Quick update, the SC diagnosed the issue as caused by an improperly seated connector, no parts were replaced and the issues seem to have been resolved.

I might want to add I have three active alerts: VCRIGHT_a538_hvacSystemNotNominal -- this just means there is a fault in the system and made the climate keeper unavailable VCRIGHT_a271_THSSensorFault -- one or more sensors on the THS is reporting a fault, okay but it appears to me all the...

Just got the same error today in my March built MY, I noticed the automatic climate control hasn't been working the way I got used to, like very little cold air is coming from the front vents but rear seats are fine, had to turn on bioweapon defense mode to get the air really going. AC seems to...

Thanks a lot, got this done and it's a little scary as the whole panel kinda falls down on you, the screws are behind the grille so you'll have to remove the mesh grille first, but otherwise not terribly difficult. Now the subwoofer will be a challenger since I have a 7 seater so access will be...

I need to access the subwoofer enclosure in my 7 seater Model Y but discovered the 3rd row seaters appear to be blocking the passenger side panel that need to be removed. I've seen plenty of videos online to demonstrate how to access the woofer in a regular 5 seater, but nothing on the 7...

Did you install the two mid ranges in the rear trunk lid? If so is there an instruction or video for it? I wonder why they designed it to be used in the trunk lid vs rear doors, IIRC they are both plastic welded in place.

Thanks for the info, I did give it a try but didn't make any difference, so I'll schedule a service appointment. For my new MY I probably will ceramic coat the lens to keep it clear longer. One thing though since MY's camera sits higher it's far less likely to get muddy than my 3's.

Just found this thread, my Model 3 backup camera has very significant haze over the image that it's start to degrade the effectiveness (I need it to aim at certain marks on the floor to be able to park it at a tight spot). This is after cleaning it really well. Has anyone complained about this...

I'm looking at installing a cover over the license plate (not frame) but discovered that most came with screws that are too large for the four holes on the Tesla license plate backing. Anyone else have this issue? The Tesla supplied screws are simply too short to allow mounting of a cover over...

Yeah I ended up changing delivery center to Fife and took delivery there, it does have lower tax rates.

Agree with the above, you kinda have to have wait until the electric wine sound to finish and then push, but not wait too long. For me pushing the seat forward takes some force but the forward momentum is enough to initiate the tilting motion.

That's a good callout, I'll make sure not to use AP when I bring the vehicle back for service. I know right? It's so damn obvious that I'm surprised no one said anything, not just off the assembly line but at the delivery center!

Finally took delivery of my MYLR7, originally ordered in August and went through multiple holds, besides a few small issues the experience is good. The 3rd row is definitely cozy but works for our use case.

Just took delivery today of my MYLR7 and found a comical error by Tesla, apparently someone at Fremont forgot to install the internal trim piece inside the front Autopilot camera housing. It's also clear that zero QA check was done on the car as the issue is such a glaring mistake that you'll...

Not recent experience but should apply here, when I bought my 2020 M3SR+ the tax credit was taken off at point of sale, essentially Tesla only collected sales tax beyond the incentive amount (I thought it was $25k at that time). They count the vehicle sale price as vehicle base + options...

Similar situation here, applied on 2/19 and got conditional approval in early March, I can see my loan amount and term but no APR. Did you message them asking for the rate?

Well, one side of the 2nd row 40/60 seat has both seats on the same cushion, so you can remove the back but you'd have to cut the cushion to clear a space for a center isle. Besides the rails down below is not going to be able to accommodate that. On the other hand it's possible to remove the...

I admire your confidence in Tesla delivering those features, but how long have those TACC limitations being in place, pushing two years now? Not sure about your definition of temporary but sounds to me Tesla underestimated the technical challenge and can no longer determine an ETA. Same thing...

I absolutely agree, I have to deal with way too many parking garages with those huge columns placed at the "entrance" to the spots, or in areas with shorter obstacles such as flower beds or really tall curbs. A surround view camera can also enable unique angles such as passenger side front wheel...

I disagree about depreciation, I think it'll be real, average buyer will care about tangible things such as 360 degree surround view more than megacastings and structural battery pack, especially when the latter has a range penalty right now. I have no plans to use FSD so the computer itself...

What people are concerned here is the potential of taking delivery of a MY and miss out the biggest facelift the model has ever had in 3 years, and will remain "up to date" for the foreseeable future. This is going to be a much much more significant upgrade than HW3 from HW2.5 as it offers a...

If Green is right and HW4 will be introduced in MY by mid summer (I'm not even talking about June), then we should be seeing MY covered mules by now, and line upgrade should start within a month. Those are major, major changes that won't start overnight and without being noticed. I'm very...

Got it, that makes sense, I can see when applying for their savings account I can choose eligibility and pick BC3 as the option.

Guys, consider this, we've seen the Highland cars with camo front and rear for how many months now? And Giga Shanghai has just started line upgrades to probably produce the cars in the second half of the year. We haven't seen anything on the MY yet and likely will see camouflaged test vehicles...

Did you become a member by opening a checking account? I see it's recommended to become member of the BC3 Alumni Association by paying 20 bucks, but on the BC3 website it says to become member check Armco website. I don't see anywhere that you can pay the BC3 membership fee to become eligible.

My hope is that in due time we'll be able to buy a DIY 360 surround view camera system off Aliexpress for $1000. 😂

Pretty sure that's a placement holder plastic piece for the M3SR+ fog light (i.e. only a yellow marker but no main LED bulb).

I'll be taking delivery tomorrow and initially I considered rejecting the VIN and wait for investor day, but come to think about it even if they announce HW4 in March it's unlikely to come to Y/3 in a month, since I need a car before the end of April there is really no reason to wait. I don't...

Yeah changing from Lynnwood to Fife will save about $300 in sales tax, but since my car is already at Lynnwood changing delivery location means rejecting the VIN and wait for the next one, that's something I don't want to do and risk not getting the car until after March.

Thanks, glad to hear that there might be a process to handle that, I'll be sure to ask the SA at my delivery appointment. I'm kinda bummed that my delivery SC (Lynnwood) is clear across town and has the highest sales tax resulting in some $350 more sales tax, oh well.

Thanks, that helps a lot! Kinda annoyed I have to pick up the car from a SC with the highest tax rate (Lynnwood, 10.6%)........I live in a non RTA area and my local tax rate is only 8.7%.

Since sales rate depends on the delivery center location, anyone know the difference in sales tax rates among the Seattle area SCs? Namely the ones in Fife, Renton, Seattle, Lynnwood, and Bellevue? I know the standard WA state sales tax is 6.8% plus 0.3% motor vehicle tax, but not sure about the...

Good call, I'll need to dig into it, but since Tesla hasn't provided me with a response I don't have too many options.

I'm in Southeast King County and instead of letting me pick up from Fife, Renton, or Bellevue they shipped my car to Lynnwood!

They're not symmetrical, at least not the ones from Aliexpress, all covers are the same. I wonder if the affect will be significant, considering the Tesla 20" Ulberturbine wheels are also not symmetrical.

This is getting really weird, they gave me a SC that's the farthest away from me even though there are 3 other closer SCs. So I contacted them via text on the 510 number, and instead of give me an answer they said if I don't schedule delivery by tomorrow my car will be reassigned and my order...

See my signature.

Just got my VIN assigned today! EDD has been further narrowed to 02/11/23-02/20/23.

When you get closer to delivery someone from the 510 area code may text you to ask you to complete your pre delivery tasks. Between that and order placement don't expect any contact from a SA.

Yup this is the one: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804677001144.html I think the cost difference is even greater as TSportsline one comes to $292 total including shipping and tax. Aliexpress is the way to go if you can wait a few weeks.

I don't think it's an oversight at all, due to the 19" alloy wheel design if you want a true Uberturbine look, meaning the 14 spoke design seen here, you're bound to show some wheel spoke behind. The only way to avoid that is to have less but thicker spokes on the cover, however IMO those don't...

I saw Tsportsline now has a new cover as well, check it out: TSY14 Tesla Model Y Uberturbine Look Aero Wheel Cover for 19" Factory Tesla Wheel

The price is very very reasonable given the convenience and added feature, it's a process to connect to your phone's hotspot every time you start the car.

No it does not, the 7 seater does not have the lip on the interior panels to support this parcel shelf.

My 2 week window has been pushed back by another week, now Feb 5 to Feb 19.

Is there a factory floormat for the 3rd row?

You are placed in line once you remove the hold, so in your case it's Jan 8th, original order date matter very little here. I ordered in Aug and removed hold on Dec 21st, EDD is now Jan 30 to Feb 15. Considering we're in the same geographic region I think it's pretty safe to say a bunch of 7...

Yeah wait a couple of months if you can, with the influx of orders I think Tesla will start to build and then maintain a healthy backlog (~3 month), then we can really see the used value stabilize.

So for people who ordered before the price drop, and got the lowered $52,990 price, will it automatically go up by $500 like if went down before? 😂
