    Loose Rearview Mirror

    Are you able to elaborate some more on the design/fix or provide some pics? Not sure how this even happened but the rearview mirror for my 2023 MYLR is loose as well. It moves side-to-side that it's causing a rattling sound when driving and sometimes the mirror shifts a little when driving over...

    Turn off your phone's Bluetooth when you're not using it because it'll always be trying to connect to your Tesla if you're nearby (especially at home). I don't have issues with battery draining so I just leave my Android phone in the center console since I have an organizer with rubber pads in...

    Getting "Front passenger safety restraint system fault" error right after updating software

    Seems like you have to be very lucky to get a technician who is willing to troubleshoot to find the issue instead of trying random solutions. Schedule an appointment with SC because if your car still has warranty, then this is covered under the warranty. Started seeing the error on my 2023 MYLR...

    Haha understandable. I also like the aftermarket design but I feel like more things could possibly get caught inside there due to the bigger gaps. Who knows, I'll probably end up ordering something like those instead of something similar to the MYP's uberturbine style.

    Yeah you're right, definitely just lesser spokes which makes it look a little like the induction wheels. The following are the uberturbine wheels that come with the MY Performance: Which you can see have more spokes and a lesser gap between each one.

    Looks great! The style matches the 20 inch induction wheels. I'm debating on whether to get induction or uberturbine style wheel covers for my MY's 19-inch wheels. Don't like how the induction wheel covers have larger gaps so might go with the ladder option. I currently have aftermarket black...

    Wow, what unfortunate luck. Excluding the tornado, I've been wondering how Tesla holds up with hail storms. Wonder if the glass gets chipped or scratched very easily in those weather conditions. I live in NJ so I'll probably find out when winter comes. Since owning the MY, I've only had maybe 1...

    No, he's obviously not going to say that cause then no customer will buy a M3/MY right now lol. Someone quoted my reply on the same page and it explains further. Tesla said that they are focusing on increasing production, expanding/opening new factories, selling their inventory, etc and don't...

    Listened to Tesla's earnings call and from my understanding, Tesla is thinking long-term and informed investors they should be doing the same. Emphasized that there are "macroeconomic situations" aka recession/economic uncertainty and profit-margin could suffer short-term but long-term they see...

    Hmm...if Tesla is constantly "cutting costs" for their M3 and MY vehicles by taking out certain things, then the cars are technically not worth what they're currently selling for. This makes sense as to why Tesla can reduce prices and hopefully still keep great profit margins. If the Tesla MY...

    Safety restraint system fault - Fixed

    That's what I figured. They are most likely pushing your appointment back because the parts haven't arrived. However, you want Tesla Service to try diagnosing the problem rather than just replacing the entire seat which is very invasive compared to the alternatives. Don't message Tesla service...

    I believe all customers who have an order placed for a vehicle that has had its priced reduced should receive an email tomorrow or so about the price discount and the price for their order will update to honor the lower price.

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

    Nope. You always get the lower price. If the price goes up, you stay at your current lower price. If the price goes down again, you get the lower price. Once you take delivery of your car, you don't get anything if they increase/decrease the prices again. Some people last year paid like $66,990...

    Yep. We obviously won't see that money lol so that's why a lot of people move on from these forums after picking up their vehicle. Tesla will probably lower it some more in the later quarters (especially the MYSR and M3SR RWD) so there's definitely more to come. Tomorrow morning or so it will...

    Wow, I predicted price drops to be very soon but didn't expect large amounts like these. That NJ charge up rebate program would've made these a steal but they unfortunately ran out of funding for 2023. Luckily for the NJ buyers who haven't picked up yet, the new price is better than getting the...

    Yes, the error either showed up right when I pressed the brake pedal to put in Drive or while I was driving on the road. For some odd reason, the error actually started happening right after I installed a new Tesla update in late Feb (it showed the error message right after the car was done...

    Yeah I was fortunately very lucky. My Cost Estimate PDF implied they were going to replace the entire seat and based on my conversations with Tesla service in the app's chat, they were waiting on the parts to be delivered. When I showed up to Tesla service for my appointment, they didn't...

    @hohjoe @championwaqas Dropped my car off at Tesla service yesterday. Even though my Cost Estimate PDF had what they were going to do, they actually went to diagnose the problem so they could find out why it was happening. It took around 4 hours for them to fix (they gave us a loaner MY cause...

    Wow I didn't even expect that but I guess it makes sense with the surge of EVs now. Ever since the price drops, I see a Tesla very often in NJ now. Do they get the similar funding for 2024-2025? I'm assuming NJ EV buyers will still not have to pay sales tax but losing the NJ state rebate sucks...

    That's how it works (2 or 3 day window). If those days don't work for you or your scheduled DD gets delayed, then they'll give you 2-3 available days another week. However, it seems that when it's the end of quarter rush (or Tesla is desperately trying to guarantee a customer purchase), they...

    🙋‍♂️ Tesla will send you a text that includes a link to their automated scheduler whenever that gets triggered (you only get like a 2-3 day window). IMO, text the number that Tesla is sending you texts from. Tell them you have a VIN and want to schedule delivery as soon as you can due to...

    Looking at the Model Y price history document, the lowest they sold the MYLR was $48,990 and that was probably without any/much tax incentives. I would imagine if Tesla was VERY desperate to sell inventory at end of Q3 or some time in Q4 and they're facing competition from others, we could...

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

    Yeah there was so much FOMO buying in Q1 (me included) due to not knowing if the federal tax credit would remain or not. Also the Teslas will always improve so can't really regret the choice of getting one at a particular time. Even if you were to get a HW4 MY, HW4.5 or HW5 could end up being a...

    Random question: would you rather get your Tesla Model Y tomorrow or wait it out for a while and end up getting a discount (let's say $1k or $2k) if Tesla lowers prices again? I'm very interested to see people's reactions when Tesla ends up lowering prices again in a few months since their...

    You can always reschedule it in the app to a better time or later day that suits you.

I'll let you know what happens with my appointment. Fingers...

    1. Has Tesla service given you a cost estimate yet? My friend documented all his issues in a Service ticket once he got home after picking up the car. He drove like 50 miles the first day and probably over 100 miles in the first week but was still given a cost estimate of $0 when he went for his...

    Is your adjusted order (due to price decreases) now below $55k even with the tow hitch? If so, then I would recommend contacting the SA to see if they can discount the $2k NJ State rebate from your current order total. If not, then obviously your choice if you want to modify your current...

    It's actually very easy to replace the wheel covers. Just takes some time and patience. You can even clean your rims after removing the OEM wheel covers. That being said, certain wheel covers can slightly effect efficiency so I'd recommend doing some research on the wheel covers you plan on...

    I've watched several videos and done some researching about the issue. There are various ways to potentially solve it with replacing the seat to be the last resort and an invasive process. And yeah, there is 1 sensor right under where you sit so they could take it apart and replace it but...

    Yours is the exact same as mine then. Exactly like my estimate, the correction states "remove and replace" so I'm thinking they're going to order a new passenger seat, remove your current one, and then install the new one to hopefully fix the issue. The 1st part indicates the passenger seat and...

    It does suck but if inventory doesn't sell, then Tesla could lower the prices again by a few hundred or even thousand. The lowest price the MYLR was at a point was $48,990 so it is indeed possible. Then we'd be the ones who bought at a slightly higher price despite both price points being great...

    Thanks! I'll check the specific error code that I'm getting cause my error message does seem slightly different than yours. Did you provide the info to them via the chat with Service? For me, I scheduled a service and they just provided me the cost estimate PDF above which shows what they'll...

    If your MY order was less than $55k and you are purchasing in NJ, the $2k should automatically be taken off when looking at the final price breakdown (it will show something like "NJ state rebate"). The charger tax credit is different from the one mentioned. In NJ, you can get either a $4k...

    What does the estimate PDF for your service appointment show? That might give an indication of what they might fix as it'll have the parts they're ordering and the labor cost.

    I actually have been getting a similar error since early March on my 2023 MYLR.

    I expect Model 3 RWD price to drop after the tax credit deadline which would make it desirable to people who didn't qualify due to income limits. I also expect MY SR price to drop if they want to get rid of their massive existing inventory. Dropping the MYLR and MYP prices ensure current orders...

    This isn't anything new 🤷‍♀️ Tesla starts doing discounts and SAs even try giving options credit towards the very end of a quarter to land a sale of a vehicle within that quarter. You could potentially get upgraded wheels/color for free, free supercharging miles, etc to persuade someone to...

    Since you have it paired, what happens if you turn Bluetooth off and then back on or restart your phone entirely?

    How long was it at Service for? Are you able to view the "Cost Estimate" PDF under "Service" option in your Tesla app? It should list all the parts being replaced or added. Mine currently shows 4 particular bolts and 1 LH driver seat so I'm assuming that they're gonna just replace the entire seat.
