    Tesla Model Y - Things You Should Know!

    The three main factors that contribute to hydroplaning are: Vehicle speed - as speed increases, wet traction is reduced Tire tread depth - worn tires have less ability to resist hydroplaning Water depth - The deeper the water, the quicker you lose traction, but thin layers of water cause...

    December 2021 order estimated delivery dates

    Sorry to see you go. I, myself, have been thinking of switching to EV6 GT-Line AWD. I have driven it twice and I liked it. I am having a problem locating one within 250 miles.

    Red Multi Coat Model Y LR Waiting Room

    I would say it is a record for 7-seat MYLR.

    CA Waiting Room

    Congratulations!!! Have you placed a service request to fix gap issues? If so, how long is the waiting time to fix it? On a separate note, are you planning to transport your Dobbie in the vehicle? I have two Dobbies that I need to take with me on long trips.

    March 2022 Model Y doesn't match Owners Manual. Has no USB or USB-c ports to play USB music!

    Any corrupted dashcam videos as the result of installing the hub or partitioning SSDs or other storage for dashcam and music?

    Forced home delivery experience

    Could it be that you completed financing arrangements prior to home delivery? I am planning to hand them a cashier's check upon accepting the car at the delivery center.

    Red Multi Coat Model Y LR Waiting Room

    Just remember that you are taking a huge risk. Personally, I am against this practice because it screws other buyers over who have been patiently waiting for their turn. In today's society, some folks believe they are better than others and don't give a flying f..k about anyone else.

    I never claimed to have a source. Read page 60 of this thread. My response was based on the entry in the tracker, that is all.

    There is a poster that claims that Tesla will only produce an AMD configuration after F380. F402 VIN is Intel again.

    Phantom braking so bad I want to return my car

    Interesting. Is your radar on or off currently?

    Very typical of Tesla to fill the Western States, especially California, orders at the end of every QTR.

    I would think that you get the fastest delivery with MYP and FSD prioritized by Tesla.

    Looks like MYPs.

    The only way to be certain is to perform a physical inspection upon delivery.

    Phantom braking so bad I want to return my car

    Your guy was right on the money. Data fusion of two dissimilar types of sensor systems (radar =active, visual = passive)is really tough, followed by data inference that requires enormous real-time on-board processing.

    Phantom braking is an extremely hard problem to tackle, and I wish Tesla only the best. The weekend is just around the corner and I wish everyone love, peace, and happiness.

    Phantom braking so bad I want to return my car

    The change was due to my error of lumping the two radar systems (forward and rear) in one statement. These radars were mentioned for two different applications. I promise I will proofread my statements before hitting the button. Edit: I don't think Tesla can make much more headway using only...

    Phantom braking so bad I want to return my car

    Phantom braking is caused by the lack of software maturity, I would have used Ka-band for the front. Rear K-band radar is for rear cross-traffic alert, my current $30k vehicle has that option and works much better than visible cameras - Please read my above post carefully. Do you have a...

    Phantom braking so bad I want to return my car

    I am aware of Tesla's plans to move away from the radar systems. I have over 35 years of experience in Radar, Visible, Infrared, and Microwave systems. You need to have at least two to work in conjunction for a most effective system. I think Tesla had a hard time integrating visible cameras and...

    Phantom braking so bad I want to return my car

    From the physics point of view, radar is much more superior to vision cameras because the radar can see through the rain and fog. By placing radars at the front and rear of the car, Tesla would have solved most of phantom braking issues and enabled rear cross-traffic alerts. Placing a camera at...

    Thoughts after test driving Ioniq 5 from a Model 3 LR owner...

    It is not clear to me if I5 was sitting, with defrost in off position, for a while waiting for Model Y to complete test runs. Any idea?

    Things are moving fast

    Tesla's goal is to report max revenue at each QTR and EOY, getting rid of all existing inventory, including demos. I agree with you with respect to consumer affairs. I, personally, will not make any plans until my VIN is assigned (i.e. transferring funds to my bank account, selling my current...

    Things are moving fast

    When demand is greater than output one can use this analogy: for every car produced there is n number of orders + y number of discord buyers. Even if an order is placed on hold there are now n-1 orders to fulfill and y number of discord buyers. Tesla had no issues getting rid of their demos...

    Things are moving fast

    The line of production is not impacted by people's holds. Any vehicle can be re-allocated to the next person at any time. It has happened to me when I placed the order in the middle of December. I informed SA that I will be out of the country during the holidays, and yet I received an email that...

    Things are moving fast

    EDDs are extremely volatile - I wouldn't rely on them. Did you select "CASH" as a payment option? You can always switch to third-party financing when you get a VIN.

    Where is Model Y 2022 USB Data Port?

    Edit: There are plenty of videos demonstrating the process steps. The only tool you need is a driver with a Torx bit and simple disconnect/reconnect power and data cables.

    Lots of refinement between 2020 and 2022 Model Y

    Having CarPlay and Android Auto is a must nowadays. I used it and both beat Tesla built-in apps by a long margin. IMHO

    December 2021 order estimated delivery dates

    I just hope that by my moving our dates to the end of the 2nd QTR or even to the 3rd, we would get what people call v2.00: Single casting front and back, integrated 4680 structural battery pack. The prices will rise over the next few months due to supply chain issues and such.

    Red Multi Coat Model Y LR Waiting Room

    There are a few 7-seaters being produced due to low order volume, but ordering the FSD option (higher profit ) should place your order ahead in the long queue. IMHO

    Some companies, unless you are on a higher tier, charge extra for the Wi-Fi hotspot service. The second issue is the battery life of the phone.

    GSM band

    It is because of a limited range of 5G (about 1,000 feet) and increased power consumption.
