    Would the Model Y Fishtail with the acceleration?

    Over the winter I had the opportunity to take our Model Y (LR) onto a frozen lake. Let me tell you the Model Y is about the most boring car in the world on a sheet of ice. It WILL move but it will not hang the tail out, if anything it understeers or if there is any grip to be found it just...

    Trade in credit value wrong

    Have Carvana give you a tradein offer too. We sold them two cars last year, one was going to go to Tesla until Carvana came in $3000 higher and our Tesla guy said that's common and I should take their offer. That car and the other one both had Carvana giving significantly more than either...

    Taking Delivery - need some advice

    We looked ours over and didn't notice anything amiss when we got it at the service center. Then we started to notice a few super minor things including a misaligned rear bumper, more noticeable in certain lighting, and a steering wheel that was slightly off center. We reported it all when...

    1st MY just Ordered. Have some Question/will take some advice.

    Get several quotes from different electricians. Why is your main panel in your basement? In any case our panel is in the garage but at the front of it, we wanted the charger by the door so up and over the 12foot ceiling with a several bends in the conduit about 45 feet total. Tesla...

    Air Filter location for replacement? MODEL Y

    Just did mine, the screw to remove the cover is now a 6mm hex head instead of the T-20 torx on the Model 3. Not overly difficult but not nearly as easy as it could be and is in many other cars. My car was built Sept 2020. Watch a video or look at some diagrams first, it's not intuitive as to...

    Is there space under the floor? Weird rattle, can't figure it out...

    SOLVED! We isolated the noise to the front passenger area and then I tried the backing up fast and hitting the brakes trick, no dice, nor did the coathanger with a gob of sticky tape on the end work. So I broke out the T45 bit, removed the four seat bolts, tilted it back, pulled the lower door...

    Is there space under the floor? Weird rattle, can't figure it out...

    Could an Advil or something else fallen into one of the air ducts under the front seats? If so there is a thread on vent covers. Take a look at this page, it's not a solution now, but it may give you a place to look. In particular look at the Tesla part catalog picture with the S curve in the...

    Is there a false floor or an underfloor compartment/area?

    Is there space under the floor? Weird rattle, can't figure it out...

    I'm experiencing a rattle/noise that's driving us nuts. It's something like a fastener that is loose and rolling around. It sounds almost exactly like a screw or nut or something rolling around on a rubber or plastic mat and when we found an Advil on the rear winter mat we were thrilled BUT...

    Steering Wheel off center?

    Our steering wheel was off to the right a tiny bit as well. My wife didn't notice it, but it bothered me. We explained it when we took it in due to an airbag sensor fault along with two areas of the rear bumper not being aligned correctly that we also hadn't noticed at delivery. All items...

    Heavy wear in front passenger tire - should I replace?

    That's bad as well, replace both and yes it definitely needs an alignment. My steering wheel was ever so slightly not straight when we got our car, when we took it back due to an air bag sensor fault I had them look at it and they performed a four wheel alignment as "goodwill". Steering wheel...

    Dashboard off center?

    Thanks for the responses. I guess we'll probably just wait for some other things to crop up and then try to address them all at once. It's not the end of the world and not really affecting anything day to day. Thanks!

    Dashboard off center?

    We've noticed that our entire dashboard (black with wood strip) seems to be mounted off center. On the left side there's about a 3/8" gap between the side of the dash and the door panel but on the right side the dashboard (actually the little metal strip by the wood) is causing an indentation...

    Diminished value claim?

    Every state is different in regards to Diminished Value. The first thing to make sure of is what the laws are in YOUR state. For example in mine (Colorado), if you file the claim with YOUR insurance company and then they collect from the other one, DV is not possible. However if you file it...

    Is it possible to "measure" how much power is used to charge my Tesla in the garage for tax purposes

    New Model Y is in garage, new wall charger being installed next week. Previously we tracked our fuel purchases and were able to deduct some/most of them for business purposes. When using a Supercharger that works as well. However when using a home charger is there a way or place to actually...

    October delivery

    Both our cars were blue. The Blue ones took the longest to get out of the factory and came in a large batch at and around the end of the quarter according to my sales center. My sequence is 0557xx, the other car was the 057xxx (i.e. different)

    October delivery

    mine is 0557xx but the car next to me at pickup in the exact same config and build date was 057xxx, can't recall the fourth number but was surprised that their car built the same day was at least 1400 higher in the sequence.

    Ready to order MY. Quick questions

    Sorry, yes those apparently are included however I did not see the value. I can park myself just fine and I saw no need to have the car slowly crawl toward me and hopefully not run into anything on the way that would end up being my fault. The slight extra autopilot features didn't seem all...

    Ready to order MY. Quick questions

    Autopilot is included even without FSD, your second point indicates, at least how I read it, that you believe otherwise (?) We did not get the FSD as there is no definitive timeline as to when it will be available. If it becomes available and if it is deemed good then we may reconsider, didn't...

    October delivery

    Took delivery yesterday of the one we ordered eight weeks ago, shows a production date of October (and we were notified it had completed build on Oct 1, VIN available 9/30), so basically an end of quarter car, sales guy was super confident all along that it would be delivered by end of quarter...

    New Y, October Build Date, And A Question

    Howdy! Picked up our new Blue LR DM Y yesterday, VIN 0557xx, the car next to it was 0571xx but both had October 2020 build tags so less than a week old even though VINs are a couple thousand apart.... Both basically perfect, or at least nothing to object to before taking delivery so that's...
