Have you tried changing the Cabin Overheat Protection to fan only (no AC)? This might help.

They did and I have it selected. Font on warning messages is still WAY too small.

If you get wheel covers, make sure they cover the entire rim. That’s the problem with the ones that come with the car, they are about 1/4” short of the rim edge and you will get curb rash. I bought Rimetrix. They’re not cheap, but work great. Curb rash is on the cover rather than the rim.

This is the first EV I’ve ever owned and I thought I’d post this review aimed primarily at those who are considering buying a Model Y. I could drone on with more detail, but these are the things that are important to me. Obviously, this is just one person’s opinion based on their own...

To each his own, but in my experience the FSD subscription is not worth the $199/mo. I got it for 2 months (for 2 road trips last May and June) but did not renew it for a 700 mile trip I took last week. If you use Autopilot’s Autosteer, the car will hold its lane and adjust its speed to slower...

From Tesla support: ”For each route where Navigate on Autopilot is available, you will have the option to activate it by pressing the NAVIGATE ON AUTOPILOT button located in your Navigation Turn List.”. I also just purchased an FSD subscription yesterday for an upcoming trip. Haven’t had a...

This is just a suggestion, but if I were you I’d tell the SA to set the acceleration mode to Chill, the steering mode to Comfort, and the stopping mode to Creep. These settings most closely resemble an ICE car with an automatic transmission. Once you get used to the regenerative braking, you...

Here’s the checklist I used. https://blog.tesbros.com/tesla-delivery-checklist/

Here’s what they say on their website. Gain isn’t very much. https://i0.wp.com/rimetrix.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Laminar-Efficiency-Tests-02.png?resize=1536%2C1200&ssl=1

Yeah, to me they look MUCH better than the covers, but they say range is reduced by about 5-10% due to aerodynamics.

The more I drive this car, the more I absolutely LOVE it. CR says it’s a stiff ride, but I don’t see that at all. User interface has changed since I rented last fall and it’s better, more intuitive. If you’ve not driven one, get used to one pedal driving. With ICE cars, I was a “coaster.”...

Hope your delivery goes as well as mine did.

FINALLY!!!! 222 days from OD to DD. Car was immaculate. One small smudge on driver’s door. Guy said they arrive with a protective plastic film they remove and it sometimes leaves a little adhesive residue. He removed it with a spray bottle of some kind of solution . Didn’t ask what it was...

Sounds like BS to me. I went to DC twice inquiring about where the car was. First time they told me it was sitting in a rail yard in Richmond CA, second time they told me it was sitting at rail head in Birmingham AL. I believe they CAN locate your car. My guess is that the car has an IP...

Happy for you!👍

Stopped by DC today. Guy looked up my car and said it was at rail head in Birmingham, AL. Told me when they come in to work each morning they find cars that were delivered overnight sitting in their lot. Said they get deliveries every night and don’t know which specific cars they’re receiving...

They postponed my DD by 2 days and offered me 3:00 on Mother’s Day! I told them I couldn’t due to obligations (happy wife, happy life-lol). Getting it Monday at 3:00 (unless it’s further delayed👎).

FWIW, both mattyg and I got delivery text exactly 11 days after VIN.

FWIW, I had three 14 day windows. Got a VIN about a week after the third one.

I agree. If DC actually had the car, I wouldn’t be waiting that long

No mention of any parts problem.

Uh-oh! SA just texted me that delivery has been pushed back 2 days, no explanation as to why. Delivery appointment was Friday, now Monday. Will this shifting never end???

When I ordered, SA suggested I set app to cash and no trade in, then change it later when I got a VIN. I never received a specific text about a trade in, just requested they change the app to show it once I got a VIN.

Once they updated the app to show the trade in option, I received my offer (which I declined) about 48 hrs. after I submitted the info.

Yes, look at my signature below. EDD’s we’re all over the place and changed 13 times.

Yeah, we could all make some money if we wanted to sell our September ordered cars and wait ANOTHER 7 months😁. Just got the text to schedule delivery. Selected this Friday, May 6. No mention yet of any “parts delay.” So I think it’s finally happening!

Did you buy just for the extra memory? Tesla’s website says all new cars come with a 128 GB USB drive.

I got the best offer from local dealer. Gave me $1,000 more than Carmax, $1,500 more than Tesla, and $2,800 more than Carvana.

The S3XY buttons seem a little “retro” to me, but having them for rear passengers is a neat idea. When I rented a MYLR last fall for a 10 day road trip, one of the things I was a little skittish about was using the touchscreen while driving-menu display and characters are too small. I started...

Just looked. Mine also has 15 miles. Maybe they drive them to the rail yard?

I can verify that. Just left DC. Was told car is NOT in transit, it’s still in Richmond CA rail yard Can verify that. Just left DC. Was told car is NOT in transit, it‘s still in Richmond CA rail yard. Guy said they are shipped by rail to Birmingham AL, then transported the rest of the way...

After reading your post now you’ve got me worried. Got VIN on 4/21 with EDD OF 5/8-5/10. Today it updated to 5/10-5/14. Just sold my car. Sure hope it’s not pushed back further!

FWIW, local dealer gave me $1500 more than Carmax, $2800 more than Carvana. If your car’s in great shape, you might want to go to local dealer of your brand get an offer. I know everybody’s situation is different.

Glad you finally got it! Looks like her theory was right.

OD 9/29. Blue.

Just got a VIN. So if “Dizz” is right about configuration batches prioritized by OD, you should get a VIN at any moment since you ordered a day before I did.

428. Anything significant about that?

HALLELUJAH!!!! Just got a VIN. EDD pushed back yesterday from 4/29-5/13 to 5/22-6/19. It’s now 5/8-5/10. Just hope they don’t take it away, have a Florida trip planned for late May.

EDD just pushed back again this morning☹️. Was 4/29-5/13, now 5/22-6/19. Eleven EDD changes, third time I’ve been in a 14 day window only to be pushed back to 28.

Can you pick it up in Decatur? That’s far closer to the airport.

I agree. They told me April when I ordered, so if I get it anytime this month I can’t complain. You and I have the same build and the same EDD’s so maybe that means something. I’ve looked through the order tracker spreadsheet on this forum and quite a number of people received their cars on...

My pattern, if there is one, supports your idea. Of 10 EDD’s, 7 have occurred on Sunday or Monday.

Just saw the same “Prepare for delivery” notice in the app. First time I’ve seen this, hope it means something. But hey, I’ve been “preparing for delivery” for over 6 months😄.

EDD changed this morning to 4/28-5/13. This is the 10th EDD change and 3rd 14 day window. Hope it means something, not holding my breath.

OD: 9/29/21 EDD: 4/30-5/28 (has changed NINE times-see below)

Just curious, did you ever put your order on hold or have a trade in offer that expired? I ask because my OD was 6 days AFTER yours and my EDD is almost a month BEFORE yours (and I’m on the east coast). Makes no sense. I did luck out in that my SA told me to specify cash and no trade in when...

I feel ya. Ordered two days after you and have had 10 EDD’S, now April 30-May 28.

Since the model Y I rented HAD FSD, it wasn’t clear where AP features end and FSD features begin. I assumed it was included with Autosteer based on the way the owners manual is formatted. I stand corrected.

To me, it would be worth the extra $2K to make sure I was getting a true self-driving car. Right now, it isn’t.
