    Virginia Waiting Room

    It's all worth the wait. :) Delivery at Tysons sucks.. Be prepared to get called 'bro' a lot, and hear about how fast the car is.. Hopefully they've improved since I took delivery.

    Nightmare Experience! Only 500 miles driven...

    I don't blame you for being angry and frustrated with Tesla. I think everyone else would be too - especially if their situation and experience mirrored that of your own. On the positive, Tesla drive train problems are easily repaired, and I would give them the opportunity to make it right. If...

    The number of used Tesla 3/Y available is staggering

    Assuming people that have 2021s or early 22s are trying to sell and make some $$ over what they paid. The MYP I ordered in Oct '21 now costs 10K more through Tesla. For about two days I thought about flipping it, but quickly changed my mind. I think a bunch of dealers bought them or took...

    One thing you LOVE and DISLIKE about your Model Y

    Love - no more visits to the gas station; sound system; performance Hate - no blind spot detection/warning on side mirrors; no heads-up display

    Passenger vent blows at odd angle

    Yes, this is pretty much exactly what they did. It works fine now.

    Passenger vent blows at odd angle

    Giving this a bump rather than starting a new thread.. I'm taking my car in for its first repair appointment on Saturday morning. No matter how much I manipulate the on-screen controls for the air vents, I cannot get them to blow air directly at the front passenger seat. In the hot summer, it's...

    It happened- someone tried to steal my car

    In the near-term, I would install a motion activated flood light - or more than one if needed. I have several that surround my pool as a late night teen deterrent. Lighting the area would probably deter all but the most determined criminal, which this person really doesn't seem to be.

    It happened- someone tried to steal my car

    Just having the police introduce themselves might be enough to persuade this person to reconsider any future actions. Do you have space to put your car in the garage if you rearrange some things?

    Hummer EV

    The brakes on my Yukon Denali were also insufficient.. guess that's GMC's thing. Six piston Brembos would solve that issue. Sweet truck though!

    Thoughts on next vehicle...

    I'm 6'2" and find the MY to be very roomy and comfortable. If your kids are just toddlers, they will be fine until they approach teen years, and by then you'll likely be in a new vehicle anyway. I have a 13 y/o daughter that seems to be satisfied with MY rear room (she'd complain if that weren't...

    Friend opening car with no cellphone or wifi covarage

    What will happen to current owners once Tesla drops the price of new Y's?

    I think many people who purchased a Tesla over the last year or so put down plenty of money (53K in my case) and really aren't concerned about a potential downward shift in future pricing (although I highly doubt it). I'll need a car regardless, and it will be paid for in 2.5 years. I pay...

    What will happen to current owners once Tesla drops the price of new Y's?

    Not worried at all really. The MYP I ordered last October now costs nearly 10K more than I paid.

    New horn sound

    Oh, and now those who previously loved Musk will hate him.. but they'll be conflicted because he's largely responsible for the EV boom over the last several years, which will ultimately result in a greener/cleaner Earth. Our country is hilarious, and I think Musk likes tossing rocks in ponds and...

    Are the Model Y/3 Tapped Out?

    I'd prefer efficiency improvements over performance at this point. 3.5 seconds to 60mph is plenty fast for me personally. It's enough to push my guts into my backbone and make my neighbor wives squeal with glee. 😁

    Sensitivity of “auto” wipers

    Seriously?!? How hard can it be? Put a slider bar under the wiper setting to adjust wiper sensitivity that you can either drag with your finger to set desired sensitivity, or the steering wheel controls. This is literally one JIRA sprint worth of work. And that's with a lazy dev or two on the...

    Tesla app glitch?: Model Y order RN number greyed out, confirmed delivery date not showing up and can't accept order agreement/delivery on app.

    An "accept delivery" (or something like that..) button should become available at your arranged delivery time. If not, I'm sure the delivery center will help you take care of it.

    Sensitivity of “auto” wipers

    Just giving this thread a bump as I too think the 'auto' sensitivity of the wipers needs to be customizable - and could be easily. During a very light shower, my car thinks its driving through hurricane Katrina and the wipers are going as fast as possible. Instead, I'm fumbling through the...

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    I'm going off my order and delivery experience, but you're probably looking at a late May delivery window. You'll get the trade-in message, and later the real key is the notification to accept the vision thing-a-ma-bob. Hit accept and you'll have a VIN displayed. My guess...that will happen in a...

    Model Y hit and run while parked - total loss or reparable?

    Who is your insurer? I didn't see that mentioned in the prior posts. Is this your insurance paying for repairs, or the other individual's? As you know, your MY is going to be worth significantly less once repaired - regardless of how well its done - I hope they figure that in as well. If I were...

    Shopping for a new Electric car. Former Eniro / Model 3 owner.

    I picked up my MYP in Dec of last year and was very pleased to not discover any fit and finish issues. Gaps were good, paint was fine, and no interior marks or scratches. I think complainers are much more vocal than praisers. At delivery, I was invited to look the car over very thoroughly and...

    Vendor 🚨BACK IN STOCK🚨 LDCRS Premium 3D (LOGO FREE) All Weather Floor Mats for Tesla Model Y 2024/2023/2022/2021

    I have these - ordered through Amazon before I took delivery in Dec of last year - and they've been great. I recently washed and scrubbed them in the driveway, and they were completely dry after sitting in the sun for 10 mins. It does take a bit of effort to get them fitted again, because they...

    Regen breaking no longer effective

    I have also noticed regen braking to be slightly less 'aggressive', so that I'm using the brake pedal a bit more often. Before, it was almost entirely one-pedal driving.

    Model Y hit and run while parked - total loss or reparable?

    I'd say totaled as well. Looks like there is frame damage - and who knows what else once it's torn down.

    Is now a good time to buy a model Y performance?

    What you should really feel good about is paying $5K more basically the same car you could have ordered six months ago. lol.. :)

    It will - not that it's some huge performance boost or anything.

    Model Y Reservation for Sale

    Won't work.. you're either taking delivery, paying taxes and registration, and then selling - or you're not accepting the car. As others mentioned, that door has been shut.

    Cancelling the resevation

    Agree with others.. Why not let the order sit and process - your $250 is non-refundable and you may decide to proceed with the purchase. If not, just decline the purchase and move on.

    Family of 4 — used MX or new MY

    I'm not sure you can get into a used MX at that price point, unless it's several years old, which would sway me to buy a new MY instead. That said, the MX will certainly have more room, a plusher ride, etc.. I'd drive both and go from there. I shudder to think of infants and toddlers in my MYP. LOL

    Looks good. If your schedule is anything like mine, you'll get a tighter EDD window in middle-late'ish May, and then a VIN a few weeks after...and then a three-day delivery day/time to choose.

    Just sold my Model Y - Parting thoughts

    So I've owned a load of BMWs over the years.. at least 5 of them. But one thing I don't do is troll BMW forums now that I own a Tesla. Why do you? It's a car...no one cares.. it gets you from point A to point B - hopefully in a satisfying manner. I like BMWs... I like Audis better...and Porsches...

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    If your order info is accurate in your signature line, you should get a VIN within the next week or two, depending on if that early May date sticks or not. Regardless, you're going to have a fun summer. Upgrading to an MYP was a wise choice!

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    If you looking for goodies to buy, I recommend some all-weather floor mats for the front and rear seats, and also trunk mat (I bought the carpeted one from Tesla). Mud flaps are a good idea too, and easy to install. Oh, I also added a matte screen protector that I purchased from Amazon.

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    You might not want to unpack it just yet. It seems like many Tesla dealers are putting license plate holders (the chrome model Y ones) on during delivery - at least on the back. I don't think I have a holder (just the bracket) for the front.

    Passenger vent blows at odd angle

    We've recently had some warm weather in Northern VA, and my wife noticed that her dash air vent wasn't blowing from the center portion of the passenger dash. Instead, part seemed to be blowing from just behind the tablet screen, and another part of it was blowing close to the passenger door. I...

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    Buying an MYP over an LR is a no-brainer imo.. It looks better, performs better, and the range is reduced by what..20 miles? That's not real-world driving btw, nor will you likely ever get your battery to where you have 20 miles remaining (or about 8%). Most MYP's are also delivered with...
