    Tesla Newbie - PPF Necessary?

    I thought about over a year ago when I picked up my Y, but could not justify the costs from my local preferred installer. In that one year time, I have maybe one or two dings that need a spot of touch up paint. I would agree with others, not needed at all but personal preference choice. In a...

    What are your home electricity rates?

    I am paying around 14.5 cents after taxes and fees, flat rate, here in Alabama. My local Co-Op doesn't have an EV rate, but they are doing a study with Optiwatt now to try and determine a rate. Hopefully they come up with something.

    Lienholder address on MVPA

    The MVPA is the purchase agreement. That should be all that they need and you will provide them with a copy of the title app once it has been processed. At least that is what mine wanted when I got mine.

    Supercharger - Prattville, AL

    I will try to swing by there in the next couple of days and check her out now that she is open.

    Supercharger - Prattville, AL

    I went by there today and it is definitely a more hefty plug. Did not take a picture of the tip but the cord is much heavier. Still have the plastic condoms on these and they are not activated.

    Supercharger - Prattville, AL

    Went by there today and the contractor said v4 and was just waiting on Tesla to commission the units. 12 stalls I believe.

    If they are like the pictures we have seen of other v4 chargers, then yes those are magic docks.

    Supercharger - Prattville, AL

    This is right close to me. Have not been on the forums in some time and I saw this on X. Can't wait to have these ones close by in case needed. Wish we could get some in Clanton for the trip up to Birmingham, but these are in a great location with plenty of food and right close to the...

    Factory screen protector

    I have not heard of this, but I do not frequent the forums as much as I did when I was waiting on my car. I have had mine in for service twice (not touchscreen related) and they have never mentioned it.

    Fayettville GA Service Center - Great Experience

    Excellent experience at the Fayetteville GA service center. Had to take the MY in for a sentry mode false positive issue to get the cameras and hardware looked at since nothing could be seen on remote diagnositics. While I was there, had them look at the Windshield Washer for the driver side. It...

    Exceeding charge limit

    I set mine at 60% nowadays but when I get in the car in the mornings it is usually around 57-58%. I used to charge to 70% but figured I did not need that much daily so lowered it to help with degradation. It would be 69-70% usually during those times. As others stated, it is just a best guess...

    New to Forum - almost ready to order

    I believe Tesla's trade-in value is only good for 30 days, so you might want to shop around closer to your EDD. I could be wrong on that. I ended up selling my old vehicle to a buddy so YMMV.

    Finance Question

    Tesla did not make me provide anykind of approval since I was doing my own financing. I waited till I had a pretty solid EDD and then got pre-approved with my CU. The CU just asked for an estimated cost and I did place a decent down payment. Once my DD was set and I had the MVPA, I provided that...

    Front window tint recommendation and price

    I paid $175 for 20% Xpel ceramic on the front. Matches the back perfectly.

    Lost LTE, brand new Model Y

    Mine has lost the LTE signal a few times and usually a reboot of the system fixes it. I have had to reboot it twice before. It does take some time before it comes back on, usually two-three minutes after the reboot. I would agree with others, if these simple things don't fix it, contact service...

    Vendor 🚨IN STOCK NOW: LDCRS Tesla Model Y Under Seat Storage Box - Compatible with LDCRS Mats🚨

    Got a chance to install these in my 23 Austin Model Y and they fit great in the front and back. Little snug in the back drivers seat but do seem to fit. Not sure if it goes all the way though. It blocks the leg room if you have passengers, so I put mine in the front and they fit great. I have...

    Finance Question

    You will not get the total financed amount until a VIN is assigned and you get your Purchase Agreement paperwork. That is the paperwork you give to the bank. You should be able to get close enough for the bank to estimate based off your order agreement. That is how my CU handled it. Once you get...

    Software update keeps showing in app even though I’ve updated.

    I would try: Logout of the Tesla app and back in Uninstall and re-install the app Uninstall, reboot phone, re-install. That would be after you try the suggestion above about checking in-car. Good luck!

    with the Price Cut fun/drama begins

    My take on the whole price drop drama, but what the hell do I know! The price drop sucks no doubt. But I love my car and plan to drive it for several more years so it is not a huge deal for me. I did already have GAP because my CU offered at a stupid price when I got the car and it was silly...

    First Road Trip in Alabama

    Thanks everyone for the comments and advice. I think I am going to go for it and be fine. It is cold today but not as cold as it will be Friday and I can notice the consumption increase. It appears to be about 1-2% on my short morning trip to work. I have it scheduled in ABRP and it shows that I...

    First Road Trip in Alabama

    I am just north of Montgomery going up 82 to Tuscaloosa. I am pretty confident about making it to T-Town no problem. I think I am going to hit the Cottendale SC (Tuscaloosa) one and probably go back via Interstate up I59 to B'ham and can hit the Mountain Brook SC if needed. Then come back down...

The distance from my home to my destination is around 130 miles then back for a total round trip of 260 or so. I don't have any concerns on making this trip in...

    Does Your Charging Port Light Turn Off When Charging at Home?

    I believe if the car is unlocked it will continue flashing but locked it does not as mentioned above. I lock my doors in my garage (don't know why, just do) and mine goes away but still charges.

    How do you get to the audio EQ settings now? Anybody figured it out or am I just being dumb and not seeing the icons anymore? For the update, I appreciate the myQ since I already have one at home. Going to try it out at least for the 30 days free. Otherwise, not anything that just blows my...

    Model Y Prices starting January 1st

    I have not had any issues, but only had to remove one of them for a flat tire issue. It was a little stiff, but had no issue removing it. The center cap is a bit tough, but so far so good. Good luck man, you will love the car either way you go.

    One week old… new tire

    This happened to me yesterday, caught a screw. Luckily I was able to get mine plugged and patched. The tire guys said they had done several that day and figure someone dropped a box of screws or something on the Interstate as they all came into town the same way I do. It was a PITA, but the...

    MY LR waiting room.

    As others have said, you just enter your down payment amount and and it will generate an MVPA for you. My local CU then used that to do the paperwork. On delivery day I paid with two certifed checks. One from my main bank with the down payment and one from the CU with the financed amount.

    Georgia/Atlanta Waiting Room

    I used Kennesaw but got my delivery day text and communicated with my SA the day after the VIN email, never got a VIN text. Did you get an Austin or Freemont? Mine was quick, but again different location.

    Can confirm as well the front/passenger and rear passengers all seem to fit well. They are bit snug, but I like them that way so they do not move. Can agree it would be nice if they went a touch higher, but I am pleased with the fittment too. Already had a few compliments from the detail shop...
