fast, it’s fun, esp with AB, it has plenty of space for stuff and never ending legroom. The ride is a bit more cushy than the MYP. It floats and if you drive aggressively, around...

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP: Aug 2023 orders

    Delivery updated from 8/30-9/8 to 9/5-9/14. MYP, order placed 8/20. Pretty deflating ordering the P in small part bc of the fast delivery, then watching it keep getting bumped back, and having it still take a month.

    Acceleration Boost (AB) or 20" induction wheels for 2023 new Model Y LR

    I agree 100 percent. Alternatively, I think the updated suspension for 2023 on the MY is promising, and if you combine that with some aftermarket 19-20 inch wheels/tires, that might solve the firm suspension issue and deliver on all counts. That’s my plan. I’m going to assess the 21s on the...

    Acceleration Boost (AB) or 20" induction wheels for 2023 new Model Y LR

    Having just gone through this process, I’d order the car with the stock 19 inch Gemini wheels, immediately order different covers for them, save the 2k and put it toward acceleration boost. The factory covers are awful IMO, but there are lots of aftermarket options for less than $200. I’ve also...

    2023 Model Y: Performance vs Acceleration Boost vs Long Range

    I can’t simply thumbs up your post bc I’m too new to the forum, but I can confirm the incentive. Or at least that’s what the advisor told me. To move vehicles, they add AB and an extra year warranty to the used inventory… which is really tempting. The only reason I went new was bc I was hell...

    2023 Model Y: Performance vs Acceleration Boost vs Long Range

    The MYP came out to like $55500 and is eligible for the rebate. The MX is $79000 (80 if I add the white interior, and 82 if I also add the bigger wheels), and slower than the MYP. It does get 45 miles more range per charge though. But for me, that’s NOT worth the 24k difference in price.

    2023 Model Y: Performance vs Acceleration Boost vs Long Range

    Agree with the first paragraph, but I’ve got a fam to deal with, so the rear legroom is huge, and I’ve noticed that I can put the passenger front seat as far forward as it will go and still sit comfortably, not even relatively. Actually comfortably, which is good. Part two, the height of the...

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP: Aug 2023 orders

    MYP White on White Ordered 8/20 Paid cash and completed insurance within an hour of getting the VIN Est Delivery 8/30-9/11 Updated on 8/30 to “8/31-9/9” Updated 8/31 to “9/1-9/9” Anyone else have awful response time when you text about your order? It takes 24 hours to hear back and drives...

    MYLR Acceleration Boost Availability

    The bummer is that it’s hard to find a MYP for a test drive depending on what area of the country you’re in. I had to crowdsource mine. 😂

    2023 Model Y: Performance vs Acceleration Boost vs Long Range

    My experience has been almost a word for word opposite of this. First of all, of course the Model 3 handles better, gets better range and is faster. It’s the size of a Toyota Corolla. The MY is enormous in comparison. The leg room comment is mind boggling bc the model Y is both longer and...
