    3 and Y wrap/clearbra recommendations in the Houston area?

    Thanks! I did reach out and was quoted about $500 which...is great but doesn't quite jive with the $1800+ quotes I've given for XPEL PPF. Is it a matter of material, or am I getting quoted wildly different things?

    3 and Y wrap/clearbra recommendations in the Houston area?

    Hello, We have a white 3 and a MSM Y and would like to install a clearbra on the 3 and do a full matte wrap on the Y - any recommendations in the Houston area? It's hard to gauge when the few quotes I got are literally all over the place, so I thought I'd come to the experts here. Hopefully I...

    Tesla Model Y: INTERIOR color choice?

    Our model 3 is white on white. Out model Y is MSM on white. We live in Texas and I’m Italian so I suppose that addresses some of the prior comments . I think it really is all about what you like. I really didn’t care for the wood grain. With only one piece in that finish to me it felt random...

    Window polish fix?

    Hello. Fully realizing this is a bit ocd but you know when you notice a small blemish and then it’s all You notice... couple of spots on the side of one of the glass panels (where the side cameras are) show what looks to be areas where the polish was scratched off. My initial reaction was to...

    Texas Plates & Registration

    I did but as you know they gave them to me in person which was unexpected.

    Texas Plates & Registration

    What Sparky said - for my M3 last year, the taxes were in the grand total on the MVPA but were still paid outside the loan. But we paid them to Tesla and they did all the registration paperwork - they sent us a Fedex package to sign and Fedex to our county and a few weeks later we got our...

    Texas Plates & Registration

    Well So this was an interesting turn of events. I emailed Harris County tax office with a scan of all my paperwork to confirm I had the taxes right (ugh, big check). THey responded asking if I could go to my local tax office the next day at 9:30. So I did - wrote the check, brought the...

    Texas Plates & Registration

    Hello! I thought I'd ask how the process is going. I received the paperwork last Friday and have had zero luck getting in touch with the Harris County tax office. I will follow your lead and calculate everything - I retrieved my inspection paperwork and send it all out. Would love to know how...

    I'll keep sending emails - I tried calling but I was online for 45 minutes and no one every picked up. Seems like Dallas is ON IT!

    Texas Model Ys

    Interesting - we got the 3 in October 2019 and they did it all within 3 weeks or so. No extra paper tags needed. Either way what I don't understand is that my county offices are closed, my tags expire in 2 weeks and I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing...

    Texas Model Ys

    keep me posted! I emailed and I received a precanned response with instructions how to register a used vehicle. Honestly the way Tesla just dropped this in my lap is total BS. It wasn’t the case for our 3.

    Harris county, at least the one near me, is completely closed. They say to go online but all I find is registration renewal info.

    Texas Model Ys

    Sorta related...been enjoying my AWD LR MSM/White interior for a couple of weeks now. Several dings/issues that I am taking into the shop for next week but nothing major. Registration - I got the forms in the mail. With our 3, the forms came with a pre-addressed Fedex envelope I could just...

    Voice command won’t open the glovebox?

    Anyone else seeing this? Works flawlessly on my 3...I get a response that the command is not available yet.

    Reverse sound?

    Got it! Thanks for letting me know. I’m so used to our 3 making the UFO noise that it caught my eye (or ear?) right away!

    Reverse sound?

    Hello I just picked up my shiny new Y to go with my wife’s 3 (I was jealous). Learning all the similarities and differences. But I did notice right away that my Y doesn’t make any noise when going in reverse. Is that by design? Or an issue? Not sure if I should call the service center. FWIW I...

    AWD Non-Performance White Interior Waiting Room

    Picked up mine on Friday in Houston! Hang in there it will be worth the wait!

    Texas Model Ys

    Yes I did this process for my wife's model 3. It all worked out - nothing really remarkable. The only thing I will say is that by the time the Fedex package got to us, we had an incredibly short turn-around time because it came with a warning that if it wasn't completed within 30 days (or...

    Can't apply referral code to existing Model Y order

    So one way to confirm, is to check the owner of that code - in their account it should show under "Friends ordered" - can you verify? That would help all of us who are getting denied a much stronger argument for it...

    Texas Model Ys

    Question on delivery dates. When one appeared on your account page, did it pretty much end up sticking, or was it changed? As of Monday I have a VIN and speaking with the service center on that same day, they scheduled a 6/25 date. I have since gotten insurance, finalized my loan and...

    Can't apply referral code to existing Model Y order

    I believe you but unfortunately it seems that we are at the mercy of whoever we are interacting with, as I was told the same (can't do it with an Oct 30 order).

    AWD Non-Performance White Interior Waiting Room

    Same config - VIN in the code, received paperwork from delivery advisor with the VIN. Looks like the web site is slow to catch up. MVPA is up though.

    Please pay off your remaining balance prior to delivery...

    I answered my own question...they are asking for my $$ down. Does anyone have experience changing that amount? Since I have been making payments to myself monthly, the one silver lining with the covid delay is I have saved more to put down. Or is it best to stick with what I have and just...

    Please pay off your remaining balance prior to delivery...

    Hello I logged into my Tesla account as I have been doing...daily, lol. My account was updated with the " Please pay off your remaining balance prior to delivery" status which is great! Only confusing thing is that I am financing this vehicle (as I had selected back in March before the...

    Texas Model Ys

    Thank you! I did that yesterday and the folks in North Houston were super helpful. We talked about adding Homelink (suggested scheduling mobile service once I have the car unlike my 3 which I had to bring there), and when he looked up my order he said I'm likely still idle from October because...

    North Houston is also my delivery center - I have no date or VIN despite ordering back in October (and it's my second Tesla). How did you get through to the right person at the service center? I never seem to have any luck...

    AWD Non-Performance White Interior Waiting Room

    Well hello! Joining the waiting room, I will take a number. MSM/White LR AWD 20" induction, FSD. Ordered October 2019.

    Anyone not get the text blast yesterday?

    Nothing here either. MSM/White interior, LR AWD 20" FSD...not. a. thing. Ordered Oct 2019.

    Updates on black MY?

    The wait is killing me!! MSM/White interior LR AWD 20" FSD -- the last convo on chat I had, I was told they weren't making white interiors just yet but would be "soon"...though if they're saying 4-8 weeks for new order, I assume "soon" means within that timeframe? I ordered my vehicle October...

    Anyone just receive this email?

    Gotcha - yeah after I read this I went into Safari Developer tools and pulled up the code. No VIN for me yet!

    Anyone just receive this email?

    Wait what is this VIN finder magic you speak of? It says it can "read and change your data Tesla.com"

    Anyone just receive this email?

    Same! And my loan app expires today so I guess I will need a second hit on my credit. Also, haven't been able to connect with delivery advisor. She called me last week - didn't leave a message (I recognized the number) but voicemail and email have gone unanswered. I can extend my loan app...

    Got a call for delivery

    Same here. In fact my loan approval expires in a week :/ Sounds like I will have to do that again.

    Got a call for delivery

    Ahhh same exact specs! I got two phonecalls from them today but everytime I picked up it sounds dead on the other end, so I called the number back (from NV) and got the delivery specialist's voicemail saying to email her instead but I can't quite make out her name!! #killingme I've been at the...

    Making Changes to my Y order?

    Yeah The joy of Tesla indeed. lol. I made a last ditch effort by visiting my local gallery and to their credit they did attempt to see what they could do but that's the policy and they couldn't change it. I lost my cost savings by making a change but honestly I also didn't want a car that I...

    Making Changes to my Y order?

    Right. I think the part that I find most annoying is the incorrect information that I received from the “official” channels.

    Making Changes to my Y order?

    I’m not looking to pick a fight here. No one on this forum told me changes wouldn’t change the price. But both employees at the gallery and on chat told me that changes shouldn’t affect pricing once I locked it in so I took their assessment as more valuable than on a forum. And yes if I go...

    Making Changes to my Y order?

    To be fair the agreement says "may" so there is plenty of wiggle room. Wiggle room that was confirmed with every chat I did after I placed the order, with things like "don't worry, plenty of time to make changes, you will need to speak to the sales team to do that though" etc. not to mention...

    Making Changes to my Y order?

    Thanks for the responses. I will just sit tight for now. The other thing I wanted to do was change the exterior color of the car (current selection is pearl white) but again it's a hard pill to swallow that on top of the color upgrade cost (which I know I would have to pay and that's fine)...
  42. L

    Making Changes to my Y order?

    Thank you. I will look around. I tried doing a chat through the web site, but all they did is gave me my local Tesla gallery's number and the guy on the phone said rather bluntly that at this time all prices would be updated. :(

    Making Changes to my Y order?

    Hello, My wife's Model 3 was lonely, so we placed an order for a Model Y last year before FSD went up to $7K. However, I am not a huge fan of the Gemini wheels and I thought I'd also switch out colors...but when I go through the process online, I end up with a price that's $1990 higher than...

    Dead pedal - dead in 2020

    I just took delivery of a new Model 3 last week. It is indeed a 2020. So much so that there was a discrepancy with the VIN (which resolved as a 2020 model on the insurance carrier system and the DMV) and Tesla's delivery paperwork which said 2019. They went and changed it. There is no dead...
