Just took delivery on a 2024 MYLR, along with 10,000 free supercharging miles. Not sure how this program works. I just charged at my local Supercharger (across the freeway from my housing area), which went fine but I got a charge note for $8.96. Is this removed from my account when billing...

I took delivery on a new MYLR last week and am trying to figure out the parking assist. After 107 miles, the cameras are hopefully calibrated, but how do you tell? I'm unable to upload pics to this site right now, but what I see in my garage or at a supercharger is gray clouds around three...

I've been "thinking" about getting a Model Y for several months. First, I waited for the 2024 model to see if anything changed, then I waited to see if Juniper was on its way. Recently, I decided to quit waiting. Last Tuesday, I put in a preliminary order online for a MYLR, stealth grey, 19"...

Anybody seeing 2024 VINs?

I don't see where your screenshot confirms it's not LFP. The low voltage battery is Li-ion, but that doesn't tell you what the high voltage battery composition is. Vistan

Has anyone been assigned a model year 2024 VIN (10th position = R)?

I have the same question. However, I think the 10th position in the VIN for 2024 will be an "R", skipping the "Q", just as "I" was skipped. Vistan

I think that the 10th position of the VIN being the model year applies to all Tesla vehicles, but I have not verified that. The R=2024 is based on the fact that 2023 Teslas have P in the 10th position and the assumption that Q is being skipped, as was I and O. Perhaps someone with actual...

I want to be assured of getting a model year 2024 (10th VIN position = R) Model Y. When will such a car be available for ordering and when could it be delivered (Carlsbad, CA)? Are cars delivered in SoCal built in Fremont or Austin?

I went with the gloss finish on the $117 spoiler I got on eBay, but I'm not sure there was a matte option. Keep in mind that most of the black trim on the S is glossy. Check the rear lower bumper insert in particular. Vistan

I took delivery on 1/27 and was on 2021.43.??? for just over three weeks when updates started coming in. I'm now on 2022.4.5.3. I think there is a hold on getting updates when the car is first delivered. Vistan

Took my 2022 S LR (NF468xxx, delivered 1/27) into the Carlsbad, CA Service Center today for an appointment made at delivery. They satisfactorily repaired two minor paint flaws on the right taillight edge and a third minor flaw on the trunk lower corner edge. They also gave me a trunk interior...

No, have not seen the yoke symbol...

Ho Effing Ho... Seriously, how do I get from TACC to TACC + Autosteer? I think I'm following the mode selection rules, but it ain't working... Vistan

I can successfully get into auto Traffic Aware Cruise Control with one push on the right scroll wheel, but when I try to go onto Lane Keeping with two pushes, it dumps me out and says I have not selected the correct option in the Autopilot screen. I have. what next? Vistan

I bought a cheapo ($117) carbon fiber (fake?) spoiler off eBay. Shipped quickly, packed well, fits well, looks good! There's a bunch of them on eBay - I suspect there's one or two shops in China making them and dozens selling them. This spoiler actually sits on top of the trunk edge, but has...

Picked up my Model S LR this afternoon from the Carlsbad, CA Delivery/Service Center. As far as I can tell so far, no problems except a paint blemish/repair on the lower edge of the rear tail light, and another minor one on the trunk lid lower inner edge. Did NOT get the lower trunk cover. I am...

Busy afternoon! About noon, I noticed that my S LR EDD had tightened to Jan 26 - Jan 30! Wait a second, that starts today! In swift succession I got two texts from Tesla (one asking for payment), the VIN (NF468), and a phone call from the Carlsbad Delivery/Service Center. They had the car in...

You and I are in the same RN1151 boat. My March 20-31 EDD was recently changed to Jan 24 - Feb 7. As the EDD opening date arrives, Tesla moves it back to a couple of days later (it's now Jan 27). I called the Tesla 1-888-518-3752 number that has been cited as good info in these pages, and got...

OK, but my issue is: Where is the 326-mile software/firmware upgrade?

Don't drive it a lot - 4819 miles, 269 Wh average.

Finally found the ID plate on the left side of the rear motor case - it's a "980" motor.

I have a fairly early (VIN 632x) 2020 Model Y LR. I have never been able to get the indicated range above 300 miles, despite fully charging and discharging. I thought there was a firmware or software mod that increased range to 326 miles or so. Can anyone point me to a fix? Vistan

How do you verify if your Model Y is the Performance version? I bought one of the early Model Ys as a standard LR. However, the assigned VIN is coded as a Performance version. The VIN digit #8 is an "F" which corresponds to "Dual Motor - Performance (Designated for Model Y)". I am in the...

My "February" EDD, received last Saturday (Jan 8), changed to "March 20 - March 31" this morning. Tighter, but further out...RN11514x. Vistan

EDD changed from March 8/April 5 to "February" yesterday morning. Texted SA to see if he had a more definitive date. "Nope". Vistan

After being locked in at March 8 - April 5 since early November, this morning my EDD shifted to "February". No dates. Vistan

Disclaimer: This is NOT a Model S delivery story, but it may be of interest to us in the S group, especially in view of EOQ deliveries: My next-door neighbor, after driving my Model Y, ordered a Model Y in Oct/Nov and was expecting a Feb/Mar delivery. A few days ago, he got an EDD of 28-31...

Update for those interested: My Trade-In estimate for my Model Y of $44,000 expired on Sep 30. Got a new estimate of $42,900 today after adding about 200 miles the past month. Still have a blank EDD since 9/18. Vistan

OR, you can take a length of duct tape, sticky side out, roll it up in a ball, and stick it forcefully on the cap. Then give it a jerk... Vistan

At the request of my SA, I submitted data and pics of my 2020 Model Y LR for a Trade-in Valuation. It was delivered in May 2020 and has less than 3600 miles on it with no dents, dings or scratches. Original cost $56,290 including MSM, black and white interior, destination and documentation...

Make a ball of Duct Tape (sticky side out), press the ball against the cap for several seconds, quickly pull the cap off. This may take a few tries... OR, drill a small hole in the cap ( hopefully in a non-obtrusive place), stick an L-shaped pick tool or hex key in the hole, grip the other...

RN115140xxx MS LR White Exterior/White Interior 19s/no FSD Ordered 6/12/2021 Original Delivery October 2021/Revised Delivery February 2022 (as of 8/10/21) Base Price $79,990, No Increases (yet)

The next time someone spots a refresh S with 19" wheels in the DC's parking lot, please pop off the wheel cover and take a pic of the underlying alloy wheel. A useful way to distract bystanders is to shout "Hey, Look! A Squirrel!" and point at a distant object...

@JeffR Share your request for pics of the current 19" alloy wheel. Vistan

I also would prefer the silver alloy wheels. Take a look at my 2020 Model Y... Vistan

I thought the issue with the 19" wheels is "what color is the underlying alloy wheel?" It appears that some observers have noted that the wheel cover has changed color from silver to grey, but I have not seen anything that addresses the wheel color itself changing from silver. How about some...

@Dcher: Out of curiosity, when exactly did you pick up your Plaid at the Carlsbad Delivery Center? Based on your posts, I drove over there (4 miles) at 2:30pm to catch a glimpse, and stayed til 3:15. The Tesla staff knew nothing about any Plaid delivery (or at least would not say anything)...

@Dcher: Where are you? Vistan

@Dcher: What happened? Vistan

@omarsultan: I never hear the Pedestrian Warning System sound in any of your low speed yoke steering demos. Is it installed? Vistan

@omarsultan : I may have missed this in earlier posts, but page 82 in the Owners Manual discusses the Pedestrian Warning System (if equipped) that sounds when the car is moving at less than 19mph. I've not seen this discussed, or heard any such noise, in numerous Plaid videos. Is the...

Just ordered Model S LR on 6/12/21. Got an email from Tesla "Virtual Order Support Team" giving an expected delivery in September-October. Vistan

I'm a new poster to this thread, but not to TMC. I've been lurking here for several months and finally decided to order a Model S LR. Within hours of completing my online order, I received an email from a Tesla "Virtual Order Support Team" member for San Diego, Las Vegas, Hawaii, and Palm...

Again, I hate to jump into this fray because I have no dog in this hunt. BUT, is there a remote possibility that there is a completely new Model S coming down the pike? New body, new interior, etc. We've been concentrating on the Model S mules and looking for slight differences; but they may be...

Jumping into this fray with zero knowledge, BUT I live in Vista, CA and a few hours ago I passed by an auto hauler loaded with new Tesla X and S cars. I presume they are new because at least the Model S's had the front license frame mounted. I pass this on because the hauler was just a few...

Here's mine:
