I’m trading my Lexus for a Tesla. The only thing I’ll miss about it is the luxurious, plush interiors and my red leather seats. It’s also pretty quiet. Excited about pretty much everything else on my Model Y! I can’t wait to ditch ICE cars.

Not sure it’s an error. Hip room is probably smaller because they made the middle seat wider.

It's my favorite part of the Performance so far!

Those Uberturbines are beautiful! I will cry when I put my first curb rash on them. But I don't care. They're beautiful!

Those are the EXACT colors I'm still trying to choose from! I'm going to the Fremont Delivery Center this Sunday to see them in person. My current order is for the blue and set to be delivered next weekend. So I have to make this decision soon. I seriously can't make up my mind until I see them...

It probably still has the potential to add the cover to the hatch door. If this isn't provided by Tesla, I'm sure there will be some aftermarket solutions. We'll see!

Love the uberturbines! I wonder if buying tires with a larger sidewall (e.g. 275/40 R21) would fit these rims and the wheel well.

I saw a grey Model 3 with the same taillight out on my drive home.

You'll have to get the Model S or X for turning light capabilities. Though, it's important to keep in mind that the Model 3's headlights (and by extension, the Y's) have been rated one of the highest by the NHTSA because although the lights don't "turn" they have an excellent spread of light and...

I got the Performance Upgrade with full FSD myself. While I don't think Tesla will open up its full capability in the near future, I do think they will continue to release little perks surrounding owners with full FSD (i.e. Navigate on AP, smart summon, etc.) The only "option" I continue to...

If you go skiing a lot, I would imagine that the 3 independently-folding rear seats would work out very well for you if you have 4 passengers. As for handling, I can't imagine the Y being all that different in handling than the 3. Maybe a slight movement upward in its center of gravity but not...

The best thing I could suggest is tell him to watch some awesome YouTube videos out there. But first, make him watch drag strip videos with a Tesla () and then onto other videos that explain owning a Tesla. (For example, ) Imagine, just waking up every morning and having a full "tank". If 99%...

My current (non-Tesla) car has the same low-profile wheels as the performance upgrade. I've had this car for about 5 years now and I commute with it daily around the Bay Area. I live in San Francisco (which has some of the worst potholes I've ever encountered in North America) and haven't had...

I don't have my Tesla yet. But in talking to a few folks who have white seats fall into two camps: they either love them or they regret having them. (Strangely, no one in the middle.) When talking to people in person, I would say that 70% are in the "regret" camp. However, in the forums (this...

I just ordered mine on Feb 2nd (MYP+; black interior) and my delivery is scheduled for March. If you ordered the same trim level as me, I would say that you could potentially see a delivery of April. But most likely by the end of Summer.

I love that reddish brown interior that Lexus has. I also love my black and red interior in my current Lexus NX. I would totally get a brown leather interior in either of the car colors I'm considering (either blue or white).

Looks like I DON'T have a "few months". I'm one of the ones they reached out to for a March delivery. And most likely because my order was for a MYP+ with black interior. I still refuse to buy a car I haven't seen in person so seeing it will have to happen before my (tentative) delivery date. (I...

I got the email and I ordered the black interior.

Got mine tonight too! And I ordered at the beginning of Feb. I’m not sure I want to take one of the “first” deliveries. I ordered the performance+. Decisions, decisions.

I ordered the MY P+. I actually really like the Uberturbine wheels and want the lowered suspension. However, my ideal setup would be the LR AWD with 20" Induction wheels with the $2k performance upgrade (if they make it available). Since I ordered pretty late (Jan 15, 2020), I assume I'll have...

I live in San Francisco so I don't need cold-weather wheels/tires. But living in the city means that I do have to look out for potholes more than anything else. If anything, I might just buy a separate set of Gemini wheels for the long roadtrips.

Yeah I get that part of it. I suppose I'm just not understanding why this seems like such a huge dealbreaker for a lot of people.

Yeah, those are my second-favorite option. I'm starting to see that I'm in the minority that I actually like the uberturbines over the induction wheels.

I ordered the longest range, tri-motor variant. However, a lot of things need to happen before I take delivery: buy a new house with a larger garage........oh, and come up with $77k somehow. HA!

Now that we know what the tire sizes are for the MYP+ [255/35R21 (89mm sidewall), 275/35R21 (96mm sidewall)], with the lowered suspension, do you think I could potentially replace those tires with a higher sidewall (e.g. 255/40 or 255/45)? I know that that might adversely impact range (not my...

Since the Y is a hatchback, I can't foresee this being a problem on the Y since the slope of the glass higher up int he vehicle isn't as steep. Here's hoping.

Wow! I actually like the way it look on the Y more than on the 3. It looks very good on the white paint. (I personally am torn between the white and blue.)

But couldn't you just turn climate control on prior to entering your vehicle? If you charge at home, you could even get your car pre-heated whilst getting ready in the morning (or whatever).
