    Rattling from dash AC fan

    Can confirm, the staticy rattle you hear with the A/C is on 8/9/10 is likely loose stickers. Removed the dash by hand in 1 min (video) and pulled off a whole Tesla sticker collection all of which were loose. Noise is gone.

    Best screen protector kit?

    +1 on the Spigen. Tried a couple cheaper options first, but the Spigen screen is much higher quality and is way easier to install with the large frame.

    Model Y mats

    Exact same mats as LDCRS, Maxpider, TeslaShields, etc. for $140 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08K8YH91Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2X91JRQJZ8SM1GYQWJDA?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

    Car door film - worth it?

    Worth it. There have been a number of posts with pictures of rock chips in that area by the back doors that flares out. Plus, you gotta assume Tesla makes them for a reason.

    Mud flaps & Model Y

    Here are front and rear set that match the OEMs and don’t require messing with that pesky bottom screw for the rear flaps. I installed them a couple months ago and they’ve held up great. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NNQW57B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_4TPDG1TS20C6FCD3NMMC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

    Front License plates

    This is a great, low cost option if you want to mount the front plate low in front of the grill. Doesn’t look as good as having no plate at all, but definitely better than having it higher up in front of the car. No-hole Tesla Model 3 or Model Y Front License Plate | Etsy

    Vendor TeslaShields Update #17

    Supporting start ups/small businesses is great, but sometimes you’re just better off going with the Amazons of the world. Especially for a commodity like simple after market car accessories. Despite a million different brand names/vendors, they’re ultimately a lot of the same products. For these...

    Mud flaps & Model Y

    I installed these flaps today on the front and back. Super easy install. I don’t know if the rear flaps are necessary, but they can’t hurt and make the car look more symmetrical imo. They look identical to the OEM front flaps and seem to be high quality. We’ll see how they hold up over time.

    Got the OEM mud flaps installed….and now

    The front and rear mudflaps are different and can't be interchanged. Here's a set of front and backs that have the OEM mudflap look. You can see the differences between the front and rear. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09NNQW57B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

    Second the recommendation on the Basenor mats. Same product as a few other vendors with the certainty of getting them quickly from Amazon.

    Vendor TeslaShields update #10

    I’m all for supporting small businesses, but the reality is a lot of these accessories, regardless of the brand or vendor, are the exact same products from the same factories. In the case of these floor mats, the Basenor ones on Amazon are the identical product, in stock and easy to return if...

    Model Y 7 seater car seats

    You could get to a kid in a car seat in the 3rd row, but it’ll require a bit of contorting. The 2nd row slides and tilts forward to allow access, but there’s not much room. As others have noted, it might be easier getting them in/out of the 3rd row from the rear hatch. Should also note, there’s...

    Thanks. Let’s see how it holds up over time, but seems to be good quality. I ordered this one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098SX7D9K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_C39HG3SWWBBZRT1TW77P?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

    That’s exactly right. When you get there, park by the showroom if you don’t have the exact stall number yet. They’ll text you the stall number and once by the car, you can then access the car from your phone. If you need any help, just go inside the showroom. If you see any issues upon pickup...

    Nice. What’s going on is their process of giving and then constantly moving specific delivery date ranges is wack. They should just stick to the general month they gave when you ordered and only provide specific date ranges once it’s 100% confirmed. The good news is, August Bay Area orders are...

    I picked up a 2022 MYLR from Fremont yesterday. For me it was a super quick turnaround (1 day) from getting the VIN to picking up the car.

    Pick up at Fremont went smoothly. The people in showroom are friendly and after directing you to your car leave you alone to check everything out. My car looked great overall. One minor scratch on the drivers side door that I’ll have them address. Yours is coming any day now!

    100% BS. I’m headed to Fremont as we speak to pick up a 7 seater. Yours is coming soon. I feel it.

    Don’t think it’s an exact science, but FWIW I got the trade in text last week, 7 days before I got the VIN yesterday. Hope it means you’re close too.

    I’m not sure if holding is possible as I don’t need to do that. After I got my VIN yesterday, a delivery date/time of 12/24 @ noon was automatically assigned to me. This morning they texted and asked if I’d be ready today instead. An hour after I texted back yes, they called and offered noon...

    Tesla just texted and then called to move delivery up to today. They’re definitely pushing hard to get as many cars out as possible before EOQ.

    The time from VIN to delivery could be super short. I just got my VIN yesterday and delivery scheduled for tomorrow. Good luck!

    I chalk it up to coincidence, but what I was told by the Fremont DC last week actually held up. I got a VIN today with a new EDD range of today (I know) through 12/26.

    8/26 order, received VIN today. EDD now 12/22-26. Hopefully a positive sign for NorCal orders!

    Thank you. I won’t be celebrating until I actually get the car. Yours can’t be far behind and we’ll be free of the first phase of the Elon mind control experiment. It’s like we’re playing his version of Squid Games!

    Update - Opened app and saw message that “Tesla is making changes to your account. Please log-in…”. Logged in and accepted Tesla Vision. VIN appeared in account and delivery dates is 12/22-26. Hope this is a sign of things to come for all August orders and Bay Area folks!

    And the roller coaster continues. EDD just changed from 12/23-12/31 to 12/31-1/28. Not surprised given how many other Aug orders had their EDD moved into Jan. Annoying for sure but I keep reminding myself that when I ordered the car, the estimated delivery month was Jan. Going to give the...

    The refresh roulette is exhausting. I wish they would just give us a estimated delivery month and not update it at all until a VIN and delivery date are ready to be assigned. By giving specific date ranges from the jump, it creates a false sense of certainty about when we’ll get our cars.
  41. Wu-Chang Clan

    North California - delivery time

    Not yet. Her message to me was the timing still looks good but the VIN may be assigned as little as 3 days before delivery and they’re expecting to be busy in the next two weeks for EOQ. Fingers crossed for all of us.

    North California - delivery time

    Take it with a massive grain of salt, but I just spoke to someone at the Fremont DC and they said they still expect to deliver a lot of vehicles for end of quarter and customers may get as little as 3 days notice.

    North California - delivery time

    Configuration and dates in profile. EDD has been waffling between 12/22-12/31 and 12/23-12/31 for a month now. Still no VIN, so not holding my breath.

    I hope that’s true about the trade-in text being a precursor to VIN match, but…well, any number of memes come to mind. So you’re telling me there’s a chance, don’t give me hope, it’s the hope that kills you, and so on.

    I like the way you think. Also, you’re probably right re trade-in value. Everyone’s experience is different but in my case Car Max and Shift were the highest offers by far.

    Congrats on the VIN. If you’re concerned about build quality, would def recommend going through a thorough checklist. Also worth doing just in case it was rejected by someone else. There are several checklists available online like this one: https://blog.tesbros.com/tesla-delivery-checklist/

    Also Bay Area. My EDD had a micro-movement from 12/22-12/31 to 12/23-12/31. Last week it did the exact opposite change. Random number generator strikes again.

    Selling to Carvana - our experience

    Oh for sure. But why not take advantage of the car shortage right? Obviously better than turning a leased car back to the dealer and getting nothing. BTW, if you can't sell your leased car directly to a third party dealer, you always have the option of buying it yourself and then re-selling...

    Selling to Carvana - our experience

    Just sold my leased 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee to CarMax yesterday. Fairly quick process and they paid exactly what was quoted online - and was $13K over my buyout price. The list of manufacturer financing companies CarMax can't buy leased cars from is pretty lengthy (see sign posted in CarMax...
