    Midnight Silver - Show Your Stuff

    I had a blue M3 before purchasing the Y... I really like both but definitely have to say the blue with the chrome delete of the Y catches my eye anytime I see it on the road and makes me think about whether or not I made the right decision to go MSM on my Y.

    Automatic Carwash - Neutral vs. Roll

    I have had this problem. Even using a reliable car wash that we have previously used on our Model X, and previously a Model 3 and S. It’s pretty disappointing to not be able to get it looking just right yet. Hoping to get it restored to it’s original look ASAP.

    19” Gemini’s Crackling Noise

    I would highly recommend making an appointment at your SC. While it doesn’t appear to do much long-term damage to the car, the sound on mind just kept getting louder and more annoying.

    19” Gemini’s Crackling Noise

    Finally after nearly 5K miles I have an answer and a fix from the SC (note that the delay was really my fault, not Tesla’s as I haven’t been able to leave my car with them for multiple days until now)! From the inspection report: During inspection for noise found right front brake shield...

    Gemini Wheel Cover plastic noise

    The noise from my wheels seems to keep getting louder. I took it in once to the SC but I wasn’t able to leave my vehicle with them for 5-7 days at that time as per their request. I have another appointment scheduled for the first week of September and am really hoping that everything can be...

    19” Gemini’s Crackling Noise

    I stopped by the Scottsdale, AZ service center this morning as part of an appointment for my Model Y. The tech mentioned the noise is very common and is from the plastic used on the rims. They will end up putting a type of insulation inside the rim to remove the noise. I had to end up postponing...

    Chrome Delete Damaged

    I took my Model Y to the car wash for the first time and came home to see the chrome delete around the windows had a damaged look of residue on them. We have been using this local, touch less car wash for the past few years for our MX and M3 (before trading it in for the MY). We’ve never had...

    19” Gemini Wheels - Powder Coating?

    Are you planning on putting the covers back on at any point (road trips, etc.)? If so, I’d love to hear how it effects the color on the rim.

    19” Gemini’s Crackling Noise

    I thought I had read about this somewhere else on this forum, but my searches are all coming up empty. When “creeping” in my MY there is a crackling noise coming from my tires. I can only hear it if my window is down and I’m barely moving (in a drive thru line etc.). Has anyone else...

    Arizona Deliveries??

    For those who are still waiting, I passed (7) full semi’s headed to AZ from SoCal today on my trip. There were 4 that were all Model Y’s, while the other 3 were a mix of MS and MX.

    Arizona Deliveries??

    We picked up our MSM Model Y today in Scottsdale (VIN 13XXX). So far so good! The delivery process was incredibly smooth, it was a way easier than what we’ve experienced in the past while picking up previous models. We had ample time to inspect the vehicle. We had some finger prints on the...

    Arizona Deliveries??

    I am scheduled for delivery on Friday afternoon. VIN 13XXX... keeping my fingers crossed that there won’t be issues as I will likely be driving it to California either Friday evening or Saturday AM.

    Arizona Deliveries??

    I received a text today that my MY would be ready between 6/28 and 6/30. Still waiting on my VIN. (MSM, 19” tires, no FSD, no hitch) On a side note my wife and I took a drive to the Scottsdale location today to check a few out in person (she hadn’t yet seen one in person). They had two MSM MY’s...

    19” Gemini Wheels - Powder Coating?

    I was probably too specific when I referenced powder coating, I was looking for any sort of color change etc, but was just unsure of the other processes. Interesting to hear about plastic dip, I’ll have to look into it more. Thanks!

    19” Gemini Wheels - Powder Coating?

    Hi all... I apologize if this has been discussed elsewhere (if it has, I can’t find it!), but has anyone seen any of the 19” Gemini’s that have been powder coated? I love the look of the darker 20” rims but will be traveling from AZ to CA quite often in my Model Y and would like to keep the...

    Arizona Deliveries??

    Waiting on a MSM, black interior, 19” wheels, no FSD... ordered on 4/21. I sold my M3 about 3.5 weeks ago... I’m more impatient by the day, lol.

    Financing Rates on Y?

    I just quickly wanted to say thank you to everyone on this thread. I had recently received approval for 72 months at 3.25% through Wells Fargo for my Model Y. After reading this thread I sent an e-mail and with in 6 minutes had a reply and a new rate of 2.39% through Chase for 72 months, and it...
