    Should I get trunk panel gap fixed? Scared..

    I had something similar with my MY picked up in August. Took it to the service center and they fixed it without a problem. As others have said, I think it is a matter of dialing in some adjustments and is fairly simple most of the time.

    Streak Free Windows?

    I had the same question. I heard good things about Chemical Guys products and found this video. I bought their streak free wash and waffle patterned microfiber cloths and my windows look great, not much work. Just spray, wipe down and then dry with a separate cloth. Bammo.

    Garage Door Opener?

    +1 for the homelink you can buy from Tesla. Works really great and I love that it will automatically open gates when I get close to them. A real luxury.

    New Vehicle Odometer

    Picked mine up with 7 miles yesterday in Costa Mesa CA, not sure what the paperwork said (I didn't notice that).

    CA Waiting Room

    Just an update on my delivery experience yesterday. Received a text about an hour before our delivery telling us that the car was at this address in spot #6. We arrived just a couple of minutes early with a check from our bank and started inspecting the outside of the car. Soon an advisor came...

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    My insurance renewed in the middle of my wait also. That was the only thing I had to "change" and it did not appear to affect my wait time (78 days from order to delivery - assuming everything goes well with delivery today). I know I was a little put off by the blue replace button also, but...

    My experience was similar. Got the VIN yesterday afternoon, waited about 24 hours and texted SA. She wrote back with the delivery center phone number. We called them and the message said "if you have a VIN someone will contact you for delivery" but gave you the option to still talk to someone...

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    That was my case as well. Got my VIN and didn't know what to do, so texted the SA. She replied with the local phone number and told us to "press 4 for delivery". We called, but the message said "if you have a VIN, we will contact you for delivery" but we pressed whatever button to talk to...

    How to evaluate a used Y

    In your situation, the best bet might be to try to snag one from inventory. More action towards the end of the quarter, but you could get lucky any day - or set up distill.io to constantly watch their page and alert you when something pops up.

    Impact of 4680 cells?

    Yeah I see your point - it doesn't make sense to have the higher ranges on the "lower end" cars, but if we look at the long range model 3 compared to the model S at the time, it does seem like Tesla offered a little more range to the 3, even at the lower cost. You could totally be right and...

    If you watched the earnings call last night you may be a little bummed. Basically Elon said there are already a ton of orders for solar/powerwall in the queue - he said they are prioritizing batteries and chips for cars ahead of powerwall/solar, so when you see horrible delays in vehicle...

    Impact of 4680 cells?

    Definitely when not if...Elon was saying basically that they can make the batteries, but when you try to make them "at scale" (crank them out at high volume, like they need to) there were problems. These are just engineering problems like "when we make one battery, this works, but when we try to...

    Just to clarify - Elon said that they were missing controllers for seatbelts and airbags. He said it stopped production for 3 days iirc. Elon's whole theme seemed to be two things: 1. Manufacturing Large things (like cars) at a high volume is extremely difficult with around 10,000 parts and...

    Impact of 4680 cells?

    According to today's earnings call - Elon now says the Model Y will come first from Austin. Maybe they have to sort out the 4680s before building a whole new production line?
  19. Dasbooty

    Current Delivery Times

    Yeah I listened to the whole thing and the most telling thing Elon said was that they were "optimistic" about the 4680s being ready, but not certain. It also seemed like he was saying that we might have Austin MYs with structural battery packs without 4680s - did anyone else notice that? Sorry...

    I'm guessing someone who wanted Biodefense mode more than they wanted their passenger lumbar controls. :) Yeah it sucks to see this, but it should make you feel "safer" about your purchase decision - you can always sell it and not lose money (even make money during this chip shortage).

    Model Y motion sickness

    I do have some minor motion sickness issues, too. When my wife and I test drove - we tried the 3 and then the Y back to back (I was a passenger both times) The model 3 was great and a lot bigger than I expected. The thing I noticed about the Y was that after a few minutes, that body roll or...

    The wife saw a truck load of Reds MYs on its way south of LA yesterday. She immediately said "there's my car!" I couldn't stop laughing. Fingers crossed, go team red!

    There are a few youtube videos and posts on TMC about this- apparently the new "no radar" model 3 and Y seem to be having a problem with Sentry mode. It's just a software problem, though, and will certainly be fixed soon. Ryan Shaw mentions this in his latest video as well (posted below).

    Hey there - yes, we all want our cars. This waiting is painful and only made worse by the stupid switching EDD which toys with our emotions and desire to have a car. My EDD has gone from (well, before today) to September and many places in between, just like you and most others. And yes we see...

    It looks like they did another 7am update, which glitched a bunch of us to September (me included). Was July 7-20 since the last September glitch. Was holding steady at June 18/19-30 before that. At this point I am just waiting for that wave of VINs - I ordered 5/15 so I don't feel bad...

    "makes no sense"? exactly! Once you embrace that, you will be at peace with the Tesla ordering and fulfillment process. :) What they are probably referring to is the "glitch" or whatever you call it when Tesla moves seems to move people to EDD=infinity only to issue them a VIN within a couple...

    Just to confirm - while it seems like most people have been getting their EDDs updated at 6am, looks like today it happened at 7am (or close to it). I went from 6/30- 7/20 to "September". While a small part of me is panicking, I choose to believe we are just a few days away from VINs (optimism...

    nope I'm a basic LR red on black - we all keep searching for a pattern here, but I don't think it exists. I think EDD is estimated by some AI that still has needs a lot more data before it becomes dependable (see I'm looking for a common theme too - we can't help but try)

    Update this morning - after holding steady at or near June 19-30 for most of my experience - today just updated to July 7-27. The roller coaster ride continues! Still have my fingers crossed for the end of quarter miracle!

    I have had the same experience - ordered a red MY on 5/15 (Costa Mesa delivery) and dates have been holding very steady (except for the glitches a couple weeks ago) at either June 17-30 or June 19-30. Keeping my fingers crossed for any time this month.

    Retrofitting Passenger Lumbar Support

    I actually reached out to a youtube duo that I follow (Daerik) and asked about this. They do a lot of interesting videos about swapping stuff around (they changed out the center console to update it, for example). In the reply, one of the dudes said they were looking into it, but that it might...

    Just a thought on paint protection

    Probably like most of you, I have gone back and forth in my head debating whether or not to PPF/add ceramic coating. In case it helps anyone, I will tell you where I have finally landed. I decided not to PPF at all (unless Tesla adds some before delivering, which I think is unlikely because I...

    WTB: 18" rims for M3P (will be used for winters)

    I know I saw a video on youtube where someone tried to get some 18s on an 3P - he said it wouldn't fit due to the larger brake calipers on the 3P.

    I am still waiting for mine as well. I have a lot of the same accessories you do. What I would recommend (based only on watching youtube reviews, mind you) was upgraded (brighter LEDs) lighting on the interior.

    For the folks getting home delivery, do you have to "accept delivery" sight unseen (ie sign the paperwork and pay) before they drop off the car?

    No more radar in Model Y/3

    I'm right there with you brother (or sister). Probably going to delay because I don't need a car right away either and while there are always reasons you could delay, there is a lot going on right now that really makes one pause. I would add Matrix headlights to that list also. :) Though with...

    Placed my order for MY on May 15th - after all the website shenanigans I received an EDD of June 19-30. Still not sure what to do about the radar stuff - I am considering placing a hold if we don't have enough info from early beta testers to decide.
