Just ignore the nagging request for payment. I wrote a check when I picked up the car. No problem.

Phil4791eng, please explain #2. Where does 451 miles come from and why did you take 70% of it?

Thanks for responding, captanzuelo. Unfortunately my theory does not hold true with your numbers. Based on my theory your 100% charge would equate to a displayed miles of: 75000 W / 275 Wh/mile = 273 miles At full charge. I think this proves me wrong. thanks everyone for your input.

Captanzuelo, your math is not quite the same as mine. Do you know your lifetime average Wh/mile? Most people track it with Trip B on their odometer. I’d be interested in seeing if my math pans out on your car.

Thanks for feedback, guys. I’m not an expert so I’m not arguing I’m right. The numbers certainly support my theory though (perhaps a coincidence). I agree with Mr. X, “ Percentage and forget it.” It’s just the geek in me trying to understand what’s going on. I’m going to keep an eye on it as...

I've read quite a few threads on this message board related to the Battery Management System (BMS) and range degradation. A lot of people seem to think their battery has deteriorated quickly or they think the BMS is affected by their charging habits. I think I've come to an understanding of...

The first several miles every time I drive the car have extremely high energy consumption. Even if I turn on the A/C using the app to pre-cool the car in advance. I suspect this is some type of battery conditioning at the start of every drive. After those first 3-5 miles energy consumption...

Yes. It comes with black carpet mats.

Mine drives perfectly centered in the lane, rock solid, and does not drift. That is what you should expect.

I’m a new MY owner. Love it, so I’m not complaining. I agree with cucubits on several things. It seems odd that Tesla does not have rear cross-traffic alert. Their blind spot monitoring needs an audible component. And as we all know, their fit and finish quality is lacking.

I’m guessing the Continentals that come on the MY are pretty close to the best regarding noise and efficiency. Tesla has things figured out pretty well.

Geodeemoore, as you already know, something is wrong with your car. Don’t let the SC get away with poo pooing it off. Mine is quiet with no wind noise, no rattles, or other odd noises. Drives solid and sure.

My MY is pretty quiet. No noticeable wind noise at all. I let a friend drive it (model 3 owner). He said it is noticeably quieter than his model 3.

I took delivery June 10 in Indianapolis. They took a personal check for the full amount.

I use Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. Inexpensive and easy to apply. I also use Turtle Wax Ceramic 3-in1 Detailer as a waterless wash. Both are available on Amazon and perform well.

I was the same way. I didn’t like the Gemini wheels much in the website photos. I had planned to remove the covers. The minute I saw them in person my opinion changed. The actually look really good on the car. If they improve range, all the better.

I have a feeling the Gemini wheels make a bigger difference than we might give them credit for. Seems like the people reporting decent range have the Gemini wheels.

I drive 22 miles each way to work. Mostly highway. I set autopilot on 63 MPH and usually use 240-260 wh/mile. This equates to right at the rated range. Outdoor temps have been in the 70’s and 80’s. Probably won’t be quite this good when it gets hotter or colder. But under the conditions I...

Walk in not expecting perfection and walk out loving your car. I took delivery of a white MY on June 10. VIN 99xx. My white paint is perfect. Panel alignments are not perfect, but not bad. Tail lights and charge port door do not line up quite right. BUT...I absolutely LOVE the car! Interior...

I also have the thicker lip on my MY. Phone has never slipped. VIN 99xx.

Drove a Toyota Highlander prior to taking delivery of my MY last week. Since I loved my Highlander, I was unsure if I would be happy with my purchase of a car I had never even seen or sat in. A few minor issues: passenger door does not close flush, right tail light out of alignment, charge...

One last thing...even with the fit and finish issues the car looks even better in person than it does in the pictures online. Beautiful car!

I’ learned over the past few days that LevelHeaded is right. I took delivery of my MY on Wednesday in Indianapolis. Same communication issues. Same fit and finish issues. I was upset for a minute. I drove a Toyota Highlander prior to this and loved it. No fit and finish issues at all. I...

My taillights are also misaligned on my MY. As far as I know, these are not adjustable. Hopefully someone will have insight on this issue. Also, my charging port door does not close flush. It sticks out about 1/8 inch from where it should be to be flush.

Congratulations Jdelabar! I took delivery of my MY on Wednesday. Absolutely LOVE it!!! Glad you had a good experience.

I took delivery of my MY yesterday. Factory door seals work great. I have a few fit and finish issues, but door seals are fine.

In DaveORD’s way of counting, I’ve got 1 day and 2 sleeps left before my MY delivery. I’m going to try my best to be calm and do a thorough inspection before I accept it. As we all know, excitement can get the best of us. Taking delivery at Indianapolis. I’ve been told people have had good...

Thanks jeffpaz. First actual feedback like this I’ve been able to find. Glad to hear it works well in 20 degree temps!

I think I can help with some of these questions about the basic timeline. I ordered my MY on 4/14/20. On 5/23/20 I noticed the documents section of my Tesla account showed a mvpa. The mvpa showed I have been assigned VIN 99xx. At that point I had not received any contact from Tesla. The...

Got a delivery date today. No calls or direct contact. It just showed up in my Tesla account. Ordered 4/14/20 VIN 99xx Delivery date 6/23/20 White MY AWD, black interior, 19” Gemini wheels. Hoping the rumor about improved quality control process is true...

Glad to hear they have added a QC process. Hopefully that is true. I have not received a text or an email, but this morning the mvpa showed up in my Tesla account. It shows my VIN is 99xx. Very close to 10k. White MY w/ black interior. Gemini wheels. I notice the VIN’s people are waiting for...
