Finally stopped raining so I could take a picture of the Y I picked up on Thursday! 😃. Just Super Liner floor mats, Spigen screen protector, a can of Slime Rescue (fix a flat), and of course, the orange logo decals so far 😁 Meet Torangey…

That is odd. I’d chalk that up to a dumb automated message. I had uploaded my 3/25-9/25/23 ID card and they complained that they needed one that showed my pickup date, so I uploaded the 9/25/22-3/25/23 one a week before my appointment. In PA I also needed to bring a paper one for them to get...

My kids (6, 9, and 11) love the third row! Just picked up the car today, but having a blast already. Certainly haven’t mastered the seat controls/mechanisms yet, but we’ll get there. Only folded the 2nd row seat down a couple times when trying to just slide it forward 😂

Picked up MYLR W/B/7/19” today. Other than the rain was a pretty good experience. Car looked really great, no big gaps, nothing missing, loose, etc. (and I verified no water leakage 😉). Only found a section of smudges/scrapes on the head liner above the passenger seat, but the SA cleaned it...

Looks great! I like those fog light eyes. What does the honeycomb front grill look like?

Yes! Luckily already planned to getting my credit union check Thursday morning (actually delayed it from Monday) and have plaid all setup for paying the down payment. Maybe they know I tend to procrastinate and gave me an early date (3/21) to make sure I got my stuff together and then a...

Today got a text, “you’re car arrived early, can you pick up tomorrow?” Heading there tomorrow afternoon! 😅

This is my first experience with local credit unions. I saw a few in the 5’s and wasn’t sure it was worth the hassle of joining, applying in person and picking up a check vs. having it all done in the Tesla app. But a 1.85% better rate saves a few $K so I went for it. They have been super...

Well, just to close the loop on my story, thanks to Tesla’s delivery delays my original Tesla financing expired and so I scoured the earth to find a better rate than the 5.59% Tesla was moving to if I re-applied. I was blown away that I found a local credit union with a 3.74% rate. Applied...

My daily look into the tax credit turned this up: https://www.whitecase.com/insight-alert/us-and-eu-commit-making-deal-electric-vehicle-subsidies-unveil-more-cooperation-green Mentions, “In the next few weeks” for guidance. Certainly, nothing official, but the article also details how terribly...

Is this Beta Advanced Full Self Driving? 😜

Might not be related, because the issue also seems to be with locking/sleeping, but I believe there’s an unlock setting which only unlocks the driver door first and you have to press unlock again for the rest. Could verify that isn’t set. Isn’t there also a “home” configuration where sentry...

The drama continues. Made an appointment Thursday for 3/21. Today got a text…”due to slight delays your car won’t be here on the 21st, please reschedule for 24, 25, or 27.” Called and they blamed a shipping issue due to weather. Maybe snow out west? This is infuriating. There is no way...

What a day. I just got off the phone with an SA who texted that their earliest deliveries each day are at 10:30pm. PM! He repeated that to me on the phone too. For some reason the Pittsburgh office isn’t using the self-scheduling link. It took a phone call to get an appointment set, because...

Haha! Never. 😛😉

I’m near Pittsburgh, but saw on Google maps that West Chester was a location and added it to my list of zip codes to check for inventory since Tesla only allows PA buyers to buy inventory cars already in PA. But I’ll be picking up in Pittsburgh.

I just scheduled for the 21st! I should drive down to D.C. and take some Treasury people out to an extra extra long lunch on Monday. 🤣

I wonder if we showed up to the delivery centers like this To direct traffic and volunteer to unload cars, maybe we could move this along 😂

I’m on the opposite end, my EDD started today (the day they expected it to arrive) and for the past week including yesterday, when I text about scheduling delivery they say, “it is in transit and they will schedule delivery when it gets closer.” Hopefully I’m not caught up in a rail car issue...

Agree with this, especially that it is a minor annoyance that certainly could be improved upon. I constantly get “matched” to cars across the border in OH which I CANNOT get because of the state registration/sales restrictions Tesla has. I pretty well immediately learned to ignore this...

21” wheels means theirs is a MYP, which has more different from a MYLR than just the wheels. MYP are only made in the Freeport plant (don’t have to leave Texas and come back in like Austin builds). MYP is also a much more profitable trim for Tesla, so they tend to get priority. Those are few...

Looks like Volvo got a similar memo…

Seeing articles about recent trade developments that may impact the mineral source guidance the IRS is contemplating. Looks like Biden has met with EU leaders about trade deals that would make batteries that use their minerals qualify for US credits. Looks like they aren’t looking to use more...

I have no idea. I can’t explain with any certainty how Tesla does their “inventory” I wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t even built yet. My guess is that 1.) Lots of people switched to MYP after they qualified for credits and these are 7 seaters people ordered when they were the only cars...

Oh snap. EDD moved UP this morning! now 3/16 - 3/25! Haven’t heard on scheduling my appointment yet, but maybe soon 🤞

Those 20” 7-seaters are showing up in inventory all over the place for the past week. Hope this week starts the changeover to start seeing some 19” ones. Anybody gotten delivery of a 19” 7-seater in the past week or 2? Post if you do, I’m hoping they are at least in transport.

As long as you are going straight and not turning. This is great info. Tesla insurance isn’t available in PA yet, but I’ll look into it once/if it is.

The rest is filled with electricity! 😝

Here’s to 20 good years in your new Y. Best of luck with getting back into remission. Thoughts and prayers for your next 18 weeks. Thanks for helping us keep some perspective. 🧡

Holy cow. There are 41 MY 7-seaters on Waiting for Tesla right now. 40 of them have 20” wheels though. All different color combinations. If that matches your order and you’ve been pushed to April/May, might be worth a look.

“Matrix lights to the MOON!” 🤣

You really need to start writing in English yourself instead of using AI or using translation. This article was absolutely painful to read and provided zero additional information that was not in the title.

I got a text from 510 this morning: “Hello! In the days prior to the vehicle's arrival (3/16), you'll receive a SMS message with a self-scheduling link embedded…[blah, blah, have insurance before pickup, blah, blah]” Is this a standard text? Has anyone else got one similar? Does this mean...

It’s really that there’s a lot of variables and can be like comparing apples to oranges. One pollutes one way, but not another, so the focus gets put on the areas that are obvious. Maybe someday! 🤞

Good article. Seems like they kind of ignore battery mineral mining effects. I’ll have to read up on what is included in “battery manufacturing”, but it seems like this is saying, for example, lithium just appears at the store for manufacturers to use in manufacturing like ground beef at the...

I will wait for April if I get 2 Tesla MYs

I vote yes and yes “Discussion: Experiences Renting a Tesla”

Always 🤣. I was trying to figure out how they could screw up the Tesla key cards…like hole punch and connect two and make it almost impossible to lay flat behind the cup holder 😂

They got them 20’s 🤔🤣

PA or PF are the 10th and 11th characters in the VIN. Most people leave off the first 9 characters because those are mostly the same for everyone in the model Y threads. They encode manufacturer, model, fuel type, # doors, etc. starting with the 10th character: P= 2023 (confirms these are all...

For sure. Last year I was refinancing my house at an amazing rate! 🤣 Here is more of my recent 72 month loan search: New or Used Auto Loan & Refinancing - myAutloan has 4.99%, but it looks like a loan aggregator site that’s going to call me a thousand times as soon as I enter my info...

Awesome list. I would add at least one accidental turn on of the windshield wipers looking for the lights.

Thanks!! I did Tesla financing to start, but that rate keeps creeping up, so looks like if that expires before delivery, I’m probably going to go with a local CU, if I can. 5% seems about the best I can get. But if it causes any delay I’ll just go with Tesla’s higher, 5.59% rate since the...

I did a Turo rental of a MY last year and got the full app shared access/experience setup by the owner. Was my 2nd experience with a Tesla (first was a M3 test drive) and it was glorious. He pointed me to the getting started videos, prior to the rental which were helpful. I believe that those...

Posted over in the cool kid 7-seater waiting room thread, but figured I’d post here for all the 5-seaters to see too… Got my VIN today! MYLR, White/Black, 7-seater, 19” wheels OD: 1/16/23 EDD 1: Feb - Apr EDD 2 (1/18): 2/25-3/31 EDD 3 (2/26): 3/19-3/31 VIN text (3/6): …PF7036… Tesla Vision...

Yup, 6 months is pretty standard. It will auto-renew after that as long as you have a payment method on file. I think they do it this way so they can charge you more every 6 months and hope you never notice. It will typically end up being almost twice as expensive within a few years and then...

Is there even such a thing as weather between Freemont and Portland? I always hated the math problems that started…”If one truck leaves the Tesla factory at 10am on Saturday…”

This is a crap shoot. If one happens to pop into inventory at your location that matches your new spec, then you get it faster, could make no significant difference to what would have been your actual delivery date, or could push you out to Q2. We’ve seen it all and every day is different.

Looks like my Tesla financing will expire before I get delivery cause I thought I needed to complete that part as not to delay my order. 😒 Looking around today for best 72 months rates and found these: PenFed.org: 5.34% Starone.org: 5.49% Tesla: 5.59% Anybody know of anything better?
