One benefit of the years long delay is that when it finally arrives it should be a V3 Supercharger! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have yet to stop at a V3 Supercharger in Texas.

Congrats on the Tesla. I know you will enjoy it. If Tesla is serious about putting some type of service center in Lubbock (and it appears they are), then hopefully a Supercharger will follow. The Supercharger has been "planned" in Lubbock for over 5 years now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Your Tesla...

I'm not sure what's going on up there. The fastest charging now (non-Tesla) is one station at the Harley Davidson dealer (charged up our BMW i3 pretty quick, not supercharger quick, but quick). For Tesla's the fastest option is La Quinta on the NW part of the Loop. They need a Tesla...

I was at the Ft. Worth service center last Monday and mentioned Lubbock and the service advisor responded they were in Lubbock recently scouting locations. He said he didn't know what type of facility they were looking at for Lubbock, but they are looking. Now, anyone that has been...

That is very promising indeed. A service center in Lubbock would cover Amarillo, Lubbock, Midland, Odessa. That is a significant population base and cover the gap in Supercharging. It is frustrating having to go to San Antonio or Ft. Worth for service.

I picked up my Model Y LR this past Saturday. 2/14 build date. Has all the updates except for the head lights. I have not seen a LR with the updated headlights yet. Just the Model Y Performance.

Only took a couple at the delivery center thus far, then drove home in the rain.

That's my plan when it comes time to replace the tires that came on my Model Y.

I was able to make passes safely, and very quickly, with the power of the Model Y. I'm very happy with the performance. I'm just shocked at how much faster I was able to charge and get back on the road compared to my Model X. Now I know the refreshed Model S/X are supposed to charge...

For sure, completely subjective. And I do only have a short drive in it thus far, maybe its because I was expecting something so very harsh that I was pleasantly surprised. I do care about ride quality. With my 2020 Model X Performance I went with the smaller wheels and just powder coated...

This is oil country and the roads here take a beating, but potholes are the biggest obstacle. I only have 361 miles on the Y thus far (From San Antonio to Andrews), part of the ride home took me through 5 miles of unpaved rough road between Ozona and Big Lake and the Y did fine.

Reading all the complaints about the Model Y ride harshness had me a little concerned before I bought one. I picked up a 2021 Model Y LR today with 19" wheels and the ride is fine. Can't speak to the Performance version ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh, and I was a little concerned after reading all the complaints about the ride quality (many finding even the LR too harsh). It rides fine to me, not harsh at all. I purchased the acceleration boost before I left the Service Center. Has plenty of speed and torque for me to enjoy.

Ok, made it home. It has the old style headlights. I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla kept the new adaptive headlights on the Performance models. I actually think they should to help justify the price difference. Has the heated steering wheel and new style console and double pane...

Old headlights

I’m still waiting. It didn’t arrive at the store until last night (was supposed to be there at 6 am). Was told my build date is 2/14 and it left the factory on 2/15. They asked me to take two hours for lunch as they work to get it ready. They are also installing the home link kit I...

Here at the store now. Haven’t seen my Model Y yet. However, I was wrong about the 2/9 build having the older headlights. It is a 121k vin and a Performance Model Y and it does have the new headlights.

I read that thread. I'm pretty sure I saw a Model Y with a mfr date of 2/9 with the old headlights yesterday. I pick mine up today (pickup time moved from 10:30 am to 5:00 pm...GRRRRRR). Mine was supposed to be built on 2/15 so we shall see.

The Porsche Taycan forum has a lot of complaints of 12V battery failures, bricked cars, failed main batteries, multiple software issues, condensation in tail lights, etc.,. Curious enough, not one person complains about Porsche build quality. I currently own two Porsches by the way (and have...

Unfortunately no. My previous two had unlimited free supercharging. With this one I used my own referral code so I guess I'll get 2,000 miles or something like that?

Great review and I agree on all fronts (looks included). The Mach e is receiving a lot of good reviews and it seems like a great first effort from Ford. I'm glad to see more options in the EV market. However, until another manufacturer builds out their own charging network Tesla will...

Not at the showroom area, but I did find an "overflow" area across the interstate that had several new Tesla's and I found 4 standard range Model Y's there. Brand new.

I am picking up my 3rd Tesla tomorrow morning a 2021 Model Y LR. I went by the showroom this morning and couldn't fine mine anywhere. I have a home link kit and asked that it be installed before I pick up tomorrow. Service indicated they were pretty busy, but would get it done for me...

Tint looks great. That is always my first customization on any vehicle I buy. Tint and front PPF. Then wheels.

Acceleration Boost? Notice a difference?

That's great! I'm glad everything went well for you. I pick mine up this coming Saturday! I miss Autopilot!

Same, I wonder if they will refund the negative amount automatically?

I am picking up my Model Y this coming Saturday. I'll call to see if they will reduce the price, if not I guess I'll cancel and re-order ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyone else notice this? The SR is gone from the Model Y order page and the LR base price has dropped 1k . If one has ordered a LR, but not taken delivery, anyone know if Tesla will adjust the 1k price?

Mine is scheduled for pickup 2/27. Vin 125,2XX. Model Y LR, Blue ext, white interior, 5 seats. I've requested confirmation on the updated components but haven't heard back from anyone.

I know on my X if you pressed and held down both buttons on the steering wheel while pressing the break pedal it would perform a hard reset of everything.

Is there a convertible EV available? I'm not aware of one. I'm sure there will be some in the next few years though.

The roadster is tempting, but for now I still enjoy going through the gears as one would say. That's the reason I sold my most recent Ferrari (no manual transmission). My first Ferrari had a gated manual (huge mistake selling that one). I would say a Roadster is in my...

Same situation here, but I know I'll drive my convertible during good weather. My bride has a Range Rover and I have not been able to convert her to EV's and don't see that happening anytime in the future. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know when I got my first Tesla a (2014 Tesla Model S P85) it was all I drove and soooo much fun. However, after awhile I missed the "visceral" feeling of driving my sports cars. I've always had a manual transmission convertible sports car. This is my third Tesla, and in between I have...

I'm a little concerned as well. But, I have also read several reviews where people fine the ride just fine. It won't prevent me from purchasing one though.

Did you receive any of the updated parts (console, headlight, heated steering wheel)? If so, what is your VIN?

The new console yes, I don't think the rest of the updates will be available thought.

The new one does not have the shiny gloss finish and the wireless charger is supposed to be better. Also, the design of the door and how it slides back is preferable for some. I've seen some posts about people preferring the old one, but the majority (including myself) prefer the new...

Also, updated headlights are starting to roll out.

Purely for the fun factor. No other reason. I'll buy it for sure. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm really not sure. I typically get PPF on the front of every car I buy because rock chips are an issue where I drive most of the time. Opinions are mixed on ceramic coating. One could always try the DIY kits. Here is a picture of my two previous Tesla's looking clean and sharp...

Yes, LR, awd, blue exterior, white interior, 5 seat layout. No tow option.

LOL, I've never driven a model 3, but only hear great things about them. Not surprised it sold so quick. I am not super picky. Cars have never been as scrutinized as much as Telsa's are (panel gaps, paint issues). If people went over every car purchase like people do Tesla's there...

How far are you from the Tesla location? I'm about 350 miles.

Yes for sure, I'll purchase the acceleration boost as soon as possible. I've already ordered the home link kit. I thought it would be done via software update but I received a fedex tracking number for something related to it? Who knows. I also want to purchase the old style key fobs...

I sent a message trying to confirm that mine has the updated headlights, console, and the 82kw battery. I was told it was actually in transit to Texas and I would receive a reply once it arrived. It it has these upgrades I'll pick it up as soon as it is ready. If not, I'll wait for one...

I love black, but after having several black cars over the years I am no longer interested in the maintenance to keep it looking sharp. I would pick your favorite color and go with it. My first Tesla was black, my second was blue, and I just ordered my 3rd which will also be blue. I...

There is something about waking up to a "fully" charged car each morning, not having to go to a gas station, and the instant torque cannot be beat. I also love the stereo system in Teslas. Oh, and I love autopilot. Having said that, I do "need" the visceral experience of my 6 speed...

I have warped logic. I had a 2020 Model X performance that I picked up in December 2019. I also had a Ferrari at the time. I was uncomfortable having a 130k vehicle as my daily driver so I sold it after 7 months (lost a ton of $$$) and bought an Audi, but apparently I have no problem...
