    March 2022 - Tesla Model Y Increases price by $1,000

    Both of those are designed for cost savings to tesla.

    Model Y heat pump issues

    They wouldn’t pay for your electricity charging at home if they loaned out an EV. Supercharging? Sure, but they own all that. And you could have driven on a road trip or some long distances - on their dime. Or have rung up the bill in some other way. So, I would not expect them to pay for gas...

    Service Part Order Status

    Sounds like the DC is back ordered. Could be days, weeks, or months. No way to really know. Loads of parts are back ordered across the entire automotive/transportation industry.

    Could Tesla crash fatality be due to "sudden braking"?

    Click bait and generating manufactured outrage.

    Any reason to choose NEMA 14-30 over NEMA 10-30. or vice-versa?

    Meh. You can always tell them “No”, or that you will disable the outlet. Usually that will quiet the buyer. Buyers have almost no power to make any demands in the current seller’s market.

    Could Tesla crash fatality be due to "sudden braking"?

    If it was phantom braking, drivers can interrupt braking and prevent complete stops by putting their foot on the accelerator. You should always be in control of your vehicle and be ready to intervene in the event it does not behave correctly. That’s part of driving responsibly. It is likely a...

    August Order Estimate Delivery

    I had to send the funding request three separate times before it was completed - a week after pick up. Once to the support email they gave me for my service center, and twice to the advisor who conducted the delivery. I had to call customer support after the third attempt to have them prompt...

    August Order Estimate Delivery

    Selecting cash/loan/lease or finalizing trade-in vs leaving it blank for a month/indeterminant period of time is different than deciding when to submit a final payment for purchase. Being a 7 seater, it isn’t too unbelievable to assume there is a production delay, as you are not the only 7...

    You should notice my already revised post, as I realized you already had your car - even though you didn’t clarify. I changed the pronouns to accurately reflect the position, without any personal bias towards yourself. Edit: you haven’t gotten your vehicle yet. Posting on mobile and can’t see...

    August Order Estimate Delivery

    If I am wrong…then why don’t they have their cars? I get the frustration. But your having said that I’m wrong doesn’t actually make anything I said incorrect. You/they want to be mad at Tesla, fair. But they also should be upset with themselves for not ensuring they had taken every necessary...

    August Order Estimate Delivery

    I did not read this forum when I placed my order. I called and asked customer support while I was ordering. I wanted to know how to set up my profile since I knew the timeframe for delivery was far longer than any credit apps are open for. So I didn’t think I should set it for financing as I...

    August Order Estimate Delivery

    Not irrelevant as it illustrates the sheer volume of orders that are being fulfilled. Couple the order books with supply chain issues like shortages across multiple key categories (rubber, silicon, transportation, etc…) and you have a recipe for slow fulfillment. Logistics will seek the most...

    What was described is a fairly normal incentive structure for bonuses. Not a true commission, just an incentive/bonus to help close sales with prospective customers. A “WIIFM”, super common in sales jobs.

    August Order Estimate Delivery

    If I were to order the same spec vehicle as I own, today…I would be have an anticipated delivery of Dec 2022. That’s 11 months for new orders. Order dates (profile completion) are kept generally chronological as permitted by logistics. It sounds like your profile completion date was long after...

    Probably on their way to CA for crash testing and other forms of car torture, then scrapped. Nothing is going to happen before they complete full testing and certification.

    Reports of upcoming V11 fixes?

    When a passenger taps the temperature display, do they also block the rear and side view mirrors, or prevent you from looking over your shoulder before you change lanes? You are in control of the vehicle and responsible for checking those things, and not relying on a camera or visualization of...

    v11 software

    Homelink appears on the screen when you are within the geofence for your house/defined area. It just pops up. You can access Homelink settings from the house icon at the top of your main car settings page, next to the other icons there like wifi.

    Texan Residents can’t get 4680s?

    If? My money says Model Y does not get 4680 packs in to regular production for a year or longer. I know Musk said otherwise, but he's been known to oversell their projections often. Tesla Semi is going to hoover up every single one of those packs to fill big money commercial orders, before...

    Texan Residents can’t get 4680s?

    Zero Model Y's have 4680 cell batteries. Zero customer deliveries from Giga Texas have taken place, to anywhere.

    Intel chip time again...

    In the case of the MCU, yes. The new Ryzen chipset is more powerful than the older Atom. However I replied to the poster who was speaking about amd and Intel over the last decade, which is not the same comparison.

    Intel chip time again...

    This is just not true. From a performance standpoint, Intel is trouncing AMD chips. AMD has a power consumption to performance advantage. But in terms of raw performance/power, Intel has AMD beaten handily. Look at the Intel alder lake chip vs amd ryzen 5000 series. In fact, AMD has been...

    Fremont 4680 indicators

    Structural packs in Berlin use 2170 cells for model y. It’s already a thing. Model y is not getting 4680 packs for a long time. For the reasons I already stated.

    Fremont 4680 indicators

    4680 is going to Tesla semi and cybertruck. Model y doesn’t require the pack to produce. So, until there is no supply constraints, all 4680s go to the semi and then cybertruck. Tesla wants to sell semi trucks. Those orders are worth a lot more than individual model y orders. Model y will not...

    2018 Intel atom processor vs 2021-ish amd ryzen. Amd ryzen is a much more powerful cpu package than the several years older intel atom cpus in previous MCU versions.

    Is there any efficient method of getting to a P model?

    It’s a rollout start for 3.5s, where boosted long range is a fully stopped 4.2s. I’m pretty sure it’s actually like 3.7s without the rollout. Still faster, but it’s not a 3.5s car. Both have plenty of giddy up.

    Model Y very poor range/efficiency

    You can turn them on using the car's screen. You tap the climate control button and there's the front two seat warmers on that page. Tap Rear and you have the rear settings including the seat warmers. No sense crying about UI changes, because you either have to adapt or sell the car. Tesla will...

    Replacing 50 amp breaker with 60 amp?

    NEC isn't just "rules on the internet". Every single requirement is there because of real life consequence.

    Replacing 50 amp breaker with 60 amp?

    It’s not standard…so we should ignore the 80% continuous duty rating and exceed it purposely for extended periods of time, often? No. Do not do this.

    Replacing 50 amp breaker with 60 amp?

    Fairly sure it’s rated to 55amps. So, no. You should not swap the breaker to 60 amps.

    Dang, I don't know which is worse...trying to buy a PS5 or Homelink

    I was able to get a ps5 after registering for their direct buy lottery. Took two months or so for them to draw my name. You also have to be opted in to receive PlayStation emails, as they contact you by email to arrange your buy-time. Link here: Register to buy direct from PlayStation | PS5...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Used to manage a bank. Sometimes it takes a few days to get cash together. Sometimes you write a loan to cover the gap in time and then pay it off. Minimal cost - doesn’t hang up the schedule or create a conflict. I wrote several loans for similar reasons, for customers. Sometimes they wanted to...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Having waited 160 days from my order date (August) until delivery (end of January) they need to take a step back and chill out. It will come when it comes. There is no sense in getting worked up about all the delivery estimate changes in the interim.

    Any Model Y with new projector headlights in the USA?

    I came from an 11 year old Nissan. The headlights in my Y LR are a massive improvement. They are BRIGHT at night compared to my previous vehicle. At this point I don’t think I would need an improved/brighter light. I’m sure the standard LED lights are expensive enough to replace as it is.

    Trade In Offer

    When I placed my order, I initially had my trade in set up. I cancelled/decline trade because of the long wait. I figured that I could always add the trade again once I got my VIN assigned a few months later. I was correct. When you have your vin, call support and tell them you have a trade in...

    Mine came with v11, yesterday. I don’t have any issues with the GUI. I guess maybe because I just don’t know anything different. I did need to take some time to get acquainted with where the settings all are. But usability is completely fine for me. Also, for those keeping score: Ryzen chip...

    Pick-up is tomorrow morning. But curiosity got the better of me today. I called to find out my vehicle birthdate. It was made on 1/23, and will have the AMD infotainment chip, confirmed by the phone agent. Curious if it will have dual pane rear windows - will find out tomorrow. Stoked!

    Bummer. Tesla called me this morning to confirm my appt on Friday. Paid my down payment this evening, in anticipation. I haven’t inquired about the infotainment chip. Crossing my fingers for amd.
