    The number of used Tesla 3/Y available is staggering

    Lease residuals are probably your best bet and it’s about 53% on IX if I recall correctly or slightly worse than x5. I recall i3 didn’t hold value well. FYI carmax came back with an offer on Tesla MYP which was $44k vs Carvana at $49k and Honda dealership at $58k.

    The number of used Tesla 3/Y available is staggering

    This was my own personal experience but in my seven months of ownership I had four service experiences and only one was mobile. First was fixing some headlight alignment issues. No biggie but had to book a month out upon delivery of vehicle. Next two were related to front passenger seat...

    The number of used Tesla 3/Y available is staggering

    Yeah not sure if it was all the glass. The double pane window kept noise out but when the kids would slam door or even when talking in the car, there was a weird acoustic situation in the car that I didn’t love. Also the whine of the motors was tolerable but would love if it was somehow...

    The number of used Tesla 3/Y available is staggering

    Yeah I’m mixed on rivian. No way I’d pay the updated price for my configuration at $96 (I’m at $80). I have not seen interior in person but from what I can online it seems comparable to model x, below IX (if fully optioned with the high end leather). I think the functionality looks amazing...

    The number of used Tesla 3/Y available is staggering

    Just an update. So went to Honda dealership and they did appraisal and were upfront that they know these model y’s sit and so would only offer what they think they can make a profit on at auction. But they also didn’t want to hose me so said they would offer $58k. Hopefully they don’t screw...

    The number of used Tesla 3/Y available is staggering

    Im not under water in any scenarios on MYP but if I looked at monthly cost of ownership it would look pretty horrible if I sold to CVNA. If I could get closer to $59k it would feel more like a month to mount) lease program. The goal for IX would be to keep it for five years minimum.

    The number of used Tesla 3/Y available is staggering

    I think dealers are being extra cautious and I'm paying for their overbidding mistakes. As for the IX I had no illusions that it would hold its value. It isn;t perfect but was one that meets my requirements and planned to run into the ground. I stil have an R1S on order that I haven;t...

    The number of used Tesla 3/Y available is staggering

    So its a 2022 MYP with 8,460. No modifications other than PPF on front of hood through A pillar and some PPF on rear doors. Perfect condition. No scratches. Never smoked in. No accidents. No check engine lights. Garaged the entire time of ownership. Only used hand carwash. Using KBB (I...

    The number of used Tesla 3/Y available is staggering

    Well it looks like I hosed myself. I have a new car ready for delivery this weekend and was going to sell my 2022 MYP w/ 8000 miles. The offers from Carvana, Vroom, Driveway were all awful vs. just a month ago. The Cargurus offer was about $5k over the Carvana offer but still really low...

    Tail Lights Not Working - Any Solutions?

    Was hoping there was a diy method or something. Initially Tesla app said a three week wait for service which basically means I’m taking a major risk every time I drive the car (which is primarily early morning or at night). After complaining on the app about this and how I have no other means...

    Tail Lights Not Working - Any Solutions?

    Nah. BMW IX already in transit but three months later than expected. Would like this fixed before I sell it (unfortunately prices have been dropping vs peak opportunity during the summer). Panel gaps and falling off spoilers don’t super bother me. The seat sensors (safety), the tail lights...

    Yes, I fooled around with the lights. When set to manually on, it was still off. I was hoping turning it off and on again would reset the situation but did not.

    Tail Lights Not Working - Any Solutions?

    Driving home from work tonight I got several high beams from behind me on the highway. Then while in traffic, someone rolled their window down and started yelling that my lights are off. I turned of the vehicle when I got home and when turning it back on, it still doesn’t work. I rebooted...

    One thing you LOVE and DISLIKE about your Model Y

    Like: one pedal driving. Dislike: built like crap that requires servicing and complete inability to get service without waiting a month even when they are safety issues. I cannot wait until I get out of this vehicle and into something else.

    Opinions about purchase

    One of the most annoying parts of my MYP ownership has been the time to get a service appointment. Had some fit issues and had to wait two weeks for a service. Fine, no biggie. One month into ownership, i get the passenger seat restraint sensor issue. I had to wait one month for a service...

    First time Car buyer

    I live in north jersey (Bergen county). There is a service center near by which can be useful. There are also several superchargers within 15-20 minutes of me. I’ve been driving about 50 miles a day 3x a week and this has been a great commuter car. However, I own a house and installed a...

    Horrible 2022 Model Y Tesla Experience

    Well there is a car shortage out there…so it isn’t exactly easy to just get out of your car…heck even get a tesla. For a commuter car that goes fast in a straight line, its fitting the bill for me for now. There are definitely innovations I like that the others aren’t doing. But now that the...

    Horrible 2022 Model Y Tesla Experience

    First impressions matter. My experience has generally been fine but nothing exceptional. Service is below my expectations having only owned Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes before that. Basically how I feel about my entire ownership is that its an average vehicle that goes in a straight line fast...

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

    There is something off with the Y when it comes to tight spots. I dunno how to describe it. The parking garage I park in the city requires multiple turns To get in with the Y while I never had that problem with my C43. Even pullling into my garage which requires a 90 degree turn from the...

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

    BTW I keep sounding overly negative here. I think the MYP is a great car in many respects. A few changes would make it perfect for my needs. The acceleration is fantastic although I would say it’s slightly less impressive above 70mph (I mean its still very capable of passing but doesn’t blow...

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

    X5 prioritized rear cargo space over 2nd row cargo. My kids are 10 and 6 so this isn’t a problem whatsoever. If my kids were 6” feet tall maybe I would think otherwise. But its also about the same 2nd row space as a Cayenne which is in the same category. The GLE or a Range Rover do have...

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

    X5 M50I does not come with air suspension. It is steel springs. But it does have some ability to adjust. And if I were to compare the X5 m50 to the MX, fully maxed out with a nicer interior it is about $30K cheaper and nicer on the inside. An x5 base (40i) can also be in the same price range...

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

    My last two cars were an AMG (lite) and X5 M50I with the dynamic sport chassis option. Prefer stiff suspensions. I don’t want body roll. It’s not at fast speeds that the MYP lets me down. It’s how crappy the suspension is when you hit a pothole at literally <10 mph in traffic and just feel...

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

    Yeah, i too am a bit surprised but its perhaps because most of the roads near me are in fairly good condition so maybe that’s why she doesn’t notice it. However, I’ve hit a few potholes near NYC that even at slow speeds you just feel up your spine. My vehicles have historically had a stiffer...

    Tow hitch bike rack for model y

    Man I’m super annoyed I didn’nt know about this when I spec’ed my Model Y (have had it for two months now but haven’t used my bike rack). I have a 1up Equip D bike rack which is amazing along w/ 2 more additional racks to get to a 4 bike capacity. When fully equipped I’d be at 100ish lbs...

    Phantom Braking - Fixed.

    In the last few updates my car now goes crazy with alerts every time I pull out of my driveway front first. On a minor hill and I assume it thinks I’m crashing. The only way to get it not to beep is if I drive maybe 3 mph.

    Does Tesla Service Center offer curb rash fixes?

    BMW to Tesla 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I don’t know, you should probably see the IX50 in person. At least in the US, there is a demo that has gone to most large dealerships. It doesn’t look bad in person. I think you should need to get used to it. I know people hated the grill on the M3/M4 and just wanted it to look like the 3...

    Airport parking ! Now I’m worried.

    This was a huge turnoff for me when I first test drove it as well but ultimately took delivery of a MYP. 2 months into ownership and it doesn’t bother me anymore. I think I read somewhere that you have to adjust your seats differently than you would with a BMW. On a BMW I go to the lowest...

    BMW to Tesla 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Have an X5 M50I and took delivery of a MYP in Feb that replaced an older X5. Only options for me were factory install of tow, PPF on front hood through A pillars and on the rear passenger doors because of rock chips on highways and then i matched the front into tints to the rear. Other than...

    2022 MYP vs MYLR?

    I bought the MYP to get it faster than the LR but test drove the LR 2x before accepting delivery. I was bracing for the worst when it comes to suspension of the 21” and honestly, its not that much worse than the LR. To me they are both pretty unrefined and awful on bad roads. I’ve gotten used...

    MYP Range question

    Only put about 1000 miles and it was during the month of February. I’ve never gotten the charge below 40% so not sure what to expect. I charge to 80% which puts the range at 241 miles. Based on my driving where I don’t try to conform to what is more efficient (I drive the speeds I want to...

    Dilution of Performance Model?

    Yeah, I never considered any Tesla “special” particularly the Y. They are pretty ubiquitous around where I live. They are basically the BMW 3 series of 15 years ago to me. As my company has us going back to the office and with fewer mass transit options, I purchased a MYP and did it for the...

    Does Tesla Service Center offer curb rash fixes?

    I’m located in the Northern NJ area close to NYC. For reference here is the wheel. I’ve accidentally curbed wheels on my prior cars (1x each) but both times it was during parallel parking at slow speeds. This was an odd one as I was going 15 mph around a bend to the right in a mall parking...

    Does Tesla Service Center offer curb rash fixes?

    Sadly curbed my rear passenger wheel while moving through a parking lot (odd how I’ve never done that with much larger vehicles). Looks pretty gnarly and goes around half of the rim on my 21” uberturbine wheels. Ironically, I already have an appointment for the Tesla on 4/1 to deal with the...

    2 Month Tesla Owner - Fed up and Done

    In 2016 I bought a Mercedes C class. I had panel gaps. The taillights stuck out (one more than the other). And within one week the seats started leaking a chemical when the temperature fell below 20 degrees (because I cheaped out and bought MB's version of "Vegan Leather). Total mileage =...

    Suitability of Model Y for the daily grind of NYC commuting?
