    Model Y price drop - status of refund request

    There is a big difference as to whether Tesla can do something, should do something, and even the manner in which it does do something. Between rushing a vehicle with 450 miles on it for delivery to avoid the price drop, later offering an unlock on an obviously throttled back (secretly)...

    Model Y price drop - status of refund request

    You don't know how lucky you are. Our M-Y, after two delivery delays, was supposed to be delivered after the "price drop." (We paid $55K). They suddenly had our vehicle ready to be picked up on the Saturday before the Monday when the "price drop" came into effect. Unbeknownst to us, the...

    TESLA does not respect its customers.

    Last car was a Merc destroyed in a crash. Although costly to maintain, I paid for the whole car, up front, and they didn't try to sell it to me bit by bit after I brought it. Usually, when someone calls another person a "boomer," they are either not old enough to shave are not mature enough to...

    Snippiness 2.0

    "Boomer"- Probably means you're not old enough to shave or be treated as an adult.

    TESLA does not respect its customers.

    Very serious. They apparently drove it up instead of trucked it up from New Jersey just to avoid giving us that benefit. I'm fully aware of what a contract is. Lastly with regard to the mileage, my wife's car was destroyed in an accident we will already beyond the rental date from insurance and...

    TESLA does not respect its customers.

    If you are not able to understand my issue, the problem is with you. Tesla is essentially selling me an unlock for a capability that my car, as purchased already possessed. And no I won't be buying it.

    TESLA does not respect its customers.

    Let's see, in July my wife and I ordered a Tesla Y with blue paint and the total cost was $55,000. The dealership was in Dedham Massachusetts. They promised us delivery in a week telling us was in New Jersey and instead it was late. The weekend after July 4th they told us it's going to be late...

    Gen 3 Wall Connector 3 red blinks fault code

    I had the same experience. After two months my well connector started blinking red three times. It had the latest software. Fortunately, someone on this site posted the phone number at Tesla to call because normally you can't communicate with anybody at Tesla except by computer which I resent...

    Very happy with range on road trip in my LR

    Today, temp.s were in the 70s. Range much better at approx. 260 whvhr.

    Very happy with range on road trip in my LR

    Recharge it nightly when I Gen 2 charger. Charging to about 85% regularly. However we bought the car in July and it has been incredibly hot nearly every day, well over 90 degrees. Running the AC is necessary.

    Very happy with range on road trip in my LR

    I'm jealous. I wonder if very high heat affects range. Wr brought it this July and it has been over 90 degrees nearly every day. Of course the necessary A/C drains that much power.

    Very happy with range on road trip in my LR

    Tesla can test drive their own vehicles on normal road conditions, properly evaluate it's range and electricity usage, and thereafter, advertise the results. Simple. As I previously stated, the model Y long-range provides adequate range but nothing near the 316 miles range as advertised. (Using...

    Very happy with range on road trip in my LR

    I didn't blame Tesla for it except that it is listed in all their ads. Here in Massachusetts, noone ever drives 65 on highways without infuriating other drivers. Teslas, even the basic long range are too much fun to drive.

    Very happy with range on road trip in my LR

    I have a long range as well and I never get that type of range out of it no matter how carefully I drive. With three people in the car and some luggage well highway driving, I am lucky if I am getting 220 actual miles on a 90% charge. While, sometimes it'll run at 280/w mile, it is usually...

    Anyone regret not opting for performance?

    Don't regret it. The LR accoring to Tesla goes 0-60 in 4.8 sec.s (Car & Driver claimed 4.4 sec.s) which will outperform nearly all gas cars other than "supercars." Spending another $10K to go a second faster makes little sense and I already have a "leadfoot." Living in New England" requires...

    TACC/AutoSteer Makes Me Nervous at Intersections

    I use the autopilot mostly on highway or longer roadways as it makes no sense to use it where it is congested, etc. I don't know whether Tesla has the autopilot follow the GPS navigation or at least give the route priority. If not, they should have amend the software to do so. On most highways...

    TACC/AutoSteer Makes Me Nervous at Intersections

    I have a new Y too. It does tterexact same thing. The autopilot after a month has just worked flawlessly earning my trust. It follows highways and negotiates sharp turns well. It did surprisingly well in stop-and-go traffic.. Once on a single lane long country oadr, it did slow down sharply...

    My new Model Y's range SUCKS

    Like most people, we don't take road trips every day. Our MY on most days, is driven less than 150 miles a day and we charge the MY at home at a great savings over gas vehicles. We only use the superchargers on "road trips" and must plan carefully as currently, there aren't enough of them.

    My new Model Y's range SUCKS

    I purchased my MY 3 weeks ago in Massachusetts. On an 85% charge, the car indicates apprx. 278 miles. It's been very hot so the a/c runs constantly. We are getting appx. 190 to 210 miles out of such a charge. This is approx 70% of the vehicle stated mileage. I do not understand why your...
