    Replace rear view mirror with Gentex Homelink Autodimming one?

    Tesla charges $350 for the module and labor to install it. I hear you can just buy the parts from Tesla directly for ~$250 and install it yourself. For what it's worth, I found a brand new one (module + bracket) on eBay for $182 shipped. Had to get the bolt separately ($4 for a pack of 4 from...

    Credit Unions with good rates that accept applicants anywhere within the US?

    I opened only a savings account with them and will be using that to make my auto loan payments.

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP : April 2023 orders

    You got your VIN at the same time as me and have a similar build (I added a tow hitch) and I picked my Fremont build up on Monday on the east coast. Man I hope you get yours soon!

    New Hampshire Waiting Room

    Hey there! Not many NH folks here, good to find another one. I picked up my MYLR on Monday and am loving it so far. I'm amazed that this will be your wife's car and you're doing all the accessories/prep for her - you're a good husband! My boyfriend has been super patient with the mountain of...

    Screw for a Homelink

    Did you find one? I have 3 extra - they came in packs of 4 from my local auto parts store and I only needed one for my HomeLink installation. Happy to mail you one if you still need one.

    DiY HomeLink Install using in car Service Mode - No need for Tesla Service or ToolBox

    Just wanted to note that this thread has been super helpful. I got a brand new HomeLink module + bracket off eBay for a great price ($182 shipped) and just installed it in my MYLR yesterday and then set it up with our garage door opener today and it works like a charm! Saving over $150 going DIY...

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP : April 2023 orders

    Picked up my MYLR yesterday in Paramus, NJ! It was a long day getting there from NH and driving back but the car is awesome! The Paramus center was a total zoo with a packed parking lot and tons of people when I got there. I was an hour early and my car wasn't outside ready and waiting - I saw...

    New York/New Jersey Waiting Room

    Did you put your order on hold? I have the same order date but my MYLR is a Fremont build and I got the message to schedule the delivery yesterday. Picking it up at Paramus on Monday 6/5!

    OMG posting here is clearly magic because I got the text asking me to schedule my delivery right after hitting the "post reply" button! Scheduled for June 5!

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP : April 2023 orders

    This wait is still killing me. Got a tightening of my delivery window this morning, changing it from June 4-June 13 to June 3-9. That must mean I'll get to schedule my delivery soon, right? Right???? :eek:

    New York/New Jersey Waiting Room

    It's been quiet in here. Any updates for people picking up in Paramus with recent orders? I'm in NH but will be picking mine up in Paramus. OD of 4/22, got VIN on 5/23 and current EDD window is June 4 - June 13. Anxiously waiting for a message to schedule my delivery!

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP : April 2023 orders

    Hoping to get the message to pick a delivery date this week since my current delivery window is June 4 - June 13! All this discussion about HW4 is interesting and I've been reading around to see if I'll get it (my VIN is PF7891XX out of Fremont) but I don't really care - I was happy to get the...

    You baby your car and then 5 minutes with a valet....

    Glad they stepped up and covered that! And Sentry mode came in clutch for that.

    Oof that's terrible. Will they cover a replacement wheel cover for you?

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP : April 2023 orders

    Congrats! Random question: what was the charge level when you picked it up? The "what to expect next" session said it should be charged to 80% but it's not guaranteed and I'm curious about what's happening in reality.

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP : April 2023 orders

    Got my VIN last night woot! New EDD is June 4 - 13 (was June 1 - June 29 previously). Now to finalize insurance stuff to upload. So excited!

    New Hampshire Waiting Room

    Anyone else here ordered from New Hampshire? Didn't find any other existing NH waiting room threads. I can't be the only one! Placed my order for a MYLR black/black with tow package and standard wheels on 4/22 right after a test drive at the Dedham, MA SC. Current EDD is June 1 - June 29...

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP : April 2023 orders

    This is very close to my config except that I did not choose EAP, only standard auto-pilot. And my order date was 4/22, hoping to get a VIN soon! I'm in New Hampshire and expect to be picking it up in Paramus, NJ so I'm sure there's some transport logistics complicating this too.

    New Model X key fobs

    I'd been keeping an eye on this thread and actually PM'd OP to ask about buying one, but then he disappeared. He seemed legit with some people early on reporting that they got their fobs from him quickly and that they worked. I don't know the guy but it seems like something happened to him in...

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP : April 2023 orders

    Yeah I'm hoping I (and you!) will get a VIN by the end of May at this rate. I'm fine with taking delivery in June, it's just that the waiting is going to be unpleasant!

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP : April 2023 orders

    Just got another EDD update today compressing the window a little bit but starting it later :eek: Last window was May 26 - June 30, now it's June 1 - June 29.

    Credit Unions with good rates that accept applicants anywhere within the US?

    You're welcome! I think they're getting hammered by Tesla buyers because of their interest rate so it's not a fast process now. But totally worth it to get 3.49% for 48 months. When I got my loan approval, the woman said that their interest rates will increase on June 1. Really hoping my...

    Credit Unions with good rates that accept applicants anywhere within the US?

    I got an email asking me to call them to answer some "due diligence" questions about a week after I submitted my membership application. Then I applied for a loan the next day after my membership approval and it took maybe 4 business days until I got a phone call notifying me of the loan approval.

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP : April 2023 orders

    Got a second email yesterday afternoon inviting me to sign up for some pre-delivery virtual sessions. I'm sure it doesn't mean anything relative to the progress of my order but I'm now incessantly checking the app for EDD updates. I've got 3 sessions on my calendar ("Get to Know Your Next...

    Trying out a Y

    A 30-minute test drive was enough for me. With some prior research/drive-bys of the charging options in the towns/places that I normally visit, I was ready to place my order after I got home from the test drive.

    is Registration fee $750 in California?

    This doesn't seem out of line from what I can see. Use a California car registration calculator on the official CA DMV site: Registration Fees - California DMV I did a dummy calculation for an electric car priced at $54,490 in Solano county and it gave $641 for the registration fees. It's...

    Hitching dirt bikes with model y

    Like Vin_L said, tongue weight is different than vertical load. Tesla says this right in the owner's manual for the Model Y: This may be a function of the hitch that Tesla uses, or of the mounting points that the hitch uses (and that any after-market hitch would use too). I'm not taking a...

    Hitching dirt bikes with model y

    I was going to mention this as well. I researched this when deciding to order the MYLR with a tow hitch vs. getting an aftermarket one since we have 2 ebikes and a 1Up hitch-mounted rack. We'll need to take the batteries off of the ebikes to make it under that 160lb limit with the rack.

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP : April 2023 orders

    I can't believe how patient you've been to let them have it right away and not drive it. I know that's the right thing to do to have the paint as pristine as possible underneath but I'd have gone crazy letting them have it right after picking it up!

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP : April 2023 orders

    Just got an EDD update in the app this afternoon to "May 26 - June 30". It was originally "April - June" so it's nice to have a more specific range even though the end is further out than I'd like!

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP : April 2023 orders

    Still no EDD beyond "April - June" for me (OD 4/22) but I got an email invitation to some online "Get to Know Your Tesla" sessions. I've been reading through so much that I'm sure I already know lots of the content but I signed up for a couple anyway.

    Credit Unions with good rates that accept applicants anywhere within the US?

    I applied for USSFCU membership over the weekend (4/23) and am anxiously waiting for it to be finalized. I just want to get the loan app done and over with so I can be even more tempted by the accelerated delivery options that Tesla is showing me 🤪

    How does delivery scheduling work?

    I'd schedule it for the earliest possible date too! You must be so excited! So you got the scheduling text/email about a week after you got the VIN?

    How does delivery scheduling work?

    Ooooh super helpful, thanks! I'm so jealous. Are you loving it so far?

    How does delivery scheduling work?

    I'm thinking about this way too hard but I'm a planner ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm in New Hampshire and I know there's no local pick-up available for me here* so I'll have to pay for home delivery or pick it up in Paramus, NJ. I'm thinking that I'll pick it up in Paramus as a fun field trip and to meet an...

    Waiting Room for MYLR/MYP : April 2023 orders

    Ordered a MYLR (black paint, black interior, 5 seater, tow hitch) on 4/22 right after getting home from my test drive. Delivery estimate is "April - June" now. I'm so damned excited! Coming out of a 17-year-old SUV that's starting to fall apart. It will be so nice to have a new car again!
