I’ve tracked these prices back when I was considering purchasing a Model Y too. I believe that some people are willing to pay a premium for a used Model Y, that may have already gone through the fix/repair process from any quality issues found at time of delivery (panel issues, paint etc). I...

I have to be candid that I’m losing interest in the Model Y. I used to read these forums every day, but no longer have found myself doing that. Being cooped up indoors during this pandemic, seeing losses that others have experienced and other issues has made me more thankful for what I have...

It’s just crazy right now. I visited a Tesla showroom last weekend and it was dead as a door nail. Tampa is not a sleepy Tesla market either (I was told a couple of years ago by a Tesla Corporate Executive that Tampa was one of its top 5 markets outside of California). I was there for an...

My local Tesla store had a demo Model Y (only for 48 hours or so). I went to take a look at it (no test drives allowed). Overall good fit/finish from what I could see. The rear visibility is definitely a huge concern for me, but the rest was as expected. When I asked about RWD...

Is it the Florida Ave location that has it on display? I might just need to make a visit over there. Thanks!

I’m honestly not sure Tesla owners will ever get the fully featured FSD they’ve paid for. It’s at least a decade or more away from being realistic for a public launch and it has a long road ahead of itself for governmental approval (imho). I do dream of the day when I can read the paper while...

My Tampa store rep called me saying they still have no info on RWD and encouraged me to switch to an inventory unit Model 3, albeit with a discount. I was a bit perplexed at that strategy but figure they just need to move inventory at the moment. I asked about upgrading to AWD as an option...

What they offered me are cash discounts off the bottom line. They want to move inventory so it sounded like it didn’t matter if you had an existing order or not.

Sure thing. I just sent you a DM.

I have a model Y on order and they are trying to get me to cancel the y order and purchase a model 3 instead. They’re pushing multiple inventory units pretty hard to move them (non demos). Can’t blame them. For buyers in the market and ready to pull the trigger, now may be a rare opportunity...

My Tesla rep is offering $1500-$3000 off on select model 3’s in stock. Sounds like the deals are starting to happen.

Wow sorry to hear that. For being a brand new vehicle, they should at absolute minimum put you in a Tesla loaner - or refund your money and order you a new one. Regardless of the manufacturer involved, this would constitute a major eyesore for a customer experience. They need to make it right...

I think Tesla may either accelerate their plans to build RWD - or scrap their plans to cancel RWD after seeing cancellations and order rejections. I hope that will be the case instead of just skipping over to the lower margin Standard Range Y. Reading or hearing of buyers picking up their...

Did they make you pay the full price of the upgrade, or did they adjust to what it would have been without the price increases since your original reservation?

Great video! The white color looks terrific / nice overview too. Thanks for sharing.

I did an extended test drive on a Model 3 for about a week and the side mirrors at night drive me nuts with how difficult it was to see. The rear glass also was a challenge with the heater lines causing refraction from headlights behind me. I have never had those two issues in my current or...

Agreed. With each passing day that we have zero communication from Tesla (and left with the ambiguity of whether or not the RWD Y will ever be produced), I lose interest in becoming a Tesla owner. This experience is making me more appreciative of my current vehicle and my dealer. Perhaps I...

What about LR RWD?

I’m not an engineer but I wonder, with the roof being all glass with no cross-member, if the trunk area had to have more “structure” to stiffen up the roof for rollover crashes? Just a thought. I’m sure there has to be a trade off somewhere for the all glass roof?

It’s both comical and very insulting at this point that Tesla can’t even do their customers the courtesy of clarifying the situation (a situation they caused in fact). It’s not an unfair request by customers who have placed $2500.00 preorder deposits to expect this. I’m holding my reservation...

In all fairness it also used to list a RWD LR model too. It’s a fair question. If they decided to pull the RWD model, what’s to say they wouldn’t do the same with the SR model?

Tesla’s FAQ page for the Model Y is an ideal platform to overcome that. Instead, they post something like “not planned for production at this time” further adding to confusion and putting their front line in the position they’re in to make stuff up or guess as they go along. I bet Tesla hasn’t...

Looking at the informal Tesla y preorder tracker that is linked in this forum, about 27% of preorders are the RWD Y. I know the sample size (over 150 responses) isn’t large enough to draw a firm conclusion, but if 27% is somewhat accurate, that’s a large percentage for Tesla to have taken off...

Not new here and I have witnessed Tesla’s shenanigans over the years. That’s candidly why I originally cancelled my deposit after being a day one preorder customer. I threw my hat back in the ring about a month ago. I hope I’m not wrong and they will eventually make the RWD for original preorder...

I can afford to spring for the higher AWD, but if they discontinue the RWD model and don’t honor preorders, I’m out of the Tesla brand to be honest. It won’t be about money but it will be about losing trust with Tesla. That will make me move over to Ford Mach E. I have a reservation for...

Thanks for sharing! How was the getting in and getting out feel? Was it more like a CUV, or similar to the Model 3? I’ve been hoping the Y will be easier to get in and out of than the Model 3.

The Rav 4 phev looks very interesting. I’m curious to see how it’s acceleration times are on EV only. If I recall correctly, the Prius PHEV is god awful slow on EV only mode. With my preference for spirited driving, I’m thinking a model 3 or y is going to be a better choice (or Ford Mach...

That’s what I’m thinking too. EA has to recoup their investment in land/lease deals, equipment, overhead and r&d, on top of the actual energy expense. Gas stations are a must for all ICE users, they have no alternative to fuel at home. Gas stations are high volume and deliver their core...

Looks nice. How does it look from the inside when looking up?

Ah I think you’re right about the protective film hiding the blackout trim. sully: I’m in the same boat, just waiting to pull the trigger once I can confirm some important details.

Interesting... doesn’t look like the window trim is blacked out. The door handles look like they aren’t blacked out either. All the other demo versions had these details. Encouraging to see more though!!

it’s hard for me to comprehend why people would pay for a product that doesn’t exist yet - and has no realistic timeline for when it will ever be approved to be used. I would imagine by time it ever comes to reality, id be on to my next car. If you could transfer it to another vehicle then...

Wow those paint and body defects are pretty appalling, regardless of price or manufacture. Hopefully that’s just an anomaly but still completely unacceptable.

My refund for my Model Y preorder was processed in about three days, which was what I had hoped for. No issues at all with the cancellation and refund process on my end, at least that part was straightforward! :)

I cancelled my Model Y order this week, due to a culmination of things that I perceive as silly from Tesla. The change of the base price for existing orders, with a modification to options, was the final straw for me. I’ve been wanting to buy a Tesla for about four years, waiting for a more...
