    Austin Build 2023 Quality Tracker

    Yeah, it wasn't Tesla. I pulled up the invoice just now but there weren't any notes about which body shop. But I remember when I was checking the progress on the service, it stated that it was going to be sent over to a body shop for the panel gap, front bumper trim replacement, and paint work...

    Austin Build 2023 Quality Tracker

    Hey, Everyone. Just wanted to close out my experience with what came out of my 100-mile service. I took the car over to the Alhambra, CA service center on Wednesday, March 8 and got the car back on Saturday, March 11. They were able to address every item listed except for the one to have the...

    MYLR Blue exterior black interior waiting room

    Yikes indeed. I'm not sure what the "law" is in Texas but when I inquired about the odometer reading on my delivered car, Tesla informed me that anything under 50 miles is considered "brand new". By that definition, your car is technically "used". I wonder if you'd be able to negotiate a lower...

    MYLR Blue exterior black interior waiting room

    If you pay using Plaid, Tesla can verify whether or not you have sufficient funds in your respective bank account. But you do not have to pay until you accept delivery of the vehicle. The SA messaged me the night before my delivery date to confirm that I will be paying upon delivery of the car...

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

    tl;dr - People prioritize future proofing for large, long-term purchases especially when it costs the same otherwise Essentially what you had already stated - future proofing. I’m sure once there’s more parity with the number of Tesla vehicles on the road with matrix headlights, the software to...

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

    When I took delivery of my car, it had 22 miles even though the purchase agreement listed 15 miles. I recently inquired about this in my first service request and the response was that under 50 miles is considered “brand new”. I don’t know if that’s by Federal law or by State law (California)...

    The adapter stays locked when the car is still charging to the charge level specified. You can confirm this by the color of the Tesla logo next to the charging port. You need to tell the car to stop charging before you remove the adapter + J1772 charger. Typically, once the car reaches its...

    MYLR Blue exterior black interior waiting room

    Got it. I remember coming across another post that also stated he was denied an on-site pickup because of proximity. Good luck! I hope yours has zero issues. The part that confused me is that my MPVA stated 15 miles but it was delivered to me with 23 miles. In the grand scheme of things, 8...

    Yeah, the weather has been horrible. A number of areas are experiencing power outages too. I had my MYLR delivered from Burbank on 2/19. I regret it. Found a number of interior and exterior issues that‘ll hopefully get resolved come 3/6 at the Alhambra service center. I highly recommend taking...

    Austin Build 2023 Quality Tracker

    I don’t think the type of headlights are embedded intelligently in the VIN. Currently, the only way to determine whether or not your build will come with matrix headlights is if there’s an ‘F’ instead of ‘A’ for the 11th digit to denote it’s from Fremont as opposed to Austin. Again, if Tesla’s...

    My guess is that Tesla has been receiving a ton of inquiries about the lack of expected/touted features. CYA stuffs, haha.

    Definitely will have a cargo cover unless you opted for the 7-seater. Mine didn’t come with mudflaps or matrix headlights. Took delivery of my MYLR on 2/19. PA066* batch.

    MYLR Blue exterior black interior waiting room

    All Model 3 and Y cars manufactured since October 2022 no longer have the USS hardware. Tesla has slowly re-introduced features since its transition to fully leverage its Tesla Vision platform. But there are features such as Park Assist that still have not yet been re-introduced. Those with...

    Austin Build 2023 Quality Tracker

    Just Fremont for now. I’m not sure if Austin is building MYP. If so, matrix headlights are standard with that trim. I’m sure Austin is burning through its existing inventory of non-matrix headlights. I wouldn’t be surprised if they started using them for the deliveries next quarter or the...

    Austin Build 2023 Quality Tracker

    Haha, seriously. All the interior scratches were a surprise and I agree it must have happened when they prepped the car. I'm going to inquire about it at my appointment. This was an Austin VIN. Part of the PA066* batch. Order date was 1/14. Yeah, I wouldn't blame anyone for not taking delivery...

    Driver door interior trim has scratches that can most likely be buffed out Tiny paint chip along the driver's door Misaligned rubber trim along the rear window (passenger side) The trunk's gap along the driver's side is slightly wider than the gap along the passenger's side. But I'm sure...

    Just wanted to share my experience with others. I hope this information helps. It's going to be two separate posts since there's a maximum of ten (10) images per post. I took delivery of my MYLR (Blue / Black / 19" / PA066*) on Sunday, February 19 in Los Angeles, CA. The only delivery option I...

    Austin Build 2023 Quality Tracker

    I took delivery of my car on 2/19. I have a similar issue. When I fold down the rear seats (the 2/3 portion), I can hear something rattling. Sounds like a bolt or two. Already submitted a service request to get it addressed but the earliest date I could get at a nearby service center was 3/6...

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

    Just to clarify, I don't believe the battery component requirement pertains to where the battery is assembled. I'm sure there's some overlap there but the requirement entails that the vehicle's battery components are sourced from the US or countries identified under the free trade agreement. For...

    MYLR Blue exterior black interior waiting room

    Unfortunately, chances are your SA is correct. There were a few members who reported that they were assigned a MYLR from Austin with matrix headlights based on their communication with their respective SAs. But upon delivery or pictures provided to them, they realized that wasn't the case...

    Haha! At this point I'm sure Tesla will use any reason to do so. 😆 Agreed. Only makes sense since I'm sure the considerable shift in customers switching over to the MYP model due to the IRA limit revision put stress on existing inventory. 🧐 Yeah, I understand this has been their modus operandi...

    Just got a response from a SA located at Burbank, CA that Fremont is no longer shipping MYLR with matrix headlights. Austin remains the same. But MYP will continue to be equipped with matrix headlights. Hopefully those who receive a MYLR that originated from Fremont and was built this month can...

    Correct. And for those who have asked about or responded on the battery component requirements, this is according to the IRS IRA FAQ: Q4. Do the new critical mineral and battery components requirements apply? (added December 29, 2022) A4. Not yet. The critical mineral and battery component...
