    Vote for Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires for Tesla Model Y

    I have the Crossclimate+ on my Model 3 (18" wheels) and have driven them in deep snow (had a 4+' snowstorm shortly after I got them-- roads were snowpacked for 2 weeks) and in Seattle rain. In all cases the performance beat all expectations. Want to get a set for my Model Y but the lack of an...

    Blendmount radar mount doesn't work for model Y :(

    What did you end up doing? I cut the lip off the blendmount and it still doesn't quite fit. Have any pictures?

    Truck Delivery in New Mexico

    Latest. Tesla is setting up a repair at a local bodyshop for the bent door panel. They ordered a new headlight and a bunch of brackets to deal with the scratched headlight housing and unaligned bumped. A new issue has cropped up. The rear-left door (which was perfectly aligned) became...

    One update. I am still waiting on mobile service to fix the remaining issues. I have put ~ 1k miles on the Model Y so far. Order, and installed, a bunch of accessories. Got the 3D Max Spider mats (preorder) and they are pretty awesome (will post pictures tomorrow) and order a number of parts...

    How does Tesla handle getting payment from a third party lender?

    The last page of the MVPA gives payment instructions. By mail or wire. It is up to your bank which is used. Mine used a mailed check and it took Tesla ~ 2-3 days to process it.

    MSM/White Interior/Induction Wheels Waiting Area

    This is my configuration but ordered awhile ago. Took delivery in July after modifying the order to have induction wheels in June. Build date is June 19. I don't think this is a particularly slow config.

    Induction Wheels Have All Season Tires (not Summer Tires)

    Mine are also M+S. This is a big marketing fail on Goodyear's part. They should have different branding. Don't really care though because I will throw these out in favor of much better tires before the first snowfall. My Model 3 currently has the Michelin Crossclimate+ and I have been very...

    Nice! That is a bit better. Would be nice to have on down in Trinidad. That is possible without stopping at a supercharger. NM will probably pass a modification to the franchise act before that happens. I know I will be pushing hard on the state senators I know. If the minority party looses 3-4...

    They do not need to be present to document the issues. I documented most of the issues on delivery day using schedule service. I kept updating the service request as I found other issues.

    Truck Delivery in New Mexico

    Ended up with a $0 total. The $166 was an estimate if it was deemed not to be warranty work. The mobile tech showed up around 5:15PM MDT today. He adjusted both windshield wipers (apparently both were low), replaced the missing clips, replaced the trunk tub, and ordered a replacement headlight...

    Mobile service will fix the trunk pan and tail lights on Thursday. Will probably take multiple appointments to fix the remaining issues. Hope I don't have to drive up to littleton (6 hours) to get them addressed. They sent me an estimate of $166. Not quite sure what that is about given this is...

    Seems to be connected but I will double-check to be sure. I ran the wipers a bunch after the adjustment to make sure I didn't screw something up. I haven't heard the "burst of air" yet. Still looking (and listening) for potential issues. I let it slip with my Model 3 and Tesla has so far avoided...

    Adjusted the windshield wiper myself and now it works perfectly. It was ~ 1" low on the far end. Single 14mm nut holding it in. Took the nut off, removed the wiper arm, reinstalled so both ends were on the glass, and reinstalled the nut. This is something they should be checking before it...

    Truck Delivery in New Mexico

    Finally took delivery of my LR/AWD/MSM/Black & White/Induction/FSD today (VIN 0175xx). The car was built on 06/19, moved to the port of San Fransisco on 06/23. Unassigned on 06/28 (Tesla EoQ shenanigans), reassigned on 06/30 (can sell an already paid for car). Moved to Fremont around 07/08...

    Yeah. There is light at the end of the tunnel though. Got a call from the delivery specialist who indicated it is scheduled to be picked up on 07/25 and delivered on 07/27.

    MSM = Midnight Silver Metallic. Though, I agree, they probably have it someplace safe until a truck is available (if it hasn't already left). I will know by 6pm today if leaves/has left today. Thanks for taking a look this morning.

    It unfortunately arrived too late to try for a Saturday delivery. It did finally arrive though! Almost exactly 1 month after it was built. If anyone happens to be by Tesla Littleton today and you see a AWD/MSM/White/20" with 01759x VIN please snap a picture. Hopefully it is loaded on a truck...

    Does getting a Y quickly = previous reject?

    VIN numbers are mostly produced in consecutive order but it is not always the case. 01xxx VINs will be coming off the line for awhile (though fewer than in June). Also, plenty of cars produced in June (01xxx VINs) are just fine.

    $3K loss in value over night? UGH

    Even MSRPs are adjusted regularly. I bought a MINI F54 when they first went into production. Shortly after taking delivery they changed up the base price and reworked some of the packages and I could have gotten the same car for ~ $2k less if I had just waited. The car was still worth the...

    $3K loss in value over night? UGH

    Except neither dealers nor car manufacturers can determine used car values. It is entirely up to the market. It is worse for non-Teslas as some expensive options get zeroed the minute it is a used car. This is part of the reason BMWs take a huge depreciation when it take it off the lot. You...

    Interesting. I was told that I had the accept the new price for everything including FSD so only got $2k. Maybe it is because I already paid, not sure.

    Model Y price reduction

    Got the $2k price difference refunded. It is not automatic because you "need to accept the price change in writing" according to my delivery specialist. If you have the email address of your delivery specialist just send an email with the old and new price and request they adjust the price and...

    From what I understand you have to accept the new price for everything.

I am asking for more due...

    Hard to say. Someone was saying that Littleton was handling ~ 50 deliveries a day. That is 10 trucks each day. For my car I had assumed that was the issue until I looked at the spreadsheet. Lots of deliveries in 4 days from VIN assignment. Not all of these are from the factory but many are.

    Looks like mine is still in Fremont. The delivery specialist is trying to figure out what is going on as it was supposed to move SF -> Littleton last week.

    Website Change - Non-PUP gone lower price....

    Well, that at least is something. A rested driver should be able to make that run in a single day. They can drive up to 11 hours after 14 hours of rest. It is only 8 hours or so from SLC to Denver. Mine left SF either Tuesday or early Wednesday. Most likely will be at Denver Littleton this...

    Paint Mismatch Survey

    This is not a problem unique to Tesla. We have a copper sunset Honda CR-V with exactly the same issue. The color hides it a bit better but when I look closely at the areas where painted plastic meets painted metal it is definitely a different color. This white just seems to exacerbate the issue.

    Probably replanned due to the end of the quarter push. They pulled a lot of VINs to deliver them in CA instead to ensure they were posted as delivered in Q2.
