    Is $10K too much?

    Glad it is finally over, and they priced me out. Doubt I'll ever think about spending 10k+ on anything less than level 4, unless it attaches to account. I'm sure it'll be a blast beta testing over the next few months, but hopefully the subscription comes out and it is even somewhat reasonable...

    Apparently model Y paint mismatch is normal

    Mine looked exactly the same. My SC is fixing it. They told me there are multiple versions of white and two different types of plastic. Mine was the wrong color white and the wrong color plastic. A guy came out and color matched it with this square grid to one of 4 colors (they narrow it...

    Is $10K too much?

    Personally, I was waiting to just use the car for a bit and see how much all the features meant to me. Then it felt like I was being forced into an ultimatum. Considering I'm only really interested in FSD for roadtrips since I'm home so much, I decided subscription would be the best for me...

    When will EAP w/ HW2.5 stop getting better

    Yep, I was planning on upgrading to FSD at some point at 8k before increases, as I just got the car and wanted to slowly check things out. These fomo tactics don’t work well on me, it feels similar to a dealer telling me that x car is hot and they are worried it will sell before I decide. It...

    Is $10K too much?

    Trying to factor this into my purchase decision as well. It isn't exactly just $8,000 sunk cost (keeping it simple, not counting the value of money over time). These are all the outcomes that I see for value: Tesla tags it to accounts, even if partial value (i.e. they let you apply the...

    Is $10K too much?

    When people have old hardware and they upgrade to FSD, then they get HW3. If you buy FSD now with HW3, and down the road HW4 comes out will they upgrade you to HW4?

    Would you put your car on the robotaxi network?

    I’d throw it on there after I move on to another, newer car. But as my primary car? Hell no... Just like I don’t rent my house out to people when I go on vacation. I don’t want to have to take a blacklight to my white seats everyday. I also find it hard to believe people who are buying 50k+...

    Do you regret paying for Full Self Driving?

    I have a loaner M3 while my MY gets the new car tiny adjustments. I don’t have FSD, but the M3 does. I just used it to parallel park and it was pretty awesome, faster then I would have done it without the chance of wheel rash (I assume?). Easily worth 1k just for that living in the city...

    Last of the 2020’s

    Imagine spending a few thousand more for different letter on your VIN in a few years when you are shopping used cars. Same build, odometer and features. Maybe VINs with 69xxx will be highly sought after too, like a rare Pokemon card. The ultimate unicorn with VIN 69420 worth 10k+ more.

    Delivery Popped Tonight

    I gotta update this with good news. Honestly, when this started I went from excitement to panic from reading all of the issues. Tesla has been nothing short of great from sales people, to instantly matching my financing a week later, and finally to the service center. I had to put in a little...

    3D Maxpider Model Y Floor Mats

    Do those feel good on your feet? I was worried on road trips or whatever it wouldn’t be very “cozy” and would feel like I’m in an UberX or something. I guess people might swap them for the carpeted ones in that situation, but I gotta manage baby spills.

    3D Maxpider Model Y Floor Mats

    Yea this actually sorta bothered me too. And honestly, the front mats don’t go far enough under the seats either imo. When I move my foot closer to the seat I end up hitting the lip of the back edge with my foot.

    3D Maxpider Model Y Floor Mats

    The badges on the 2020 Model Y Kagu are no longer chrome/silver, which is likely the case for all of them. It blends in much more and they are more of a metallic dark graphite look. I don't have them with me at the moment but I can take a picture later. Also, I'm sure this might have already...

    Be aware! Missing Control Arm Nut: Potential Safety Issue

    Do most people send in (or know to send in) the letter with intent to not be forced into arbitration? I guess you have 30 days do to so after you close on the car.

    Model Y, Nuna Rava

    I can check for you in < 3 hours when I get back. I have the Rava. I thought this was about the seat cover (which Nuna does not officially allow). Although I might be trying the Britax pad anyway because these seats aren't exactly super sticky anyway.

    Denied Delivery

    Were your issues fixed outside of the return policy date? I'm a little confused on the 7-day return policy, as it seems impossible to see a service center before 3 weeks out.

    Delivery Popped Tonight

    Honestly, so far this experience is going better than expected, even though you shouldn't have to deal with issues on a brand new car. I dropped off some unsigned papers at Tesla, and they received my emails. I was immediately spoken to about my situation (I never even brought it up, I didn't...

    Delivery Popped Tonight

    Ok so I'm in a waiting game with service center + delivery emails that my sales representative gave me. It is all out there, I will push harder closer to my return date if nothing happens. That said, I spoke with a paintshop that Tesla uses in our area. They basically told me every single...

    Average Estimate Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector Install

    Also I think given the documentation that would be ok, but it definitely does not include permitting from what I read.

    Average Estimate Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector Install

    I'm not a CPA and I've never done this, it just looks promising and I was planning on doing the install anyway.

    Delivery Popped Tonight

    Yea it seems like there are some people that get written documents saying they will cover full body shop paint, and then others who are told to basically f* off. So I'm a bit nervous, but whatever, I don't need a car this second so I have all the leverage.

    Average Estimate Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector Install

    I paid $1300 in Chicago to go from my unit, outside building, along fire escape, down to garage and then installed Tesla charger. Probably 50 ft of conduit and mounting to metal. I had to patch the drywall near box. And this was one of the better quotes. Also, not a lot of people seem to...

    Delivery Popped Tonight

    I’m pretty close to the sales store. I might just swing by there and get a manager to sign something saying they will pay for a body shop to repaint it, and if not return it. I’m pretty bummed I really want the car. I’m assuming writing something saying the Tesla shop will paint fix would...

    Autopilot ended. Regen produced weird sound.

    Hey guys, cameras finally calibrated on Tesla Model Y and I used AP on a 30mph road. Everything was great, but after a few stop lights it ended because we were going to slow/stopping. Anyway, something screwy happened in between AP ending, Hold pattern starting and my foot coming off regen...

    Delivery Popped Tonight

    Hey, just a quick update. I emailed pictures to the delivery email and also sent in a service request as instructed to do by my SA within 24 hours. I might have made a mistake accepting delivery so quickly; I was under the impression you had 24 hours to take pictures and then service would...

    Upgrade to Enhanced AutoPilot before Sept 30

    Central time here. It’s there I just bought the car 30 min ago, and I have 15 min to decide. I’ll probably be waiting for next quarter or subscription, need some time with regular autopilot first.

    Delivery Popped Tonight

    Woooo! Yep just did a 25 point turn to back it into my garage and finally finishing my drink. I went through the checklist and honestly nothing really stood out at all, except certain lights I see the color bumper plastic hue difference. I’ll review more tomorrow but I feel good about it...

    Ok walked around. Like 2mm off on windshield and the very subtle off white bumper that all or most Ys have. Can confirm showroom cars are very flush finish wise.

    Ok thanks guys. I’m sprinting down on a bike now lol. Can somebody post me that github link for the check off sheet? I can’t find it on phone. I’m assuming I’ll see the slightly off bumper paint but whatever.

    Delivery Popped Tonight

    The car is brand new, apparently just sat in showroom a bit. I agree the Supercharger miles is worthless, but is in addition to my referral link. 0 miles. I have not inspected it, but I'd imagine if they are displaying it then it wouldn't have anything terrible on the exterior. I can call...

    Delivery Popped Tonight

    Have an opportunity to pick up a car that was used in showroom but I have 3 hours to take it. I get 1,000 miles supercharging and $1650 off of the MSRP. Should I be skeptical? Kind of a lot considering I was waiting until December.

    White Interior and Car Seats

    Awesome yea those look good to me. I’m assuming you picked the gray? My seat is a black Nuna Rava and they said it’s fine as is because it’s rounded off, but I’m not sure I trust that. It’s apparently technically not tested with pads (as most seats aren’t I’d imagine), but the risk seems...

    White Interior and Car Seats

    Anybody with kids or babies + car seats have any recommendation for seat protection. I assume some sort of protector between car seat and white leather is important. I see a ton of options on Amazon, but does anybody have a recommendation and know a product that won’t leave any dye or marks...

    Model Y tint pictures

    Is there a thread that discusses XPEL vs 3M Ceramic or Crystalline and how well they match the OEM Hue? It seems most places in the Chicago area do XPEL, but I think I read it has more of a blue hue. Just really want something that blocks intense sun, and isn't distracting as a front seat...

    Model Y or Used X?

    Ah I voted Y before I saw your post. I would personally go for the X if I was trying to fit 4 kids in it. The Y seems like it will be really tight based on YouTubers opinions of the spacing. I guess nobody knows for sure, but that backrow might be super tight for a long trip.

    Wiki Model Y 19" vs 20" Decision Guide

    Are most people who get aftermarket wheels, just going with Gemini and selling the wheel + tire combo? Or are they putting the tire on aftermarket 19" wheels and selling only the wheels? I'm assuming 20" aftermarkets are for people who just want a more aggressive look, but it seems from...

    October delivery Dates

    My sales representative told me they would shift production September 12th, so I monitored the estimated week (which were 2-4 weeks at the time). I checked until Monday morning when the estimate finally said 7-11 weeks, which means to me the factory finally shifted production. Maybe the...

    October delivery Dates

    SC know as much as anybody on this forum. They moved production away from Model Y at Fremont for US deliveries after that September 14th date. It will eventually come back and likely be around early December, but could be pushed until end of December again like these September deliveries. I...
