    I'm interested in this as well if anyone knows of a shop in DFW area that can install?

    North Texas waiting room

    I’m scheduled to pick mine up Monday morning. Has anyone been following other threads to know if there are common quality issues to look out for? It has been 5 years since I got my last Tesla and that delivery was very rushed, no test drives, etc. Been burned on the “within spec” on a past...

    Best interest rate via Tesla financing?

    When they matched mine the Final Payment section just had a check mark next to it and I was able to expand it to see the details. There was also a new Lending Agreement file under documents. I seems they took the rate match request as my a acceptance which was fine with me. I did email and ask...

    Best interest rate via Tesla financing?

    I just asked for clarification on whether this was a new policy and also shared that I knew others that were matched so was trying to understand what was different. They replied that the terms were on the site but that they would make an exception for me. I did not ask anything further 😉

    Best interest rate via Tesla financing?

    I think it is luck of the draw. I did eventually get matched for 1.24% 72 months after going back a couple times.

    Best interest rate via Tesla financing?

    I received the 1.24% 65 months from DCU which I thought was pretty standard and what others were using. I would have been fine with either Tesla’s 60 or 72 but they did not offer either in their response. I’ll try again.

    Best interest rate via Tesla financing?

    I’m having trouble getting Tesla to match: “The term must match unfortunately. Our lenders offer 36/48/60/72 month terms only. Please provide an updated approval document that matches one of our lenders’ terms so we can review for a rate match.” Any tips on how to get past this?

    North Texas waiting room

    I received my VIN today! EDD 8/12-8/18. (LR, Midnight Silver, 19”, White, 7 seats Ordered 5/25 and completed profile same day) Does anyone know the process to change from cash to finance? I initially planned to pay cash but there are some good rates out there so thinking to finance now.

    I think you are probably right unfortunately. I’ve called a few times though and they don’t seem to be able to acknowledge or correct it.

    Any May orders still waiting on a VIN / delivery? LR, Midnight Silver, 19”, White, 7 seats Ordered 5/25 and completed profile same day EDD says 8/12 - 9/1 The only odd thing I noticed is I received a second ‘confirming your Model Y update’ email on 6/17 but I had not even been in looking at the...

    Did anyone else's change to October overnight? Previously showed 7/22-8/11. Ordered 5/25 7-seater (deposit since 2019 which does not really seem to have any impact on priority).

    General "Should I Wait for Upgrades" Thread

    Can you confirm it is actually active and you can turn it on? There seems to be some question here as to whether it is just coming with the hardware and they may charge later to activate or it is actually functional now?

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    I made a second attempt at replacement after getting the usual runaround a month ago. I had timestamp/video of screen blacking out temporarily and this time they replaced. Relevant section of service invoice below. Concern: Something else - customer states: I continue to experience issues with...

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    Wow, I did not realize how difficult this would be to get fixed. I guess the only ‘easy’ path is upgrading to MCU2?

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    I may just pay for it to save myself further frustration. Announcement is still relatively new though so I’ll give it a little bit. It is just the principal of it all - really hoping Tesla will eventually grow up and do the right thing. Of course I’ve been down this road before with the...

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    I tried to schedule a service appointment after the notice was published and described all of the usual symptoms. They contacted me today and said their diagnosis says it is fine and these are ‘other software issues’ that they are releasing fixes for. I said that’s great - what release will...

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    It will be interesting to see if they offer discounted MCU2 upgrades related to this issue. At $1750, which someone previously got, I would consider it.

    Charging Issue: HPWC or On-board Charger

    Very helpful - and nice to know I'm not the only one dealing with some sporadic! I've been thinking along similar lines of it has something to do with sleep as I have never seen a single failure when set to charge right away. I had not considered the MCU. I struggle to reconcile that it both...

    Charging Issue: HPWC or On-board Charger

    I thought I had heard, and possibly read on the forums, that the 2nd gen Wall Charger only had a 12-month warranty. However, I just stumbled across this page on Tesla's site which shows "48 month warranty". Second Generation Wall Connector Can anyone clarify for me?

    Charging Issue: HPWC or On-board Charger

    I did not look at those leds unfortunately. Only one time I recall, and I believe it was the loaner, things were so 'dead' that I had to turn off the breaker to the charger to get it out. That was not normal even when the overnight charging failed though. I have only seen it happen when I...

    Charging Issue: HPWC or On-board Charger

    I am having a intermittent issue charging using my HPWC. I usually have it setup for scheduled charge at 3am. Occasionally, when I went out in the morning and the vehicle was non-responsive. After trying to turn it on I will eventually get some message like “unable to charge”, “car needs...

    Pirelli tires for 20s

    Thought I would share my experience in case anyone else stumbles upon this thread and is considering Pirelli's. I went with the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus as well. They were $926 including installation at Discount Tire. My main concern was the noise switching from 'ContiSilents'...

    Nexen tires?

    I'm looking for all-season tires and have not been thrilled with the Continentals. Has anyone rolled the dice on these Nexen tires? Reviews on Amazon are good but who knows what reviewers are comparing them to and I have not seen much elsewhere. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QJ6NJ4I...

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    How did things turn out for you? Similar offer here....I pay for the windshield ($930) and they would install it no cost. I still have trouble accepting that I need to pay to resolve their quality issue. Tesla's handling of this issue, especially their BS statement about 'within spec'...

    Tesla owner configurations begin

    Well, if they are really inviting owners that reserved a week ago then that certainly gives credence to the view that they are through most of the owners. It also reinforces to me that my reservation is still screwed up. Owner, 3/31 pre-reveal reservation, still not invited:( Been talking to...

    Tesla owner configurations begin

    There could be a couple contributing factors here. 1. While Tesla has opened up configuration to many owners, there seemed to be quite a few that did not receive an actual email notification. Believe it or not, there are people who do not follow this thread daily and did not know to sign in to...

    Tesla owner configurations begin

    I hope so but I think non-owners are still a ways out. There are at least several owners on this thread who are still showing March-May and Tesla is not exactly known for hitting the early side of estimates.

    Tesla owner configurations begin

    It is interesting the AWD shows “Choice of 220 or 310 mile range”. I assumed it would only be available LR. I wonder if you will really be able to get it with the standard battery by the timeframe indicated which shows earlier than base model for most people. I’m also curious if AWD standard...

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    Same here. I never felt there was much of a reason to push until they actually had a fix. It be interesting to see how SCs handle it especially as this becomes more broadly known. Let’s hope they do the right thing. It will be very disappointing if they stick to the “within spec” BS.

    Tesla owner configurations begin

    Does anyone have insight into how priority will work once they release other configurations such as standard battery? Assuming that both owner and non-owners have been invited to configure at that point - will it simply be based on configuration/order date at that point? or will there still be...

    I just called and was fortunate to get someone who seemed really squared away. He was able to see the difference between what their portal was showing for me vs their back-end system. The shortest way I can describe it is that I reserved under a different email (typing too fast), later made...

    Are there any other US owners on here who reserved 1st day and still not able to configure? I reserved online pre-reveal (within 2 minutes of site opening) and have owned an X since July 2016. I’m in TX. I just checked site again and still not able to configure. Delivery Estimator dates...

    Rotating tires on an X? Annual service fail...

    These are 20". I check tire pressure every few months or whenever significant weather change. I don't recall any big variances but will be keeping a closer eye on them in the future. Also going to have the alignment checked. Tesla said their warranty does not cover tires. Sounds like I'm...

    Rotating tires on an X? Annual service fail...

    They checked my tires when it was in for uncorking and noted one was worn enough it needed to be replaced. Measured tire tread depth at: (Outer) (Center) (Inner) LF: 6 6 6 RF: 3 3 3 LR: 8 8 8 RR: 5 5 5 I've had it about 1.5 years. Admittedly I had not looked into rotating them. Is this wear...

    I’m not sure if this will make you feel better but not seeing much in TX either. Existing owner, reserved online 3/31 within 1 minute of opening, no invite.

    Buttons to open FWD are gone after 8.1 update

    I just saw a similar thread on reddit where one owner received a second update after 8.1 that resolved the issue. It was version 17.11.10.

    Buttons to open FWD are gone after 8.1 update

    Same issue here. I do not believe it is limited purely by sensor data as it will not even full open when outside with no obstructions. Has anyone else tried theirs outside? I spoke with main tech support yesterday and they had no clue. I discussed with my service center today and sent...

    Glossy seat backs + kids

    I ended up doing XPEL on just the driver/passenger seats (~$275 total). I don't use the 3rd row often so just plan on making the kids take off their shoes. It sounds like people have had good luck removing scratches and restoring with polish so can do that as needed as well.
