    If you were close I would take you. I am sure something will work out.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Had exactly same issue last week. Rebooted to try and get FSD to download. Took forever for it to reboot, and when it came back, lost everything. Fill factory reset. I found a video by Tesla Joy where she had same thing and how to fix. Short answer is you have to redo your profile, then I had to...

    Discussion: Model Y General Waiting room for orders placed After January 2023

    Your spot on. We have taken delivery of a MY and M3 and this forum had me so worried and anxious with the extreme detail of these checklist. Both cars were great. Problem is I started looking at all cars with the super detailed eye and found our Chevy and my dads Lexus and Honda were both...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Me too. I am already happy with my FSD purchase. I love having a front row seat to this exciting journey. I suspect others are the same. You just hear from the ones complaining the most. I always laugh when people say FSD is not worth it. Guess it depends on the person. It is worth it to me and...

    I do not have the night driving "feature" yet. That could be bad if you drive late at night. I use autopilot all the time. Guaranteed 100 on an autopilot drive.

    One cool thing with Tesla insurance is teenagers are are priced no different. We have a non Tesla car with 2 teenagers. Savings was huge versus State Farm.

    It can be hard to get a 100 the first month, until you learn what dings the most. Tailgating and slamming on the brakes for a yellow light are the ones to be careful of. Acceleration doesn't count against you. You can floor it all you want.

    Discussion: Model Y General Waiting room for orders placed After January 2023

    That was me with the $60 Model Y insurance per month. I think the difference is I'm in IL, not CA. CA has different rules for Tesla insurance where safety score is not used. We keep a 99-100 safety score. Pretty easy once you drive a few weeks and see what to avoid. Also, the Tesla quote will...

    This is normal. We have a 2019 M3 and MY. The car will make all kinds of noises during updates. Also can make noises when parked. Unlike a gas car, your Tesla is monitoring and doing things even when parked.

    Glad you had a great experience. Being the internet, the super negative posts get most of the attention. I bet most experiences are like yours. I know our 2 deliveries were great.

    1000% agree! Had my Model 3 since 2019 and still smiling on every drive. Hard to explain and sounds silly, but true 😎

    No worries. I am just in this thread because I'm excited for you all. I remember how exciting it was for me and my wife when we got our Model Y.

    Haha. It is a little crazy here, but I just put Autopilot on. Anytime autopilot is on, you don't get dinged for anything (basically automatic 100 score) :)

    Discussion: Model Y General Waiting room for orders placed After January 2023

    I am the one that posted the insurance premium on our MY at $56. You are correct, that is with a 100 safety score. HOWEVER, the above is not how it works. Acceleration and speed do not count against you. You can floor it at every stop light and drive 90mph in a 65mph (or 30mph) zone and...

    While insurance is hard to compare from one person to another, in Illinois Tesla insurance has been super. Was with State Farm, and Tesla cut our insurance by around 60% and we upped liability coverage. This is for full coverage.

    I think you will love the seats and driving position. We have a Red MYLR and the seats are super nice. My dad was visiting at Christmas and he has a Lexus LS and he commented how nice and comfortable the MY seats were compared to his Lexus. I was surprised he said that, we really like the...

    1000% Exactly the same here. Buying our first EV was life changing as well. You are right, it does sound silly and it is hard to explain to family and friends. So many big and little things that add up to an amazing experience. It makes driving fun and exciting, like when you first got your...

    You all might want to at least get a quote from Tesla Insurance. Our Model Y is only driven about 10k a year, but the full coverage insurance is really cheap. This is Illinois, so YMMV. The first 2 months premium is based on a safety score of 90. After that it is based on your driving. We are...

    Discussion: Model Y General Waiting room for orders placed After January 2023

    One other thing I forgot to mention. While I was going crazy waiting for our M3 and MY a few years ago, I realized I had never "inspected in super detail" any other car in my 40 years of buying cars. I kept thinking about why I was so obsessed with every millimeter of gaps and such when taking...

    I don't have a current order, but just dropped by to say hi. We have both a model 3 and a model y. I drove myself crazy worried about the delivery and checklists and such before delivery. Both deliveries were great. It can get scary reading a few bad delivery stories, but most are great. Keep...

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    Fyi, I'm in FSD beta and the latest release has fixed the high beam issues for me. Like you, they were unusable in the past. I have been driving to work in the dark for the last two weeks and they are finally near perfect. I don't think the fix is a FSD thing so much, it should be rolled out to...

    Car & Driver: The Mach E is simply better than the Model Y

    You really should see the chaos going on with the MME. Of course we won't hear about it on the EV blog sites since it's not Tesla. I feel sorry for these people and the cluster over the HV battery recall. Craziest thing I have read! POST Recall Software HVBJB Failure

    FSD Beta 10.12

    You inspired me to post also 😊. I agree! This update has been a huge improvement for my area as well (IL/MO). It is handling back roads around our subdivision so much better. It used to be capped. around 28 mph, now it works as you would expect. Turns, our subdivision island, and proceeding...

    Car & Driver: The Mach E is simply better than the Model Y

    The OTA on the MME is killing it. It is still a hot mess with dealers required, and they are clues in most cases. OTA 1.7.1 Stuck, anyone else have issue updating?

    Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

    Seems the MME is starting to have some battery issues, might want to check the MME forum. Three people all having the same issue in the last couple weeks. Might not be a large number, but they also have not shipped very many either. MME battery dies

    Wiki MASTER THREAD: Actual FSD Beta downloads and experiences

    I am in IL and have this exact thing in my subdivision. I is a wide street intended for 2 way traffic, but FSD will stay centered, with the occasional yellow centerline popping up on the display and it getting over. Every time an oncoming car is headed for me, i give it lots of time to scoot...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Quick update. We had this boomy-ness at low speeds for the first couple months, but now that we have some miles on the car it is completly gone. Not sure if the tires started wearing or the suspension had to break in, but wanted to follow-up and let folks know.

    Model Y vs Mustang Mach E

    Cruised over to the Mach E forum a few minutes ago to see how the MME was really doing. WOW...there is crazy stuff over there! Many bricked cars from going downhill, but even more scary multiple owners having the High Voltage battery going bad and leaving them stranded. Over 2 months to get...

    Delayed DMV Registration?

    We are in Illinois and bought our MY in March '21. Now 3 months later still no plates (we did get title from IL though). I pulled a CarFax on our new MY and do see Tesla reported as a new car sale to IL right at delivery. Has anyone in IL taken delivery in March or even April and still...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Fyi, was at St Louis SC yesterday. They had lots of Plaids. Maybe 8, and 2 trucks unloading Y's with an S mixed in. I have fallen behind on this thread, so apologize if already posted.

    Mustang Mach-E Gets Great Reviews = Model 3 Challenger

    MME owners also blame Tesla for crashing if you defeat the safety measures all last week. This week a video is out showing the MME copilot system working even if you unbuckle and leave the seat. Now they claim any idiot knows not to do that. Funny how the don't even realize the double standard...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Just another data point as we all compare notes on this issue. Our March 2021 Y has this boom (wife does not notice, but I do). It is most notable in our subdivision grooved pavement around 20-30 MPH. Once we get driving around town it seems to diminish and/or I get less sensitive to it. I...

    Your alignment concerns are not covered by warranty.

    We had a vibration in our newly picked up MY last month. Service was outstanding, got us in quickly and addressed 100% with no charge. This was in St. Louis. So our experience was very positive. Just sharing so folks don't only hear the negative posts.

    Ford: Quality is job 1 or maybe job 2 or 3....

    Yes, the tone over on that MME forum went from "Ford will have real QA, unlike Tesla" last year to "this is the first EV from Ford" and "they will fix it soon". That forum was delusional to think Ford would not have issues at launch. Now they have folks rejecting cars for panel gaps, tons of...

    MYLR delivery declined-no pre-delivery interior inspection

    Curious about this as well. I am picking up in St. Louis end of next week. Spoke to an advisor yesterday and he said the process was something about "accept delivery" on your phone via the WEBSITE first, then on your next APP logoff/logon the new car will show up and you can unlock, etc...

    Model Y vs Mustang Mach E

    This is too funny. 10,000+ negative posts on the MME forum about Tesla's famous "in spec" for panel gaps over the last year. Now Ford has bad gaps and dealer says it's "in spec". Hilarious! https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/uneven-gap-between-glass-roof-and-tailgate.4144/
