That better not be my experience! They told me I had to pick a window of the 13th, 14th or 15th (I wanted the 21st). I picked the 14th and I've got airfare and accommodations booked. I'm going to be there. The car had better be as well. Interesting about "car is insured". It must work...

You're bang on. Tesla is focused on their loud shareholder core, who only care about short term performance. Long term, this is going to bite them. The parade of salivating people wanting your product amid zero competition is not going to last forever. Loyalty will matter. Customer service...

One way is to take delivery by the end of the year. That has nothing to do with the loyalty thing... that's just the current promo.

Yeah, I still have no idea if I wasted money on the airfare and hotel because the car may or may not be there. No idea if I can get winter tires for the trip back. Safety first, right? I

Yes, much of it is too US-centric. For example, the support number to try to get this answered ends in "I'm sorry, 00000 is not a valid zip code. Goodbye" lol Sometimes I shake my head and just say, "elon, elon, elon... figure your @#$% out buddy".

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but did it go ok? I'm flying down in a couple of weeks to pick up from Richmond. I see in the app that it says to have my insurance policy ready? Huh? Cart before the horse, Tesla. Every dealership purchase I've ever made, including twice at Tesla, has been...

It is just insane that I'm asking this on a forum... but I can't seem to get hold of anyone at Tesla, so here I am. I have been super disappointed with the sales experience this time round (compared to my 2015 and 2019 experiences). Anyway, this time what enticed me to pull the trigger now was...

In the same way you're saying I'm making a mistake by comparing to Hyundai... you're making a mistake by using BMW as a justification lol. Absolutely no manufacturer should be looking at BMW as a model for how to do something right.

I'll need to experience that one before I believe it ;)

The terrible experience continues lol I finally got the app to work and I go to confirm a delivery date of the 21st. No, it has to be the 13th, 14th or 15th. yeah, whatever, Fine. I hope my boss lets me have the day off and I book the airfare and hotel. Then.. THEN... after I've...

I bought a 2015 Model S and the purchase, delivery, and service experience was so very good. I bought a 2019 Model 3 and the purchase went fine, but the delivery was so meh. Service was ok. I'm just now trying so hard to buy a 2023 Model Y and it is OMG like pulling teeth! Firstly: out of...

Off topic, but I'm surprised that in 2023 a $30k Hyundai has cooled seats and a $80k Tesla doesn't.

Hi everyone. I didn't mean to start a cold war. I just wondered if people who own the white seats had regretted their decision. Evidently not. Good enough for me. Thanks.

When you finally get to Apollo 17... can you do me a favor and name the next one Apollo Creed?

Good to hear, thank you!

So curious why you go through so many Teslas!! Lol, I mean, I suppose I've had "several" CARS in my 30 years of driving, but Tesla hasn't even been around long enough for someone to go through "several" :) Thanks for the endorsement on the white seats!

No idea, but those are the instructions on Tesla's website for getting the 10k credits as a loyalty bonus.

Great, thanks for confirming.

My 2019 Model 3 was written off. I have a mobile charger for it still though. I assume it will work fine with a 2023 Model Y so I can forgo adding that to my order, correct? Thanks.

Scratch that... never mind, I just didn't scroll down. You can order inventory from the app.

I'm leaning toward the black and white seats. My wife says they'll get marked and old quick. Anyone regretting their white seats?

I'm a little confused on the loyalty program. It seems to suggest I have to initiate the purchase through the App. The App, as far as I can tell, doesn't show inventory items. The browser website does, but then do I get the loyalty bonus? Anyone know?

I looked at inventory last month and I don't recall the prices being any different from a custom build. If I'm right, then there are some nice discounts right now. But what I don't get is why one example has a different price from an identical other example. For instance, can you tell me...

Coincidentally so, yes. The overall point was in relation to the other manufacturers, not the dollar value itself. I did recognize, eventually, that I shouldn't have posited why Tesla "penalizes" us, so much as why they don't favor us as much as other manufacturers. International trade has...

Curious how happy OP is years later?

As is the case with Tesla, the info rapidly changes. As of today I notice the USA site doesn't include freight/PDI or "order fee" while the Canadian one does. I honestly don't know if the actual prices changed or just the presentation of fees, but it changes the implied exchange rates, which...

Further info found on the Canadian Government's webpages for both. Here's the USA version and here's the China version. Here's a summary of the differences comparing Chinese vs USA: City kWh/100 km: 17.4 vs 16.5 (Chinese is 5.17% worse) Hwy kWh/100km: 18.2 vs 17.9 (1.65% worse) Combined...

I did a bit more searching around the ol' Interweb, and I'm pretty sure the difference is that USA gets their Model Y's from USA factories using Panasonic cells, while Canada is currently getting theirs from China using LG cells. I've seen some references to 82kWh vs 79kWh. This is a...

In summary, the non-Plaid Model S is the best "deal" in Canada :) Followed by the RWD Model 3 and LR AWD Model 3. Stay away from X! Y is... well, it depends because if that is LFP then I suppose there are pros and cons. But from my brief research it isn't LFP, its just LG vs Panasonic. I...

Good question. I went a little deeper, and here's what we see (All figures converted to Canadian dollars, before incentives, and km: Model Y RWD is 4.49% cheaper in Canada and gets 5.74% less range Canada: $57,990 | 394km USA: $60,717 | 418km Model Y LR AWD is 0.56% more expensive in...

This may have been discussed ad nauseum, I'm just looking now since my 2019 Model 3 was written off and I'm considering a Y to replace it. Tesla Canada's website reports Model Y long range Dual Motor AWD as having EPA estimated 497km. The same car on the USA site says 330 miles. 330 miles =...

thanks

Whatever the stock 18 size is.

My Model 3 just got written off and I'm considering buying a Y. I have a set of Model 3 winter tires/rims. 18". Are they compatible with the Y?

Thanks. @jjrandorin I'm sure you're right that it won't really make any appreciable difference to me. 95% or more of my charging is done at home. I have a couple of times a year where range might matter.

Tesla says the range of the Performance is lower than that of the Long Range. Is that an assumption because it accelerates faster, etc? Or is it a fact because of the different equipment inside? Put another way: If I drive a performance like a grandma and I drive a LR like a grandma... do I...

True, I didn't account for availability or dealer markup at all.

Thanks!

Indeed, Tesla can price how they want to. I've been sort of tracking this for a long time now, but not consistently. Back in 2015 I noticed that Tesla was way, WAY below the actual exchange rate at that time. They were effectively charging us only $1.05 per US dollar, when the actual rate was...

I was doing a bit of research into various EVs availably in Canada, and one thing I noticed was the implied exchange rates and how Tesla penalizes Canadians more than any other manufacturer. As like-for-like as I could manage, this is what I found (in all cases I selected as similar options as...

I just learned that my 2019 Model 3 is "not economical to repair". I'm outside of the replacement cost coverage period, so I'll be getting actual cash value, which I'm curious to see how they'll do that with so few FSD vehicles for sale in the area (none, actually. I found one a couple...

I'm just trying to remember if that page showed Canadian dollars and kms, or was it the same as the USA one:

So where I live, the default speed limit (the limit unless otherwise posted) is 50kph. Am I right to assume it must be 25mph in California? Because my car always slows to 40kph on the many, many, MANY roads where the system doesn't seem to know what the speed limit really is. Google tells me...

I honestly don't know what version I was at a couple of weeks ago prior to losing FSD after a service but I think I was reasonably up to date. Today I got FSD back after it updated to 2022.45.13, which I understand to be FSD 11.3.4. Significant improvement, in my opinion. Particularly in...

Turned out to be not that big of a wait. Under 2 weeks since the computer was replaced, and today I got the update and I'm back in business. Had they given me some indication on wait time, I wouldn't have even bothered posting. Not knowing if it was going to be hours, days, weeks... years... :)

5.5 days later I got the update to 2022.45.13 and have FSD back.

"Beta" doesn't have the absolute definition you seem to assert. There's a lot of moving parts here that go beyond you personal (even popular) definition of what the term means. Just because one segment (software dev) liberally uses a phrase doesn't mean it has any legal effect in another...

I think I'm in the same boat you were in a few weeks ago. Did it get resolved for you? I'm also on 2022.44.30.2 after getting the computer replaced and wondering if I simply have to wait or if there's something I can do. Thanks.

Thanks! That's what I wasn't sure on and I couldn't recall from when I went through it the first time.

I'm not sure how far that viewpoint gets you, lol. But you do you.
