    Model Y trunk space question

    I don’t have any other pictures, but I can try to catch one? Honestly, they pretty much just lay down straight away. They can’t stand fully upright at the very back, but pretty close up at the seat. It’s definitely cozy for 2 dogs, but they’ve done fine on 30+min trips, like to the vet or a...

    Model Y trunk space question

    Here are a couple pics of our greyhounds in the back of the Y with seats up. Not a ton of height to stand, plenty of room to lay and be comfortable and adjust as-needed. Light colored guy on right is over 70lbs, brindle girl on left is like 65 lbs. Biggest thing for us is a tether that hooks...

    Model Y trunk space question

    Dog will be fine. Our 2 greyhounds seem perfectly happy in the back together, so no concerns about one. They can't both fully stand and turn and move around all at the same time. But they can stand up and rearrange around each other. There's always a few minutes of negotiations about...

    What will you name your Model Y?

    Nice! My 3 is named So Much for Subtlety, my wife's Y is Unwitting Accomplice. My short list included Prime Mover. Hers included Charming but Irrational, Problem Child, Little Rascal.

    With so many quality issues after delivery - how many people are actually happy with their car?

    I already posted about our new Y, but just an update. It had one problem that I wanted fix, but wasn't a deal breaker: the furthest forward point of the front right fender stuck out noticeably. I really just wanted to make sure they acknowledged it, because the fender definitely rubbed the...

    Model Y Trade-In Values, decreasing? Bait&switch? (Trade In: Model 3)

    I don't know if you've noticed, but the economy has changed a bit since April. There's been a lot of stuff going on, but maybe you haven't noticed? Their offer changed after 2 months, during one of the most dramatic economic upheavals in history. Shocker. Tesla doesn't care about your sales...

    Performance or LR-AWD

    Get the Performance, sell the 20" wheels, buy whatever wheels you want. People will buy the 20" wheels, no doubt. I sold my 20" wheels with like 18k miles on them the same week I posted them, replaced them with Vossen.

    Good or Bad Sign? Picking up MY this Tuesday, June 30.

    As others said, it's just because you're in California and close enough to the factory to get it by the end of the quarter. If you had decided to wait and order next week, you wouldn't be getting it nearly as quickly, more likely 1-2 months. Plenty of people have been getting great cars. We...

    Model Y Trade-In Values, decreasing? Bait&switch? (Trade In: Model 3)

    LOL, and Tesla sales associates have never, ever, been wrong or misinformed about anything. Good one, dude. They're sold used Teslas at auctions, and will continue to do so. Tesla doesn't give 2 shits about their used car business. It's a side hustle, at most, nothing more. They want to...

    Model Y Owner for 24 Minutes

    Losing regen and traction control sounds like a wheel speed sensor, or something similar. A single wheel speed sensor being loose could easily do this. Resetting with steering wheel buttons had nothing to do with this, that was just a placebo, lol. A full power off might've helped, but you...

    With so many quality issues after delivery - how many people are actually happy with their car?

    Took it the car by my detail/PPF/ceramic place today. I have an appointment next week for PPF and ceramic, but wanted to get their opinion on if it was more serious than buffing could handle and if I needed to involve Tesla before doing any work on the car. They spent 5 minutes on the worst...

    Model Y Trade-In Values, decreasing? Bait&switch? (Trade In: Model 3)

    Used car prices have been a roller coaster the last few months. And are projected to continue to be a roller coaster. Tesla doesn't want to be in the used car business anyway, they're probably just taking the car to the nearest wholesale auction and don't want to lose money on it. Plenty of...

    With so many quality issues after delivery - how many people are actually happy with their car?

    Just took delivery in Fremont an hour ago. It's honestly 99% perfect, and no dealbreakers. Hood and the bumper near hood look like they got compounded to remove scratches and not fully polished out. Should polish fine. In exactly the right light, there are also about 3 spots on the hood...

    Best interest rate via Tesla financing?

    First offer was 2.49 from US Bank. Emailed to inquire about Chase, they only offered 2.44. I said don't bother updating the paperwork, just leave it at US Bank. 100% financing, credit score >815.

    Best interest rate via Tesla financing?

    Is there a way to change the loan terms on the web? I click through the buttons, but it doesn't actually update the math, so I'm not sure that it's actually changing the terms successfully. The rate came back so low, I want to go to 100% finance and use the money I would've put down towards...

    Large Dogs in Back, Seat Up?

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. Both retired greyhounds. The little one in the back is a retired racer, she washed out as a failure after 3 races. The big one in the front is a retired hunter: they use greyhounds to chase down and kill coyotes, so that’s what he was trained to do, but he...

    Large Dogs in Back, Seat Up?

    Hello all, hoping a Model Y owner can shed some light. Currently I drive a 3 and my wife has a Prius. We have 2 big-ish dogs, 60-70 lbs each. To take them anywhere, we take the Prius. With seats up, one goes in the back and the other goes in the back seat with a hammock/seat cover. We're...

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    People are now starting to receive them as the referral reward from the old program, and I've seen a set posted for sale already in a facebook group. There will be purchase options, I think. I think the set I saw was posted for 2600, but I couldn't find it right now to confirm.

    light hearted request... your car name? - and why

    So Much for Subtlety. One, it's very fitting for a red Model 3 Performance. Two, taking a page from Elon's book, it's the name of a ship in the Culture series. Other Culture ship candidates that would make good car names: Prime Mover, Youthful Indiscretion, New Toy. There are some others.

    Likelyhood of bending 20 inch performance wheels

    I live in the bay area as well and also try to avoid potholes, but I still had 2 rims mildly bent. Still usable, but slightly bent. I felt like it's a matter of time, so once I needed new tires, I went ahead and got new forged wheels.

    Vendor Anyone looking for custom wheels at a great price?

    Hi there. I'm looking for wheels for my Performance Model 3, and thinking about either Vorsteiner VFF-107, or Vossen HF-5. I am leaning towards 20" staggered. My biggest concern is that the wheels be stronger than the stock 20" that come on the car, since I have multiple wheels slightly...

    Insurance rate increased. Anyone else?

    In Bay area and just got renewal notice from Geico as well. Total policy went up 43%. Most of the premium was already the Model 3, so the rate for the 3 must've gone up over 50%. I'll calculate the exact increase for the 3 and comparison shop this weekend.

    Vendor FS: Vorsteiner 20" VFF-109 Wheels for Model 3 *Special Pricing* *RESTOCKED*

    Happen to have any pictures of a zara gray 109 on a red Model 3? My stock 20s have picked up a couple of small dents. I'm assuming these would be tougher than the stock wheels vs potholes and such (but the 20s will always be somewhat susceptible, I know).

    Emergency Lane Departure - False Positives

    There was no setting in 8.5. Nothing to turn on or off, this was just happening with no explanation. LDA and ELDA supposedly didn't exist in 8.5, but there it is. Note the video shows a RED line, and note that it turns the wheel. This is ELDA. Read the release notes: LDA shows a blue line...

    Emergency Lane Departure - False Positives

    Here's a video reproducing the ELDA behavior on SW 8.5:. Note my second paragraph: perhaps they have changed the circumstances for triggering it. Perhaps they opened it up too wide now. But it had been there before.

    Emergency Lane Departure - False Positives

    So much hand wringing over ELDA in 16.2... It was there in earlier software too. I experienced it on 12.x, and other people reported it as well. They documented it in 16.2, but it was already active earlier. Perhaps the circumstances for triggering it were narrower, but it was there.

    CA HOV decal front bumper

    That is probably legal. White was the last color under the old law, red was the first under the new law. The new law made white stickers all expire at the end of 2018. So to not screw the people that got whites at the end of the old law (people were getting white stickers even into the...

    CA HOV Stickers

    Windshield wipers are horrible, and arguably dangerous

    I love the auto wipers, haven't touched the setting in months. My windshield is coated, I'm sure that makes a difference too. But with the coating, as it is now, I 100% love the auto wipers.

    Model 3 Roof Rack Options

    It does not stay on for months, so if you're looking for permanent, then that doesn't fit. But it seems several people in this thread wild be ok with not permanent. The rack goes on and off in seconds, which is fine for me even if I'm using it multiple times a week. Worth it to keep the car...

    Trying to use CHILL mode but...

    I feel like Chill on my P3D+ is slower than my Prius. It's probably not actually, but that's how it makes me feel. Too slow. Sport is fine, but I wish there was a Normal in between those 2.

    Crazy process of getting quotes for NEMA 14-50

    I'm leaning towards using the dryer buddy. If I don't use the dryer buddy, I will likely use a short extension, because the location of the plus is a pain to get to behind the washer and dryer. And, if I wear out a short extension cable, it's cheaper to replace than the outlet.

Another didn't want to do it without upgrading the whole box, which he ballparked at $4k, but I told him not to bother doing a full quote at that ballpark. I'm renting the house, so I'm going...

    Bike rack that fits a Model 3?
