I get a similar sound on my model Y. Did you ever find the cause? It sounds like something is loose and sliding forward to backward during driving. The sound is like a brick in a box and brick slides from one side of the box to another and makes a thump. I wonder if it is the battery...

@Jdizzl11 sorry about your car. Finally took delivery today. Met @Curious Nomad who took delivery at the same time. Had a few minor issues. Paint was chipped on right rear door and had touch up applied poorly and white touch up paint was on the black door handle. Windshield wiper prayers...

I don’t think you have many options. Unless you want to cancel your reservation there isn’t much you can do. The employees know your car is now worth more than what you paid for it, and their attitudes reflect it. It’s a sellers market and we just have to deal with it. I understand your...

@Curious Nomad I’m taking delivery on Monday at 11am also. LoL. See you then. They texted me and asked if I was bringing my final check. I said I already gave it to them 2 weeks ago. Then they said they found it. They’re not the most organized. Flying back from Vancouver myself. Hope...

VIN 4/25. 4/30 update waiting for parts. 5/3 told the car and the parts were on the lot, they just couldn't make the delivery. Today 5/6, they offered next Tuesday 5/10, but we're traveling then. Delivery then scheduled for 5/16. Disappointed that they had to wait so long to make the...

@Curious Nomad I was just at East Sahara. They had multiple white MY with Gemini wheels and black seats. One is probably yours. Looks like they’re ready to go. I asked about mine. They said it’s in the back lot waiting for a part install. Ironically the lot staff admitted that the...

App shows April 30-May 4th. Every day it changes by 1 day. So tomorrow I expect it will say May 1-May 5.

I got my VIN on 4/25. Today I was told via text message with the local sales team “Your vehicle currently has a part hold, this part will take approximately 2-3 weeks to arrive.” Bummer. I was hoping it would arrive this weekend. OD 9/20/21. VIN 4/5/22.

That who I financed with. 1.79 for 3 years.

Got my VIN this afternoon. Didn’t have it this morning. 426xxx MYLR White/White/Gemini/all stock

@last2ndshot and @Curious Nomad We're all in Vegas. Did your EDD change today also? Mine was April 16-April 30, and today it changed to May 12-June 16th. :( If I read your previous posts correctly, you're both getting MYLR with black interiors and Gemini wheels, right? 2ndShot is...

I’m in Vegas also. I have the same EDD as you. Hopefully we will get new closer ones soon.

My EDD just changed to June 13-July 25. It was 3/17-3/31 on March 17th. Order date was 9/20. :(

Mine just changed too. Was March 17-31 (for the 2nd time), now back to April 26-May 31. Very disappointing.

My EDD was updated last week to 3/17-3/31. Previously it was April-May. Also for everyone holding out for the 4860, I'm sure you saw the new EPA news... https://electrek.co/2022/03/13/tesla-launch-model-y-279-mile-range/ Looks very likely the Texas 4860s will have shorter ranges initially. Odd.

With all these delays occurring (mine was pushed back as well), there is a possibility they are updating the Fremont line for 4680s. Hopefully that is the case. If it is the cause, the delays could get worse. It is odd they don’t want to deliver these cars before the end of quarter.

My September order just got delayed again too. Order date: 9/20/21. EDD was March 2-30, then today is changed to April 21-May 19. Maybe they are revamping the assembly line for 4680s, or maybe more people order Performance models than expected. If they are changing the assembly line, that...

Is your driving on the “faster” side? It normal to loose 5-10% in the first year but you’re reporting slightly over that. The car computes range based on its average w/mile. If you’re prone to enjoying acceleration, that will reduce your range projection. But someone else could theoretically...

Just had my both my condenser fans replaced. Sounded like auscultating or out of balance sound, or possibly bearings going out. Definitely louder than it has been over the last 4 years. Service said they needed replacement. 2016 S 90D. 39k miles. Just barely out of warranty. $648 out of pocket.

Mine still shows pay per use. I wouldn’t mind a free upgrade for those us who paid more last year.

Hi there... I've already done a search but I can't seem to find a conclusive answer. Has any successfully downgraded their Center Console S to the older style yacht floor? I've got a 2016 Facelift S with the center console. After driving a loaner with the Yacht floor my wife and I have...

No doubt the 19” look better. I have the 18s. The hub caps are ugly, but the efficiency is hopefully worth the slight eye sore. If I wasn’t a cheapskate, I’d have gotten the 19s.

On a curious note the center arm rest in the model S is just wide enough to fit an iPad horizontally propped up so so that kids can watch it in the back seat. We use a head phone splitter for headphones and they watch movies when we go to Legoland and Disneyland (or any long drive).

I took my kids (5&7 at the time) to our S delivery 2 years ago. Tomorrow they’ll our 3 delivery. Tesla is fine with it.

I agree with dsvick. There is no evidence I’ve seen that new owner orders get priority. I’m an owner and I ordered on launch day 2 years ago. Non-owners still got their cars before me. My belief is that Tesla will maximize profits by selling to whomever will order the most expensive car first. I...

That’s interesting. I wasn’t aware that it only slowed down the 2nd car to plug in, not the first. After reading up it looks like you’re correct. That doesn’t mean the “don’t park next to others” logic is false though. Like you said, you’ve got a 50% chance of picking a stall that won’t slow...

Well done.

Double oh what, is right. Check more super chargers. Also remember superchargers work in pairs. If you look you’ll see that they are numbered 1A, 1B, 2A 2B, and so on. If you’re on 1A and someone else is on 1B you’ll both be sharing power and will get reduced amps. It’s considered supercharger...

Just got my VIN. Las Vegas, NV Ordered launch day Model S owner Configured 2/17 VIN 3/23 M3, Aero, Blue, no EAP. 72xx My guess is they’ll try to deliver before 3/31. Cutting it close.

Do you mean Config 3/23 VIN 3/23, or config 2/23 VIN 3/23. If the former you’re super lucky.

I’m with LVAcrobat, lump Vegas into the California pool. Model S owner, configured 2/17, no VIN. Blue, Aero, no EAP. Standing by. Prius is waiting to be sold to grandma.

Model S owner, Configured 2/17, Las Vegas delivery, still no VIN. Expecting it any day hopefully. Lots of people who configured after me have been assigned VINs but it does appear they are all mid-west or east coasters. Hopefully west coast is coming any day now. I suppose they could hold off...

Hmmm.... I configured on 2/17 and I’m a model S owner. I ordered Blue, Aero wheels, no AP and still no VIN. I didn’t believe in the wheel batches but this kinda adds to that theory. Plus they may be prioritizing on AP vs non-AP to generate move revenue. Congrats on getting your VIN. Post...

I unfortunately had to spend some time in the auto sales business after college. Trade ins are the most lucrative avenue for sales revenue. Buy low, sell high. No dealership will ever give you more than high KBB “trade-in” value. They’ll try to get you to take less. If they offer more than high...

My wife is willing to part with hers. It's brand new in the plastic still. We've never used it. I'll message you.

Website is totally unresponsive right now. All the reporters and TMC members are crushing it LoL.

Thanks for posting Fred. I hope you are right about the new hardware. Any new tech is good for Tesla and we all want to see them succeed. If it is true, does it mean that their relationship with MobilEye isn't over yet?

This could be all hype. Tesla recently announced they are breaking relations with the Israeli MobilEye manufacturer and that they will be making their own hardware in house. This either means they have their own hardware ready, or that they will be using MobilEyes new hardware, or they don't...

We use thermal cameras at work a lot. Although they do see engine heat, the main thing you see is temperature difference between objects. Regardless of a Model S having a vastly reduced heat production, it will still look very similar on a thermal camera due to the variation between cars surface...

You would not want the car the keep the extra 10kw of energy "stored for emergencies". That would negate the 60s advantage of charging to 100% daily without battery damage and negate the faster supercharging. It's much better to keep the unused 10-15kw empty. That's my whole reason for wanting...

Please post back your findings hybridbear. I agree with others, there is probably 56kwh of usable battery on the software limited new 60. The reasons already listed for this are logical. I think the 60kw Model S is an awesome car. The ability to charge to 100% daily makes owning a Model S...

Assuming that the lines and other lane markers are correct as you stated, the 1st thing that comes to my mind is something being picked up on the radar. It's even possible a nearby university or airport is causing feedback in the radar receiver and that causes the computer to want to slow down...

You can solve issue 3 and 4 at the same time by creating another driver profile called "Exit" or something. Set the seats back, the steering wheel up and turn off "walk away door locks". Then just switch to this profile when you are in the garage. The only con to this is you can't use this...

Thank you

We have the premium interior light package. My kids noticed there isn't a light underneath the front passenger seat to illuminate the right rear passenger footwell. The left side rear footwell has one. Is this normal? I looked for a light under the right seat to see if maybe the bulb was out...

Ouch, they must have been looking at their cell phone and when they saw the cars moving on their sides assumed the front was clear as well. What a drag. I had an incident recently also. My wife noticed a weird sticker of a cloud on the front windshield. It was right at the drivers eye...

Autonomous semi-trucks would be awesome, but I'll settle for just electric ones. Given the complex details of backing up trucks, I don't think any truck drivers will be out of a job in the next decade. Also, truck drivers do fairly well, I was thinking they make about 2x your $32k figure, but I...

Now I have an internet stalker. Creepy. This thread is out of control. Garlan's last post makes me seriously uncomfortable. Obviously Sorka and Garlan aren't going to be convinced, so any further discussion is pointless. I won't be reading or posting in this thread again. From 5 Most...

I'm done with this thread. I should have followed this advice of the people who messaged me. Sorka I think you're so desperate to not be wrong you can't back down. Now you're saying I unknowingly turned off the Autopilot 1 minute before the event. The only way that could happen is if I...

I just selected the Audio ON option within the blackvue C app. I'm not sure there is anything else to it. When you compare the weakness of my audio volume, with Sorka's higher volume, and your "no volume", I wonder if blackvue has a quality control problem with their microphones. I even...
