    Mileage calculations don't make sense

    A small addendum to our NAV experience: for grins I entered Dallas > OKC (shorter trip) and the system showed me a Tesla charging stations about 100 miles from home. Closer than the one it "forced" us to when entering the entire trip. So they system must be taking a broader view than what's...

    Mileage calculations don't make sense

    Our destination was Minnesota. We had planned to take I-35 up through OKC but the NAV refused this route presumably because no Tesla SC close enough. After fighting with it, we took I-75 up through Tulsa and let the NAV guide us. Most of the time I had no idea where we were, not having...

    Mileage calculations don't make sense

    Well, apologies all around for my fuzzy math...That'll teach me not to round up/down. And thanks for all the edifying comments; I've learned a lot from them and from now having taken our 2000 mile trip. Which was long. And had many more stops than I would have preferred, but we are still in...

    Mileage calculations don't make sense

    In preparation for our first long trip in our 2023 MYLR, we entered a routing to see our first charging stop. Warm day, 83% battery showing. Routing said that we could hghway drive 1 hr 20 min (~75 miles) before recharge and that our battery status would drop to 47%. What? Does that mean we...

    And a mere 3 hours after my comment above: 2023.6.11 update arrived.

    2023 MYP software update

    We asked on Mar 30: "Just took delivery of Model Y 3/28. Software version says 2023.2.300 (says "up to date"), but most recent version at Tesla is 2023.6.9 (released Mar 23). Why don't I have access to latest? Will it eventually appear?" They answered on : "You will receive updates for software...

    Buttons and dials... oh my!

    As a passenger 98% of the time, I would love to be able to open the glovebox without touching the driver's screen. Hopefully the Control Bar will include that as a feature.

    Has anyone ever accidentally pocket-unlock your MY?

    Pocket unlocked our frunk. Best to avoid doing this since you then have to go close it manually...

    Leaving Phone in Car while at work

    To (perhaps) help clarify the Airplane Mode/Bluetooth issue, this is from Apple: Turning on Airplane Mode, turns off all radios except for Bluetooth. If you turn off Bluetooth while you're in Airplane Mode, your device will remember that and will turn off Bluetooth the next time that you turn...

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

    Reposting to the intended thread: In happy news, our appointment for our MYLR, W/Bl, 19" ordered on 01/25/23 was moved up by a day. We picked it up yesterday afternoon in Dallas, and successfully completed our trade-in at the same time. Our worries about the trade-in documents (Texas rules) were...

    In happy news, our appointment for our MYLR, W/Bl, 19" ordered on 01/25/23 was moved up by a day. We picked it up yesterday afternoon in Dallas, and successfully completed our trade-in at the same time. Our worries about the trade-in documents (Texas rules) were assuaged when Tesla handled...

    Tesla says " Birthday: Fri Mar 24 9:00:30 2023. The vehicle was not previously rejected, no. Came straight from the factory in Texas." So all looks good & we pick up on Wednesday. Thanks for the suggestions and moral support:D

    Basing the "Austin build" on the "PA" as opposed to "PF" in the VIN. Not sure that there is anything else to go by. Thanks for the other suggestions. We have pinged them for answers.

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

    Curious as to whether or not this is unusual: We got our VIN late last night (03/24/23). We got our text to schedule delivery this AM around 11, so ~16 hours after VIN assignment. Our pickup date is 03/29/23, only 5 days after VIN assignment. This very short window has us a little bit anxious...

    This is what showed up on our "Manage" page. When we clicked the Continue button, lo & behold, we had a VIN.

    We have been inside our EDD for several days now, with the start date adjusting daily. But VIN finally received tonight via Manage Your Order page (no text) and it looks like an Austin build.👏 We are a little stumped on how to proceed as the app is asking us for insurance before we can schedule...

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

    Feels like this scenario would be impossible for those of us doing a trade-in (ICYMI: Trade-in requires THEM to send paperwork to us and for us to UPS the paperwork back to them. Paperwork must be received by them before delivery date; we cannot hand-carry to our delivery). In the case of such...

    That appears to be a page last updated on January 25, 2023 so not the awaited March update yet. IRS Bulletins seem to post online on Fridays; today's does not have anything about the EV credit. Internal Revenue Bulletins | Internal Revenue Service

    Tesla SALES TAX in TEXAS

    Also curious about this. Our payment details for amount due include the language "Includes taxes, fees, trade-in, order fee and payments." We assumed that that included sales tax. If the "car seller does not collect the sales tax", what taxes are they referring to? TIA

    Why do Austin builds "have to leave Texas and come back"?

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

    Does tire size really matter? Disappointed to see that someone in Austin with OD of 02/11 got their VIN today (03/14), while we are still waiting with an OD of 1/25. Per the spreadsheet, the only difference between their "build" and our "build" is tires (them, 21"; us, 19"). I can understand...

    That would be great news for those of us in Texas, but not seeing this trend reflected in the Survey & Order Tracker spreadsheet. Granted the data is limited, but more deliveries seem to be going to the perimeter (CA, MN, East Coast) than mid-country. Maybe Austin has had a slow down?

    EDD for MYLR; Wh/Blk; 19" ordered 1/25 compressed today from Mar 11 - 31 to Mar 24 - 31. Hopefully reflects good news.

    Delivery - Texas

    Our State Farm agent instructed us to call him as soon as we have a VIN so that he can get the ball rolling on building and pricing the policy for us. Then reconnect once we have a delivery date to select a start-date for the policy. We are transferring from an existing SF policy, so already...

    Thanks for the reply, Slyder. What you have explained is what we understand to be the conventional VIN number format. My question is about the "VIN" numbers listed in the Teslike Model Y Survey & Order Tracker Spreadsheet, which are formatted as either "12,345" or "123,456": All digits (some...

    Could someone please explain what the "VIN" numbers in this spreadsheet mean? I see 5-digit & 6-digit numbers with commas. These do not look like conventional VIN numbers, at least as we understand them. Looked through the threads but could not find an explanation. Thanks in advance. Waiting...
