    2021.4.15.12 now...?

    I don't know what it does but this is what it says while installing.

    Got a call for delivery

    Congrats! That's a got to feel good, for sure. Enjoy the experience of getting that new car.

    Too late for referral code?

    That bites. Sorry to hear that. It still remains to be seen if mine actually worked. He said it's on there though so we'll see.

    Too late for referral code?

    That would also be helpful and probably more useful to me in the long run.

    Too late for referral code?

    I know, right? 1,000 mile's is less than $100, isn't it? Why so stingy, Tesla? Of course, being put into the monthly drawing for a Model Y would be cool as well.

    Too late for referral code?

    And my delivery advisor said last week, " I can add a referral code to your order. No problem.". I said that I had heard there were problems adding them and he said "I've always been able to add them with no problem. Maybe those advisors didn't know how. Okay, the code has been added to your...

    Delivery Today with 8 Paint Issues

    You've stumbled upon the secret plan. "We can't paint very well. Let's make stainless steel popular so we can forego this painting crap... Let people wrap their vehicles instead."

    Too late for referral code?

    Sorry. I thought this was the Tesla Referral Program thread. I see that it is not. My apologies.

    Too late for referral code?

    I got a referral code added to my order yesterday. I have a scheduled delivery date of the 27th of June though he did tell me that it was looking like it would be early so they'd call me when it got closer to ask if I want it earlier. The guy who added the referral code is from the Kansas City...

    Delivery Today with 8 Paint Issues

    The bolts that are missing paint look like the service center tried to realign the door. There's no reason for the paint to be torn from the bolt heads otherwise. That's pretty bad though. Now, I'm suddenly nervous about my delivery on the 27th (unless they get it early enough to pick it up...

    FSD = Beta squared!!

    You CAN use it where there are street lights. You just have to indicate that it is clear and the car will proceed through the light. Eventually, it will differentiate between red and green lights and will proceed through green lights. This is the first part of that. Again, all you have to do...

    Anyone Recently order a White on White with PUP and get a VIN already?

    Tesla doesn't advertise so I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to spread out the deliveries so their audience is expanded.
  14. TyPope

    text, reply "JUNE" or "DELAY"

    Hey, what does PUP mean? Is it Performance Upgrade Performance"?

    Tesla Referral Code Please [the one and only UK thread]

    The guy at my pickup location was able to add a referral code to my order and I'm picking my MY up on the 27th though he said it may be there in time for a pickup on the 20th. It doesn't show in my account anywhere but it should show up in the person's account whose code I used.

    Too late for referral code?

    Try again. Some are having luck now.

    Any success with applying referral code?

    There's also that pretty good odds at winning a Model Y or Roadster... Well, not GREAT odds, but better than lottery odds.

    Two Model 3 changes - Beginning of June

    You've never broken a charge port, I'm guessing. Watch a kid render a piece of electronics (adult kids, too) useless by killing the USB port and you'll wish it was simply wireless charging. I like being able to just plop down my phone and have it start charging. It's not like you use a phone...

    Glossary of Terms? Definitions?

    I meant as the term applies to vehicle descriptions... MSM/Black/Black PUP ... Gets confusing.

    MSM and PUP should be on that list, too.

    Model Y Delivered Thursday June 4th

    I can't remember who I talked to at KC but he said yesterday that it would probably be two to three weeks.

    Model Y Delivered Thursday June 4th

    I've got my VIN and eventually called my pickup location. They said "It's built and waiting to get loaded on rail to Chicago. Then, transported to Kansas City (where I'll be picking it up)." Any idea how long this shipping will take? Any texts or emails they'll send out? It's a shame we...

    Has Anyone Who Ordered the Tow Hitch Received a Vin?

    Click on "Manage" next to your car. On THAT page, right click, "view source code" and then press cntrl & "F" together to bring up the "Find" box. Type in "5YJY" which is the first four positions of the VIN. If it finds your VIN, you'll know it. We got official notification very soon after...

    Coolest Features of the Model Y - Thoughts

    I'm glad you liked it. I put it together for my slightly apprehensive wife to help get her excited a bit for her new car. She was kind of on the fence. Her squeal when we got our VIN was proof I succeeded. I decided to share the list so others could check out the things I found different...

    Has Anyone Who Ordered the Tow Hitch Received a Vin?

    I have a VIN! ...AND we ordered with the Trailer Hitch on 4/20/2020. I thought there'd be a longer wait. Must have gotten lucky with the production set.

    Got a call for delivery

    Hey, I have the same model ordered though with the trailer tow package added. Since I ordered April 19th, I probably have quite the wait ahead of me so I'm watching you guys to see when yours get delivered or at least when I can see some kind of "Get ready for delivery" email...

    Heated Steering wheel

    ItoIt ismis funny that theathe owners manual talks about heated steering: Bottom right of page 152 of the Model Y Owner's Manual: "Turn Climate On:. This allows you to precondition the cabin by moving the direction of air flow from the vents, and turning on or off the steering wheel and seat...

    Coolest Features of the Model Y - Thoughts

    I would think it odd to talk about a heated steering wheel in the owner's manual if the car never had one unless it was about to get that... Unless, they copied the manual from the M3 and someone missed the heated steering wheel line.

    Coolest Features of the Model Y - Thoughts

    That may be true but page 152 of the Owner's Manual says -- "Turn Climate On: This allows you to precondition the cabin by moving the direction of air flow from the vents, and turning on or off the steering wheel and seat heaters." To be fair, I've found a couple of inconsistencies along the...

    Regenerative braking vs brake pedal

    I rode all the way down Pike's Peak without using my brakes. I maintained a slow speed and never once had to put a foot on the brakes till the very end to stop for the guy with the thermometer to check my brakes to see if I could keep going. There were several sedans that he made pull over...

    Coronavirus

    I completely agree that if we continue to be cautious, we can avoid a huge spike. In 1918, they thought it was over, basically, and went on to business as usual which caused the spike. It seemed like TalkingMule was advocating for basically no precautions. Georgia was the first state to...

    Coronavirus

    No. Our response slowed the spread of the virus and our medical facilities have been able to keep up. What will happen next is people like you will run out as soon as there is a slight dip in new numbers and we'll start up a VERY steep ramp of infections. It's possible the next wave will be...

    Coronavirus

    My Doctor told me if I didn't take the antidote that the poison would spread through my body and kill me. I took the antidote. It's been two weeks and I didn't die. My doctor must have overreacted. He's dumb.

    Coolest Features of the Model Y - Thoughts

(right forum for this) Anyway, I was trying to keep my wife interested while we await delivery... So, I looked through the...

    New screen UI in Cybertruck

    Wow! Thanks! I was really wondering about that. I'm surprised they had spare window glass for a prototype. After all, they've now changed the size of the windows so any glass they had on hand will be of no use now. An hour to replace the glass is really quite quick. Nifty. Again, thank...

    New screen UI in Cybertruck

    Question for you. I watched the unveiling from Nebraska. I couldn't justify the trip out to California for that. Anyway, one question comes to mind that you may be able to answer. They broke the windows (on purpose in a masterful way to ensure it was talked about for weeks maybe????) during...

    Decoding the Reservation Number

    I don't think you can determine the number of Cybertrucks ordered from your RN... I ordered a Cybertruck and then a Model Y and the numbers are REALLY close together indicating there is a single repository of RNs for all Tesla models together. Thus, all we can really determine is the total...

    Ordering Process
