    Anyone with a lower RN# than me?

    With Tesla, hopefully there are a lot more security checks. I’d assume I can just cancel in my account and it would be credited to the card I have on file. But I still wouldn’t want my exact RN associated with my online persona. The amount of data being gathered everywhere for every reason...

    Anyone with a lower RN# than me?

    Er…. Not Sure how important the actual reservation number is. What matters is the time stamp on your order. And then of course, your location and how Tesla‘s internal logistics planning determines who they invite. I could swear Tesla already confirmed order numbers were not entirely...

    Serious frustration with recent updates, features lost...

    Correct. Air direction and vents have always been manual. This is about controlling airflow. The display tab for rear climate control in our car shows a power on/off button and an auto button, both greyed out. That’s it. Nothing changes if people are seated in the rear or not. Air blows out...

    Serious frustration with recent updates, features lost...

    Not sure what your'e asking about specifically between your two pictures. But your rear controls screen is already different than mine. You have a toggle for the rear fan. My on-screen button for the rear fan looks like the on/off / Auto of the front controls. Shows the power symbol and Auto...

    Serious frustration with recent updates, features lost...

    We were able to adjust rear vent airflow separately until a recent update, I don't know for sure which update. I think it actually disappeared with the interface overhaul. You are right that there's only one AC system/compressor. But even if we turn the front vents/fan all the way up to 10...

    Serious frustration with recent updates, features lost...

    No, it's the Y, nothing to do with a physical rear screen, which as you point out the car does not have. I was saying when you pull up the climate control screen and hit the "Rear" tab, they have removed the ability to control anything. Since getting the car 2 years ago, we've been able to go...

    Serious frustration with recent updates, features lost...

    Not sure exactly which recent updates removed all the features, but I've been having conversations back and forth with Tesla service people and now someone on their software engineering team. Am I the only one who cares that the rear fan/ climate controls were removed recently? That's the big...

    Hummer EV

    GM is actively testing three prototypes of the Hummer EV. Two have incomplete front grilles, but are fully functional otherwise. The third and newest is 100% complete and looks just like the reveal mock-up, but is fully functional. The incomplete mules are currently doing cold weather and...

    any updates on the official dimension of cybertruck?

    The earnings call a week or so back gave us some little tidbits and Elon had a couple post-call clarifications that I haven't seen anyone really mention here. CyberTruck design has changed a bit, but is now final. Less reliance on folded steel exoskeleton and utilizes some new cast structural...

    Blog NHTSA Wants to Talk to Tesla About Half-Circle Steering Wheel

    So, a race style steering yoke in place of a wheel is acceptable on exotic cars, but suddenly not acceptable on a high performance sedan? OK, got it. I think...??? That said, I'm not so sure about it either. How can I lazily cruise with one hand on top of the wheel when I'm now forced to...

    [Vote]- Will you buy Hummer EV instead of Cybertruck or Rivian?

    I have deposits on the R1T and CyberTruck... Two different offerings for sure. I won't buy the R1T until they bring out their 400+ mile high capacity battery and then we'll see how it prices out. CyberTruck looks massively capable, but will wait to see final design adjustments and such...

    Current owners... new thoughts on 3rd row space?

    If they do a 3rd row in the Y, they will have to make a version with a longer wheel base to accommodate. If they do it in the current version of the Y, it will be two jump seats sized for small children, placed facing the rear. And they may still have to move the 2nd row forward a couple...

    What will Tesla do if...

    No. I said that Tesla's connector is no more proprietary than any of the others out there. In retrospect that is actually a poorly conveyed statement. With the possible exception of the IEC Type 2 connector (EU Standard), Tesla probably has the least proprietary connector out there as they have...

    Advantages of Wall Connector vs Mobile Connector?

    True that. Gen 1 & 2 had 24' cables. I forget that the Gen-3 is shorter.

    What will Tesla do if...

    Tesla's connector is no more proprietary than any of the other connectors out there. In fact it's less proprietary as they openly and freely license their standard. As they have by far the largest and most capable charge network in the US (as well as most everywhere else), it really would make...

    Advantages of Wall Connector vs Mobile Connector?

    Just wanted to add a little summary for clarity for the currently available charging options... Gen-2 Universal Mobile Connector (UMC), comes with your car and can charge up to 32A, provided you fit it with the right NEMA adapter and plug it into the appropriate outlet. Comes with adapter for...

    All weather floor mats

    I personally like the Maxpider ones, but waiting to see the final version for the Y. A friend of mine has them for his 3 and I don't like what they did on the 2nd row mat. They should have the spill-catcher bulge closer to the outside edge and the mats need to extend under the seats in front...

    Please help. Insurance

    I'd say his question was both rhetorical and sarcastic... Agreed. Some insurance companies do struggle with this though. They often have to use certain submission apps or forms from their underwriters that are not kept well up to date. On a lot of new vehicles, especially when it comes to...

    White Model Y - is the lighting playing tricks on me?

    That depends on local requirements or laws and varies. Tesla takes the returned vehicles and puts them in inventory. From there I'm sure each one is addressed individually based on the situation and then again based on where it gets moved to and sold. If the original buyer transferred plates...

    White Model Y - is the lighting playing tricks on me?

    While I don't have any of the directional mismatches, funky color shifts, or splotches on my white MY, the paint still isn't that great. Ours looks good, but there is some overspray of the clear coat, some thin spots, some swirling... The pearl white on the Y overall is nowhere near the same...

    VIN posted this afternoon. Potential rejected vehicle?

    They don’t build VINs in exact order. Your Tesla rep can tell you the build date of a specific VIN. Anything within the last few weeks to newer are pretty good. It looks like Tesla had a rough patch for 2 weeks after reopening the factory. If it’s the car you want, go see it. Most issues...

    Key fob vs phone reliability

    Had our Y less than a week, use phones for keys (4 of us). Got my wife a fob anyway. Have not had to use keycards other than to pair the phones or the fob. I keep a keycard in my wallet in case of phone issues.

    Perfect MY

    Wanted to report a 'perfect' Model Y delivery. My parents took delivery of a MSM / black AWD with induction wheels last night. One issue - driver's door has to be shut harder than the other 3 doors for some reason. Latch seems to need adjusting, but other than that everything is in alignment...

    Help! Unannounced (and early) Tesla Delivery - I don't know what to do

    End of quarter push may have a bit to do with it. But this really comes down to your delivery advisor. They totally dropped the ball. Sadly, some of them are just not good at their job. They should never have set up a delivery, let alone a home delivery, without confirming an appointment...

    Perfect MY

    Congrats! Yeah, the later VINs being made recently are a lot better -- according to my delivery guy. So your rear seats are in alignment? That's the only issue we have with our Model Y and it's so slight no one would see it unless they looked for it. I just happened to look. I noted it in...

    Rejected White/White PUP today Chicago

    These pearl-coat paints are a problem for this. It's not a different color, but the direction the doors were painted is different than the paint direction of the rest of the car. Unless they can find someone to take it without noticing, they'll have to repaint the doors, probably the whole...

    Adding hitch option...

    If you change your build options now, it would be the same as canceling and placing a new order. So that can affect your place in line and it would also affect your pricing if you ordered a while back when the car and FSD were a bit cheaper. You can add the hitch after you receive the car for...

    Model Y Delivery - My Full List of Build Issues - How Serious Are These?

    First off, I wish people would quit saying all this is typical. Tesla is delivering thousands of these cars and the majority of them do not exhibit all these issues. One issue on here is common -- the mismatched rear seat. Tesla is aware of this, it affects the Majority of Model Ys and they...

    CO - Whole body PPF & Ceramic coating?

    3D Maxpider Model Y Floor Mats

    I think I'm ordering a full set of these for the new Y, but might hold off to see the fitment of the 2nd row. Reason being, a friend of mine has the Kagu mats in his 3 and I really like them except for the 2nd row... The raised section is inset too far from the outside of the mat around the...

    Tesla Selling the Tow Hitch at the shop

    If you need to tow more with the 20" wheels then you would need to swap out tires. Not sure of the load rating on the wheels. Pirelli makes Sottozero and Scorpion Verde tires in the correct 20" size and higher load rating. The Goodyear F1 A/S tires that come on the 20" Induction wheels are...

    What are the things that cant be "easily" fixed after deliver and should warrant a "refuse delivery"

    Most panel gap issues or trim gap issues can be fixed without too much effort. Also keep in mind that gaps around the car come in varying widths for certain reasons and functionality. I think there are too many people who think all their gaps should be a perfect 3mm in width or something...

    Any Colorado deliveries post factory reopen?

    So less than a day into this and already have some stronger opinions of the car, our decision, etc.. We absolutely made the right choice, for us anyway! I was still unsure whether or not I made a mistake by selling the X. We LOVED that car. Sure, the X is not without its flaws and quirks...

    Model Y Owner for 24 Minutes

    Returning this car was the right thing to do. And yet, it probably isn’t a major problem to fix. But don’t get discouraged and hope you’re willing to give it another shot when they can match you with the car you want. FWIW, I’ve bought two ICE vehicles in the past 15 years where I had to...

    How come noone is talking about JDPower report from a few days ago?

    The other reality of it is, most delivered vehicles are pretty good or even problem free. Tesla has easily delivered over 12000 Model Y’s, they’re issuing VINs over 24000. How many complaints do you actually see? It’s the same with any other car or consumer product, more people go online to...

    Any Colorado deliveries post factory reopen?

    Quite a few Model Y’s on the lot. I didn’t stay and investigate all due to the weather. A transport truck showed up empty while I was there and they started loading up cars. They had an older Model S with the nose cone loaded first and they were starting to load another car when I was pulling...

    Any Colorado deliveries post factory reopen?

    So I took delivery of my White on White, LR AWD, 20” Induction, FSD Model Y. I am happy to report that VIN #1759x is flawless in every way except for two small things. One is a non-issue, it’s the directional paint matching of the bumper. Which is very slight, only visible in some lighting...

    Model Y - Pedestrian Warning System

    They're not installing PWS at this time because it is not required anywhere yet. Most car makers are against it, as are many consumers. It's not that they don't feel a pedestrian warning system couldn't be beneficial. It's that the proposed requirements and legislation is both non-specific or...

    Sure. Actually just removed the X from my sig... I sold it yesterday. Only a few hours away from our Model Y, hopefully. I know there are some comparisons between X and Y already out there. Although it seems the couple I've seen are a bit weird. I don't necessarily agree with many people in...

    Took delivery in Scottsdale, AZ yesterday

    Congrats! Love the MSM with white interior combo. We pick up our white on white Y this Friday. There are center hub caps available for the Gemini wheels for when you take the covers off. I don’t have more details than that, but I’m sure there’s a discussion or two around here on it. Getting...

    Model Y Tradein

    Like others are reporting our original trade amount that we accepted was deducted from the total price. We were invited to make final payment before delivery and it showed the balance in our account. This is automatic as soon as they put the MVPA in your account. I almost paid it, but figured...

    A truck full of Model Y’s was delivered to Superior just before noon today. They were unloading it as I drove by. Two white MY’s spotted and I’m pretty sure mine is one of them. I couldn’t stop at the time and then on the way back, it seems they have moved or positioned where they’re inside...

    Ford Mustang Electric SUV

    I almost reserved one, but figured I want to see one and get a few questions answered first. But I’m hoping it turns out to be a great car. The industry needs more good electric vehicles. Ultimately, I’d love to reserve one, but it seems the motor efficiency isn’t up to what Tesla is...

    Any Colorado deliveries post factory reopen?

    Windshield crack on delivery inspection

    They should be able to get a windshield replaced before they can get a different vehicle. But you should ask them what the options are, they may be able to get you a car sooner if you’re willing to accept a different configuration. By law, they can’t deliver/ sell a car with a damaged...

    Rejected Tesla Model Y Performance Delivery (6/18/20)

    Yes, I would have rejected as well for the dent. That should never have been presented to the customer that way. Other than that, it looked pretty good. In all the pics, I only saw one thing that I would consider an alignment issue and it’s a simple fix. Can’t tell much of anything about the...
