I just stopped by and it’s still offline - can’t wait to see this station activate….

Thank you to everyone for the viewpoints - all great ones! I think there are two issues to separate here. One issue is how fast you should be driving in the left-most lane when it is an HOV-designated lane (not the "fast lane" on other highways). The other issue is whether or not MYs and...

I love sailing past the traffic in the HOV lane - it's now a Tesla express lane out here. Tapping on the brakes used to be my ICE way of dealing with tailgaters but with MY, I actually care about not getting into a fender bender 🤣. gotta try the slowly reducing speed trick!

I was wondering about that, but have always drop out of AP when traffic starts to get congested so it's not like I'm phantom breaking and they have to break suddenly. The ones that drive me crazy are the cars that feel like you cut them off, they zoom around you and try to slice off your front...

OK, so I don't think I drive that differently from when I had an ICE car to now. But as people start returning to the morning and evening commute, I've had more aggressive behavior from other drivers than at any time I can recall before the pandemic. If I'm AP'ing in the HOV lane at 80, or...

Get ready for the HOT weather! :). I'm also in AZ and completely agree, the non-Tesla charging network is unreliable. Unless you want to charge at L2 speed. Then there's plenty around. After driving the MY for a few months, with a few longer distance trips, I don't really think much about...

BeauMoto in PHX area for PPF. He comes to you. Did the front for me and excellent job.

LOL! But even with the stiffer suspension, the seats are by far the most comfortable of any car I have owned. Now, I have not owned the highest end luxury cars, but cars in Model Y's price range, size, or class all have inferior seats IMHO. Completely agree on the handling. Would rather...

Really? I’d love to see the data on that. Aerodynamics is a major factor versus weight. I have a trailer for kayaks and other lightweight gear that I used to use for another car. I haven’t taken it out yet with the Y but was looking forward to testing it out. I also have an old school Thule...

I have this issue too. iPhone 11.

This is correct, my Y doesn't have the option. It's definitely a lot stronger regen compared to the i3. But I kinda prefer it now. Makes 1-pedal driving effortless once you figure out how much pedal to use before releasing for full regen braking. Also really like the "hold" when the Y comes...

I am very impressed with the other SC stations across the AZ, NM, and CO areas. Clean, several options for bathrooms and eating, and generally pleasant experience. I'm sure it will be better as the new chargers are online...

https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/burn+rubber jk! 10K seems really unusual. Even for OEM. Maybe highway roads are especially rough and eating up tires more than other roads?

I think it is 2 V2s. Was just through there last week and charging was slooooooooow ;).

Normally there are 4, but with new install there may be double that. The hotel where the SCs were located was really obnoxious - would not let folks go in to use the bathroom. Had to run like chickens across a busy, truck-infested road to a gas station across the street. Not much in this SC...

Gallup, NM. Recent trip - 4 SC stations but 2 out of commission due to construction to add more. Probably 6 Teslas waiting. Waited about 30 min, but everyone was cool with it. Doubt this is normally the case, since that location will likely have 8 total in a couple of weeks. Is there info...

Thread bump. Any new learnings from this one? I was thinking about long trips in the summer with a powered cooler (no need for ice, wheel it in and out of car without having to take stuff out, etc.). I'd be worried too about heat dissipation if seated in the trunk or trunk wells. FYI, Costco...

Tesla should give you the equivalent of 1k miles free supercharging for this kind of screw up. That's a lot of money!

The BMWi3 is fun to drive as a commuter and it’s got that unique look. Some hate it and others love it. The deals are great on 2017 and newer, and you can get the more reasonable battery for range. I have not had much anxiety range issues since I plug in each night. The MY is going to be...

Timing for your decision is important. Lots of non-Tesla models coming and supposedly improvements to public charing network. Ask yourself how far you drive, how much you actually need charging outside home, and what you think will make you happy. Agree with all the other commenters here -...

Where’s the sign up list?

WHERE can you do 150 on the east coast! Man, I'd love to see the car go whipping by, turning heads (but not the cars with the lights and sirens chasing after you!). Congrats!

Congrats and looks awesome!

I've had about a week in my 2021 MY, and at first, I found the bumpiness as bad as many people have described it. But after the week, I have found that a lot of it depends on how aggressively you drive the car and whether you spend time looking ahead at the road to avoid the patches, pot holes...

Wow, what is up with being able to leave the car in neutral and walk away? If it's stick, OK but an automatic? Sorry dude - at least you'll have a shiny new backend!

Congrats - but I'm not sure anyone really knows when the headlights come in. With the big push to hit numbers in the quarter, it may be before or after the end of Q. Great thing to just get to drive one of these awesome machines!

Got mine Saturday with Vin141XXX - no new headlights. But.....I'm not sure I would notice - the low beams are super bright and fine with me. White MY LR 20" induction, 5-seat, tow package.

Also got quotes from Tesla, Carvana, Vroom, etc. Tesla is the lowest. I don't blame them, since they're not making any money off the trade ins. They're just pushing volume of teslas and that's totally cool by me.

That is a sweet looking ride! (Maybe that's my white one behind yours, LOL) Thanks for sharing the pic and enjoy!

Dude, congrats! Post pictures tomorrow!

That's a nice ride! Congratulations and be happy with a great purchase!

Past cars I have owned were white, black, and silver. The white and black paints were Mini and BMW, and I would say both showed equal amounts of scratches, dings, and other really irritating blemishes. The silver car was a Toyota, and it showed less marks, but I think that was just because it...

What color did you order?

MSM is really nice under the lighting I saw it in (was the test drive vehicle, and it was in a garage so at first I didn’t like it, felt it was too plain, but then when I pulled it out into sunshine it really looked great). Well, this is making it harder to pick! But thanks for the...

They're doing that in China through Tesla - I wonder if US Tesla will start offering wrap services? Are the Tesla paint jobs really not so great? I have owned several German cars and they all had some minor issue here or there, or got pitted like normal on the front. As long as these card...

What was it that you didn’t like about owning a black car?

Nice! Red is a great color - just watch out for those pesky speed traps!

Wow look at the shine on those cars!! Blue and Black both look amazing. Making it harder to decide ;)

Tesla Blue was my first choice! But I kept looking at the different colors and noticing elements I liked about each one - do you think the clear coat on the Teslas help with keeping them looking clean? I saw in other posts that some folks recommend getting a protecting coating right away...

First post (go easy on me, and sorry if this has already been answered somewhere before, I couldn't find it) and looking forward to becoming a Tesla Model Y owner! I'm looking to order a MY LR, so I scanned the awesome order tracking sheet (thank you Troy!). From the stats, Red and Black are...
