The dreaded within spec. Do go through all potential issues and open tickets. Once you are over that 100 miles, it is going to be tougher to get minor things fixed. Do ask for a loaner if the car is going to stay there longer than a day.

Monthly detailing job. Also clipped on some loose fasteners that was making the Model Y chirp. Feels like a brand new car.

Yah, this is not my Tesla but took a screencap of it and marked the area in red. Basically if you get in your car (either driver or passenger side) Stick your head towards the windshield, look up and then back. That's the area marked. You can't see it when you're looking forward or if you are...

It should just snap right up in place. Just push it up firmly (Don't use too much force). Just to clarify, I'm talking about this area that I circled in red.

Could be due to how to make the $ make sense. It'll be cheaper, longer range and have less features technically (AWD). Not sure how they can spin that up and still make the AWD LR model relevant.

Yeps, about the same experience as mine. The gotcha is the exchange of services/hands. Tesla will likely contract a 3rd party to do the body work. I don't think there's a checklist or QC being done by Tesla after the work is done. They service a lot of cars that they will likely take the body...

Okay, per suggestion from the other thread, I just had my wife check the roof liner, the one all the way up at the front, where the dashcam/rear view mirror housing touches the liner. That WHOLE entire liner from driver to passenger side was OFF. She pushed it up starting from the dashcam area...

I just posted here to find this chirping. Can't believe you got it on camera, lol. How did you fix it, just pushing up the interior trim up? Is it supposed to be held up somewhere? Edit: Thanks for this. Just had my wife check while I'm at work and sure enough, the entire liner was unclipped...

Hey everyone, The suspect car is a Tesla Model Y in November '22, and the rattles are driving me insane. I don't want to leave my car at the dealership if they won't solve the problem, so I was wondering if anyone has taken their cars in for a rattle and could share what the Tesla folks did to...

lol, I am doing the same now.

yah, not sure either. I've learned to live with it but honestly, at 2K miles on the car, so many scratches and chips on the windshield already. Not even trying to replace it unless there's a crazy crack because it'll like get chipped the moment I drive it out of the lot, lol.

Cleaned the MY today. We have put around 1600 miles on it since purchasing it and already have about 5 chips on the windshield...my Mazda 2014 has around 140,000+ miles and one chip. Drives to the same places and if anything I take the Mazda from Norcal to Socal often. Pretty sure it's not the...

Regarding windshield, is it me or is the Tesla windshield pretty sensitive? I swear if there's something that grazes it when driving, it'll chip!

About a couple of months without Prem connectivity and so far there are definitely some things that I thing I'm missing out on, like direct connect to sentry when parking at sketchy places and this feeling that when I use the map, it's not getting the latest update so it would tell me to take...

I wonder if this was intended or if we're re-engineering their engineering, lol. I do the same too. Showed my wife and she looked at me funny. She used to drive a Lexus RX350 with the retractable cover.

Been using the Tesla mats for about a week and really like them. Like them a lot more than the 3D Maxpider mats that I had. That one felt too thin. I do have the 3D Maxpider for the cargo area.

That is packaged really well! Can't wait for the final reveal!

That's actually not too bad, right? Expecting tires to last 20-25K depending on how one drive.

Yah, this is a good tip since wet wipes are pretty portable, comes in different sizes too.

It's a car, have fun with it. There's no way you can go on a road trip and not eat in the car. Just have a microfiber towel and an interior and/or leather cleaner at home or bring it with you if you're going on a trip.

Wouldn't they need to wait for the pink slip? Not sure what the backlog is with DMV with getting that over. Might just be easier to use KBB Instant Offer or something like that if OP wants the "Trade in" experience (Not finding a private buyer) then give the cash to the son. Not sure of tax...

California, Nov delivery, can confirm that I didn't get this notice nor were notified during pickup. I was just active on the forum and had to physically check if there were sensors on the car...

"VIP" curtains or sketchy curtains? lol

This. Normally, they will ask for the agreement which shows the total balance with the down payment (Some CU require a certain down payment) and there's instructions on where to pay.

haha. I dodge trucks because there's no way they can hop off a big truck without having to swing the door all the way open. With vans because might be a whole circus inside, even if the door slides back, it'll likely come packed with strollers and bunch of randos. Then again, anything can...

Subjective BUT in a car where it's usually buy once, cry once (At least until you trade up, lol) get the trim that future you might want. If you're already debating it, that means some part of you is interested in the AWD feature. Given the price cut and money is NOT an issue, I would buy the...

I've always been choosey when it comes down to what car I park next to. I avoid trucks and vans, lol.

LOL, I see what you did there.

Here's a good way to settle on your Tesla after purchasing. Simply don't get into another EV or higher end luxury car so you won't be able to compare. Do that for at least a year until the "newness" of the car wears off.

Got my rear right tailight replaced via mobile service. It wasn't just condensation, looking like it was somewhat chipped internally. Weird and they never saw it. First SA said it was within spec and keep an eye on it. When I had a mobile repair guy at the house for another issue, I had him...

Sorry, unfortunately due to supply constraints, we can only send you the bill of the cap. The cap itself is coming soon.

I didn't even know they do install and removal. Personally, I would save the money and remove it myself. Watch some videos on how to. It should be pretty straightforward. Since you'll be stuck with the used spoiler, maybe you can post it on your local marketplace and see if someone wants to buy...

Sounds like overthinking from the development team, lol. I noticed the same and had to keep myself from changing volume when its happening as I'll forget on the next go.

Maybe the answer is somewhere in the middle. Make FSD an account wide feature/license (Per car), so if you have 2 Tesla, you need at least 2 FSD licenses but what Tesla is not liable for is the hardware requirement. So you can have an FSD license but if you don't have a car that is compatible...

All weather floor mats for sure. Screen protector because you never know. I like the anti glare matte ones. Mud flaps. Storage container for glovebox since it's just a big void without them.

What What number do you even call to talk to someone? Have you tried talking to them via the number that text you regarding your order information? Sometimes I get lucky and get a response rather quickly.

I don't know if I would blanket it that way. Those folks lost $. I'm on the boat for already came to terms, lol. Not even factoring depreciation because you are right, that's a factor if you are to trade in or sell your car. Just in cash (if you pay all cash) or the amount of money borrowed via...

I don't know that's a universal statements. Depending on the individual's circumstances, it might actually be a good time for them to buy simply because of the price point. Of course if one does not have the means and are in the red on everything else, an expensive new car should not be high on...

I got you, just keeping options open and depends on what comes out with the refresh Model 3. Also not going to put that much weight on what Elon has to say. He's smarter than me, for sure but not trying to play the jump, how high game with a billionaire, lol. Him and I have different problems...

I think OP is just coping. I'm coping too, got the itches and all that currently.

I added some ceramic coating onto my aftermarket spoiler, we will see if it'll last, lol

I think you missed the point, lol.

Although I get your analogy, it's different. The way Tesla sells their cars (Direct) is unique. The way the pricing is advertised for all to see is also unique for a car company. Unfortunately there's nothing that it really compares to 1 to 1 until we see other auto manufacturer doing the same...

I think that something will eventually happen to replace it. In terms of when and what, that's true, nobody knows unless you are working on it for Tesla. Even then, they might scrap whatever it is that's planned for something else. I mean, that's the gotcha with Tesla as a brand. They move...

This actually looks really nice. Thinking about picking this up as the daily driver (for work). I think the Prius Prime is going to cap out at $37K. Still not a Model 3 but it looks like it has a lot of nice features. Curious to see how it stacks up to the "updated" Model 3 that Tesla is working on.

Congrats! Hope you enjoy the car.

I think we can chalk up all of these posts to the following: THE price drop is good for new buyers and EV community as a whole (Makes other manu think twice before pricing their cars). THE price drop is not good for those that own a Tesla or have recently purchased one. The severity on how bad...

Have you tried reaching out to RPMTesla to see what they recommend and anything they can do to help solve the issue? They might not have warranty but they might have good insights.

lol, nice. That's one one to do it.

Potentially offset with software upgrades, SC miles, upgrade options, etc. Lots of ways if they want to get creative but like most folks said, it's a business. It's just that Tesla's selling/business model is transparent for good/bad. Not a big issue with standard dealerships because we never...
