    January 2022 Order Delivery Dates

    I submitted mine a day or two before to avoid any holdups at delivery. It didn't actually get debited from my bank account until 3-4 days after (Saturday) delivery. We really should say pickup - ha ha, I don't think anyone gets theirs delivered any more.

    Mobile charger quit working tonight

    I've gone through 3 or 4 UMC's over the years. Every time mine failed I got some form of blinking red code on the brick and the the charge ring on the car would usually turn red. I wonder if maybe something went wrong with your adapter. I'd try switching the adapter out with your other one, or...

    Austin-built MYLR Delivery

    I've had my Austin built MYLR for a month and I'm very happy with it. For a while it seemed like everyone wanted an Austin MY because it is supposed to have, I believe, a one piece stamped steel frame which I guess is supposed to be lighter and give quieter ride, or something like that, but now...

    MPH charging speeds for mobile connector 14-50 at 32 amps

    Mine is charging at 30 mph right now. Intersting because it’s the same 14-50 UMC I used to charge my Model S which typically charged at 32a and 23-24 mph. I’ve assumed that’s because the heavier MS usually used around 300 wh/mile whereas I suppose the Y requires less. My experience in brief...

    January 2022 Order Delivery Dates

    Congrats and enjoy. I would usually have the trip meter on my dash display in MS. I just looked at the owners manual and looks like it can be pulled up in control screen. After 9+ years of free charging, I had some Supercharger sticker shock today. I had to pee so stopped at the Halifax SC to do...

    Tesla just canceled my delivery 1 hour before pickup

    Wow. It’s a one hour drive to my service center so that would have been painful. The right thing to do would have been to deliver with the current wheels, give you option of keeping them no extra charge and if not, send mobile service to replace when available. Few years ago that’s how it would...

    So Long Old Friend

    Yeah, I was hoping something would happen to get me a warranty replacement on the battery in 2020/21, ha ha. The ride is smoother and acceleration is quicker than I expected on the Y. The latest bells and whistles are nice to have but I miss the big screen/map and I liked the dash screen info...

    So Long Old Friend

    Traded in my Model S yesterday for a new Model Y. 9.5 years, 128k miles. Plenty of repair work over the years but it was always seamless and hassle free. I paid a $200 warranty co-pay maybe twice. Still trying to get the Model Y seat as comfortable as the old cloth seat on the S. I dont think I...

    January 2022 Order Delivery Dates

    I had my pickup yesterday. I did ACH plaid payment through the app before I left home. No problems. The pickup was very smooth. I traded in my Model S, a little sad as she was a great car. Spent about 5-10 minutes signing papers and the SA installed my plates from the MS onto my new Y. Car was...

    Got VIN number assigned on 08/29 and the delivery date keeps bumping up by 1 day.

    I think it is likely a more widespread slowdown as the two sides piss on each other with a strike looming. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-trucking-group-asks-congress-avert-rail-shutdowns-2022-09-09/

    Got VIN number assigned on 08/29 and the delivery date keeps bumping up by 1 day.

    There have apparently been delays with train transport. My delivery was scheduled for this past Saturday but then got cancelled, it's now on for Wednesday.

    Tesla model S battery Failed

    It's harder to contact service outside the app these days but I would elevate it past the service center. Someone goofed and put a new battery in or that's all they had and were trying to move your car out quickly. My guess is once the battery is installed, it's no longer "new" and they can't...

    UMC Voucher and delivery question

    My UMC arrived today, ordered on 9/1, Labor Day holiday I’m sure delayed delivery. It would have arrived while I was in Richmond to pick up the new Model Y but my delivery was delayed on that and now rescheduled for Wednesday.

    Thoughts on next vehicle...

    I am trading in my Model S for a Y any day now (as soon as rail yard delays clear up they say). I only did a short test drive in a friends Y so I can post back soon with a more personal space comparison. I had a Model X loaner a few years ago and my overall impression was “meh”. My kids were 13...

    January 2022 Order Delivery Dates

    I have had my window pushed back a couple of times just before entering it. My window shrank to 5 or 7 days around time a VIN assigned. One communication barrier for me was my phone. Tesla service has long had my cell phone but my website account had my landline phone # , which I didn't...

    January 2022 Order Delivery Dates

    Congrats guys, your new cars look great! Still on track to pick mine up Saturday. Mine has black interior and now kinda wish I’d have gone with white. Since ordering mine we got a new dog who sheds white hair and I spent a lot of time yesterday cleaning white hair off the seats of my trade in...

    UMC Voucher and delivery question

    Maybe so. I've replaced the UMC 3 times over the years and I seem to remember seeing the $1500 for one of them but looking back at my service records everything was free under warranty. so no prices recorded.Maybe the HPWC cost fixed in my brain for the UMC.

    Ouch, my guess is fixable once you can talk to someone on the phone. Reminds of the time a friend accidentally bought 2 Priuses off eBay.

    UMC Voucher and delivery question

    There was some discussion on this in one of the delivery threads and apparently, and maybe service center dependent, not routinely provided with the vehicle at delivery, even for the previously promised pre-April orders. I got a voucher on Thursday for my January ordered MYLR and bought a UMC...

    January 2022 Order Delivery Dates

    She gave me a couple of 2 hour windows on Saturday and said I could come pretty much any time in the window. Car is supposed to arrive Wednesday some time I think she said and she told me they could have it ready by Friday afternoon but I’m working.

    Problems with Frunk

    I had a problem on my Model S last year where it would do the first stage latch, I think the safety catch so it doesn't fly up into the windshield but wouldn't lock all the way down. It would sit open about an inch and I would have to drive around looking kind of stupid, not to mention look at...

    So I have a pickup date scheduled, 9/10! I got a text yesterday asking if I had any questions and replied that I had several. We set up a time to speak and this AM we scheduled the pickup time and my questions on payment were answered. She also reopened the link to set up trade in, so that...

    I bet. This was 70's and early 80's. My Dad would drive the chevy Blazer on the beach and through a pathway behind the sand dunes at the south end of the island. We'd occasionally pull out regular cars that got stuck. I remember one car that got too close to the water next to the inlet and...

    I got an email with the code today and just used it to buy one. Tax and shipping charges disappear when you use the code. I’ll post up when I get it. I’ve yet to get a text on this purchase even though they use my mobile phone routinely for service communications over the years. I would love to...

    Sell or Keep 2013 Model S?

    Haven't sold it yet but planning on doing one of the car buying services. My Y delivery window is 9/6-9/9 so I'll probably start shopping it on Friday. In the spring, when I thought my delivery window was June, I got offers $18-20k from a couple of services and Tesla was much lower. The delivery...

    January 2022 Order Delivery Dates

    Well played sir, I usually consider myself internet sarcasm savvy but missed out on that one. Having a VIN is good, but then you get to the “when am I gong to know about delivery time so I can gather funds and do all the other stuff needed for a new car?”

    Hmm, I‘ve never seen that button. I got a VIN a few days ago. Really is a pretty haphazard process. I’ve gotten a couple of emails with links to videos available in the app. I got one call to my land line, so no texts. Tesla service has always contacted me through my mobile or the app. I just...

    Time to replace the P85D but not excited about any of the options

    I agonized this past winter and spring as my warranty on my 2013 85 expired in March. Ended up ordering a Y which should arrive within the next month (but really who can tell with the ever changing delivery estimates?). My old S doesn’t really have any rattles, except for a loudish thunk when...

    I too have had complete radio silence until yesterday. My 2 week window started today and a got a VM yesterday asking for updated info for trade in.

    Sell or Keep 2013 Model S?

    That’s pretty jacked up and I would want more detail on such a dramatic change in the range. I never did the MCU upgrade on mine as the only thing I’ve noticed is longer wake times. Mine was “battery gated” (which I’m still kind of hazy in the details about) a couple of years ago and my max...

    Tesla certified body shop recommendations in the DC/Maryland area?

    They did very nice work on front end deer strike on mine. Only quibble is they didn't calibrate headlights properly so I was blinding oncoming drivers for 2-3 weeks before I figured out to fix it, ha ha.

    2013 rear drive unit failure

    Mine is on 3rd drive unit, now at 125k miles, all replaced under warranty. First one was about 2016-2017 making a high pitched whine. 2nd one replaced in late 2020 while still under warranty. It was making a loud metallic thunk on starts, occasionally on regen. Within a week or two on the new...

    Awful delivery today

    I’d talk it over with the Tesla people, see what happens with your place in queue if you reject. What will you drive while you wait? I think it’s very likely the car will be fine now but I would insist they deliver it to me if I accept it.

    Screen viewing by old eyes

    I'd suggest a trip to the optometrist with this question if not done already. My near vision has gone bad over the past few years and didn't realize how much detail I was missing out on the screen until looking at it with readers. I now wear progressive lens for driving and watching TV, but...

    I have exact exact build ordered. My window is 8/24-9/7 but haven't heard a peep. A few months ago, I put in for trade in of my Model S but recently unchecked that option as the offer I got then was pretty lowball compared to Carvana, etc. I wasn't sure if everyone gets a trade in text/email or...

    Being pushed by Tesla to take delivery this month?

    Happened to me January order, original EDD in June. one day in early March I got an email saying my car is ready and please schedule pick up Within the next week. I couldn’t do it for several reasons and passed on it. General consensus is that it was one like mine somebody else passed on. I went...

    How's Your AC Holding Up? My Compressor's Loud, Failed 3 Times in 3 Years, and Struggles to Cool. Also "same" repair jumped from $1,195 → $2,030.

    I had tremendous problems with my AC when I first got the car in 2013 and even when working it was really loud (super loud humming noise). Somewhere along the way the compressor got replaced after the compressor completely failed (on a road trip to Charleston in the summer unfortunately) after...

    Just happened to me, too, same window, changed from the Aug 7, 2 week window. Pretty frustrating, I was going to go ahead and set up the loan, glad I didn’t now. On the other hand, by October, I may have enough cash on hand to not get a loan. Trade in value on my Model S keeps dropping though as...
