    Model Y insurance ..AAA?

    AAA and Tesla for me were fairly close, I"ve been with AAA for years and have my homeowners with them as well. However, AAA doesn't offer lease-gap insurance in California, which I definitely want, so I went with the Tesla insurance.

    If I place order today, will I get the new console?

    Everyone getting a long-range, at least in California, seems to be getting the new console, so order away. You can confirm when they match your VIN if it has the new console and can reject the delivery if not and wait for a new build. No reason to wait, really.

    SR Model Y 5 seater waiting room

    I ordered mine in mid-January but had to reject the first car. The second one came in last week and I picked it up on Sunday. Also in SoCal, but it's a long-range. Seems like those are coming in fast, the SR, as it's now off-menu, seems much slower. Good luck. What color?

    California LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yes. Old headlights. i think, at least in California, you can assume new center console and heated wheel at this point.

    California LR AWD Waiting Room

    I just got mine last Sunday right when this thread started. There is hope! I'm in LA and picked it up at the MDR distribution hub. Kind of surreal actually. There were several whites, two blues, a midnight silver, a black, and mine was the only red...and I really think I made the right choice...

    Recco for Home Charging Station Install

    The guys are currently installing my charger as I type, in Los Angeles. The box is on the other side of the house, and they need to do a bit of rearranging to get an open circuit on my box, total is about $1200.

    Model Y insurance ..AAA?

    I talked to AAA back in October and they said to get back to them when I had a VIN #. I live in Los Angeles, so all insurance is expensive. They quoted me over $6,000 a year. I think not. This is after nearly 30 years with them plus homeowners. Going to check out Tesla's insurance as soon as...

    Sad ordering experience

    I would go into the Tesla service center/showroom (well masked and socially distanced) and talk to the sales reps IN PERSON. They can't ignore you if you're standing in front of them. Ask for the build date. Supposedly if it's after February 7th the new console should be included, rumor has it...

    Clean Vehicle Assistance Program and Tesla

    OK, so I'm a bit confused. CVAP showed approval on Monday morning, I got the email this morning, printed out the page and emailed the PDF to my Service dude. At the same time, I got matched to a VIN number today, so it's all happening at once. How long does this take to "hit my tesla account?"

    Wiki Teslike Model Y Survey & Order Tracker Spreadsheet

Delivery date is March 4 - March 7, VIN is 141xxx. I live in LA. Red MY LR 20 induction wheels black interior...

    Tall Model S owners - 6'5" (195cm)

    Agreed. I'm getting an MY because it's fun to drive and of course an EV, and the price is right. I didn't get into an MY and think it was so beautiful, but once I drove it I liked it. My tall friend probably would find the MY too plain for his tastes.

    Tall Model S owners - 6'5" (195cm)

    Interesting. So you found the MY more friendly to a tall person than the Model S?

    Tall Model S owners - 6'5" (195cm)

    He's not into the X. Have you ever comfortably driven a Model S or know anyone who has? My BF and I rented one for a long weekend, and he had no issues, and he's just shy of 6'4". My friend Keith isn't really looking for an EV yet, more likely a plug-in hybrid. But I'm giving him the pitch for...

    Tall Model S owners - 6'5" (195cm)

    I have a friend who's 6'5" who doesn't like the Model X and claims he cannot drive a car, only an SUV. Anyone here that tall, or married/dating a tall guy that drives an S? I know I've had tall friends that cannot fit into a lot of cars.

    When is structural battery pack & 4680 cells coming & Why are you not waiting until then?

    This technology is still changing very quickly, and many competitors will be entering the market in the next couple of years. I'm waiting on delivery but I'm doing a 3-year lease for the first time in my life, partially because I'm now in business for myself and can deduct a payments, but also...

    I applied on December 9th. I called and got through last Friday Feb 19. They said my application was due to be reviewed anytime now and I should have approval by today or possibly monday. I checked the site and I am indeed under application review status. Hopefully that will indeed happen on...

    Clean Vehicle Assistance Program and Tesla

    Submitted on 12/9, called last Friday 2/19 and I was "close," probably by this Friday or Monday. Still showing as "in process" on the website. It's Tuesday 2/23. Fingers crossed any day now. I emailed my sales associate and asked for a confirmation that they are actively looking for a car for...

    Clean Vehicle Assistance Program and Tesla

    Had a long chat with them today. I think his name is Adolpho, and he's super helpful. Applied 12/9, in final approval, should be done next Friday or Monday, and my other transaction is due to close on Wednesday. Getting close, emailed my rep to make sure he's on the hunt for a VIN. I would love...

    Clean Vehicle Assistance Program and Tesla

    I applied on 12/9, so it seems I should be in final approval shortly and get my packet next Friday or Monday. I had one other financial transaction that I needed to happen which is supposed to close Wednesday 3/3. Which is good because my car officially died today! Has anyone actually done this...

    MY Color and Delivery Date?

    I was in a parking lot the other day that had 5 MYs, in all the different colors. Seriously like a showroom. White, black. blue, red, MSM. I was kinda torn between blue and red, car colors which I've never had, but seeing it in person in sun made the red a no brainer for me. Which is good...

    Model Y leasing now available

    I like the lower monthly payments, and I can deduct the lion's share of the lease payments. My business is still in the initial/expansion stages so decreased monthly cash flow is a top consideration. I don't have a crystal ball, and I'm suspicious of any 3 year resale assumptions that are based...

    Clean Vehicle Assistance Program and Tesla

    No, I'll do a straight 36 month lease. I'm self-employed so I can deduct most of the lease payments so it's worth it. Also I'm not sure I want to invest in owning a car with the tech changing so fast.

    Clean Vehicle Assistance Program and Tesla

    Thanks for all of that info. What additional documents were needed. I applied on 12/9, so I'm thinking giving what they're working on I should get the approval late this month. I've emailed them and get a terse response that basically says "we're working on it, don't bug us." Not sure if a...
