    Alert for leaving phone (key) in car

    I meet a friend for lunch every week. When we get out of our cars and start walking towards the restaurant, he hears the horn go off on my Tesla and then he remember he forgot to lock his Ford. It happens nearly every week.

    Can I inspect interior before accepting delivery?

    I picked my MYLR this week and the SA said we are not supposed to give you the key before you accept it on the app, but she did anyway. She was really easy to work with.

    Convenience trades?

    I picked up a MYLR this week and trade-in my 2007 Lexus RX350. Tesla offered about $200 more than Carvana, so I took their offer. I don’t believe they even looked at the car. They were just moving it while I was driving away.

    Austin build?

    I took delivery a MYLR this week and it was an Austin build. No matrix lights, but the build was perfect. I could not find any issues. I was very pleased overall.

    Virginia Waiting Room

    MY MYLR was delivered at the Norfolk location on Monday. It was an Austin build and I had no issues. The lady that handled the delivery was excellent. They took my trade-in at the agreed value. I don’t think they even looked at it. I could not be more pleased with the entire process.

    Odometer ready on new delivery

    My MYLR came in this week. The lady who handled my delivery told me the paperwork normally says 15 miles. New cars will always have 15 miles or less. Mine was actually 6 miles.

    Matrix Headlights on LR Y?

    How accurate is trade in value?

    When a car dealer does not want the car they lowball you. They will only take it at their price. I sold my 2019 Corvette in October. Carvana offered $8K more than Carmax.

    Thank goodness for Tesla dashcam

    Amazing what Tesla Sentry Cameras picks up. The YouTuber Wham Baam Teslacam has posted 100s of videos of crashes, crimes, vandalism and other crazy things that have been caught on video from Tesla owners. https://www.youtube.com/@WhamBaamTeslacam

    That is great it got caught on camera. Good luck with the situation. When things calm down, you can send the video to Wham Baam Teslacam on YouTube. 🤣

    White/White Model Y Waiting Room

    Same here. I ordered on 1/20, but keep getting pushed farther out. I'm at 4/12 - 5/17 now. I was thinking about switching to 20" wheels, but I decided to just stick it out and stay with what I ordered.

    Went to order a Lyric, Long lead time - switched to model Y

    I placed a reservation last August and never heard a peep from Cadillac about placing an order. I ordered a MYLR in January, so I will need to seek out a refund from Cadillac. I am sure can spend it on accessories for the MYLR.
  18. M

    My order is in pending cancelation after not replying to the three day delivery schedule msg on time.

    In my area inventory is building up, but they are all 7-seaters. My thought is people who ordered 7-seaters to qualify for the tax credit are bailing, since they did not really want the extra seats and pay an extra $4K. With the change, now they do not need the added expense.

    What have you done to your Y lately?

    Did the 19s make much of an improvement in the overall ride?

    Car Care for Black Tesla - non PPF or Ceramic Coating

    Car wax is your next best bet. However, if you can wax your own car, you can apply a ceramic coating which is a better long-term solution. Plenty of YouTube videos explain the product choices and how to apply it successfully.

    Changing Color changed delivery date ?

    The real issue with inventory cars is they can disappear wicked fast, especially if a highly desired combination. Going to the local dealership just adds time to the equation.

    White/White Model Y Waiting Room

    If you change it in the app that just changes your original order. You might get matched up and assigned a VIN at some point. You also may go back to the end of the line. If you want an inventory car, probably best to contact your local area SA or text Tesla at the (510) number they texted you...

    do you tip the mobile service tech?

    A tip may be money well spent the tech had to come back out for another service call. It might be the difference in being given an excuse that the issue is within spec and getting it down under warranty. Many times these are judgment calls.

    Paint protection film

    Sounds like a good way to go in your situation, especially if you can save money by buying the materials and doing it yourself.

    Paint protection film

    I had XPel PPF on my Corvette. I can appreciate it on a garage queen type car for those who can afford it and want to keep it pristine, but I’m not sold on it as a daily driver. PPF is not Kevlar, so you can still get rock chips. I got a very noticeable one on the nose my Vette just after 3...

    Virginia Waiting Room

    I got lucky. I went by the SC after lunch on Tuesday and no one was there. The SA told me they did not have someone scheduled for a demo for about 1.5 hours. He answered my questions he did me a solid with an entire hour demo. I will have to admit the MYLR was a blast to drive on a pure joy ride.

    Virginia Waiting Room

    I test drove MYLR yesterday for a hour with 20" wheels. I thought they were fine overall. I do not think I will actually make the change from what I ordered. However, if one came up in inventory tomorrow with my colors with the 20" wheels I would not hesitate to take it.

    Inductions and Potholes?

    I stopped by my local SC yesterday and they let me take out a Model Y for a hour test drive. I did not think to look before I drove off, so I did not realize until I got back it had 20" wheels. I thought they were fine overall and I would take them if an inventory car became available with them...

    Virginia Waiting Room

    Understood. I was thinking doing something similar switching from 19" to 20" wheels. I have seen a number of posts where others made that switch and their VIN was assigned a few days later. However, I am concerned for the same reason you mentioned creating a new reason to be delayed.

    The Floor Mat Decision - If It Helps Others

    I ordered Autailors mats for the front and backseat off Amazon. I ordered 3D Maxpider for the tailgate area mats. I was able to order those off of the Walmart website. Free shipping and delivery time was about a week. Price was better than most places. If you are looking for 3D Maxpider...

    2023 Model Y Unacceptable Build Quality and Issues

    Very disappointing to read this and that the OP has had to deal with such piss poor quality control on his car. I wish him all the best in getting these issue resolved to his satisfaction. On a positive note, I ordered my MYLR about a month ago. I recently stopped by the local SC and was able...

    My configuration is the same as yours. Interesting that your EDD is much earlier than mine. I’m in VA, so maybe you are closer and a lot of Teslas are in CA.

    What cars did you quit looking at or cancel once Tesla dropped the price?

    Lexus NX350h - I have had a RX350 for 15 years and and I really wanted the NX hybrid. However, my local Lexus stealership is insisting on a $5K markup and I refused to pay it. Never even considered a Tesla until the price drop hit the news. A week later I placed an order for a MYLR. Finally, it...

    2023 Model Y Long Range Disappointment in boominess after Demo Drive

    I have taken 2 test drives and never experienced any boominess. I have owned 2 Corvettes over the last 13 years and the instant torque in the Model Y is impressive.
