    FS: Model Y Gemini wheels and covers (Northern VA)

    These still available? I’m in Nova and can pick up asap.

    Model Y Towing - Experiences Post here

    I do not. None of my trailers have brakes. They’re considered lightweight.

    My new Model Y’s range is great!

    I don’t understand all the focus on the highway/high-speed range. “I’m going to prove that the Model Y can’t go 316 miles at 70 mph!” 316 miles at 70mph is not an expectation based in reality. I don’t think Tesla is making that claim either. If you need to be able to hit 300+ miles at 70 mph...

    My new Model Y’s range is great!

    On the way home today. Dry road conditions. 92 degrees. Autopilot set to 68mph the entire way. Includes the on-ramp and off-ramp but nothing else. AC set to 70.

    My new Model Y’s range is great!

    This is from this morning on I-95 in the rain. Only the highway driving is included in this trip meter, it does include the on-ramp. Speeds were a bit slower, 60-65 the average probably closer to 60. It’s not bad considering the water on the road.

    Best screen protector kit?

    I have the HD glossy screen protector from AO installed. There is a rainbow effect on the far right side of the display when I wear my polarized sunglasses. It’s not a deal breaker but it’s there.

    stopping podcasts for phone calls

    Press in the left scroll wheel to pause the Podcast. I’ve noticed this problem when Tesla reads my text messages to me. The podcast doesn’t pause and I start to feel over stimulated from everyone talking at once. Lol

    My new Model Y’s range is great!

    We drove to Richmond and back on Sunday. 98% of that trip was on the interstate going 70-75. I didn’t take a photo but the Wh/mile when we got home was 256. That was my Road Trip meter that you can just see in the bottom of my photo. None of my driving has resulted in averaging 295-310. That...

    Model Y comparable to Model 3 (Driving experience)

    I own a Bolt and a Model Y. The MY regen allows for one-pedal driving without the need for a regen paddle. It will come to a full stop with just regen. No break pedal is necessary unless emergency or distracted/unsafe driving. I owned a Model X before the MY and that would not come to a full...

    My new Model Y’s range is great!

    I’m pretty pleased with it in my daily driving. This is two days worth of commuting in the Northern Virginia/DC area. Yesterday and today. Half of my commute is surface streets at about 45-50 mph and a few stoplights. The other half is interstate at about 65-70. Temps were high 70s to low 80s in...

    Model Y Towing - Experiences Post here

    Yes. We have yet to use a Supercharger that allows us to pull through and charge. That would be amazing. We’ve charged sideways a few times when there was nobody else charging, and with the intent to move if someone else showed up to charge. Unhooking doesn’t take us long. While I’m...

    Model Y Towing - Experiences Post here

    It’s hard to say. I only towed it a few miles to donate some kitchen cabinets to our local Habitat For Humanity ReStore. That’s not far enough to get a good baseline. Based on my experience with the Model X and various ICE towing vehicles I expect to get about 50% of the vehicle’s rated range...

    Model Y Towing - Experiences Post here

    I received that chain hanger and tried it out this weekend. It’s ok and will do the job on my setup. I wish it was an inch or so shorter. I had to do a half twist of only the links coming from the clasp end to get it high enough so it doesn’t rest on the plastic. Over all for $8 it’ll do.

    MY Group Buy (Suma Convex Mirrors for MY, S, X and 3)

    Does the MY have connections for mirror defrosters, does it currently have mirror defrosters? I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have a blinker connection. That would have to be wired in.

    Model Y Towing - Experiences Post here

    I haven’t towed the camper yet. I plan to in a couple weeks. That will be around 300 miles round trip. Should be a good test of the towing capability and range. There isn’t a lot of room for gear in a teardrop. Ours has a small 10-12 gallon water tank that we’ve never used. No big propane...

    Model Y Towing - Experiences Post here

    I towed my utility trailer yesterday. First towing experience with the MY. We used to tow our teardrop camp trailer and utility trailer with a Model X so I have some means of comparison. A couple observations: There is road noise transmitted through the hitch and into the MY frame, which can...

    Do you mind sharing the details on your tint job? This is something I’m interested in as well.

    Great delivery in N. Virginia.

    I am too. Our car had a fairly long list of issues but none were so bad that we considered rejecting. Things like misaligned panels and doors/hatches would have been hard for me to accept. All our issues can be resolved and so far Tesla hasn’t pushed back on any. We have a mobile service...

    Great delivery in N. Virginia.

    They documented the issues and told me to make a service appointment. We will see what the service dept. says.

    Great delivery in N. Virginia.

    We took delivery today at 1pm. There was a full row of MY deliveries happening on the side of the building while we were there. Tesla staff at Tyco was very understanding. Unlocked the car without us asking and tried to address some of the stains and adhesive issue while we were there. This is...

    Great delivery in N. Virginia.

    LR AWD/MSM/Induction/White/Tow The car was in great condition as far as the common issues are concerned. Even panel gaps. Tail lights, headlights, hood, and charge port all look great. Rear hatch uppers are even on both sides. No paint chips. 5 miles on the odo. No large gaps anywhere...

    Cleaning white interior

    Clean with a damp cloth for general cleaning. For stains Tesla recommends isopropyl alcohol and then air dry.

    Sounds like a pretty good delivery. Pics and build info?

    I called Tyco this afternoon and was told to plan on my original Sunday, 7/26, delivery but they would call me tomorrow morning to let me know for sure because tomorrow afternoon is still a possibility. I didn’t ask about the car’s condition. Would rather go in without expectations and willing...

    Unless it’s changed in the last three days, it’s still 2.49%. I was approved at that rate but ended up going with Pasadena FCU at 2.24% for 72 months. They are at 1.85% for 60 months. There is a spreadsheet here on the forums that shows the latest rates at various credit unions. I donated $25 to...

    Told to Apply for Loan Before VIN

    I ordered on 7/12 and filled out my registration/delivery info right away. I had a VIN and delivery date around midday on 7/15. I unfroze my credit on the afternoon of 7/15 and applied for Tesla financing. I was approved for the loan by US Bank but changed it to Pasadena FCU today for their...

    Tesla rep at Tyco just called me. They’re scheduled to do “more than 50 deliveries” on Sunday, July 26th. He expects my car (LR AWD, Midnight Silver, White, Induction, Tow hitch) to arrive on Thursday and asked if I would be willing to take delivery on Saturday. He said they are trying to move...

    Ordered 7/12, delivery 7/26

    Thank you for this advice. I still can’t see MVPA anywhere but I found the VIN in a “My Car” menu on the top right of the page (mobile website). VIN is 257XX. Thank you for the advice about inspecting the vehicle before accepting and paying. Will be sure to do that. If there are too many...

    Tow Hitch Waiting Room

    I ordered a model with a tow hitch on July 12th and got a delivery confirmation date of July 26th.

    Northern Virginia Model Y started

    We were told we had 10 minutes for our drive. With the way traffic was that day we pretty much only made it around the block. But it was the funnest drive around the block I’ve had in a while! It was somewhat touchless. We went in and spoke to the reps. You could wait in your car and let them...

    I’m scheduled for delivery on 7/26 at Tyco Rd. Ordered on 7/12. Long Range, Midnight Silver, Induction, Tow hitch, and White interior. We did a test drive on the 11th and submitted our order the next day over the phone.

    Ordered 7/12, delivery 7/26

    I did. It said my Tesla is on its way to the delivery center and provided a link to schedule delivery “by this afternoon.” I’m new around here and am not sure what that is. I have a Motor Vehicle Order Agreement. That has my reservation number. No VIN.

    Ordered 7/12, delivery 7/26

    Build: Long Range AWD, Midnight Silver, Towing pkg, Induction wheels, White interior. I was expecting 4-8 weeks and was planning to use that time to sell my Model X for a decent price. Guess I have to reconsider Carvana, Vroom, etc. Questions about delivery: Where do I find the VIN? I looked...
