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

    Both vehicles were just over 8 years old, but had less than 90 K miles. I was told that hybrid batterie vehicles should be driven daily which these were not driven. One we purchased used, with very low mileage, and the other was handed down to us from my in-laws. Both of their batteries went...

    Parking Assist Unavailable after 2023.6.9 update

    Yesterday, Tesla service asked me install an updated version, which was also numbered 2023.6.9. This did not solve the issue. I am also getting 'Autopilot unavailable' warning as well. I'm wondering if I should recalibrate the cameras.

    I wholeheartedly agrree. We've owned four Prius vehicles. They are very complex and still require maintenance associated with ICE vehicles, with the exception of brakes which we never replaced. However, two of our Prius' batteries failed at under 90K miles just a month after the warranty...

    Mr. Z, I hope there is someone nearby keeping an eye out for you. Perhaps you and your bother-in-law can go play golf or some other activity that provides another source of frustration. (Just kidding of course). I keep an eye on this thread hoping to read good news from some of my favorites on...

    If you ordered the MYP just to get earlier delivery, I think you're going to continue to second guess yourself and you'll be miserable. Even after learning today of the 'new April 18 IRS guidance date', I am very happy that I chose the MY P for reasons that I shared with you in an earlier...

    Wow, those savings are incredible! Nothing like that offered here in AZ. But, I'm still loving my MY P. However, I decided to forgo PFP and apply the ceramic coating myself since I spent $4k to upgrade from the MY LR.

    I first asked the SA via text if making the change would likely speed up delivery. The response was the chances are good since MY LRs are in much higher demand than Ps. I made the change to my order online. I then sent a brief text notifying them of my change and thanked them. I received no...

    Sorry to hear that. Perhaps you'd have better luck if you're willing to accept another color. You might ask your SA if that would help. I know a guy (also in Phoenix area) who ordered his P in MSM and just received his car this past weekend in under three weeks. I was shocked. Don't mean to...

    If the M3 loses the federal tax credit, Tesla may have to reduce prices on that model in order to lever demand as many people may delay due to anticipated 2024 refresh. If the MY retains full federal tax credit, I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla increases the price of the MY lineup by $1K or...

    I've had my P for one week and absolutely love how its smooth acceleration and handling. I love feeling the road as opposed to the lumbering, bouncy ride of my previous vehicle, a 2013 Honda Pilot. The roads that I drive in Arizona are very well maintained. Therefore, the wheel/tire setup and...

    Such sad, under-informed, pitiful behavior from angry little people who form their beliefs from popular culture talking points. I've seen this type of aggression directed toward many different vehicles, including Prius, BMWs, Porsches. If this happens to me while driving, I'll instruct Telsa...

    I think it would be useful for Tesla to enable the selection of other secondary choices you would consider. When an 'in inventory' unit is build it would trigger an automated text/email alert. The user could then navigate to a web page that would have units matching meeting their original...

    First Drive MYP - most surprising features / behaviors

    I noticed the same thing with my front doors requiring a strong push or pull to fully close. I do like how substantial the door sounds when it closes. I too am very satisfied with the build quality of my MYP. I should have added that the interior looks and feels quite plush despite it...

    In the documents section of your Tesla Account, you should see a copy of the Delivery receipt that you signed at the SC. I'm not sure if that will suffice for the tax credit. I was told by the SA that Tesla would be sending out whatever documentation is necessary before next tax season.

    I never received the 'Expect to receive VIN'. Since you're in the bay area, the time frame between being assigned and scheduling delivery may be very short as Tesla makes its EOQ rush. By the way, I was assigned a VIN the exact day the MYP was built. Good luck!

    Reply to the text that was sent to you for setting up your vehicle's delivery. Ask them for the vehicle's birth date and state your concerns re previous reject. A Sales Advisor should get back to you within a few hours. I wouldn't be overly concerned about the short window between VIN...

    That's some excellent advice! My main concern was finding a paint or panel issue which may indicate the vehicle required repair. How many items on the check list must be reported within the 7-day / 100 mile limit in order to be covered under warranty? Unless it's a cosmetic issue wear and tear...

    Beginning in 2023, alternative fuel vehicles lost the preferred AZ annual registration fee. Hence, the annual registration fee has more than doubled. First year is now over $1k. Silver lining - the freeway system in AZ is some of the best conditioned roads that I have ever driven.

    There are several videos on Youtube which detail/compare the suspension components between the 2023 and earlier years. I really can't speak to the difference between the LR and P models. But many report that the 2023 suspension changes in the P have definitely dampened the ride, especially at...

    We are indeed fortunate and blessed! If the MYs lose 50% ($3750) of tax credit on 4/1, I will feel that I got the performance upgrade practically for free. Many view the MY LR as the value play. I was in that camp. However, when I took a closer look at what the MY P includes, I think it...

    Yep, never even seen the inside of a Tesla before. Crazy, perhaps foolish, but I am so happy that I went forward with the purchase. My vehicle has a few very minor panel gap issues, but I'm not going to let that bother me. I was so worried about the possible things that could go wrong during...

    If you really can see yourself being happy with the MYP, it's probably worth a shot. Maybe one of the MYPs in No CA will be rerouted to you. By the way, it worked out for me. I made the change on 3/17, and the MYP that was delivered today was actually produced that very day.

    This may be a dumb question, but are you modifying your order in your account? I did so several times, and my original base price did NOT change. Get in contact with a SA if you have any further issues with modifying your existing order.
