There are people who really want the new tech, so while for many it's not a good option, for others they'll be ecstatic.

Finally! I know you were pretty frustrated. The finish line is in view!

I don't think the SR should even be on that list at this time since it's on a completely different assembly line. In that line, it's all they make, so it always has top priority.

That's not accurate. Plenty of LR have been delivered.

Is yours a Performance? At the moment it's only the Performance version that's coming with the Matrix headlights. Well, maybe the Austin standard range ones too.

Likely someone turned down an order in that area, so they called whoever was next in line that lives nearby. When it comes to a local SC, I believe that someone could move up in line just by (politely) bugging their local SA enough. You'll be the first person they think of when an order of...

I think a thing yo remember is that while Tesla I'd a big name, their manufacturing capability is still limited. It is getting better, but not at the pace that demand has increased. Add in supply chain issues, and the challenges are even bigger. And there is no magic button that will make...

Congratulations!

At the same time, OG MYP orders from March and April should also recognize that their orders were pushing back the LR orders too. Unfortunately, there's only 1 line. In order for nobody to be pushed back, P models would have to get zero priority from the start. These are all growing pains...

"Sorry for the wait. Here's $1000."

Most banks or credit unions can get financing approved in a day or two. Go in person if necessary.

I believe that is the default number they put on there.

Those Ubuerturbine wheels are pretty heavy. I suspect that to make a bigger difference in city driving than highway. Once those big heavy wheels get moving, the weight difference isn't as significant. But if you're stopping frequently, you have to overcome rotational inertia more often, which is...

The challenge with the video is that it's using Tesla's numbers, which are for completely different wheels at each size. Larger non-aero wheels will cause more turbulence than a smaller version of the same exact wheel. But if you get a large aerodynamic wheel versus a smaller non-aerodynamic...

It's every 3rd order with FSD as long as the order was placed on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday.

Sometimes the reason for a delivery refusal is lame, or easily correctable. If there was a paint chip or dent, I'd take it with a Due Bill showing they will fix it instead of refusing it and waiting months.

It seems we spoiled Californians get Teslas faster, while you Florida's are stuck with things like low taxes and freedom.

Yeah. When you look at it overall, without knowing all the internal logistics, it sucks. But it's better for mental health to just let that stuff go. Many times, someone in one particular region turns down a vehicle, so someone else in that same region with an identical setup gets the VIN. If...

I'm not sure if it affects range all that much. Maybe in a lot of stop-and-go traffic, but once the wheel gets moving its weight is negligible. It's more about aerodynamics at that point.

Smaller wheels = ride comfort Lighter wheels = faster acceleration Thinner wheels = more range, less stopping power Aerodynamic wheels = more range

Then that would just be a full cash payment, and you can give your down to your bank. I just told the bank the amount I wanted them to finance and then I paid the difference to Tesla.

Whoa. That's awesome. Is your deductible really high?

I believe that due to ship shortages, the USB ports are using chips that lack data transfer functionality. I think one still does data transfer (not positive). So you can charge devices, but can't play music directly from a phone or drive. You also can't use those ports for storing Sentry Mode...

I paid before seeing the car.

Kinda ironic isn't it? An insurance company called "Nationwide" isn't available in your area.

I'm in Ventira County, California. I pay 1300 for 6 months for 2 Teslas. A Model 3 and Model Y.

I recall hearing that the RN number is not sequential. They're in batches with wide number ranges, but avoid sequential numbers precisely because they don't want the exact numbers of orders placed to be private.

Take it. The Austin cats won't be ready for LR or P for several months. You won't be able to delay your order enough times without it getting canceled.

NY sounds insane.

Yes Just let Tesla know how much will be financed, and you'll be able to pay the difference (down payment) through the app.

I love the name! Especially with the pic by the water.

Californians look at those gas prices with jealousy.

So I checked today. Perfect. Admittedly, I was a little surprised. Our Model 3 had a slightly misaligned door that had to be fixed. But this Y? Everything looks even.

I've got a pretty packed day, so I couldn't spend time there checking. Will have to do this weekend.

...and a lot of that is just the wheels. A MYP with Gemini wheels would get close to the efficiency as the LR, assuming you're driving in "Chill" mode.

That would be a logistical nightmare because different people order different configurations. They'd have to pause the production line after every car.

Haha. That's my son standing there. Im about 4" shorter and a lot older!

When I picked up today, the front license plate frame was on the floor by the back seats.

Picked up today. It took about 4 minutes since they saw that we already have a Model 3 and knew how this worked. Will go through checklist later. We have 3 days or 100 miles, whichever comes first. I pic with my son on the Camarillo lot, and one with it parked at home. I need to make some room...

Hmm... I don't know. But if there is one, I have a feeling it won't be very secure and will "accidentally" fall off when I get home.

That's a good observation.

When I read "if you're accustomed to a Lexus ride..." I was like, "no no no", then read the rest of the sentence. lol Nothing against those that like a cushy ride. I had a Lexus for a while and was unhappy with it, while some friends liked it. I thought Id like it. The product itself was fine.

That's a small shift. Hopefully it's the last one before a VIN like mine was.

True. On the test drive, I definitely could feel the weight when turning, but was also happy with the lack of body roll. It was heavy, but planted. I haven't tried it on bumpy roads, but have had cars with aftermarket stiff suspension combined with low profile tires before, so I think I know...

lol. Just sayin... Catching up. haha.

Thanks for the heads up. I wonder if they'd let me just fill out a Due Bill if there are chips so that I can bring it back at another time.

Separate batches... on the same delivery line. Just like different colors.

It's either that or knitting.
