It is a forum. Most people come here to discuss and ask questions. Others provide useful answers. But some prefer to insult folks with "stop being stupid". Not helpful imo....

Thanks, good stuff. I stand corrected. This is good to know since the Overheat protection can really draw the battery down here in Las Vegas. If they add settings later to adjust the temperature that will be a big plus. For now I will stop using it for temps below 100F. Appreciate the link!!!

Please show me in the manual where it explains the purpose of the Overheat protection. If it designed to protect children or dogs left in the car on a hot day then it should be described as such. Until someone can provide some link or explanation coming from Tesla explaining its purpose then it...

OK, interesting! Any references to Tesla or Elon stating that would be appreciated. 105F degrees seems pretty high for child or dog protection if that was the intent. Thanks

The overheat protection was installed for a purpose, that being to protect interior components inside the car from excessive heat and possible long term damage. It was not installed to provide comfort for the driver returning to the car. The most important interior component is the computer as...

Interesting! Here is a quote from Normal CPU Temperature: How Hot Is Too Hot For CPU - CPUTemper "The average Intel & AMD desktop processors should not exceed the safe/normal CPU temperature range of 45-50°C when idle...." That is around 122F

Thanks for that tip, I had tried several times to drag the bottom panel up but the whole screen kept swiping upward. I just now tried again and as long as I do it carefully and slowly it works! That will come in handyt when I forget to reset the overheat when my wife is driving!

Regarding the Cabin Overheat Protection I would suggerst using it The Model Y has a large PC sitting in the interior which can easily exceed 150 degrees on a hot day. Would you turn on your PC at home if it was 150 degrees? The car uses a Heat pump which is so much easier on the battery than...

Good stuff, thanks. My trip up the mountain used around 2% of battery for each 1000' of elevation gain, so 6000' of elevation needed an extra 12% of battery to compensate. Lots of other factors to consider speed and battery % charge, but that is probably the rule of thumb I will use for trips up...

Quick Question: During the above video the Model Y made a beeping noise twice on the way down the mountain. You can hear this at 4:10 in the video. It sounds similar to heavy equipment when backing up. Both times this occured it stopped after around 20 seconds. It has not done it since and no...

My wife and I have been hiking up at Mt Charleston weekly to avoid the heat down in the Vegas valley. The climb is 5700' to the trails above. I was not paying much attention to the battery, but my wife noticed last week that the battery % was actually increasing on the drive back down the...

Really depends on how many miles/day of driving you plan on doing. 80% is fine if you drive a lot each day, but if you only need to drive 100 miles/day or less then it is better to charge to a lower % to reduce stress on the battery. I fly electric RC planes a lot and the batteries last the...

Thanks. Took the vehicle into the local Tesla service center yesterday. They had everything fixed 7 hours later so all is well!

Glad you liked the video. I have an appointment this morning to bring the car down to the service center for repairs. I will post the results afterward.

Took Delivery of my Model Y on Monday. I recorded the inspection with Video to document any issues found. Then took pictures to send to Tesla for repairs. Despite the faults found it was nothing too extreme and overall the car is fantastic!

Just a little follow up. Only had the car 2 days but so far it has exceeded my expectations. It handles far better than any other car I have had. The low center of gravity means the car does not lean much on tight turns and the acceleration is totally locked in to the pedal, no delay or lag like...

Yep, got mine too at same time. Found 4 minor issues, nothing too serious. It was in mid 90's so nice to be able to have my wife sit inside cooled car while I did the inspection! Excess gaps on hood and trunk, one scratch on window trim and 2 missing bolts under rear bottom covers below trunk...

Sorry to see you had a accident. We had something minor like that on my wifes Toyota camwry and it took 3 weeks to fix because it needed a new fender. My van was struck from a passing vehicle last summer, slightly more damage than that but repairs took 2 months. Pretty sure you will need a new...

Cool, see ya there. My trip was good till I coughed and they had me tested positive for Covid, then 10 days of lockdown! I'd still be there if I had not tested negative for the trip home. Got back yesterday. My App still shows Final payment is needed so called them and again they said all is...

Looks like I will be able to catch my flight back to the US tonight and make it back in time to pick up my Model Y on Monday at 11:00am. My son dropped off the Cashiers check 3 weeks ago at the Tesla Dealership. My Tesla App still says "Please pay off your remaining balance prior to...

Glad to see others getting their cars. I'm still in Tunisia and had set up home delivery for the 9th. My son had dropped off on the check and It was processed. Keep in mind the Home delivery idea was Tesla's, not mine. Then on the 7th I got a message stating that they would not be able to home...

Finally got a call back from Tesla, looks like they can do the Home delivery afterall on Monday 5/9. Things are finally coming together! It will sit in my driveway for a week but at least I'll have it

Hope so. Mine is 438xxx. I brought the Cachiers check to them (East Sahara) before we left, but they refused to accept it even though they had agreed to do so over the phone before I went down there. The guy I had spoken to on phone was not there and the guy I tried to leave the check with said...

Got a VIN as expected today. EDD moved up to 5/6 to 5/9. I don't return home until 5/14. Not gonna work! Called Tesla dealer to see if I can get home delivery and return signed paperwork when I return, or delay my delivery until 5/15 and I can pick it up then. As expected this decision was above...

Question: My EDD is 5/2 to 5/15. Based on what is happening to others I expect a VIN in next 3 days. We are still out of the country with spotty Wi-Fi nd will not return home until 5/14. What is the process after VIN shows up on the APP? Does Tesla send a Text messager or call you directly? We...

Bumped up closer again today. Ordered 9/27/21. EDD was 5/14 to 6/11. Now it is 5/2 to 5/15. What a crazy ride! Of course we are still in North Africa and will not return home until 5/14. Gonna be close. I kinda expect a VIN early next week from what I am seeing from others on here. Then gotta...

My EDD just moved forward a bit, now it is 5/14 - 6/11. In Africa now and return home on 5/14, just hope VIN does not arrive earlier. Pretty sure your date will move forward a bunch also.

I am currently in Africa for 3 more weeks and had planned to have home delivery since my EDD was within my vacation. I was told I could bring a cashiers check before leaving to the Tela dealership here in Vegas which I attempted to do. They refused to accept the check or even hold onto it and...

Misery loves company! Looks like we all got another 30 days to spend together at the very least.....Gotta be a positive side to all of this

Thanks, I probably should not complain, Tesla has been good overall since I originally ordered. I placed the hold early spring 2020 because I was concerned about build quality with all the craziness of covid. Probably a good call. Then got a message from them around mid 2021 stating I had to...

Yes, as I was instructed by the Tesla sales guy over the phone. He said I could pay with the APP from anywhere that had wifi (but we wont have it in the Sahara desert), or bring a cashiers check down to the dealership before we leave which they would hold till our car arrived and then they would...

So my wife and I drove down to Tesla this morning to drop off the cashiers check for the Model Y just in case it arrives while we are in Tunisia thru 5/14. The lady said they dont accept checks till customer picks up the car. I mentioned the home delivery the guy on the phone said and that he...

Yep! Just as I thought my EDD bumped back from 4/17- 5/1 and is now 5/19- 6/23. That is the beauty of this forum and thread is that by watching what is happeneing to everyone else you get a pretty good idea about what will happen to yourself. Date Ordered: 1/30/2020. Model Y LR white, with...

Just checked and no change so far! But I fully expect to get bumped back tommorrow, seems like everyone is getting bumped by 2nd day of their 14 day EDD window. I'm ok with it if it is just 30 days since we return home May 14th. I just have the standard Model MYLR with Gemini wheels but I did...

I have exact same EDD! Called local Tesla dealer yesterday to arrange home delivery because we leave for Tunisia on Thursday for 3 weeks. Was told to expect VIN in next few days, even said there was a chance of delivery before we leave. I'm bringing a cashiers check to them on Monday so they can...

So I'm expecting a VIN any day now and decided to check the survey tracker sheet to see how often VIN #'s are assigned on the weekend. Kinda surprised to see its about as rare as hens teeth! Almost always assigned Monday thru Friday. Just passing this on for those expecting their VIN's soon

My order date was 9/27/21 MYLR. My Estimated Delivery just changed to: April 17 - May 01. It was previously April 26-May 24. I think this is finally getting real now! I am going on vacation (Tunisia) April 21 for 3 weeks, but previously called Tesla and they stated they can do a home delivery...

So the new MIT Austin standard range will be priced at $59,990 and be up on the site in the coming weeks, maybe days. 50 miles less range but 3K less in price than Freemont. Gotta wonder if Tesla will offer a $3k discount to those already on the waiting list if they agree to switch to an Austin...

Ah cool, I was hoping it was an actual count and not a calculation. Thanks.

How do we know that the new MIT Model Y has 828 cells? I am seeing reference to this in many posts but dont recall that being stated by Tesla. Was someone able to actually count all 828 cells? Or is this just a guess? Seriously, not trying to be difficult but wondering where this number came from?

OD: 9/27/21. Just got my 11th EDD change, moved forward 2 months after just moving back 2 months, really crazy. Now Estimated Delivery: April 28 - May 26. Problem is I'll be out of the country 4/22 to 5/14. So unless I get lucky I'll be gone. I can have my son pick it up if it looks like it...

Yeah, WTF??? I am out here in Vegas too, ordered 9/27/2021. Basic MYLR white, no FSD. Paying cash, no trade in. Just got my 10th EDD, went from 4/14-5/12 out to current 6/13-7/25. I am getting pushed further and further out over time the last few months. Folks are upgrading so that must have a...

Yeah, I ordered January 2020, then put it on hold till September 2021, so I will pay $14,000 less than the current price!

No. Standard MYLR with white/black interior

Im in Vegas and ordered 9/27/21 just 1 day before you. I have exact same number of EDD's as you and all very similar within a week or so. I have the same EDD as you 4/14 to 5/12 at this time. Must be some sort of algorithm that makes these EDD's geographically and sends out these EDD notices...

9th EDD change this morning. Was late March. Now Estimated Delivery: April 14 - May 12 Unfortunately we will be on vacation for a full month on April 22. Not sure if I can give Tesla a window where I cannot accept delivery? Not even sure who to call if possible. I ordered back in 2020 and had it...

Thats crazy! Im in vegas too, ordered 9/27/21 with EDD 3/18-3/31. Surprised to see you pushed back that far when you were in your EDD window

Ordered 9/27/21 Model Y LR no FSD Got my 8th EDD update today. EDD moved from 2/26-3/26 and is now 3/18-3/31, my first 2 week window. Gotta wonder if Bots are making these EDD changes since mine occured sometime after 10pm Sunday night and 5am this morning. Cant be anyone working that late at...

I'm in Las Vegas too, ordered 9/27/21 MYLR White/Black 5 seater, no FSD or tow. My EDD has been Feb 26 - Mar 26 for last 4 weeks with no change. I'll be following ya, good luck
