We have to regularly transport baby gear, including a heavy stroller. I have not found anywhere to strap down stuff in the back. At best, this stuff moves around a lot while driving. At worst, it becomes a projectile in a collision. How do other people do this? Is it safe to drill holes into...

Thank you, but was wondering if anyone has actually tested it or had it used while driving and opinions on how well it works?

Does Tesla have good auto emergency breaking? Has anyone tested it out or had it been implemented to help the outcome of an accident? Our Subaru has this but not sure to what extent our Tesla does. Does it respond to pedestrians or just cars on the road? Is it rear and forward auto breaking or...

can you do that advanced setting from your phone, or only from the car?

That's disappointing!

Does anyone have FSD here who has actually seen parking assist come back with vision?

Thank you! I did try this, under two profiles. Still have to press "on honk" each new drive?

Each time I drive my new Y, I check is the dashcam on, and while dash is on, I have to press "on honk" each time I start a new drive. Is this what is supposed to happen? If the dash cam is not working on honk, how do you remember to save footage if an accident happens?

When I took delivery of the Ya month and a half ago, the SA said the software update to make up for the lost USS with camera vision would "definitely" be here within a few weeks; it's been 6 and no word yet. They really were saying and doing anything during that time to sell the cars as fast as...

Each time I turn the car on, the dash cam on honk mode is turned off, and I turn it on again. But then it turns off again the next drive, and I have to turn it on each time I start a drive. Why does this happen?

When I picked up our new Y earlier this month the SA said the vision update to make up for the loss of the USS would for sure come in the next couple of weeks. It is still not here and I have heard no updates or even rumors. Has anyone else??

What is the cast chassis?

I am in the same boat. But they specifically told me there will be no better discounts coming when I took the car. I also was thinking of rejecting delivery because there were some issues with the car, but ended up taking delivery. Wish I had delayed for a car without those issues, which may...

When we first received our Tesla Y two weeks ago, we had the same issue. It did get better after a week, we aren't really having the issue anymore. We noticed it at the time of delivery and SA said it is due to the seals needing to be loosened up.

About 2 weeks ago I received a message that the Model Y that we had placed the order for in March was ready for delivery. I called our sales contact we placed the order with, and told him we wanted to do a pick up at the end of December, because we did not need the car right away and I wanted to...

Are these normal: 1. slight gap between trunk and body panels 2. Rain water gets under frunk hood, around frunk outside of weather stripping, but not inside drunk 3. Driver door has to be slammed to close, was told this is due to weather stripping needs to be worn in. Thoughts? Thanks!

Hi all, at pick up I noticed the interior plastic on the doors and seats had some dents/scratches. The person handing us the car said we could put a service request in for it. Is it worth it? What can they even do?

So I have delivery this weekend, and this USS issue is making me really consider canceling my order. I am getting the car for the safety features and am now concerned the lack of the USS takes away from this, and the vision cameras won't be able to to restore what the USS did as Tesla is saying...

Any recommended checklists? Also, at what point do you accept delivery and hope that the service dept will fix things and is there any issue at which you would refuse delivery/payment? Thanks!

Strangely I just looked at the vehicle weight and Volvo is about 300 pounds heavier than the Tesla Y, but the Y is slightly taller and longer.

Really good points. Also IIHS says again and again you can only compare cars in the same size category, because the weight of the car matters, with heavier typically being safer in a collision (to my understanding). In terms of the Volvo sensors, I don't think more types are necessarily better...

Lol thank you. I really couldn't find any IIHS report that said Volvo is number one as he has said either. I asked him if he could show me the website, and he said to look at volvo.vom.

I finally had a day off to go to some car dealerships and ask about what some on this thread have mentioned about cost and availability of the alternatives. Since Mach-e and Id.4 seem to have significant issues at this time, I didn't look at those. I looked at the Volvo C40 and they had very...

Lol yes and at least with Tesla, everyone is ripped off equally.

I know what you mean, but the only reason I mentioned weight is because per IIHSS safety and other safety measures, you can only compare vehicles in the same weight range, because weight of the vehicle impacts safety. a 3,000 lb car cannot be compared to a 5,000 lb car.

Yes I agree the price was reasonable when it first came out at 49K, but they have increased the base price by 10K in 2 years. Our base price if we take it home this month with be 59K, but with add ons, taxes, fees, it will be around 69K which just seems overpriced.

That is a good point, I did not realize this. So you're saying that right now these other electric cars are being sold for significantly higher than the MSRP? When I bought my last ICE vehicle in 2020, we were able to buy it below MSRP so I did not even consider this.

I have not test driven the cars, since up until now I really thought we would just to with the Y. With the December "discount", our base price will be around 59K, with upgrades, taxes, fees, it will be around $69K. I was told the suspension has been "improved" in the Y which we will be getting...

I included only cars in the Y price range or below, similar weight range, IIHS safety rating

Hi all, We have been on the waitlist for the Tesla Model Y for close to a year now. Tesla told us to expect the car this month and now I am getting cold feat since the car is way more than I have ever spent on a car. So I am looking at the all-electric competition in the lower price range and...

Yes, I went to Tesla today to ask some questions. They are saying the car we would get in December will be the same as that we will get in January or any other upcoming month. Hopefully that is accurate. I called CA rebates, talked to our accountant, looked online, and it looks like if your AGI...

Thank you! By "plug" you mean the NEMA 15-50 connector right? That makes sense, thanks! Just to make sure I understand the terms in this option: - Install a dryer type outlet in the garage -> attach the NEMA 14-50 "adaptor" to that outlet, and then attach the J1772 from the NEMA to the car...

Is the installation cost just to have a 220 outlet in the garage?

Thank you! I am looking at that option on the websiste: Home Charging Does that mean it is just an adaptor that you attach to your standard outlet and the charging cable the Tesla comes with plugs directly into? What is the installation cost for? Seems like you could also take it elsewhere...

Thank you! We live in San Diego, so I will have to call SDGE. I would primarily be charging at home. I will contact some local installers.

I was told there are certain things to look at when expecting the new Tesla Y 7 seater when it arrives - what are the common things we should inspect the car for that may need to be fixed? Also when do they Y 2022s stop coming out, and the 2023s start? Thanks!

Hi all, this will be our first electric car. We have solar on our California home's roof, already enough to energy for fully charge a lot of driving per month on Tesla, per our electric company. Our garage does not have any special outlet or charger yet, we just have the standard garage outlets...

We have a December expected delivery date for our Model Y 7 Seater, after we placed the reservation in the end of March. We are above the 300K AGI. Is there any tax benefit/credit/rebate or other benefit to delaying until Jan 2023? We live in California. Would the car itself be any different...

We have a December expected delivery date for our Model Y 7 Seater, after we placed the reservation in the end of March. We are above the 300K AGI. Is there any tax benefit/credit/rebate or other benefit to delaying until Jan 2023? Would the car itself be any different if received in 2022 vs...
