Can someone clarify for me whether I qualify for the $7500 tax credit? I have a 2022 Model Y and took delivery in May of 2022. The Tesla website as well as news sites say it should qualify but I found a IRS article that says that it's over the 200k production limit so it's not eligible but I'm...

Hi, I have a question about the 30% federal tax credit. If I buy a $3000 solar generator now and claim a 30% tax credit on it, does this mean that I can't claim another 30% tax credit on a potential $40K solar/powerwall install later down the line for the same house? Thanks.

How much is paint touch up on a small spot going to cost?

I noticed a small paint chip in the back of rear liftgate. It's pretty small and I just want to touch it up to prevent any rust. Is t he touch up paint from the Tesla shop pretty much the best I can get or are there other solutions you guys recommend? Thanks.

Anybody have any suggestions?

I'm about to go on a 2000 mile roadtrip. Anyone know of a good source for either pre-cut or bulk PPF that I can quickly slap on the car? If it's cheap enough, I won't mind the aesthetics, I will just quickly slap it on, do my roadtrip, then if I'm really not happy with it, I can always just...

I would like to know if biodefense mode only cleans the outside coming in or does it also clean the air inside the cabin? Thanks.

I'm not sure if claybar can remove this, the defect feels dried into the surface. It's not like some random surface deposit. It looks like it's part of the paint.

I just got my car recently and while wiping down the hood, noticed this paint defect near the middle. I'm not sure what happened but like some kind of hole there and they used some bad touch-up paint to try to cover it up? Is this something that could be fixable by the service center? Any...

Good point, I'm going to give that a go. Thanks for the tip!

I think a good strategy is to get the normal gemini wheels and use the extra cash to buy second hand uberturbines. This way, you have two sets of wheels.

Which service center is that? I'm also in SJ and they told me my only only pick up option was at the Fremont factory.

Spoke too soon. Got my VIN assigned just now. I have 2 questions: The delivery window is set to the 5/20-5/21. This is incredibly close! I don't have time to get my financing together and the rep said if I don't accept the offered dates, I might be pushed back months. I have my tesla loan...

Now 5/20-5/24. Is it normal to not have received my VIN yet?

Pushed yet again. Now 5/18-5/29

Every time I get inside the EDD window, they push it back a couple of days 5/15-5/28 😆

Getting closer.... now 5/12-5/22. Still no VIN.

Well I'm back to a 5/9-5/22 date. Let's see if it holds this time.

Tesla is beyond ridiculous. I got a call from a rep yesterday to confirm my account information because he said I was so close to delivery. I asked him if he was sure since they keep on pushing the dates. He said he was confident. Today, Tesla pushed the dates to, get this, 8/11 - 9/22? What...

Right as I'm in the EDD window, Tesla pushes it to: May 04 - May 18 :mad:

EDD narrowed to 4/22-5/6 (MYLR white/black interior/hitch/no fsd)

Anyone know if Tesla provides mudflaps with Model Y deliveries in the bay area? I just want to make sure before I go ahead and buy a set myself. Thank you.

My EDD just went from 3/23-4/6 all the way out to 4/20-5/25 :(

Wow, within the span of a little over week, Tesla pushed up my EDD from September to mid-July now to: March 23 - April 06

Is he able to reject the car with that older VIN and ask for a newer car?

End of August 2021

I also placed my order.

Sorry, what's OD

Quick update: Tesla just pushed my delivery back up to mid July-early August.

Thanks for the advice. I'm also in Santa Clara County. My neighbor's house is right next to mine so we are definitely at the same elevation. The installation by Clean Solar seemed pretty straight forward to me. They just mounted the Powerwall inside the garage, elevated about 3ft above the...

I need to post an update: This past weekend, my neighbor next door, who has the same house layout as mine, had Clean Solar contractors over. They were installing a Powerwall in their garage, mounted only about 3 feet above the floor. I still want to go with Tesla since they offered the best...

I have a Model Y LR on order with a EDD of Sep 2022 (it used to be Apr 2022 but it got delayed). I don't have an assigned VIN yet. I just got approved for a loan from a Tesla preferred partner (turns out it's Wells Fargo Auto). I asked a service rep if it's possible for me to switch back to a...

I have a question: Will they drill the bumper and mount the license plate by default? How do you guys prevent them from doing this and tell them that you are going to provide your own license plate mounting method? Thanks.

I made my order for a Model Y Long Range at the end of August 2021. Initial EDD was Mid-Feb 2022. Then it got pushed out to April 2022, now it's all the way back out to September 2022? Anyone experiencing this?

Project status update (just for the record and for anyone else who cares): Well, after my project advisor assured me twice that my 12/21 install date would NOT be occurring because of the design issue, the solar and Powerwall trucks still showed up. However, it looked like none of the teams...

Thanks for the anecdote. It did remind me that I do know from my design plans that my designer is named '*******' I see that he has a linkedin profile with a matching job description of PV Designer II at Tesla, started Jan 2020, although it would seem out of line to contact him in that fashion...

Thanks for the replies. Do you know if there is any way that I can connected directly to the designers? My project advisor has not been responsive at all to my emails and I don't feel confident that I can rely on him to relay my concerns/suggestions back to the design team. I would hate for my...

After a year of delays and 2 failed installation attempts, my third installation attempt was supposed to happen next Tuesday. They could not proceed with the 2 previous installation attempts because they found some flaws in the design plans on the day of the install. Curious to see if they had...

Not sure if this has been posted before but it looks like the Clean Fuel Reward will drop to $750 after 11/1. At the bottom of the Clean Fuel Reward site, it says: The $1,500 maximum reward amount is for vehicle sales completed by 11/1/21; beginning 11/2/21 the maximum reward will be $750...

I'm providing updates to my own thread here. Recap: my install was supposed to have happened last June. They came on-site but packed up after they found out that their design plans were not to code because I'm in a flood zone. They said they would draw up new plans and get back to me...

Thank you all for the advice. I had a couple conversations with a couple customer reps. As reported earlier, the first rep told me that I should expect the price increase because they increased the size of my solar install. However, I was later able to get a hold of another customer rep...

I got an unexpected email this morning that just said "View Your Design" when I was already scheduled for an install next Thursday. After logging in to my account, I found out that they increased the price of my install by around $700 because they changed my solar size from 8.16 kW to 8.5 kW...

@dailo sorry haven't been following the thread, did you get a normal powerwall or a powerwall+?

Thanks, I have one more question. I would like to put in a deposit ASAP but I'm still shopping around for a loan. Can I select cash payment first for now, then later ask my sales rep to change it to a Tesla loan instead? Similarly, if the car price increases in the mean time, will changing from...

Just spoke to a customer rep on chat: He confirms that if the price goes down, I can take advantage of the lower price. If the price is higher, I will be locked in to the current price. I can change the options and color with no charge penalty. However, if I want to change the color but the...

What if they decrease the price of the Model Y between when I placed my order to when I take delivery? Will they honor the new lower price or am I locked in to the higher price?

Thank you all very much. After putting in my order deposit, am I still able to change the options around (e.g. changing the color)?

If place an order for a MY but don't take delivery, do you guys know what does the gov consider as your purchase date? My questions is, if the infrastructure bill passes with EV credit but it is not retroactive, can I delay my order until after the bill passes, or do they consider the day you...

I finally acquiesced and accepted their new terms. I then asked the PA to send me their updated designs so I can review it prior to installation. He ends up sending me the design document for another random house (that I do not own). The saga continues.

What did you mean by 'placed order'? Like you put down the initial deposit, or you have accepted the design for the solar panel placements?
