Cameras in the headlight housings, viewing to the sides. This would help for the situations where you have side visibility blocked and you need to slowly edge out until you can see... While praying that the front of your car doesn't get hit. Honestly can't understand how FSD can work without...

The rear facing car seats have mirrors attached to the headrests. Ability to use cabin camera would be very beneficial for watching infants, especially if it would allow zoom.

If you don't watch them close when they're infants, you never get a chance to teach them to be well behaved.

Ability to view cabin camera in one corner of the screen to keep track of kids in the back seats.

11th character of VIN tells you Austin or Fremont. All Model Y LR and Performance are shipping with the exact same 2170 battery. The only Model Ys that ship with 4680 batteries are a handful that are sold as "model y awd" they are not labeled "long range". I think I'd read that some Model Y...

They told me it expires in 2 years. They also said I wouldn't see the 10k miles appear in my account until January.

Parking at Lynwood Tesla was a $&!@$ last week. I recommend you find somewhere nearby outside the delivery center to park your current vehicle (unless you're trading it) and then walk over. Otherwise expect to spend 10 minutes looking for parking, then you'll immediately get double parked...

I picked mine up on the 16th. fonger got one on the 17th.

Well that might drive the value up for the folks that get them....

I just picked up model Y 2023. I realize that USS would be 3 circles on the bumper. What is this single circle on mine? Anyone know?

All Model Ys since mid-October have comfort suspension. Cameras: compare the images here (I think they're so similar it's hard to tell)

My wife talked me into it. Took delivery today. I texted Tesla this AM and asked if I'd be getting the 10k free supercharger miles; they confirmed that I would. Matrix Headlights: YES New Cameras: NO (I think, hard to tell) USS: No Mudflaps: YES PPF behind rear doors: YES Panel gaps looked...

In the short term, we do lose several features: park assist, autopark, summon, and smart summon. In the long term, Tesla claims that they'll be able to bring those features back (using cameras only and not USS) but they have not committed to a timeframe. So, people are complaining because they...

I'm getting cold feet. My price is $77k counting the $3750 December delivery discount. I locked in my price in May so my car is $3k cheaper than current price and I also got FSD before they raised the price on that by $3k. So total of almost $10k less than today's going rate. FSD is a hard...

This will be my last update to the spreadsheet. Sorry, but with my delivery date assigned... it's kind of not worth the effort anymore. If anyone else would like to pick up where I've left off, you can find the spreadsheet here. There's also the Teslike spreadsheet, although it does not have...

Got my VIN and delivery date! @EVDeepDive @RoBoRaT @c3nsored : Would love to hear if your cars come with Matrix headlights or anything else interesting.

You ordered in February so your price was locked-in at what, $6k lower than today’s prices (not counting the 3750 credit)? Did they let you keep the lower price on the inventory car, or did you have to pay today’s price?

Thank you for the update!

From the accounts I’ve seen: no.

I'm thinking about going -1 in tire/wheel size for my winter tires. I've read that going a bit narrower than stock is a good idea for winter... anyone know if this is true or a good idea for Teslas? Thinking about going to 245 /50 R18.

Whose price did they match? The regular price for those looks to be $322 at Discount (ouch!).

Me too. Also, our configs are nearly identical and we're both in WA state.

You should head over to the 7 seat waiting room: 7 seat waiting room The 7 seaters definitely seem to be following a different delivery timeline than the 5 seaters (probably because there's a lot fewer of them and they all come from Fremont).

Thanks for the updates @SaHaRa and @MinnieUS ! Again, it looks like Tesla might be caught up on April 7 seat deliveries. It would be nice if we had a data point from someone who ordered in early May.

I consolidated recent info from this thread into a spreadsheet (because I can't decipher anything useful from the Teslike sheet). Looks like Tesla is almost caught up on April 7-seat orders. If you can't tell, I'm pretty anxious to find out when mine will arrive (hoping for December).

Is it a 7 seater? What was your order date?

Nope. Several people with custom orders have reported receiving the $3750 discount. See this thread: Electrek: Tesla gives $3,750 discount for Model 3/Y in the US this month

What was your order date? Trying to get an idea how far out my 7 seater might be...

Agree with most of this. The one thing that makes me think the IRS might give Model Y the credit up to 80k is that they can’t screw the Model Y without also screwing the Mustang Mach e. Those two vehicles have identical dimensions down to 10ths of an inch.

It’s an arbitrary number that Tesla thought would be enough to incentivize people to want to take delivery now rather than wait. They were right. It’s worth noting that there’s a lot of risks involved in waiting for the fed tax credit: The Model Y might not qualify at all (IRS might decide it...

Several people on this thread have confirmed that it lowers the immediate purchase price before taxes: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/electrek-tesla-gives-3-750-discount-for-model-3-y-in-the-us-this-month

My ECD has been stable for a couple weeks now: December 11-31. Should I start applying for financing? Does it seem like 7 seat deliveries have been accelerating lately?

There seems to be consensus on this forum that Towers, Adelfi, and FedChoice are the best options. I see one person on here got a good quote from Tesla. Is the general consensus that Tesla does not offer competitive rates? Should I even bother submitting an application for a Tesla loan, or...

If you're in a state with sales tax, the $3,750 credit is actually more like $4,100 (and you get it immediately). That's definitely a better bet than "maybe" getting either $3,750 or $7,500 a year later. Also worth noting: the RWD Model 3 definitely will not qualify for the full $7,500. Also...

Does anyone have experience with the Chargepoint Home Flex charger, and can you tell me if it's better/worse than a Tesla home charger from a usability/app-features perspective? I realize Teslas will have to use an adapter to charge via the Chargepoint... how big of a pain is that? It sure...

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Look at the forums here: for months people have desperately been doing ANYTHING they could think of to delay their orders to 2023. People have been changing their configurations daily, requesting holds, rejecting VINs. Some might even consider letting...

I went from nervously praying mine comes next year to happily hoping for ASAP. This is a huge stress reliever.

No. Tesla can’t give you a tax credit, only the IRS can. You can call it a Discount or a Credit but either way it’s got nothing to do with taxes.

I got invited to a virtual session a while ago over Microsoft Teams. The content was pretty much what you’ve described (prepare for delivery, setup profile, etc.). I suspect the worthwhile part is the Q&A portion… but I had an issue with the MS Teams login that Tesla gave me, and that...

Just want to +1 the OP’s request. I’ve stopped using the mobile app because people’s signature lines are often critical context for conversations. Every time I try to use the mobile app I end up needing to open the site in a browser. It would be nice to have a setting for “show signatures” in...

What date did you order, and what are you planning to do?

Specifically excluding Tesla, GM, and Toyota, actually. The new EV Credit goes into effect in 2023*. Until then, the old EV Credit and all of its rules still apply, including the 200k unit manufacturer cap. Tesla, GM, and Toyota have all exceeded that cap so none of their vehicles can qualify...

True. It's a gamble; it may or may not pay off when future Betas and future HW versions arrive, and Tesla decides what they're doing. Good point and very well said.

Yes, that's why I said "some (limited) resale value increase". See here: Tesla offering Autopilot Camera Upgrades to owners with FSD capability If heated seats are worth $18/month then it seems plausible that a self-driving subscription is worth $500+/month. That would easily value lifetime...
