    Sorry - Forgot to update the post. Car is sold.

    2022 Model Y Performance - 791 miles

    The MYP is an amazing car, but a truck is more appropriate for my needs... I have a Rivian R1T on order.

    New Basenor Mudflaps for Model Y

    Brand new in box. Bought them but ended up installing the Tesla flaps. $25 shipped. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08VHQSXD1/

    Anyone switching to a Rivian R1T after watching reviews?

    I think a small trailer would be awesome to pair with the Model Y for those Home Depot/Lowes runs. That's still in the back of my mind. I have a long time to wait for that R1T regardless, so the MYP will be it for the next year at least.

    Anyone switching to a Rivian R1T after watching reviews?

    I'm the opposite. Had a Chevy Colorado ZR2, sold it to buy a MYP, and now am waiting for the R1T to go back to a truck. I love the efficiency and the SC network, but the MYP is delicate and I find I'm hesitant to do the things that I was used to doing with the truck like driving dirt roads to...

    All weather protection kit

    Man, I just picked up a new MYP last week in the rocky mountains without flaps or PPF. I could use some discount action to counter my utter confusion of why in a place that has snow and slop on the roads 6 months of the year that the car didn't come with these items pre applied. Finger's X'ed...

    Phantom braking in my new Model Y

    I just picked up my MYP on Tuesday 03/01, and drove it 400 miles from SLC to Bozeman, MT. For perspective, my wife has a 2019 Model 3 and I have driven that car a lot using both TACC and autopilot, so I have a good basis for what to expect from both of these systems. I drove manually through...

    Bummer. If you can see it with your eyes, they should be able to as well and fix it before you pick it up. Tesla needs to elevate their game. Off-center steering wheels and dented fenders don't belong on new $70k cars.

    Welp - After declining 1 VIN, and received a damaged VIN in early December, I finally have my car. A few observations: 1) I really get the feeling that whomever prepares these cars for delivery really doesn't care. There were stickers left on the roof glass, misc junk on the floor, chip in the...

    Not in Salt Lake City, Utah either.. which makes absolutely no sense considering how much snow and sand is on the roads. Flying down on Tuesday with flaps and temporary PPF so I can drive it 400 miles home.

    I've got the same Rivian plans... and went through the same dilemma of what to accept for MCU given my horizon and long-term plans.

    Why didn't the car go into Park Automatically here?

    Good point. It's a puzzling outcome for sure, but also a solid reminder that we should never blindly trust technology with our safety or the safety of others... there's always some fringe case just waiting to be revealed.

    Why didn't the car go into Park Automatically here?

    Dude - Glad you're okay, but would we be having this same conversation if you had stepped out of your fuel-powered car with the shifter still in drive?? Wondering why the car moved forward after you stepped out? Tesla will cover your butt in many circumstances, but it will never overcome basic...

    Model Y suspension plate

    An insurance agent, a tow truck driver, or an auto mechanic are not qualified to opine on failure analysis. Their opinion is useless and undermines your case if you use them as credible opinions. When a plane crashes, they don't dispatch the repair crew or insurance agent to investigate - they...

    Blue MYP With Aftermarket Wheels

    I got Replika R241's in 19" for snow tires. Don't have the car yet, so no photos.. and by the time I get it (03/01) it'll be close enough to spring that I'll likely leave them off until the fall. Here's a screen shot of another blue MY that has them on there.

    3D Printed Rigid Hatch Stops (to reduce uneven road noise)

    Great idea. I'm picking up my car on 03/01. I'll design up a full threaded version of this so that you can replace the entire bumper (Product design is my business). I'll also see if there's a way to make the length adjustable as well so that you can "tune" the contact point. Part of me hopes...

    Bad tint job? Need advice

    It seems pretty clear that they cut the tint pattern on the glass, and cut with enough pressure to scratch the glass. Bad form, and they're responsible to fix it. I too would share your concerns of them doing more work on the car, but if they're established like you say it could just be that the...

    Chasing tech is one thing, and we all need to be aware of the dysfunctional pull of FOMO.. But this one is different. The main problem is that Tesla pulled this Ryzen/Intel bait and switch out of the blue, didn't provide a reason why (supply, problems w/ AMD, range hit, etc.), and doesn't...

    Same. When I started this whole journey, MYP's had summer tires, no Ryzen, Lithium, etc... worth the wait for those things, so hoping Intel doesn't find it's way back onto my VIN!

    I feel slightly punished. And since I tried to take delivery of the car (it arrived damaged), they already have my payment too. Hence no real motivation on thier side to get me a car. They just added me to the last quarter's profit report.

    I've been through the whole process. When you release a VIN, they will typically put your account on hold for 3-5 days to let the VIN flush from the system. I tried to rush the process to get back in the queue quicker, and after a day I got matched to my same old VIN again. After that I was...

    My wife has a M3 and didn't have PPF on the front. After over a year of driving, the bumper has a fair number of pits and chips. I think at a minimum, PPF on the front bumper is a good move if you live in an area with winter conditions or sand on the road. I ordered pre-cut PPF from NorthTints...

    Hard to say. Often you'll hit the beginning date of your EDD only to have it push out a little further. Happened to me several times. In general once your EDD starts to narrow - moving from a month range to a few weeks - then you can expect a VIN pretty soon.
