Thanks for sharing your thread. Your journey to get your car repaired was interesting and inspiring. When I got my Tesla Model Y I did not need a new car. I had an Acura MDX which would have been fine for 5-7 more years. My kids and my wife dislike the ride quality of my Model Y. In comparison...

This makes a lot of sense to me. Fortunately for me we don't drive much as we are working remotely and have an extra car.

I empathize with you. My model y touch the wall of my garage as I was backing out. I was going super slow. I am getting it repaired at Tesla Collision Center in Tucker, GA. I dropped the car off this past Friday. I got an estimate of $2700. I am paying out of pocket. I was told 1-2 weeks to...

You were all 100% correct. First estimate I got was generated by AI/Chat GPT. It was $1500. Last night I received an actual estimate of $2700. If the car backing slowly through a garage takes $2700 to repair I hate to think what it would cost if my car was in an accident. I am not handy, I fear...

I finally heard from them today. It was after 5 days. Typically Tesla service is quick to respond. Collision folks are much slower to respond. They told me that they will inspect my car and provide an estimate.

I have a 2021 Tesla Model Y. This past week I was backing out of my garage and one of the wheel wells touched the garage door. I was not going fast but there was some paint damage and black plastic liner around the wheel well came off. I contacted Tesla Collision and made an appointment. I...

I ordered mine without ever test driving any Tesla. My previous cars were BMW, Porsches, Acura, Audi. Very happy with MY LR

Until I bought Tesla MY I did mint know what panel gap was. When I went to pick my MY I brought a friend with me and a 2 page check list. We found a few minor issues. I came home took a look at 2020 Acura MDX and noticed panel gap issue in it. We bought many cars and never paid attention to...

I am in MN as well. I had a lot of concerns about Tesla quality and service. I even considered keeping my Acura MDX around. We already had 3 cars. I have young kids and busy jobs. My cars have been highly reliable so the thought Of getting unreliable car with poor service was scary. I debated...

I had concerns about Tesla quality and service. I was coming from Acura, BMW, Porsche. Fortunately for me I have had no problem. I will not consider MY a luxury car. It is fun to drive but the interior fit and finish does not comiare with other luxury cars like Porsche, BMW. I was took a risk...

One of the city police departments in twin cities started using Teslas as well. More will follow.

Yes, I saw the same TFLCar test. I was already planning on buying snow tires without seeing any of these videos.

I am in MN. I agonized over MYP vs MYLR decision. Ultimately decided to go with MYLR for better ride quality. I had plans to purchase the performance boost but I have been more than happy with MYLR performance. I have always had snow tires on all my cars in winter. We put them on in mid November...

I have owned Model Y LR for 1 year now. Before buying my very first Tesla I had a lot of quality and service concerns. My car hasn't had any problems in the first year. This past weekend it was snowing and I saw a service required message. I looked for service appointment fearing that it may...

2022

I have owned MYLR fir the past 11 months. I had a lot of concerns about reliability and build quality of Tesla and I have had zero issues. I am happy to see Fire Mach E and card like ID.4 as competition is good for customers. I never owned Ford before and I cannot imagine owning their first...

I picked mine last year on November 6 and it was 2021. Build date was October 20. Yours will be 2022

Thanks for sharing this. I am 8 months in and I live MY as well. It has brought back joy in driving.

I used sticker as well. Much easier than replacing center caps

I have apple MagSafe leather case. Charging never worked with Tesla charging pad. I had to buy a flimsy cover from Amazon. I just bought Jeda charging pad and phone charges with apple MagSafe leather case on iPhone 12 promax

I have sold my cars to private parties on Craigslist at prices far higher than carmax, caravans and car dealership. Tesla offered $5700 for my 2008 Acura MDX in mint condition. Other quotes were $6300-$6700. Sold to private party for $9500 in less than 24 hours.

You cannot blame Tesla for their desire to keep on selling car. Global chip shortage is real. I think both radar and lumbar supply may be as a result of parts supplies challenges. I missed out on heated seat but at least I have a radar and lumbar support.

I got 9.5 and I have no problems.

Washed the car since it was warm for the first time this year. Sun was setting in the background.

I am sorry for your experience. I am surprised that service has trouble diagnosing problems. It should be easier for them to determine what is wrong and fix it. Lack of parts in stick makes it even worse.

I have the exact wheels and I like how they turned out.

Last week I put my summer replica r241 19x9.5 wheels on. Haven’t had a red car for 25 years. We had a blue car already and my kids convinced me to get red and I like it. Red paint with black wheels is nice.

Replica R241 19 wheels

We pay 6 cents per KWH if we charge between 11 pm and 7 am in MN

I ordered them in January as well and got them in February. I went with 19x9.5. I just got them installed with the stock tires that came with Gemini wheels. I have not noticed any efficiency difference yet over Gemini wheels yet. I do like how they look with the red MY.

Tesla quality is not where it should be. Even bigger problem is the poor service. They have sold a lot of cars but they have not invested in ramping up their service staff. When car breaks down the parts are not in stock, service centers don’t work over the weekends, you cannot talk to anyone...

If you are getting tires installed you want to invest in jack pads required to raise Tesla. Or make sure the tire shop has them. remind them to use the jack pads. not using jack pad can damage your car.

I paid $115 to remove summer tires from Gemini wheels and install winter tires on the wheels. I don’t think you need to go to SC for tire/wheel changes Tires for Gemini wheels are good. If your new wheels are the same size you can use them with your new wheels. you should be able to sell the...

I have owned Acura MDX 2001, 2008 and 2020. My wife drives 2020. I sold my 2008 MDX for $9500 on Craigslist in less than 24 hours. So I cannot say anything bad about MDX. Did not have any reliability issues with MDX and service was excellent I have 2021 MY now. It is far more fun to drive than...

I have owned BMW and Porsche in the past. Quality of Tesla was my biggest concern. Fortunately I have not had any problem so far in 5 months of ownership. I don’t miss all the buttons, knobs that are present in most ICE cars. I enjoy over the air improvements. Not filling gas. Instant torque is...

What were you expecting to pay and what quotes are you getting? In Minneapolis I paid $1000 get get 60 feet wire pulled from my basement to my garage and install a charger. My other quotes were between $155 to $2500.

I live in MN. I will like AWD as well. Don’t care about range when it comes to safety during winter driving. I really hope this happens. We need to find influencers who get this on Elon’s radar.

244 EPA may mean 200-210 in real world driving. At 80% charge it will be down to 160-170 miles. In cold climates it will as low as 85-90 miles per charge.

There is a delivery tracker for folks who ordered MY. Perhaps a similar tracker can be created. It will help in understanding scope of the problem. yesterday I took the car out with my kids. It was -9 outside and the interior temp was 17. Car warmed up in 20-25 minutes. It will be a relief for...

Private party sale will get you the best price. Tesla offered my $5700 for my 2008 Azura MDX. It was in excellent condition. Carvana, carmax offered 6500. Sold it on Craigslist for $9500 in less than 24 hours. There were many buyers interested because car was in great condition and had low miles.

What? You don’t enjoying being asked to shake the sales managers hand and get the best deal which is only available to you at that very moment. I also prefer car buying service.

I had excellent experiences at Porsche. No upselling at all. I chose the car and options I wanted.

I had similar concerns as the OP. I have owned Japanese and German cars. I keep Japanese cars much longer than German. In the past 27 years I haven't have spent much time getting defects fixed. Always take care of my cars and get the serviced on a scheduled. I have young kids, and work is very...

It was -18 this morning. Car was warmed up in 10 minutes. I was not wearing gloves and it was comfortable

I am in MN. I love preheating the car in a closed garage. It took 10 minutes to heat the car from 20 to 70. Even without preheating the car warms up quickly. The app allow you to preheat the car, warm up the seats and defrost it. range is where you take a big hit. There are no problems in...

I am in MN as well but my utility is Wright Hennepin. Electric Vehicles | Wright-Hennepin Xcel offering seems good to me. 0.03 cents is hard to beat. It is good that at least it offers an ability to charge during the daytime. In my case we can only charge between 11 am to 7 pm. I had to buy a...

My wheels are satin black.

I placed my order for Replika R241 19x9.5 45 on 1/3/21. I heard today that they will be shipped on 2/5/21. I am still looking for center caps that will fit these wheels. I heard that Model X caps will fit but they are only sold to Model X owners and are all black. I found these. C98727 Tesla...

The invoice I received had nuts included. I did not know I could make service request in the app to purchase parts. Thanks

I will be using new wheels this spring so I needed to purchase Tesla Model Y TPMS. It sucks that they are not available in Tesla online store. I called service center and chose parts store. No one ever picked up and I did not leave a message. Today I called and left a message as well. I had the...
