    Insurance required before delivery?

    you can provide Tesla an insurance card for your current vehicle to show you carry insurance and then replace it with the correct one when they give you your VIN. i read that on here in February and it worked fine.

    Rear cross beam a big issue?

    Teslas are by FAR the safest cars on the road. there is nothing higher than a top safety pick plus but tesla blows other cars away in safety. for every argument you make up about a particular imagined scenario where someone is hurt, their engineers can show you something else, probably in a more...

    Issues with Model Y wireless phone charger

    i have a galaxy s20 ultra. without the case it barely fits in the OEM charger, and when i take the case off, it apparently doesn't line up properly anyway. i ordered the taptes that can work horizontally. hopefully it will get here soon

    Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 SUV

    i agree, i took mine sight unseen and i had already ruled out the GLC for various reasons.

    Perf Y Spoiler coming off?

    i agree. especially on the white vehicle, they don't add anything and might even take away

    Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 SUV

    my last vehicle before i got the y was an MB e300 sedan so my comments are a little different. the mercedes are gorgeous. but i found the controls vastly over complicated (and i'm a gadget and computer geek for many years) the sound system is much better though the AMG probably has upgraded...

    Auto park curbed my rims!

    i got mine (myself, no FSD) the second day. fortunately it wasn't that bad and a little sanding and black paint took care of it. but that's all it took.

    Insurance Quote

    i'm a long time agent in NY. my insurance is with progressive and went DOWN by $200 when i went from my MB e300 to the Y. Others on here have also indicated progressive has great rates for teslas.

    Rear Window Visibility

    i agree i feel like i'm driving a 40's coupe with that back window, but it hasn't bothered me at all. there was a movie called Gumball Rally where one of the drivers ripped off his rear view mirror and said 'what's behind me, doesn't matter'

    Just got notification for update for 12.10!

    Wireless Charging Pad

    thanks. i will check that out. the otter box is a great case too but sure why not?

    Wireless Charging Pad

    yes i'm spoiled, and in fact i do ride a regular bike to work in the warmer months, and also have a bike at the office for around town. no electric bikes, i need the exercise!

    Wireless Charging Pad

    i think for what i need it will be fine horizontally on the new charger. with the big android auto buttons it's easy to use and really i just want to be able to change playlists occasionally. i drive a mile and a half to my office so most of the time i don't need to charge on the road but it's...

    Tesla Model Y - Auto Insurance

    i'm an insurance agency owner. i didn't check allstate or the other direct writers but progressive has great rates for my Y and i've seen them mentioned in several threads

    Wireless Charging Pad

    have you checked out android auto for phones? it gives you the interface on your phone, and bluetooth for sound and music. though i agree, would be nice if tesla added support for wireless android auto still my galaxy s20 ultra is big enough to make a cool second screen.

    Wireless Charging Pad

    i have the galaxy s20 ultra in an otter box and it won't fit so i ordered the taptes charger that charges one phone horizontally or 2 vertically. haven't gotten it yet, will post

    Opinions and tips, please - Body Side Molding

    thanks, my car is not garaged unfortunately, my collectible BMW is in there. but i also park at our firehouse daily where folks are more careful. my fear is in parking lots where strangers could care less. i did order the film for the door edges but honestly if i wanted to spend the kind of...

    I want a Metallic Silver please Elon

    there was no color among the choices that i really would have chosen. so i stuck with the white which looks great, but eventually will probably have it wrapped or painted. have always wanted something in true candy apple, but some of the color changing wraps are beautiful too.

    Opinions and tips, please - Body Side Molding

    hi all. My Y is the first car i've bought rather than leased in a loooong time. years ago when i owned, i always put body side molding on to prevent the parking lot door opening dings. I have seen a few pics of tesla's with added molding. Can't decide if it looks ok or not. if i do go for some...

    Taking 3 day old Model Y for repair, and $100 Uber credit per day!

    not the same issue. i just checked, my seats are the same height. this is just a stiffness in the hinges and such on the left seats. when you push the button to lower them, it requires a nudge if the right seat is also up. just stiff. otherwise the interior is beautiful.

    Taking 3 day old Model Y for repair, and $100 Uber credit per day!

    my back seats are a little inconsistent too, i kind of was taking it that they need to break in a little but i'm sure others are worse.

    PSA Frunk Dents Super Easy

    i noticed similar issues with the frunk. i don't really plan on using it too often either.

    Put car on hold

    yeah i had a little back and forth BS with them too. but have to say i love the car and it feels like the perfect vehicle for me. exactly the right size, quicker than anything i've ever driven and holds the road like it's on rails. and i'm having a great time customizing a little, since this is...

    No longer sure i want a tesla at all...

    definitely not. much quieter at lower speeds, about the same at highway cruising, the noise is just different. the mercedes had a turbo 4. pretty amazing engine, got 36 MPG on long trips several times, and 0-60 in 6.2. but at idle it sounded like a diesel and the NVH characteristics were pretty...

    No longer sure i want a tesla at all...

    hi. sorry, been posting other places. the car is terrific. perfect size for me, more comfortable than the mercedes i just turned in. drives like a dream. and yes, non-performance AWD LR white with induction wheels. this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship LOL.

    Put car on hold

    it wasn't the best timing, but i took delivery of mine yesterday. we are working from home and my office will be OK. i haven't posted it on my personal facebook page yet because i agree, not a time to flaunt things. but i've also been at my office 43 years and folks know. i got a few razzes when...

    VIN re-appeared, NY deliveries now open

    yes, yesterday in the rain. thanks for asking. it's great. some minor panel gap issues but nothing i'm going to worry about since it's quiet and squeak-free. but as a computer/gadget geek since 1979, i can say that i'm having a lot of fun playing with the system. drives amazing, roomier than the...

    Anyone buying Tesla Model Y in cash?

    No longer sure i want a tesla at all...

    exactly. a bump on a rocker panel is exactly the kind of thing that can happen. and in a few weeks or a couple of months, things will hopefully be more normal

    No longer sure i want a tesla at all...

    just had a call from the service center. they found a small dent in a rocker panel. they said it's hardly noticeable but they would fix it, did i want to take delivery and bring it back at a better time or re-schedule. i am taking the car, i told them as long as i have it in writing that they...

    No longer sure i want a tesla at all...

    me neither, but it's coming back as i go over my delivery checklist and put my little bag together for tomorrow. plates, usb drive with all my music, insurance cards... just hope there are minimal defects

    No longer sure i want a tesla at all...

    the person who called from the local center was very helpful and pleasant, a first except for the guys at the tesla store who, let's face it, get paid to be nice. anyway we exchanged a couple of emails including my insurance card, and i should be all set for tomorrow. right now going over the...

    No longer sure i want a tesla at all...

    thanks. yes it seems the service is pretty good, it's the delivery folks who consistently get the mediocre reviews. glad to hear. but to me it's not even the delivery folks, it's the system. they don't communicate. if things are changing or delayed, send the emails that every other company we...

    VIN re-appeared, NY deliveries now open

    yes, i was quite surprised that it was the same one. i was certain in my head that they had done as you said, but maybe things changed so fast that they just continued. who knows, they are the worst at communicating, i guess as many folks on here have said, because they can be, because we're all...

    VIN re-appeared, NY deliveries now open

    thanks. i am dong the 'touchless' pickup at a center. i don't know what made them change their minds though i'm sure a lot of it is as simple as wanting to deliver vehicles and having this weirdness mess everything up. it was actually my wife who said the other morning 'are they going to give...

    not really sure, maybe they opened the electronic part. but i'm transferring plates so no issue for me. i mean eventually yes, but 30 day temp is fine to pick up

    @johnmodely yes i was able to select, this saturday. this is a rapid turnaround for them but i'm not complaining.

    VIN re-appeared, NY deliveries now open

    So since i vented on here yesterday, i figured it's only fair to now vent that i got the text that NY centers have re-opened and i have scheduled delivery for Saturday at Noon. AND it's the same vehicle, the vin re-appeared. still not sure about how this all came about but i'll take it.
