I’m in

Glad it is finally over, and they priced me out. Doubt I'll ever think about spending 10k+ on anything less than level 4, unless it attaches to account. I'm sure it'll be a blast beta testing over the next few months, but hopefully the subscription comes out and it is even somewhat reasonable...

Mine looked exactly the same. My SC is fixing it. They told me there are multiple versions of white and two different types of plastic. Mine was the wrong color white and the wrong color plastic. A guy came out and color matched it with this square grid to one of 4 colors (they narrow it...

Personally, I was waiting to just use the car for a bit and see how much all the features meant to me. Then it felt like I was being forced into an ultimatum. Considering I'm only really interested in FSD for roadtrips since I'm home so much, I decided subscription would be the best for me...

Yep, I was planning on upgrading to FSD at some point at 8k before increases, as I just got the car and wanted to slowly check things out. These fomo tactics don’t work well on me, it feels similar to a dealer telling me that x car is hot and they are worried it will sell before I decide. It...

Trying to factor this into my purchase decision as well. It isn't exactly just $8,000 sunk cost (keeping it simple, not counting the value of money over time). These are all the outcomes that I see for value: Tesla tags it to accounts, even if partial value (i.e. they let you apply the...

When people have old hardware and they upgrade to FSD, then they get HW3. If you buy FSD now with HW3, and down the road HW4 comes out will they upgrade you to HW4?

I’d throw it on there after I move on to another, newer car. But as my primary car? Hell no... Just like I don’t rent my house out to people when I go on vacation. I don’t want to have to take a blacklight to my white seats everyday. I also find it hard to believe people who are buying 50k+...

I have a loaner M3 while my MY gets the new car tiny adjustments. I don’t have FSD, but the M3 does. I just used it to parallel park and it was pretty awesome, faster then I would have done it without the chance of wheel rash (I assume?). Easily worth 1k just for that living in the city...

Ok then...

Imagine spending a few thousand more for different letter on your VIN in a few years when you are shopping used cars. Same build, odometer and features. Maybe VINs with 69xxx will be highly sought after too, like a rare Pokemon card. The ultimate unicorn with VIN 69420 worth 10k+ more.

I gotta update this with good news. Honestly, when this started I went from excitement to panic from reading all of the issues. Tesla has been nothing short of great from sales people, to instantly matching my financing a week later, and finally to the service center. I had to put in a little...

Do those feel good on your feet? I was worried on road trips or whatever it wouldn’t be very “cozy” and would feel like I’m in an UberX or something. I guess people might swap them for the carpeted ones in that situation, but I gotta manage baby spills.

Yea this actually sorta bothered me too. And honestly, the front mats don’t go far enough under the seats either imo. When I move my foot closer to the seat I end up hitting the lip of the back edge with my foot.

The badges on the 2020 Model Y Kagu are no longer chrome/silver, which is likely the case for all of them. It blends in much more and they are more of a metallic dark graphite look. I don't have them with me at the moment but I can take a picture later. Also, I'm sure this might have already...
