What on earth? Do you have a What on earth? Hey, it was a serious post. If you can't help out then don't.

No, I mean I got back to the car and someone had nudged it on their way out of the lot, thinking the bumper would take the impact. Not with a MY rear.

Hi, all. Annoyingly, my MY has had the actual tailgate dinted in a parking garage (as you know the rear bumper offers near zero protection). I was thinking a bumper guard might help? Has anyone a good brand recommendation for the MY? I searched and found nothing.

Hate, hate, hate - you can't meaningfully increase the navigation font size. Please, Tesla, it's not that hard. It's a big screen and I'm getting old and blind. Love - everything else

To all that responded - thanks a million. That helps a lot.

Hey, all. We've had our MY (white) for 1 month. Someone in the family has reversed into the garage brick wall. The back bumper is badly scratched - a narrow edge - 5mm wide and about 2 mm deep. 1 foot long. Anyone have advice on the best touch up paint? Bummed.

Huh...I didn't know that. Great info. Many thanks indeed.

Who out there paid the 2K for this and was it worth it? I keep opening my app and staring at it. Gee, I'm tempted. Andrew

I just got my Model Y. Beautiful. However, the standard (sticky) front licence plate bracket is rubbish; was half hanging off after my first trip. Snapplate looks good to me. Bandit? Anyone with recommendations?

Interesting responses, thank you All. I paid direct from my bank account 5 days ago. The money is gone; they have it. Cashier's check - good idea.

My MY pickup is 36 hours away. It's reflected in my account but I haven't received an email or call. I've responded to the Delivery Text - got no reply. I called Tesla Brooklyn and the phone just rings out. I called them this morning. Closed. The menu said to leave a message but the mailbox was...

Thank you for your stories. My delivery is now 1 day away. No news. I called them this morning. Closed. The menu said to leave a message but the mailbox was full. So my question is - do I even bother going in at 10am Tuesday (my delivery time)? I'm thinking - no.

Hi, All. My MY pickup is in 2 days. Apart from it being reflected in my account I haven't heard anything else (received an email or call). Should I? I've heard stories of customers turning up for their car only to find it not even on the lot. What should I expect? I've responded to the...

Did anyone else see this? I have a MY LR order in (on hold until June) and it seems like Tesla is not honoring the price. Gone up $800 since FEB2021. Should I be annoyed or just suck it up?

I delayed my MY until Jan2021. Tesla were great about it...until now. Anyone else getting these texts? I got my second one for this month, asking, 'Hey, you want your car yet? Look at the great stuff people are saying about it.' This is a real shift in Tesla's attitude. Tesla - if you're...

Due to covid I delayed my MY (April). I had received the text it was on it's way and had a delivery date with VIN. Tesla were fabulous - I have to say. They were totally fine with it - they said they would simply reassign the VIN to someone else. I delayed until JAN/FEB2021. They will honor the...

I delayed mine - no problem. I was suppose to pick it up around this week, actually. They had already assigned the VIN but just reassigned it to someone else. The customer service was really, really good. I asked heck, can I delay until JAN2021? They said, sure. Fine. So I'm in line for a late...

Long Range. Induction Sports wheels. 5 seats. White.

The last digits of the VIN I got today are: 04279. Tesla guy said it was one of the first built after Fremont reopened. Given the recent QC issues that doesn't fill me with joy. I will delay delivery and get another VIN

I paid the full $2,500 but aronth5 above has summarized my feelings pretty well. On another note, I just exchanged emails with my Tesla guy and he's happy to give the VIN to someone else. I asked if I could wait till January 2021 to take delivery and he said that was fine too. Really? Yep -...

I got one of those yesterday and today I got an email (local Tesla) saying the car was on it's way. 26-29MAY. They assigned a VIN too. You might be about to get another email. But nothing has changed in my Tesla account.

I got one of those yesterday and today I got an email from the local Tesla office saying the car was on it's way. 26-29MAY. You might be about to get another email.

Great points, NY Rob. Appreciate it.

In the same hour I posted this thread I received an email from Tesla saying I've been assigned a VIN and the car is on it's way. 26-29MAY. Very weird. Anyway, I'm pretty concerned to read about recent quality control issues and my car must have been one of the first built since they reopened the...

Hey. Thank you, that's not bad a bad idea. But what about the deposit? Will I forfeit it?

Anyone out there tried to delay their delivery by a few months? Is that even possible? Can I delay for a year and get next year’s model?

Did you see the thread in Model Y delivery yesterday - few thoughts relative to a 2017 MX P100DL ? The writer said he 'heard' there were MYs 'available' at his local service center (presumably due to cancellations) so went down and, it seems, got one. Changed his order on the spot. Never heard...

Hey, All. I just received this official email from Tesla, Brooklyn. Seems like we finally have an answer of sorts about delays. They're closing the store and, when they return, will use contactless delivery. Did anyone else get the same email? See below: I hope this message finds you and your...

Congrats. Awesome

Really? May I ask in what city? Secondly, at what point did you get assigned the VIN?

Yeah, I understand. The Tesla guy that I spoke to - as he prepared the Model Y to drive off - asked me for my Y RN so he could tell me where my car is. I gave it to him. He said he'd write back with details. He never did. That was disappointing because he seemed such a nice guy - I mean, just...

No Deliveries in NY? I just drove past the Brooklyn Tesla location (Van Brunt St). There was a Model Y out front so I pulled over. The Tesla guy was screwing on the number plates with the new owner in the car (Midnight Silver Performance - very, very nice) about to drive away. Tesla guy said the...

My thanks to all that responded. That helps a lot. And, yes, bchan911 - awesome checklist. You're a star.

Hi all, Excuse my ignorance - I've never bought a car in the US (I married an American and moved here). And buying a car online creates further questions. Getting insurance seems simple but what about registration and getting the number plates? Can you please make suggestion to my checklist...

You guys are awesome. Thanks for the help.

Hi, All - I'm looking for a little advice. I ordered my Model Y in October. I got a Tesla confirmation email with a RN number. What happens next? At some point will I receive a Tesla email about payment/delivery etc or do I need to actively do something? I see people referring to a Tesla Account...

Tesla is now advertising white pearl as standard on the Y. What does that mean for those that have already ordered white? Secondly, is this an indication of Tesla now wanting more orders for the Y (at the expense of the 3)? Are we closer to delivery than the advertised late 2020?

Apologies to those that responded yesterday, now looking for New York City replies... This quote is about the average I'm getting: State Farm $248 month / $2,968 annually. Seems high. Would love to know what others are getting. Model 3 Long Range AWD Bodily Injury: 100K / 300K total...

Thanks all. Wow - mine so high? Anyone out there insured in NY? Brooklyn? Oh - my quote was for a Long Range AWD M3

Hey, All, I've been shopping around for insurance (Model 3) and there's been some crazy quotes. But there's this one (State Farm) - it's middle range. Can you give me your opinion? Bodily Injury: 100K / 300K total Property Damage: 100K Comprehensive: 1K deductible Collision: 1 k deductible...

Thanks all for your replies. Very, very helpful. Some asked what M3 we've decided on? The Long Range AWD - so higher end. We would prefer the MY but it's just too far off for our needs. Thanks - you're an awesome bunch.

Hello, All. My wife and I have agreed to purchase the M3. We’re ready to go. We don’t, however, need the car until the spring of 2020 – I won’t bore you with the reasons. Perhaps a silly question but please humor me: should we buy now and claim the $1,875 tax credit? Or wait for March and buy...

Thanks to those that responded. I really appreciate those ideas. It helps me a lot.

Opinions, please. For those of us that want a Tesla but can't live (long term) with the limited cargo of the 3... I may need to purchase either a used MS or base model M3 until the arrival of the Y. I expect to do only 15,000 miles in that time. What option would see the least depreciation? Base...

Yep, I'm seeing the same thing (my zip) - very little movement on Tesla's CPO site. Cars are just sitting there.

Many thanks for your feedback, all. Tesla removing free supercharging from eligible CPO cars last week did weaken the case to buy. But, yes, good advice to buy with the aim of replacing in 2.5 years. I just need to guess at the level of depreciation and if that's worth it. Many thanks.

Hello All. I’ve made the decision to buy an EV. My budget is $52K. The Model 3 is great but for the limited cargo space. The Model Y, with sufficient cargo, realistically is 18 months away. I want the car in the next 6 months. Which brings me to a CPO Model S. E.g a late 2016 75D under 50k...
