I've been a BMW lover since I was a teen (and I'm not young) and Tesla has won me over. I still have a BMW 228I but selling it to my brother, no longer want to drive it.

Yeah wife insisted on the FSD and it's not there yet. I see it as we are paying Tesla to improve it and then give it to us. After having the Y for a few days, I couldn't go back to any of the ICE products, even the Macan is going to have too many things not up to par with what the Y...

I doubt that anyone can come up with a test good enough to measure this effectively given the variables unless the manufacturer tested it published their results. My WAG is that you will lose a couple miles of range if you reduce the regen to the low setting. The standard regen is strong in...

That's the way I feel, I miss a few of the luxury features of BMW but the instant power, 1 pedal driving, no exhaust, and tech make it the best vehicle imo...My expectations have been exceeded actually.

I agree, I find the Model Y significantly quieter than the Model 3. I love my Y too.

We were informed that we can pick up our Model Y on Wednesday in Seattle...yay. WHite/white, FSD. LR...ordered Jan 2020

As a substantial owner of TSLA stock, I say deliver the most expensive and profitable first. As one who ordered a LR Y, I say deliver mine first.

I wanted it but wife didn't....so.....we get the LR:) THe reduced range was a factor. We are getting the tri motor Cybertruck for speed.

I'm scheduled to get mine before the end of this month and will report back with a comment. I had a 7 series BMW and I know the Tesla won't be able to match that comfort but I hope it's close enough so wife and I aren't bothered too much by it.

Yep, in the real world having instantaneous power and 4wd traction will make it faster than almost any ICE car in real world driving situation unless on the autobahn. I had a Hellcat and it was so frustrating to not be able to put the power down until over 60 mph. I'm scheduled to get me MY LR...

We got the exact same text today. My question is okay if it's built in 7 days, when will we get it?

White/white, LR, FSD, 19" Gemini wheels, ordered in Jan 2020, no text

Interesting. We are awaiting delivery of our Y and are accustomed to premium cars so hoping the Y meets are standard as a Mercedes are BMW of a similar type would.

Hopefully you and I will both get our Model Y soon. Yeah it's weird seeing people order and get their Model Y in a few weeks when we've been waiting for months. Personally I'm fine with it nd don't really need it now, I just want it.

Yep, this is how they operate. Given that, can they really say if you order today you can get your Model Y in 4-8 weeks?

We ordered our LR in January and haven't heard anything but hoping we do soon. I'm doubting that 4-8 week delivery time given our situation but I hope to be wrong.

Not exactly correct especially if you also have bigger tire contact. The Pros and Cons of Plus Sizing - Performance Plus Tire

Well that's depressing to hear....hope that guy doesn't have a clue.

Yeah but they are committed to that cost regardless of how many buy the FSD correct? So unless I'm missing something, whether or not I buy FSD, they will have that cost to complete the features. So Tesla can improve their revenue/profit directly from each sell of FSD. I realize from an...

Yep, that's my thoughts. I'm sure I would love the Macan but it's still a polluting ICE vehicle that is going to put fumes in your garage and neighborhood and won't have the instant torque of the Y. I am disappointed that several that have driven both the Macan and Y say the Macan handles...

Is your interest on cost or actual driving range? The Y is rated 124 mpg I believe so far more efficient than a Prius or any ICE car. Range is 316 and that is if you drove it full to empty in close to ideal conditions, IN practice, you're not going to run it below 10%, rarely will charge to...

No, the range is much worse, tech is not as good, and much slower. The interior admittedly is better in the Jag and that just isn't a big enough priority for me to eve come close to choosing the Jag over the Y

Yes it does seem like they wanted to sell those cars with the upgraded wheels. Maybe they bought so many and wanted to get their money back asap. It would seem like they would prioritize FSD because that's a sunk cost and $7K of pure increase in profits but that doesn't seem to be the case. I...

Yep, got it.

Great news! Thanks!

When did you order yours? We are same with white on white with standard wheels and FSD and placed our order Jan 20, 2020. Hoping they are making a huge run with this combination and we'll get notice soon.

That would be nice I did a quick search on Google and didn't find out. If I find more, I'll post.

Yeah, you're comparing a premium auto maker that's been honing and improving their cars for over 100 years to a new car maker. I'm surprised the gap's not larger.

Super disappointing, I hope you are able to determine the cause and correct it. Have you been able to confirm you are charging the full 75KW?

True that you shouldn't need to use the brakes that much. Actually one reason I wish I had the Brembo's on the Y I ordered (LR) is that you will not need to replace the rotors unlike a car like my Hellcat that needed an expensive brake job every couple of years.

We ordered both. After we get the Y, we'll probably decide whether or not we will proceed with Cyber. The Cybertruck has so many advantages but the disadvantages are the larger footprint so harder to fit in garages and to park....that's about it.

I had Brembo brakes on my Hellcat and I thought the braking was pretty special. I am waiting delivery of the MY-LR so I'm guessing the braking will be significantly diminished compared to the Performance?

Nice to hear your perspective. The Y is louder and won't ride at the level of the Porsche for sure but I'm surprised to hear the handling isn't as good considering the low COG of the Y. The Y advantages are far quicker, cheaper, much more energy efficient, and better tech. We are waiting on...

we ordered Jan 20 and deliver I have no idea when.

Don't know but it seems that white interiors and gemini wheels are the least manufactured so far and I have both. We ordered in January and filled all the requested paperwork they have asked but they still haven't sent the sales agreement paperwork and I fear it's going to be a long time. What...

We ordered the LR white on white with FSD last January with the Gemini wheels so it seems we'll be at the tail end of delivering the backlog....anyone have a good educated guess on how long that might be?

Are you dissatisfied with it already? Should we switch to Performance? We ordered the LR with the FSD....I wold probably opt for the Performance but wife isn't interested and thinks the LR will be fast enough.

That makes sense. However, my last car was a Hellcat and it's too tempting to use that power if it's there.

As I understand it, the LR has the same battery pack and motor as the Performance and that software is the only difference that changes the acceleration from 4.8 to 3.5 in the 0-60 mph run? Wouldn't the reduced stress on the components for the LR compared to the Performance mean there will be...

If I was seriously worried about money or a job status, I wouldn't buy one now. Fortunately, I don't think either apply to me so I'm moving forward.

Good one...I would love to see that. The Y Performance should have an edge.

I'm going off the data obtained by Drag TImes...did you watch the video I linked? If not, watch that video.

In the link I posted a couple of posts up. Also several seat of the pants observations from people that have owned the Model 3 and now driving the Y indicates the same.

This is great information and yes, Tesla has not allowed full torque on the Y yet...they will probably update it later. The Model y batter is 7% larger and horsepower advantage over Model 3 is similar according to this testing device used. How are you finding the fun to drive factor compared...

Yeah I think it stays with the car and not to the owner. Legitimate to ask is it actually safer? I would love to see accurate stats on that. My DIL grandfather is 99 years old and still drives....I would rather FSD drive than him.

I agree that it's not worth what you have to pay for its current functionality and you can always add it later. My initial opinion was not to buy it and buy it later when they make it more worthy of its price but wife pointed out that we would probably pay more and miss out on what FSD adds for...

We are a bit younger in early 60's but see the same benefit which is potentially life saving and changing.

We found this decision very tough but finally decided to buy it because you do get nice functionality now and will get more later so why not enjoy it the entire ownership experience? Tesla has indicated that it will cost more in the future but things change due to the market and it wouldn't...

No we ordered the LR dual motor non-Performance.

Ours has been like that for 5 days and counting.
