I like your DIY attitude. PPF installation is a huge nut to add to an already expensive car. One thing to consider is having a detailer do a paint correction before YOU apply the PPF or have them do the bumper too as that seems the most aggrivating piece. The others seem much easier...

Congratulations! She's a beut! Long time coming, but well worth it. I have all of 351 miles on my MSM and absolutely love it. I understand why EV owners say they won't go back to an ICE. It's so much more pleasureable driving experience. I spent an extra $1k for ceramic coating inside...

After 3 weeks of receiving my MY, I want you all to know that I love it. Not onliy the power, the steering, the "refueling" each and every night. But also, the thought of what every OTA improved feature may bring to my aging vehicle. I wont have to wait for this car to get old to get new...

For those still waiting, hold strong, I have faith it will be worth it in the end. We'll today is my day finally. I have bank check and inspection checklist in hand. I have been impressed / relieved with all the recent reports of the good build quality even during times of, no doubt...

Woo Hoo! Congrats on being a proud Model Y owner! Optimus looks awesome! Next step? PPF? Ceramic?

Since I'm closing in on my DD next week I've been reviewing many sources for delivery inspection ideas. Now this is the first new car I've purchased in, oh say, 40 years. I am amazed how detailed the consumer feels they need to be based on Tesla's quality build reputation. Would any other...

Do a google search for Model Y checklist. You''ll find multiple sources. Also some good Youtube videos. Good Luck and Congrats!

Indeed a bit confusing. I was stumped there too. Confirm means your confirming the payment method NOT confirming the actual payment. You'll see another step or two after that where it ask you to actually Pay for the car. Back out of that step and your good to go. You'll get...

From the outset, I thought the same, but the state $3500 Tax Credit eligibility of $55k forced my hand even more than the Fed Rebate. IMHO you got the best deal in terms of MSRP. I have a delivery time for my MYLR MSM next Monday turns out only 3 days later than the original EDD range...

You kid but... the 2024 version just might be worth the wait. Although I'm not that patient! And oh by the way... I'm confident your going to get the full tax credit (but of course what do I know!) :rolleyes::)

20 amp 220 charges a Model Y 15 miles per hour, 30 amp 220 = 22 mph Maybe you speak of 120 vac https://images.app.goo.gl/XnXhBbFRmDUBgBnA7

Mike Medzhidov Electrical Solutions 781-214-0032 https://www.electricalsolutionstoday.com/ Very personable, experienced and knowledgable from my perception. Didnt try to upsell power requirements. In fact, based on my situation, said 20-30 amp circuit is ample. No need to run additional...

Thanks for the checklist! I will definitly use. Additionally, not related to this post, can't find the original, just wanted to share that I've received quotes for installing charger next to existing garage panel for $325 from a Tesla certified installer vs Q-Merit standard installation...

Not worth trying to figure out the EDD Dance. Keep doing what your doing... pay attention to others in the forum. There is no expected date sequence, more like a wave, where OD's within some range (2-3 wks?) are jostled around, but finally, slowly, they begin to reach shore (delivery)...

I understand the tax benefit of trading in cars but... If your willing to sell the car yourself privately the gain can be substantial! I know you know that, but just a reminder.... I sold mine on Craigslist asked exactly the KBB average retail. Had many inquiries.

Fanboy: The certified check vs. plaid is a bit of risk mitigation? (system down/connectivity, easier to inspect first, etc)??? Sounds like an interesting idea I hadnt considered...

Zroger.... Good perspective regarding players fee. Here in Mass total State and Fed Tax implications are $11k. What a great opportunity to get into an EV with discounts plus tax break. Assuming Model Y will be Fed Tax Credit applicable into April and beyond, it might be better to...

Hi Melrose, MA... Here is my journey OD 1/16 MYLR 5 MSM/White/19" Original EDD: Feb 14 - Mar 24 2/14 EDD: Mar 12 - May 31 2/28 EDD: Apr 5 - May 10 3/18 Vin received(Austin) 3/18 EDD: Mar 30 - Mar 31

Thanks for sharing experience and pics. Hate to see it, but it's obvious they are doing whatever they can to get the cars out ahead of EOQ. And we are doing whatever we can to receive the cars ahead of EOQ... Not a good recipe for experiencing good quality. OD: 1/17.... DD: 3/30-3/31...

This must be Tesla's way of increasing their margins even higher. Sell the same car twice. Once to a living human being, And again to a ghost. They probably figure heck the LHB's (hey everything has an acronym today) can't see ghosts and ghosts can't drive! IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT...

Hold on. Have faith. My OD was mid Jan as well. Just received a VIN. I'm sure yours will happen soon now as well.

FanboyNC: I'm so happy for you! I made a bunch of calls myself yesterday to no avail. And voila today I find my VIN, Austin plant, exact same build as yours. Must be twins. So finally, fingers crossed, MY's in the driveway soon! OD-1/16/23...MYLR/MSM/W/19"..VIN Assigned 3/18 EDD-...

Reasonable guess, It would be interesting to understand car sales by color. I would assume red and blue are lower on the scale. You have experienced a crazy number of EDD changes. Since Jan 16, I've only had 3 EDD changes in comparison. Hold strong and have faith.

Zrobert73 Definitely applaud your new car purchase process pre-Tesla. Obviously our current order/delivery stress is magnified by Federal and State tax implications. Thankfully Troy is a able to provide knowledge and analysis that significantly helps reduce much of that stress level...

This is ridiculous. There are several cars in inventory that are $250 and $500 more than my original order. They will not budge. In the meantime I've been waiting since Jan 16. This is critical as that amount puts me over the $3500 state rebate limit. So if I wait, I (likely) lose the...

Is there any comfort in knowing your not the only Tesla Owner Wannabe in that Ground Hog Day existence? Here's the question to myself. If, on April 1, we find, no car, no federal tax break, do we still plunk down the 60k. Same question if only 1/2 federal tax break. Right now I'm...

Im sure your right about timing for the East Coast deliveries. Makes me mad with a 1/16 OD. But to be honest, I can understand the logic as they react to Quarterly finance reporting pressures. It's how the game is played... As stated above, we will continue to root for the IRS...

I'm not secretly hoping, but it would be an advantage, too bad I already sold my car!! Actually I'm hoping the IRS' shuffles their feet a month or 2 as Im sure my delivery will be oh April 1?

Unless your an investor, you may not like the real Tesla margin per car.... It's an industry best at 9K per car according to this author. Tesla could afford to give substantial discounts in January to protect their marketshare. See the attached article Charted: Tesla’s Unrivaled Profit...

I'm sure those SA's have beeing getting an "earful" this past week. I did the same as mine was pushed into Apr-May. Unfortuately my text wasnt as impactful as yours! Still waiting since 1/16/2023. Patience is a virtue? Hopefully not an expensive virtue....
