    Don't keep the Tesla app on your phone open.

    I force close mine on my iphone and it works. I rarely open the app anymore.

    Streak Free Windows?

    I've seen several pro detailers swear by using just plain old water and a waffle weave microfiber towel or in this case a "flunkie" which is a synthetic chamois. Here's one video

    Back when I was going through my delivery, I had delivery date scheduled. 2 days before, my financing with Tesla expired. This was after I had completed all pre-delivery tasks (paid down payment, insurance). I was not notified, but happened to check my account as it had become habit from...

    Can’t Decide On A Color

    I love my MSM. I feel it has a very classy look, especially when combined with the induction wheels. It's not flashy at all. I did see a red Model Y at the SC and that color really popped. Pictures do not do it justice. Overall though, I would not change my color.

    PPF/Ceramic Coating and Outdoor Car Cover

    No offense, but it's a car. At some point you are going to have to expose it to the elements. The PPF and ceramic should protect it pretty well. Unless you are parking under a sap dripping tree or one where alot of birds hangout and poop, you should be fine.

    I'd post a pic of mine, but it looks exactly like the one in their ad. They did an awesome job matching the dashboard and adding this just gives, IMHO, the refinement that is missing from the Model Y. Yes it's not real wood and I wish Tesla would put real wood here, but it does look fantastic...

    Model Y "Expected Delivery Date" Craziness

    I got in around page 500. It has grown so stupidly fast! There was one guy (I won't mention names) who had his VIN yanked away twice and was convinced it was because it was end of quarter and they took it so they could get it to someone closer (he's in Florida) to meet the end of quarter crush...

    Model Y "Expected Delivery Date" Craziness

    I was leasing a Tacoma (3 year lease), which came with 3 year/36,000 free included maintenance. They actually tried to sell me an extended maintenance plan...... I was like "Do you actually hear the words coming out of your mouth?" 2-3 months of waiting and having a simple, no pressure...

    Pictures of the mud flaps you installed.

    I don't have a pic of mine at the moment as my Y is in the shop getting tint and PPF but these are the ones I got from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VJDBYFV?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details They do require removing and reinstalling one bolt on the underside. They are very sturdy...

    What’s your color configuration? Take a poll!

    I already added mudflaps. They look like they are factory original and they add just another level of completeness to the vehicle. Mine is at Xpel right now (they are based here in San Antonio!!!) getting tinted and partial front PPF. I'll post pics when I pick it up in a couple of days. It's...

    What’s your color configuration? Take a poll!

    I absolutely love it! It's very "classy and elegant" looking IMHO. Getting window tinting done tomorrow so it should really up the looks. If I were to choose another color, I would choose red. The red looks really gorgeous in person. Pics do not do it justice! However, I still prefer my "grey"...

    Leno was the delivery specialist that helped me. I think his real name is Magda as the texts he sent me had his name as Magda(Leno) but I swear when I talked to him on the phone he said his name was Mike.

    Hopefully you will get your soon. I ordered about a week before you and just picked mine up last Friday. The team at the SA location was awesome!

    It’s been 2 days since I picked my MY. I’m still in awe that I bought a Tesla. I just walk out into my garage and stare at it. Such a great vehicle!

    The people I talked to at that showroom were all awesome! Super helpful when I went to pickup yesterday. Service manager even came over and introduced himself.

    Just saw this on my paperwork and thought it was interesting: "Due to Texas state law, there is not a direct number to any Tesla location in Texas. All calls must be routed thru California" Now it makes sense why anytime I tried calling SC I never got anyone local.

    I haven't done a full "YouTube influencer" walk around with my micrometers yet, but overall it seemed to be in great shape. Seriously though, nothing jumped out at me and I'll check for panel gaps, but at a glance, everything seems in order. Paint looks great! Engine purrs like a kitten. Doors...

    Just got back from picking up my MY! Got the call earlier today that it was ready and even though I had appt to pick it up on Sunday, they asked if I wanted to come pick it up today. Duh!

    Got real fun yesterday afternoon. I checked my account again (just can't help it) and noticed it showed amount due now, with the amount being what my loan amount is. Yesterday was the 60 day mark after getting approved through Tesla so it went away! I was freaked out. Called Tesla and finally...

    My guess is it's the logistics of getting them moved. Trains, trucks, whatever have to be scheduled, loaded, etc. Just my guess.

    It looks like this. When you go to your account, then click the "manage" button under your reservation, it will be on the next screen. After clicking on it, you will be taken to the page for your reservation and info. It will then look like this.

    There's this big old boat that you are in, and it appears that I am in the same exact boat! You would think getting a VIN would end the agony, but it seems to have only made it worse. You would think once you get that magical "blue button" you could move on with your life. But no, there are...

    I was finally contacted by an SA and they needed actual insurance ID card while I had provided proof of insurance document. The ID card actually showed effective date a few months ago as that is when my policy renewed so in the end, it really didn't matter. FYI, SA was very nice on the phone and...

    So after getting my VIN yesterday, finally got text and email notifications this morning. Have to update insurance.

    I had a gut feeling that something was going on as last week kept shifting by 1 day every day (7/27,7/28,7/29) then Sunday it jumped to 8/9. Something just told me that a VIN was coming very soon.
