    Screen defects

    I did screen cleaning mode for the first time and saw these shapes in the screen - can’t clean them off. Now when watching theatre mode, dark mode, in some light conditions in light mode,I can really see them. Is this yet another known fault with Tesla? Suppose i should add it to the litany...

    Red MYP delivery. Fremont build. Bad fit and paint. Thoughts?

    So I know a lot of people will be rolling their eyes but I decided just to accept it and get the things fixed myself. I will say I bought this open eyes, and just needed a car. The fed tax rebate thing wasn’t part of the decision or pressure to buy. Either some folks are getting unicorns or...

    Red MYP delivery. Fremont build. Bad fit and paint. Thoughts?

    Looking at every Tesla since deliver I’ve noticed orange peel on every single one, and all over the car so I figure it’s pretty much standard paint condition. I’ve seen the correction steps - not for the feint hearted that’s for sure!

    Red MYP delivery. Fremont build. Bad fit and paint. Thoughts?

    I think I’m going to be accepting of the orange peel and the sealant paint crack under the trunk handle as these are considered “normal” for a Tesla. I’m concerned about them having to realign all fenders trunk and frunk and getting it all completely wrong / causing more issues - or is the...

    Red MYP delivery. Fremont build. Bad fit and paint. Thoughts?

    Looking at a load of MY at the mall today and you’re right, the he orange peel is typical “feature” Also as the cracked paint on the seam is also typical so guess I just accept that. I’ll try to get a better picture of the clear coat. If only they’d parked it closer to the dark house I would...

    Red MYP delivery. Fremont build. Bad fit and paint. Thoughts?

    Red - and it seems to be more than most people with Fremont builds are reporting. On further inspection the car is very orange peel throughout. If this was the standard for Tesla I guess I’d love with it but car detailing YouTubers are reporting zero orange peel. Also- I’m not reporting...

    Red MYP delivery. Fremont build. Bad fit and paint. Thoughts?

    So - against my will - received home delivery of the car. Paint has missing clear coat on drivers A pillar, blotchiness under the paint on rear three quarter. Most panels are misaligned on front and back including of course the frunk and trunk lid. Only panels with good fit are the between...

    Credit Unions with good rates that accept applicants anywhere within the US?

    Tower FCU should rename themselves as Shower of Sh!t FCU. What a shambles of a financial institution. It took 45 days to get the check to Tesla -it should never take more than a few days to arrange a car loan, 7 days tops. After all the usual shenanigans that others have reported here...

    Changes coming, but what does this all mean?

    Teslas used to hold their values well…I’m not sure that still holds true?

    Fun Road Rally in SoCal

    Funny that a lot of the rallies folded in 2020. Seems like the IDEAL thing to do during covid - after the more serious lock downs that is, when the roads were also locked down. Am interested in this and will try to attend the March rally.

    Are Burbank Delivered Cars Off Site or at the SC?

    Trying to plan my day and transport etc just trying to figure out if Burbank cars are collected at the SC, or is it physically off site? I know for a period they were at a multi story car park - there just isn’t the space at the SC. If still off site - what is the address?

    Model Y’s sold out in the Midwest supposedly

    Where are you seeing this? I’m in the Tesla discord and it’s been dead since end of Jan.

    Electrek: - Model Y Sold out for the remainder of the quarter

    It would be interesting to see the profile of the MYs being pushed now. Is it everyone across the board or just the lower optioned vehicles.

    Credit Unions with good rates that accept applicants anywhere within the US?

    Glad you got yours. Applied the same day (with loan approval) and still waiting for membership. Doesn’t help me though. I lost my allocation and am in EDD purgatory waiting for another allocation. I hope tower extend the loan approval from date of membership approval for another 45 days at...

    Credit Unions with good rates that accept applicants anywhere within the US?

    I am not a qualified CPA so would recommend you speak to your CPA discussing your specific situation and circumstances, as this will all factor into whether you can qualify for it or not, and for how much. It may be the case that it would be better for your to pursue it under the consumer...

    Credit Unions with good rates that accept applicants anywhere within the US?

    Jeez, I’m sorry about that. My loan is “approved pending” and membership is “referred” stage. I’m hoping the same doesn’t happen to me now. I did the power of attorney etc then once I did that they flipped me the membership application. It’s going painfully slow. They have been...

    Credit Unions with good rates that accept applicants anywhere within the US?

    Wow. We submitted at the same time. Given the other poster had their application cancelled, I’d rather not risk double the rate with Tesla. I’m not beholden to the March cut off. This is a business purchase so it’s eligible for the full def tax rebate at any time this year. The price cuts is...

    Credit Unions with good rates that accept applicants anywhere within the US?

    Was this the membership application that was cancelled or the loan application? If it was the loan stage, did you get your conditional approval before they cancelled or had you not gotten that far yet?

    Credit Unions with good rates that accept applicants anywhere within the US?

    So it’s not just me. My car has been ready to pick up (within 3 days of order placement) and I applied the morning after I placed my order. It’s now 14 days since I started and they STILL haven’t finalized the loan docs. Try calling them but it’s an hour on hold every time and you never get...

    Xpel Stealth wrap completed

    I think this reinforces my thoughts that the red tri coat is the best of the colors when not modified by a stealth wrap. Maybe it’s better in real life? Blue is by far the best in stealth PPF followed or possibly tied by MSM in stealth. Then white then black when stealth wrapped. Just my...

    Best LA area new vehicle pick up experience?

    Hello all - this is my first Tesla (MYP red and white, with tow)- and it’s actually set up as a home delivery. I didn’t seem to have any real choice in that, it’s just forced me to give them a delivery date. I’ve heard all the stories about QC and am quite particular, and will reject a...
