Here's my daily situation: In Chicago it's cold AF, my wife however detests getting into a boiling hot tesla that has been "defrost"ing for 30-40 minutes before departure. Car is not plugged in, so can't schedule departure. It's to the point that my wife doesn't care about the logic of...

That is awesome to hear and thanks for the details! I only have 4k miles so far, unfortunately we haven't taken any road trips longer than a few hundred miles from home, but my efficiency appears in line with yours. Thanks!

we're all giving you valid answers, no disrespectfulness, just blunt honesty and you seem to ignore what we're saying or twist it. Tweet @ Elon and hope for a reply if you want to hear it out of the horse's mouth.

my bad, meant to quote carlos danger who brought up the rebate who said he's buying a MS and MY... not bitter, I was happy to get a tax refund on my WC installation, just indifferent and I think with the deficit our state is running the last thing they should be doing is giving out free money...

that's the thing, others who reported the issue said their sentry had the red X, but mine appears to be operating correctly. I keep the icon in my viewable apps to keep an eye on it.

Negative, sentry viewer will not work when I am home and both my phone and car are connected to wifi. i've tried turning on and off sentry, messing with settings and have took out and reseated the USB drive, the only thing I can think of doing are: 1) soft and hard reset of the tesla computer...

Either way, it sounds like your going to drop $170k+ on two luxury cars, is a tax rebate on less than ~10% of that total sum worth it to freak out? I kind of hope they put an income/ price per vehicle cap on this rebate.

knowing through anecdote/ second hand is not the same as knowing to prove it, and either way, tesla is a corporation out to make a profit, if they want to fulfill orders with FSD first, it's their right. to answer your original question and put this thread to bed so I can stop following it...

read the law, there's no other way to know. Either it's limited or not by household and spouses. Either way, Tesla will not change the name on a reservation, your better off placing a new order under your wife's name now.

A few things have come up recently that I believe would require a service appointment but I'm curious if the cost to repair will come out of my pocket or covered under warrnaty? for background, there are Zero modifications to my MY so I'm not concerned about them telling me puddle lights or...

Last year when I was freaking out over my order EDD's getting kicked all over the place I read the contract with fine tooth comb. Essentially you are giving them a fully refundable payment for the opportunity to own one of their cars. Tesla is under no obligation to deliver cars in any...

Austin Tesla Model Y's are different models, they're labeled as "50D"... 279 mile EPA range AWD, so kind of a standard range AWD model. I would talk to a tax pro, if you and your wife have filed taxes together in the past it could be construed as fraud to try to claim the rebate twice, but I...

Assuming you are satisfied with the MY since you ordered another one, but curious about your long term ownership. I've had my MY for 8 months, but that's certainly not 2+ years. Curious how your lifetime effeciency has been, any major repairs, fixes from tesla?

a year ago when i placed my order, that was one of the "pre-delivery tasks". My SA said at the time to just upload any proof of insurance.

Your profile is incomplete... fill out the pre-delivery tasks ASAP in order to make sure you take delivery. for insurance, any current valid insurance works, you don't have to worry about updating. for payment do cash and then when you get a VIN assigned you'll have 2-3 weeks to figure out...

with the deficit that Illinois is running, this $4k rebate is really just a down payment on a future tax hike or additional piece of regulation that will tack on another fee hidden as a tax. Speaking as a disillusioned voter who voted dem for decades. We live in the state of "pay to...

Yes, I am leaning toward that option as well... I need to persuade my wife that the $40k premium for the Plaid is worth it in order to get it sooner and obviously the speed is enticing too. In 8 months I've put less than 4k miles on my MY so it's still pretty new.

@PatrickTM can't believe I still see you here! Hoping your window starts to narrow soon! My wife can't decide between taking my MY and me ordering a MS or ordering a MX for her and I hold onto the MY. Either way we'll soon be back in the waiting game.

Congrats! We might be seeing each other on the road, I'm in Long Grove, and zip down 83 into the BG/ Wheeling area all the time.

OP (or OG? LOL) here... after taking my MYLR in sept I've loved it so much I think our family will add a second one so I may be back on the forums. My wife has been driving the tesla a lot and decided she wants one now too, so we'll be test driving a M3P and MSplaid and deciding if we want...

@PatrickTM I was hoping you would have your MY by now! I haven't been lurking as much lately and just driving my MY, but I can't believe after all this time and wait Tesla is dropping the ball. I read the saga you went through over the weekend, hoping Thursday works out for you!

We're pretty much going the Tesla WC route purely for home value purposes. Look at home listings, when there's a Tesla WC installed in a garage, it's usually one of the first things mentioned at the front of the description in huge letters exclaiming "THIS HOUSE IS TESLA READY"... meanwhile...

When we got our WC installed I asked the electrician about possibly adding a second WC if the wife gets on board the EV wagon. He explained that the WC's have software power sharing for up to 3 WC's on one circuit. Pretty pleased about that as the wife finally wants either a MX or MY so we'll...

just took a drive to see if maybe I can get over some of the shortcomings of the new UI and the blindspot camera is absolutely useless because the resolution/ contrast of the camera or image with the blinker on practically blinds you from seeing anything it's pretty rediculous. Feels like the...

Checking in here... so many new user names... let me reintroduce myself, i am AJS, i spent 3 months waiting for my MY until it arrived in September and I was very pleased with it until the latest UI upgrade that I let it install last night... now I may end up selling it (for quite a profit) if...

I'm generally enjoying the holiday update, but two of my biggest things I can't figure out are the new HVAC controls (auto seat warmers appears grayed out "auto" all the time) More importantly, this morning while driving to my folks house with an expected supercharging stop in the drive, I was...

Got my plates and registration with sticker through 2022 about a month after getting my model Y. Tesla is supposed to handle everything.

yeah, I can't break the habit of reading up on here. I haven't been as active commenting but I still keep up on the commentary and wait times.

I've had my model Y for almost 2 months now and I still find myself wandering over to tesla.com or jumping on these message boards just out of habit.

A lot to read between the lines. Since your EDD is so close I would assume that yes, Tesla decided to be a little more transparent and give a slight indication that "hey, we're working on making a batch in your configuration, keep an eye out"... but it also could be Tesla being more transparent...

Take it, or else you might get stuck in the wait until april/ may. When I placed my order in June, I was hoping for sept/ october delivery. Ended up taking delivery on 9/3. At the time of my order I was expecting to go back into the office around sept/ oct but it has since been pushed all...

i just realized I never updated this thread I started before even ordering! Delivery on 9/3 went smoothly and I have loved having my model Y ever since. Thank you to everyone on the forums here that has helped along and to the forums for letting us vent!

I was worried about paying with their "plaid" service, so I was planning on getting a cashiers check for the balance of the amount owed to tesla at delivery but work got in the way so I gave in and paid with Plaid. As soon as the screen said the payment went through I went into my banking app...

Let me paint a picture for you: MYLR parked in garage, I unplug from the WC and right before we start driving the tesla app shows interior temp 72, exterior 73 before getting in. Actual outside temp was 70 degrees. Wife and I have a 20 minute drive to dinner with friends. Here in the Chicago...

What’s your configuration? Sure your profile is complete? I ordered 6/5 and took delivery 9/5. Something is off.

yeah, I told my local bimmer dealership GM that I've purchased 3 previous Bimmers from before that I am no longer interested in the new design style of their exteriors. I find the grills hideously massive and ugly. I gave him a chance to find me a 2021 X3m or X3 m40i xdrive either with the...

Yeah, i figured that out last night/ this morning. My parents decided to move to BuFu in the middle of nowhere between illinois/ wisconsin (farm country) and I took a trip out to their place last night. This morning I glanced at the front of my MY and it is covered in dead bugs. I'll have to...

Feels like I'm a minority, not planning to do any ceramic/ PPF paint protection to my MY... I've had much more expensive BMW's in the past and while I did experience the usual paint chips, it's all normal in my book especially because this isn't a 6 figure collector car. I don't see a point to...

The biggest thing I want to experience with an EV is subzero temperatures while parked outside. As long as we don't experience range anxiety or battery performance issues while properly preconditioning I think another Tesla will happen.

haha yep as soon as we got our MY home we had to make sure it was Bella approved. She took to the backseat well! One of the things she loved to do in my BMW x3 was lay along our arm rest between the front two seats while road tripping so I had to make sure the arm rest in our next car was as...

now that I have the WC installed in a place accessible to two spots in my garage my home is multi-Tesla ready. Wife has been warming up to driving the MY, if she ever decides she wants it full time, most likely she'd take it and I would either order a MYP or MS/X plaid. Probably going to wait...

can't find any EPA numbers but the claimed numbers by BMW are on the wikipedia: BMW iX - Wikipedia i40 trim: 71 kWh battery with 150kw fast DC charging. 322 hp and 6.1 sec 0-60 i50 trim: 105 kWh battery with 200kw fast DC charging. 523 hp and claimed 4.6 second 0-60 tested by carwow to be...

I think Tesla put some kind of limitation on holds compared to indefinitely placing an on hold it maybe for a 3-6 month period if I remember it being discussed before on here. You may want to ask your SA how long you can place your order on hold for. I refi'd my home mortgage in the middle of...

They had to start street construction (asphalt over concrete) and I don't want to get oil splatter on my new MY so I can't scratch that same itch until they're done! Also feel the same way and that's why I'm sticking around, I love hearing about the VIN success stories and deliveries. This...

Looks like BMW has released a fleet of iX 50i's to journalists for reviews, the reviews are hitting youtube. Most viewed is the carwow review, I typically like the carwow reviews but this one felt sponsored by BMW like they gagged him from negatively reviewing it. All in all, I am happy I...

Got the 2021.32.21 update today. Seems like it packed a number of previous updates into mine. In addition to the immersive sound I got the quick range/ battery percent switcheroo, car wash mode and new games and others updated, as well as Disney+, auto dim side mirrors and a bunch more stuff…...

stick around long enough, you'll realize this is more group therapy and a stream of conciousness we can't share with our s/o's LOL.

just messaged you all the info you need to reach out to smart charge America.

yeah if you visit the smart charge america website their system is clever. When requesting a quote they ask for pictures/ videos of your breaker and garage to try to extrapolate the amount of work and expense of the job. Once you decide their quote is in the "right neighborhood" as far as...

yep, I used smart charge america! more expensive but their work speaks for it's self. Makes owning my MY so much better to be able to charge up quickly compared to using the 110v outlet the first week. They ran 110' of conduit and cable from my breaker to the garage around the finished parts...
