    Average age of Model 3 owners?

    Both really good points. Hopefully FSD will be a thing in the not toooo distant future. Also, thankfully many of the commands in a Tesla are voice activated. As time goes on, these features will only get better.

    Safety Score

    In the meantime we are all wondering if we need to keep driving like this until our day comes. I’m right there with you.

    Second Acceleration Boost

    I had thought about putting mine on Turo. Curious how it’s going for you and how much money you’re making.

    Grinding Noise when Traction Control Actuates

    Good point, it does sound similar to the ABS. I hadn't thought of that given I wasn't considering slowing down but rather accelerating and turning.

    Grinding Noise when Traction Control Actuates

    When your traction control is actuated does anybody else hear a grinding or scraping noise? I have a sharp upwards turn onto a road near my house and if the ground is a little wet I assume the traction control kicks in. I hear a noise that only lasts for a second that sounds like a mudflap...

    Mud flaps & Model Y

    Installed my OEM mudflaps this afternoon. Just did a 20 mile round trip on wet highway roads, and neighborhood streets that had some small amounts of mud and rocks from debris runoff from the recent rain in the mountains. I’m happy with the results. The side of the Y is still clean and the flaps...

    SC Hood Adjustment Worse After Appointment - DIY Results

    Picked up MY 12/30. Made appointment because hood was misaligned and had a lip sticking up at the front. SA said gaps were within spec, one side of hood was almost touching the bumper. Drivers side sat lower than fender, it was a mess. Took the car to SC and was told they’d adjust the closing...

    2021 MYP Waiting Room

    I did. No Vin, no communication. Ordered 10/23. I reached out to them 12/30 and got the response of pick an inventory or wait 1-12 weeks. I had already sold my car and was without transportation. Going back to work Jan 4 and needed something. Wife was fine with the LR and I really wanted the...

    2021 MYP Waiting Room

    So just got the text from Tesla that they don’t expect my MYP to be done this year. I live 30 miles from Fremont, ordered 10/23. Unreal. “Tesla Update - thank you for supporting Tesla's mission as a future owner of a Model Y. Due to high demand and limited supply, we now expect your Model Y to...

    2021 MYP Waiting Room

    Bay Area people who ordered performance Y's and who don't have a VIN, what do you think? Are we getting our cars this year? 3 days left and I guess Tesla is ok with letting us know last minute but I'm starting to feel like there's a potential they aren't coming. Especially after seeing a couple...

    2021 MYP Waiting Room

    Depends where in CA you are too. Could have already been a shipment headed your way that they matched you to. Versus if you live near Fremont they could still be making your car. I, for example, live about 30 mins from Fremont, and I have still not received a Vin despite ordering in October and...

    California waiting room Q4

    Once you have a vin are you then able to login to your account to pay the balance via electronic check? I’m guessing this option doesn’t appear until the above condition is met. Is that correct?

    Homelink installation fail

    $174 savings, not bad! Can you elaborate more on the process of how you found the home link, disconnect, install and what Tesla said when you told them you had your own? Thanks!

    I don’t have tow and I’m located in Santa Cruz. No vin, just estimated delivery window until the end of the year. There’s still a few of us waiting.

    How to finance

    Reviving this old post because I’m doing the same. I just wanted to confirm the pre-approval blank check from navy fed was sufficient for Tesla and they didn’t give you a hard time when picking up the car. I’m approved at 2.29% and I‘m choosing to put a down payment of around $10k-$15k with a...

    Talked to my SA yesterday. He said my MYP will be delivered the last couple days of this year and that free supercharging will be included. Fingers crossed.

    This is great to hear. Congrats on your delivery! I hope we all can be this fortunate!

    You ordered in September and they’re telling you that you’re not getting your performance this year?! Unreal. Did you happen to make any changes to your order during that time?

    Thanks for updating us! I am a little worried as well, especially about the ride harshness but after reading your post, my feelings are more at ease. I'm getting excited and a little impatient for mine; I hope the wait is worth it!

    2021 MYP Waiting Room

    Thanks! Ya, I'm right there with you. I was shocked b/c when they asked me what my expected offer would be, they came back at nearly $1.5k over that. o_O:confused: Curious to see what they will list it for now.

    2021 MYP Waiting Room

    My account updated today; now says estimated delivery Dec 18 - Dec 31. First time I've had an estimated delivery window. Christmas Day will be 9 weeks exactly from when I ordered with an initial estimate of 5-9 weeks for delivery from the custom order page. Figure I'll lay low until the the 26th...

    I think so! This. Most likely you are correct, sir.

    The price we pay to live in the Bay. Tesla knows we are picking up at their house. They’ll call last minute I bet.

    2021 MYP Waiting Room

    Seems crazy to me that we would not receive our cars until 2021. Even crazier that it could take 14 weeks! I don’t understand why they’d wait until 2021 to deliver the performance to us Californians.
  41. AmbienWalrus

    California waiting room Q4

    God, that would be nice. I ordered 10/23 and still have never had estimated delivery on my page. Only ever had “we will reach out..” They’ve lowered my valuation by 2 grand and now left in limbo. Sucks because I would’ve hoped they would prioritize the performance people but we are all left in...

    2021 MYP Waiting Room

    I'm in the exact same position as you. Installed my wall connecter this weekend and my account shows no vin or est. delivery date. I'm more in their backyard as being really close to Fremont so we'll see. Nearing the 18th would be great. I ordered 10/23. Edit* We are practically the same...

    Forward Facing 7 Seater Option

    I was looking at the Model Y specs page and it seems that the rear seats for the 7 seater option in this picture would be for forward facing seats. The YT'er Sandy M. speculated they could be rearward facing but, I'm thinking that after seeing this picture, they most likely won't be. What are...

    What will you name your Model Y?

    Olæf. Have 2 daughters obsessed with Frozen and they wanted to name our Pearl White MYP Olaf because it looks like a snowman to them (character in the movie). I prefer female names for my vehicles so this is like the female version of Olaf. Pronounced Aw-Lif. Kinda sounds like a timey version of...

    Wiki Teslike Model Y Survey & Order Tracker Spreadsheet

    Is there any evidence that shows changing your order after you’ve made a reservation resets your place in line? I’ve gone from performance to LR, back to performance. Original reservation date was 10/23. Settled on performance for the second time on 11/19. Just curious.

    California waiting room Q4

    It's most likely because they are trying to push sales as high as possible before the end of the quarter. For me being located in CA, I will most likely take delivery towards the EOY because I live so close to the Fremont Factory. Tesla will try and ship their cars farther first and then deliver...

    FSD price hike during delivery

    The thing about FSD that made me hesitate is the possibility that if something happens to my car, it has to be purchased again for the replacement vehicle. It really should be attached to the owners account.
