    Discussion: Model Y General Waiting room for orders placed After January 2023

    Yeah, you can see my delivery report from an earlier post. I believe the check should be made out to "Tesla, Inc." and the memo should have your order number in it, RNxxxxxx. I added my full name to the memo as well.

    I appreciate both the points and counter-points. Picked my Model Y up on 2/2, and am so far extremely happy with it. Thanks in part to this very thread, that helped make the whole experience that much more special to me! (Though I'll try to keep from straying from topic from now on - I'm...

    Actually, my prediction for tomorrow's inspection - the inspector will say my panel is overloaded, and I will need to downsize my 60 amp breaker! 🤣

    Yeah, I agree with you (certainly now) - the manual and product is clearly designed to run on smaller breakers with the corresponding appropriate wire sizes. That said, I bet there is at least one inspector out there that would disagree :) (and I would get that inspector).

    Oh I know - I put in a 60 amp breaker on 6awg, precisely because I would expect a fail - both because it probably should fail on a 50 amp setup, in my opinion, and because Murphy's law would suggest I would be the unlucky chap should I have gone the 50 amp route.

    Very Interesting. My luck and I would get that one overzealous inspector who would fail me because the charger CAN be configured that way. Who knows, I could still fail the inspection on Tuesday 🙃 I will try to remember to ask him if he would pass me in the event I installed 8awg on a 50 amp...

    Nice LOL. I thought I might have messed that up. Shows you the extent of my “authority” and “jurisdiction”! And should serve as a stark reminder to take everything you read on the Internet with a grain of salt - myself included! I was doing some reading on the subject about ampacities and...

    It's not just that... if you have a 60 amp breaker on the circuit with wire that is only rated at 55 continuous amps, that's asking for a fire, isn't it? And let's say he takes the TWC with him when he moves, and the new owner moves in and says, "Ah, look at this, a 60 amp circuit, perfect for...

    This is a long post - skip it if you don't care about how you're going to charge this new car of yours :) First, it will mostly depend on your AHJ - Authoritative Housing Jurisdiction - the local code inspector whether, as to whether it gets passed or not. You should call your town office and...

    I had the same issue- and an open frunk and that was making it pretty hard for me to take delivery no matter how badly I wanted the car. So the SA came out, palms down, hands a bit more than shoulder width apart with fingers pointing outward, then pressed down with not an overly seeming amount...

    I believe the cost of ceramic coating is included on top of the PPF install (though I don't think the whole car. That has to be something I can do myself, no? Same... I just washed the X1 yesterday because it was pretty bad from the salt on the roads.... it does a really good job at showing...

    Yup. Makes sense about having a seam with white. Mine is gray but still didn't do it. I think 'performance package' with the lower part of the doors and the tailgate sill was like another $600 maybe? I asked about the seam and they said they sort of follow the curve in the body. Either way...

    Uh... yeah.... sort of... I did call the town, and spoke to them about filling out a permit - does that count? LOL. Good call though, I'm going to go down to the town today and get the paperwork. I agree, insurance is the biggest thing about doing it yourself. Admittedly, being in NJ it's...

    After much consternation and reading and more consternating, I decided to do a full frontal wrap package with AutoCorrect detailing in Augusta, NJ. I had never heard of them (or PPF before buying a Tesla!), but they have outstanding reviews and as luck would have it, pretty close by, which is...

    Honestly, they are pretty hard to see. I went out to my garage just now and tried to get a picture of it. You can barely see them and only in the right light. If it's cloudy or rainy, forget about it. I looked for the scuff, I couldn't locate it! Anything you see in those pictures is NOT...

    Passenger is a little worse, but still don't think it's terrible. Any redress? (Should I care to do anything about it?) I guess we'll see what service says.

    OK, so I took delivery today! OD: 1/14, Vin: 1/15, produced 1/16. Delivery appt on 1/21. Took delivery 2/1 at Tesla in Springfield, NJ In short, the experience was great, and the drive home was nothing short of magical. I concur with the previous posters about how it's almost comically...

    I only got a text to schedule on 1/21, and was able to choose 1/31, 2/1 or 2/2. Selected 2/1, but I had to move it to 2/2. Just texted the SA and switched it right away. OD 1/14 Vin 1/15 Born on 1/16. Guess I caught the tail end of an MSM run LOL. Hoping it's a true "wednesday car"!

    That makes sense. I don't want to be unreasonable, just want to make sure I feel good that there is nothing that can't be addressed after delivery. Honestly, I'm not too picky either, and of course, I want the car! LOL. As long as it can be fixed in a reasonable amount of time, I think I'll...

    Yeah, will definitely give a full report here :) I spoke to a colleague from work who picked up in Springfield back around July, who said they didn't unlock the car until he went inside and paid, but it didn't sound like he really pressed for it either. I guess the question is, if I ask, and...

    Picking mine up tomorrow from Springfield NJ. I will go to the bank and get a cashiers check. Are there instructions on what details? Who to make it out to, if the “RN” order number goes in the check memo? Regarding any issues, can I ask them to be address before taking delivery? Hoping...

    Need to make a decision fast to take what they have or wait for my build design.

    So you get the 1500 even if your cost doesn't go up that high?? Does it cover the juicebox too?? Trying to figure out what it will actually cost you LOL to see if I need to reverse my tracks :-)

    Discussion: Model Y General Waiting room for orders placed After January 2023

    I think you’re talking about the credit for the vehicle, whereby a MY will qualify for 2k and in NJ, at least, is removed from price of the car (point of sale). If the vehicle is under 45k, you get 4K.

    Does the $950 include the juice box? In other words, is it just a turnkey solution for $950? I realize you need to front the cost and submit for a rebate but worth it if no out of pocket after getting your money back. Also, does it include the permitting? My run is about 10ft but need to fish...

    It sounds like we have a clear winner here. Cashier's check is the only way to go. The breakdown of the amount is pretty straight-forward, but it does say that those numbers could change. (That would be annoying!) Fortunately, it looks like my bank has a branch less than a half mile from my...

    This is a bit concerning :-) I also ordered a silver/gray model, coming from Austin, with a VIN a some 2,200ish after yours... If cars are coming off the line every 60 seconds (just a ballpark guess from something I read), that's only about 35-40 minutes later! I guess I'll be inspecting the...
