    iPhone Charging using Rear USB-C

    Yup, just tried this and it worked for me. Super frustrating that these cables behave differently. So much for "standards".

    iPhone Charging using Rear USB-C

    I just got my MY back from a Service Appointment, and had told them that the USB-C ports were not working. I had tried to plug in two different kinds of iPads and my iPhone 11, and none of them would charge. When I mentioned to the Service Advisors that the ports still weren't working (I...

    Help from experienced model S owners

    For me, Autopilot is a killer feature that, once you experience it, you can't live without. Especially on a road trip. I found this resource of Model S iterations over the years that you might find useful: Model S - Options by Year - Tesla Motors Club Wiki

    PNW Delivery?

    I picked up my MY this past Tuesday and had a *much* better experience the second time around. Accepted Delivery (2nd VIN) Today!

    Accepted Delivery (2nd VIN) Today!

    Obviously this is highly variable, but I drove away with my MY 16 days after the first rejection.

    Accepted Delivery (2nd VIN) Today!

    I know that it can vary widely, but what kind of range should I expect to pay for this? Would $2300 from a place with a seemingly good reputation be a good price?

    Accepted Delivery (2nd VIN) Today!

    I'll cut to the chase: I drove home today in my new Model Y (blue/black, Induction, no FSD) after refusing my initial delivery. Read on for how my 2nd delivery went and some tips you may find useful. --- 16 days ago I refused delivery of my Model Y and shared that experience on r/teslamotors...

    PNW Delivery?

    Got a phone call to confirm my 6/30 2pm appointment. Needed to re-confirm my loan terms in the portal. Everything is all set, I hope I can accept delivery this time!

    PNW Delivery?

    Just got this SMS message from Tesla: "Tesla Update - We're excited to get you behind the wheel of your new Model Y. Soon we'll be reaching out about scheduling your appointment for June delivery. While you wait, watch Jay Leno's reactions to driving Model Y and a full overview of features in...

    Yup! I rejected my first delivery, so I'm hoping for better luck this time :)

    Refused Delivery Today

    UPDATE: Just got an SMS from Tesla. Kind of implies it's being built or going to be built soon? Wishful thinking on my part? "Tesla Update - We currently expect your Model Y to be delivered between 6/27 - 6/30 and will reach out to schedule your delivery once your Model Y is built. Please...

    Yup! I briefly had a new VIN assigned, but got a call on Friday that the car was not up to their standards. So I'm sitting here playing the waiting game.

    Refused Delivery Today

    Well, it was too good to be true. I just got a call from someone at Tesla telling me that the car I had been assigned was "not up to their standards" for sale. He was clearly aware that I had refused delivery of an early MY and anticipated I would likely reject this one too. So, the matching...

    Refused Delivery Today

    It had been 5 days since I asked for a new VIN and I hadn't heard anything from Tesla. So I emailed my delivery advisor and gently asked if there was an update. He replied immediately and said that he was working with the delivery team and may have found a VIN for me. A couple of hours later, I...

    Improvements in build quality after factory re-opening?

    How does one figure out the build date?
  22. carter_seattle

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

    I recently refused delivery of a Model Y because of quality issues. Here's my take: I don't regret refusing delivery and I don't think I had unreasonable standards. I think Tesla has figured out that many (most?) customers will accept their cars as-is, so there is efficiency in putting them out...

    Walk-around video / Delivery checklist

    Ughhhh! I wish you had posted this video on Friday! I just tried to pick up my Model Y on Saturday, but ended up refusing delivery. Your video would have been so helpful, in the sense it would have confirmed my impressions of the car I was matched to. Your car was a masterpiece compared to what...

    Refused Delivery Today

    Update: Just wanted to let you all know that I emailed the Tesla advisor that initially had emailed me about my Model Y back in April. I'm not really sure if this person is "assigned" to me, and other people had called me about preparing for yesterday's delivery. I don't know if Tesla has...

    My God. The car I saw what so far off from the car in that video, that I can't even process what I just saw.

    Refused Delivery Today

    Well, I've only had a few hours to reflect. But no, no regrets. There's no pressure to take delivery since we have another car and there isn't anything coming up (i.e. road trip) that would have required the new car. Well, it was new to me. I bought my first Tesla in 2017. It was a CPO 2015...

    Refused Delivery Today

    Today was the day that I was finally going to take delivery of a Model Y (LR/AWD/Induction/Blue/Black). I live in Seattle, WA and we (my wife and two kids) drove down to the Renton Service Center for delivery. I was armed with delivery checklist and was mentally prepared to walk away from the...

    FS: 2015 S85D - AP, Pano, Subzero, Air Suspension, Eco Hitch & Roof Rack

    We purchased this car Feb 2017 as a CPO and it has been an amazing car for our family of 4. It has been the perfect vehicle for going on road trips and camping trips, and the receiver (for bikes racks, etc) and the roof rack (for carrier cases, etc) will come with the car. We’ve used the car...

    PNW Delivery?

    Same here. I'm in Seattle and got a call last Thursday (Vegas number) to confirm my info. I also haven't heard anything since. I ordered a blue non-performance w/ 20" wheels. That being said, a member off the local Tesla owner FB page did take delivery of a blue performance Y last week.

    Help me price 2018 Tesla Model S, 75D

    One thing you might consider (I'm doing this for the sale of my 85D) is to get a trade-in quote from Tesla. Then you can tack on $2-3k and consider that you're floor for pricing.

    Tracking Model Y orders

    Just because your reservation number didn't change doesn't mean your "place in line" didn't change. I don't think anyone knows in what order these reservations are being processed.

    Keep my Model S or get a Model Y?

    THIS is an interesting idea! And it really illustrates how blurry the lines are between a modern Model S and the upcoming Model Y.

    Keep my Model S or get a Model Y?

    No issues with the backseat, but 99% of the time it's our 8 and 9 year olds back there.

    Do I buy the Y or keep my S?

    I asked the same question last night: Keep my Model S or get a Model Y? The struggle is real!

    Keep my Model S or get a Model Y?

    Hey folks, I'm pretty conflicted here. I hope you can help me out. I'm a happy owner of a 2015 Model S 85D. We're a family of four (2 kids under 10) and we've owned the car for 3 years. The car has performed really well for us in the following ways: As a daily driver (getting kids to school...

    How much more damage will Remarketing do to Tesla sales before they figure it out?!?

    A question was raised many moons ago: "How much more damage will Remarketing do to Tesla sales before they figure it out?!?" We now have an answer: None. Zero. No damage at all. Record sales. Record stock price. I think that's what bothered me about this entire thread. Not the idea that Tesla...

    Any recommendations on rear seat covers & child seats?

    Thanks for the link. But I'm looking for something that will cover the entirety of the rear seats, including the backs. I've noticed that my seats are already cutting into the back head rests, so I've got a towel providing some cushion right now.

    Any recommendations on rear seat covers & child seats?

    I have two child seats that I've installed in the back of my S85D. I'm belatedly realizing that these seats are going to be pretty hard on the leather seats, not to mention the random crumbs and other artifacts that are going to filter down there. Does anyone have a recommendation for a rear...

    How much more damage will Remarketing do to Tesla sales before they figure it out?!?

    Sorry, you're missing what every person in the car sales business knows: you can stand firm on the new car cost and give a little on the trade-in or you can discount the list price and stand firm on the trade-in. It doesn't matter, it's all the same transaction.
