@mcclark When did you order? Slow day today, I haven't heard about any red VINs being assigned.

Right but it's a different setting "regenerative braking = low" which I think reduces regenerative braking under all conditions, not just when battery is fully charged.

I think you can at least set regenerative braking to "low"... https://electrek.co/2022/05/25/tesla-updates-car-software-regular-brakes-regenerative-limited/

The problem with snow tires in Boston is there are plenty of days (like almost every day this winter aside from a few) where the temperature is in the 40s and it'd be a shame to lose range all winter just for that odd snow day.

Did you try turning off regenerative braking in the snow? I heard that can help. I haven't experienced the car in snow yet so that's only based on what I read. I wonder if there's a tire which improves upon the stock Conti's performance in snow while minimizing range loss.

Obviously I need to know what else is on the circuit, but if I did something super simple like just plug into this 120V outlet and charge at the lowest power setting my Tesla allows (accepting that this is more to maintain charge in winter than a true charging solution), that should be pretty...

I’ll try to stop refreshing until then. But will probably fail.

Tried that, but not showing anything.

Yeah I noticed VINs tend to be issued about a week before delivery and one of the SAs in Peabody said that my car would likely be delivered in the early part of the delivery range - he could see something I could not apparently, something about a "soft match". Only time will tell... How does...

Interesting sitauation. I agree that congestion will definitely be an issue in the near future. While my place has 6 7.5 kW charging locations which is probably enough right now (despite some time limitations), I'm definitely thinking about the future congestion when I consider using this nearby...

Thanks, that's helpful. There's always a chance the neighbor might just say no - for example they might want that plug closer to them because they think it gives their parking space (and therefore their unit) more value despite not using it. I could see that. There has been no car there this...

I ordered a MYLR, red paint, black seats. My delivery date window is 2/8 to 3/8. Planning to pick up from Peabody. No VIN yet. Any day now?

I'm about a week out on the start of my delivery date window. I still have hope to get it in Feb because the service advisor told me he was betting it'd be early. Not sure if they just say that to make you happy though...

Do all model Ys ship with the same tires, or is there some variation in tires used on new vehicles?

Really wishing I had my VIN so I could be more confident in ordering items within a safe delivery window for returns if they don't fit (floor mats for example). I'd also like to set up my insurance and sell my current car but gotta wait for that VIN to move forward!

Yeah interesting to see an order on 1/3 and 1/16 with same delivery date range right on this page, and mine is 2/8 to 3/8 which is pretty close too. I do think they've decided to do one big red batch in the factory any day now (before 2/8 anyway) and then start shipping them to various...

That is a really great setup! I should definitely talk to them about something like this given my outlet is almost as close as yours. I'd be happy to share it with another Tesla as well (there's sometimes but not always a model Y parked one space over). So are they just happy to pay the bill or...

Thanks, I got some more useful replies here: Charging setup for my condo garage parking space

Super helpful thanks!

My spot is actually more desirable （closer to the door) so I bet there’s a chance they’d agree to the swap. As I understand it we don’t own the space but own a contract that guarantees us exclusive use of our space but nothing says the space can’t change (HOA can even reassign spaces on occasion).

Not much daily. 15 miles on average. I tend yo do longer weekend drives and mostly around town on week days. I will probably do big charges on level 2 or super charger but this nearby outlet would be great to have to preserve range overnight on winter deep freezes for example.

I live in a condo in Boston that has a large parking garage with a dedicated space for each resident. While awaiting delivery of my model Y, I've been thinking a lot about how to optimize my charging situation. My building has 6 charging bays in the upstairs area of the garage that I will be...

Is charging your laptop in the common conference room or charging your phone in the gym on occasion considered stealing? It seems like a bit of grey area to me. Let's assume for a moment that the HOA says it's ok as long as I pay for usage and any upgrades to the electricity system. Is it...

It's not like I'm at somebody else's house using their outlet... I am a paying member of the HOA. It is a community outlet, not metered to my unit is what I meant to say. I wouldn't think twice about using it to power a vacuum to clean my car or to charge my phone or to run an air compressor for...

I live in a condo building that does have mobile chargers, but they're on a different level of our garage from my reserved space and have restrictions (like no charging from 7-9 am) and they are not free, and are sometimes congested. I noticed today that there's an outlet in my garage...

No changes here, still no VIN. The name of my car is a good question. My last car's name was Maximo. I have a tradition about not naming a car until I see it in person first, so I think I'll have to wait. I'm thinking about calling it Akira though after this high tech anime motorcycle.

A lot of delivery dates changed this morning. For my 1/15 order my date range is now 2/8 to 3/8 (almost 2 weeks earlier than before).

Added you!

My order status says 2/22 to 3/29 but today during my test drive appointment a SA told me today that I’m “soft matched” and it’s possible I might get it by as early as 2/16 or earlier!

Will update, thanks for letting me know. I’m disappointed that there are less 1/14 VINs than I thought!

Cool! I like it! I also like that Tesla does some of the work for us to track this sort of thing. With my current car (Mini) I did a pretty good job of tracking my milage over time. Turns out I only drive 15 miles per day on average. I don't drive every day but I often drive a few hundred miles...

Here's the latest update to my red tracker. Average days to VIN for 1/13 orders is 11 days. Given there were less orders on the 14th compared to the 13th I'd expect half as long to get the VINs from the 14th out, maybe another 5 or y days? Interestingly a couple VINs have been assigned to...

Congrats on your VIN finally being assigned! Fellow Red MYLR here, still waiting on mine. I've been tracking red orders and one thing that's interesting is location doesn't matter significantly. There are plenty of red orders on 1/13 from California with delivery dates similar to yours (maybe a...

Hey everyone, just wanted to create a thread specifically for red model Ys. Red is the least popular yet coolest looking color for a Tesla! I've heard rumors about red cars taking longer to produce and I created a spreadsheet to track red Y's which you can take a look at here in an attempt to...

I have my own tracker (but only for reds) :Tesla Red Model Y Tracker And Teslike has a tracker as well: Teslike Model Y Survey & Order Tracker

Any updates on your VIN @tenvyll ? You're one of the few red orders from 1/13 who hasn't reported a VIN yet.

Any updates on your VIN? You're one of the few 1/13 orders who hasn't reported a Vin on here yet!

Hey, new user here. I've been following this thread and spending some time on Reddit with the order thread there but thought it was time to join this community! I ordered a red but otherwise basic LRMY on 1/15 (shows up on receipt as 1/16 but SA says he sees 1/15, it was late in the day). A...
