I received a voicemail today from someone at Tesla following up on my deferred order and asking if I wanted to take delivery now, as the next Model Y shipment to Hawaii won't be until December. Not sure if that was just an end-of-quarter push, or if it's true that they aren't expecting any more...

My initial trade in assessment on my 4Runner (right before the COVID shut down) was also towards the upper end of KBB's trade-in values. The re-assessment in June brought it down by about 12%, but that's when used car values as a whole had plummeted. Since then, the market seems to have evened out.

The VIN on the showroom car was 11XXX and was pretty close to the VIN I was assigned and gave back. If the one I was assigned was painted the same way as the one in the showroom, I would have been very disappointed. I’m glad I took it on a test drive. It’s a good car, but I’ll probably let my...

Sorry, hit “post” too quickly and then it timed out while editing. On the road, acceleration was excellent, as expected. One-pedal driving is great, and something I think I could easily get used to. I love the simplicity of the interior. Showing the side cameras when the reverse camera is...

While I was at Ala Moana, I stopped by the Tesla store to check out the Model Y Performance in the showroom. Out back, they had two LR AWDs, one with 19” wheels and one with 20” wheels. The one with Geminis was their demo vehicle and I took it on a short test drive. I thought seeing it in...

That’s an apartment complex off a private road, so probably not anything that will be usable by the general public, unfortunately. Doesn’t the Tesla website have a “coming soon” for Superchargers in Kailua?

I delayed delivery in June after receiving a VIN assignment (which was subsequently removed when I delayed). I did an “edit” to my February 2020 order and it now it reflects the July 2020 $3k price drop. I did not purchase FSD, so no impact there. I feel bad for those who took delivery a few...

They would be in the return period, so not ideal, but at least there's some leverage. Those that were just outside the return period (8 days+)...I feel bad for them. But I would also agree -- I don't think there's an obligation for Tesla to provide any compensation. It's just bad timing. To add...

My guess would be they’ve exhausted the pre-order backlog for LR AWD and Performance and the amount of new orders for those trims isn’t keeping up with the production numbers. Doesn’t this remove the price difference between the LR RWD and LR AWD? Maybe this is how they are addressing all those...

That’s not what my delivery advisor told me — even though I had an MVPA showing the higher trade amount, which I had accepted back in March, I was told the trade-in would be re-valued since over 30 days had passed. As my June delivery date grew closer, they dropped the trade-in offer by $2k and...

In my area, the Model 3 is becoming relatively ubiquitous to the point where it's not unusual to pass one on the road. But I can see how it can stick out in areas where they aren't as common on the road. To me, it's less about the "flashiness" and more of a stereotyped "superiority" image of...

In before someone else notes that it’s the OP’s first and only post so he or she must certainly be a troll or a short-seller. In all seriousness, I would be disappointed too. Whether this happens to other manufacturers (it does) and is not unique to Tesla (surprise, it happens to others too) is...

That’s the flaw in this discussion. We’re comparing the Model Y, which is in production now, to the Mach E, which is unavailable in production form. Anyone comparing the two in terms of delivery quality or anything outside of published specs is doing so based on pure speculation about the Mach...

Hopefully Ford has learned from its own disastrous launch of the Explorer/Aviator. On the plus side, it was widely acknowledged inside and outside of Ford and was front and center at their shareholder meeting, which is step one: admit you have a problem. $70K Aviator up for a top automotive...

I haven't received any texts from Tesla after notifying my delivery advisor that I was delaying my delivery. In fact, I didn't receive a reply that they received my request and had acted on it until I sent a follow-up email just to confirm.
