    Gemini black wheel covers?

    Get the rimetrix covers, they look great and affordable too. I love mine.

    Tint

    Fronts only - think it was about $150. No need to do any other windows imo

    Tint

    Easiest path is tinting the front two windows 30% to match the rears. get a roof sunshade if you want to keep the interior cooler.

    Do delivery dates change?

    Likelier chance your car date gets pushed back rather than pushed up. If you have another car to use even if you sold yours is best case scenario. With used car prices the way they are right now I'd sell your car ASAP.

    Anyone else coming from a sports car?

    I came from a 2016 Audi S6, so more on the fast boat side of things. Love the additional room of the MY without it seeming any bigger. For whatever reason butt dyno feels almost the same. I do miss the sound of the V8 though. Overall, very happy with the switch!

    Any Uber/Lyft Drivers in the House?!

    Not a driver but once rode in a Model X - thought that was pretty cool. Probably not too many Tesla's on the platform but don't think it'd be any different than another "lux" car.

    Seeking Opinions on MY vs alternate

    I would add that in colder climates the frustrating thing in the winter is that your door can/will get stuck because of ice/snow/cold so you need to plan ~30 mins prior to leaving to warm up the car. Annoying yes, but not a dealbreaker. Echo what others have said, not the quietest of rides but...

    The glass roof is like having a giant heater which is always on

    I got an aftermarket roof sunshade and it's helped considerably for both during driving and also while parked (I use a sunshade as well). Also gets to near 100 here in VA so suggest you go this route, it will help.

    Roadside Assistance Nightmare

    Ditto - I was able to get to a Mr. Tire when I got my flat, but they flat out said they aren't allowed to work on Tesla's. I'm only 15 minutes from a SC but mobile service was very easy to schedule and did a great job. Sucks OP's in the situation but I wouldn't classify it as a nightmare by any...

    Roadside Assistance Nightmare

    I recently got a flat as well - Mobile service was able to come out the next day and replace the tire. I would ask if that is an option over towing your car into the service center.

    Supercharger - Falls Church, VA

    Charged here this past Friday evening - while the stalls themselves are lit, they are dim and it's very dark otherwise. Not a big deal but could use some type of light.

    Delivery Issues - experience with follow up service

    Thanks for the feedback - this is exactly what I'm hoping to avoid. Did you get your car back and can you comment on what you brought it in for an how the quality turned out? Thanks!

    How to access Spotify?

    You can either streaming it on your phone through bluetooth, or there is a native spotify app in the music menu. It could be better.

    Delivery Issues - experience with follow up service

    I picked up my Y in late July. For the most part, quality was good, but noted a few things that were saved and recorded by the delivery advisor as well (minor panel gaps, rear tail lights sticking out a bit, frunk slightly higher on one side then the other, etc). I have an upcoming appointment...

    Vehicle Registration plus title

    Helpful comments thus far - looks like a few more weeks for the title is normal. Coincidentally I got a permanent tag right day of delivery (I did not transfer tags from my last car). Not sure how that works over temp tags here in VA, but I didn't ask any questions. I'll give everything a few...

    Vehicle Registration plus title

    I'm fortunate enough to have paid for my vehicle up front. Has anyone else who has done so received the title yet? Also, I thought that by now (picked up the car 7/25) the vehicle would have shown up in the DMV database within my account, which it does not. Just looking for feedback as getting...

    Trade-in needs an oil change and a state inspection...

    Why not just spend the $200ish to get the oil change and state inspection? It's better to have everything good to go for a trade in otherwise wherever you trade will most likely use it against you in terms of value.

    Tesla App and AT&T 5GE

    Same exact issues for me. App works fine on Wi-Fi but then will not update over 5ge. I downloaded a vpn and it works perfectly when connected to that, over 5ge. Very frustrating and apparently a common issue over on the model 3 forums.

    Do you regret paying for Full Self Driving?

    FSD in it's theory is going to be amazing. In the real world, it's just not ready yet. the basic autopilot is great and functional, but $8K now for essentially a few other uses isn't worth it. Has it been said the price is only going up? Sure, but who knows if that holds true. IMO it's got a...

    Insurance Costs & Problems

    Very interesting to hear all the experiences here. I kept Geico as adding the Model Y and replacing my previous Audi actually caused by insurance to go down by about $100/over 6 months. Same level of coverage etc. I have heard that progressive is much lower, but because of a few claims over the...

    Soon to be MY owner essential accessories?

    I bought the matrix black vinyl pack from Abstract Ocean. Is the shell way easier to install - yes. Was the vinyl all that bad - no. The video they have on the product page is very helpful and it's all about patience. the trickiest part is just lining up the piece correctly. It will lift up and...

    My Model Y Delivery Experience

    Make a service appointment in the app and note to reference the pictures taken on delivery day. I did this and was first assigned a mobile appt, but then I received a text that asked me to drop the car off at tyco in regards to some of the panel gaps and taillight gaps. I confirmed that service...

    WTB: 20" inductions for my 19" Geminis - Model Y

    Looking for 20" inductions, either straight up or swap for my 19" Geminis. Car has 250 miles on it and excellent condition. Happy to pay for swap and money on top. Located in Northern VA.

    Swapping Wheels - Model Y

    Might be a long shot, but if anyone in the NOVA region would like to swap their induction 20 inch wheels/tires for my 19 inch geminis/tires, I am happy to pay and throw money on top. I have 250 miles on the car so nearly brand new.

    Debadge fans

    It seems the "newer" MY's dont have the holes. I've seen some posts about VINs 15XXX and higher not having them with pics to prove. If you were one of the first rounds of delivery you probably have them, later probably not. only one way to tell...

    Model Y versus Prius size

    My parents have a Prius. While they might look similar, the space is night and day. Headspace, passenger space, storage space all feel much bigger. Not to mention the additional trunk space and frunk space for even more storage. My wife has a Lexus RX and that car looks bigger from the outside...

    Debadge fans

    IMO you don't need polish/pad. The car is brand new so the paint underneath should match. Goo gone / some detail spray should have it looking just fine without shadowing. At least it does on mine. Took 10 minutes total.

    Roof Tint - Cermamic

    If you want the best heat rejection, tint on all the windows with ceramic is the way to go. If you want congruency in looks only the front two windows are needed. I opted for the latter - 20% front two windows and everything looks consistent. I live in northern VA, very hot summers. I notice...

    Model Y tint pictures

    20% 3M ceramic on the fronts. I debated doing the rears, back window and roof but elected not to. Color match is pretty spot on and looks more like 35% in the sun as compared to black interior cars I’ve previously had. especially with the white interior. Overall very pleased. $180 (it was the...

    First Service Visit after delivery

    Debadged the “dual motor” and covered the logo in vinyl. I’ve done this on most of my previous cars and much prefer the cleaner look. Anyone else done the same?

    Northern Virginia Model Y started

    Used tintfx in Vienna. Two front windows done with 3m ceramic, 20% was suggested to match the rears. I have the white interior so it looks a bit lighter from the outside. Overall great match and I’m happy with it

    My Model Y Delivery Experience

    Congrats! Looks like we have the same taillight mis-alignment issues. I also have a service appt scheduled for that plus a few other things later in August, but nothing that makes me lose sleep over it. So far an excellent car and agree the folks at Tyco are great!

    Best screen protector kit?

    Since I put mine on pretty much right after delivery I don’t have the comparison of the stock screen but I can say I’m not pushing harder and everything is fluid. Didn’t have to reboot.

    Delayed - Stuck in Chicago

    Seems like delays are pretty common across the board. They also need time to inspect and allow service to look over all vehicles before you pickup. Hope the new date holds!

    All weather floor mats

    Another +1 for the Tesmanian mats. They fit great, wouldn't think twice if they came with the car as I believe they could be OEM. Have the frunk/trunk well/trunk mats as well. Just ordered the organizer. Quality stuff.

    Fixing a paint chip costs $1,700??!!!

    Pictures before home delivery.

    It's going to be hard to discern everything from a few photos, but I'd ask about any obvious panel gaps (looks pretty good from pics provided), tail light and charge port alignment as those seem to be common issues. Most everything else isnt a deal breaker IMO and you can notate others issues...

    Model Y price drop - status of refund request

    Congrats - you were luckily in the refund window. Lots of folks who just happen to be "out" the extra $2-3K just based on timing, which sucks.
