    Pics of white Y with and without Gemini covers

    Looking at these makes me believe these should have been blacked out as OEM.

    Black Model Y

    Not to hijack the conversation, but seems like the right time to jump in on whether or not the general consensus is that Tesla is doing better in the paint process, over all? I am currently pre-ordered with white, but have heard issues of color-shade mismatches and therefore, leaning towards...

    About time. I still haven't seen one in the wild. However, I did test drive one last weekend and it was very nice.

    Thanks, folks. If I do not reply, I assume they cannot hold me to it, right? I'm pushing off delivery for QC reasons and because, well...just not driving much with Covid.

    Text: "Your Model Y is on its way..."

    While i have a Tesla Y on reservation, I have not entered the financials to move it along to the next stage. Strangely, I received the following text. From the look of it, I'd say it's more marketing to get me to move...but any one know for sure?

    Pics of white Y with and without Gemini covers

    I'll just follow-up what everyone else has said...looks awesome and I'll be doing the same thing once I order my white MY.

    Tow Hitch now available on configurator

    Would you confirm if that hitch is the OEM or the aftermarket version?

    I feel that these big body/frame castings are an extremely bad idea.

    I hear what you say and feel there is merit to it. However, there may be a flip side that hasn't been considered and that is safety. If these large casts are also more likely to protect the occupant from significant physical harm, it's entirely possible there is a meaningful offset of costs...

    Cover for Heatpump to reduce Noise

    My hope is that the heat-pump cover gets introduced as part of the factory upgrade process.

    LR AWD delivered w/ suboptimal quality: return or keep?

    True, but we are also the people that buy on the bleeding edge. There has to be some inherent appetite on our part for risk or we wouldn't be considering a Tesla (let alone a Y!).

    LR AWD delivered w/ suboptimal quality: return or keep?

    Man, normally I'd say power through...but not with this level of issue. They need to learn a lesson. Also, if you are able to wait long enough, you can get the MY with the heat-pump covering (for quieter running).

    Looks like part of the Tesla factory upgrade will include improvements to their paint capabilities. Let's be hopeful. Tesla permits reveal plans for Model Y production line upgrades in Fremont factory

    $50,000+ car while economy in freefall

    All interesting perspectives. For what it’s worth, I work for an industry leading tech company and can tell you we are modeling between 10-20% cuts to budget (as a start). This will translate to plenty of people losing their jobs. I decided to push back on my Y until summer, but that’s the...

    Has anyone taken delivery with 19" Gemini wheels?

    Beautiful and the wheel covers do look good.

    Has anyone taken delivery with 19" Gemini wheels?

    I agree. Normally I'm not a fan of the gemini's, but they definitely look fine on the white (which I'm ordering). I also like the underlying look without the cover, so have decided to skip the too-black induction wheels and either stick with the 19"s or upgrade later to a different set of 20"s.

    Road noise!

    And as a nod to free will, nothing says freedom like making a choice. But consider this...the more we live on the bleeding edge and invest in companies like Tesla, the faster other manufacturers will commit to change. Their added innovation will drive down cost, increase selection and make a...

    Tesla Y Pictures - Interior and Exterior

    I'm curious as to whether anyone shares my concern re: induction wheels? I think they're beautiful and they are currently part of my config, but so dark you can barely see them. I'm considering going with the gemini (minus caps) and getting a set of after-market 20". What does the hive-mind think?

    Anyone taking delivery of Model Y this week?

    I'd like to know if there is an outer hatch button for opening the cargo area. Edit: also, confirmation of the 12V plug in the cargo area.

    Financing Rates on Y?

    Sharing info I came across on /Reddit. A user there indicated a 60 month 1.99% rate with Everence CU. On going to their site, they indeed advertise a 2.49% rate with a .5% discount for green vehicles. I will definitely be checking them out when my time comes.

    Model Y Interior Specs

    In the pictures that have been circulating of the MY's interior, it appears that the upper portion of the black interior is a lighter gray. Specifically from the pillars to the roof lines. Can anyone confirm if this is the case?

    $100 Order Fee Charged by Tesla Now on Top of Purchase Price

    From what I understand, it goes towards the cost of the car. This is from the Payment Method view of my MY and at the bottom, you can see the $100 coming off the final price.

    Financing Rates on Y?

    And if you look at the online reviews of DCU, they seem unreliable. For the difference, I'd rather stick with BoA.

    Account page changed from 'Prepare for Delivery' to asking for details

    I'm in the same boat re: Account Page! Under the self acquired loan, there is wording which states, "1. Obtain financing approval As your delivery date approaches, we will prompt you to apply for financing. Approvals are typically valid for 30-60 days depending on your lienholder’s policy"...

    Tesla Insurance

    The rates I've heard so far are from USAA. One of my team members bought a new Tesla 3 standard+ and he is paying like $720/year. Obviously, not everyone can be part of USAA, but worth checking into if you can.

    Model Y Insurance Cost

    I haven't been quoted for the MY yet, but for the M3 LR AWD I was considering first, my Erie agent quoted me $1600/year in Raleigh...or $1020 more than what I was paying for my 2016 Chevy Volt.

    As if we don't feel good enough about the Y, this video was just posted

    Nice. Thanks for posting. I've been catching up with all the MY posts after placing my order last week for a white, LR AWD w/20"ers. Trying to tamp down the excitement, knowing it may be late-summer or Fall until I see it.
