    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    1/10 reservation. VIN assigned about 2 weeks ago. Delivery date scheduled for 3/3. Stealth Gray Black Interior 18" LR-AWD no FSD I had a buyback for my 2021 Model S Long Range so will be interesting coming from that to this. I test drove this when I went to drop off the S. It actually...

    7-seater Y 3rd Row Entry

    Hi, I tried searching but didn't see anything related to this topic so I apologize if it was covered somewhere else. Does anyone know when you pull the shoulder button on the 2nd row seats if it's suppose to electrically assist the movement of the seats forward and up? I almost have to use...

    7 seat waiting room

    Tesla reduced prices on the model Y by $3000 on April 18th, 2023, then they reduced prices on the 7-seat options by $1000 April 27th, 2023. That is $4000 total.

    Kinda sucks, just took delivery last week. At least I didn't pay an extra $3000. Crazy to think those that took delivery on April 17th, 2023 for a 7 seater Y paid $4000 more just for taking delivery 11 days earlier.

    Yes it is very pricey. Unfortunately we're kinda not liking the gull wing doors on the X. While they are awesome for loading unloading kids. Don't know about the long term reliability and issues opening and closing sometimes. Y can utilize a roof rack when the X does not. The 3rd row...

    In MD, they are required to provide one. Some states do not require it.

    Picked up my Model Y 7-Seater today. Better build. Still had paint issues but not enough to refuse delivery. They ran out of tire repair kits which should have been included so I'll have to come back and pick it up when it is back in stock.

    I basically called the main number and transfered to delivery support. Waited about an hour and got ahold of someone there.

    I've found that works better than the texts. You can also call the delivery main service centers. You might have to wait on hold for awhile but usually you can get someone helpful.

    You'd be surprised. You can call your delivery advisor or text them directly and they'll try to match an available vehicle for you. They offered to find me a vehicle after my rejection. They will not be able to add items (tow hitch) or even change wheel sizes however.

    I really think the March 31st deadline really only affects Model 3 SR; only primarily because these batteries are LFP and sourced from China. We'll find out soon.

    I enrolled my bank for plaid via the app final payment screen. Then I waited to inspect the car before issuing payment. You can enroll your bank without issuing payment. In my case I rejected the car and no money was deducted from my account. This saves from having to get a cashier's check...

    Don't think its end of the line. They'll try to match another vin. We'll find out! I did take some but not of the worst areas so not much to share unfortunately. Mostly paint imperfections, some of them under clear coat, scratches all over car. Could be buffed out but we don't want it to...

    Discussion: Model Y General Waiting room for orders placed After January 2023

    Ordered 1/13/2023. Got an EDD of March - April initially. Then mid January it turn into Feb 19 - March 19. I just got a VIN assigned today with an updated delivery date of 3/6 - 3/13. Surprised at how fast it was. I ordered a 7-seater with tow package. No FSD / EAP.

    Steam integration for Model S built after Feb 2022 only?

    $2000 seems high if all they are doing is adding 8 gigs of ram. If its a complete MCU swap, i'd say us early adopters got shafted. Where is my supposed PS5 level car gaming computer that is supposed to play cyberpunk?

    Anyone delaying until January?

    Model Y is considered an SUV.

    Wiki Mega-consolidated delivery quality issues thread and checklist

    I've had this escalated pretty much to the top. They've claimed everything is within spec and normal. I eventually dropped it. The problem is there is not much adjustment that could be performed on the rocker panels. I remember this being an issue on the model 3. They ended up just...

    $940 sounds like gap fill from 12/21 pop. Other indicators are MACD trend reversal heading to negative / RSI / STOCH all heading down. The puzzling thing today is the 10-year also tanked which typically inverse of growth / nasdaq.

    For what its worth, the Tesla-Certified body shop near me have ex-Tesla Service center employees and technicians that have worked on Tesla vehicles long before there were official service centers in the area. In fact Tesla poached some of them over to staff their new body repair / collision...

    Unfortunately, there is very little chance of returning a car anymore unless there is a legitimate lemon law claim. I'm also sharing your frustrations with delays and now that deliveries are done maybe they can focus on repairs.

    I don't see that being an item that will take days. They should be able to take care of that either via mobile service or very quickly at the SC.

    For the first two pictures, I had the same issue on mine. They would not fix. Said within tesla spec. If you get yours fixed, I'd be interested why tesla standards can vary between SCs and I'd press them again for it.

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    So I recently discovered I get vibration if I floor it but not if its a slow accelaration (feels nearly smooth). It almost feels like its coming from drivetrain / wheels / floor. Vibration goes away when I let off the accelerrator. I actually don't recall this being an issue until recently...

    I had this exact thing they would not replace the glass on mine. Might be the same in a lot of vehicles, most owners may not really notice. Part of my windshield is slightly distorted but you have to really look for it and its on the lower bottom of the windshield.

    I'm also waiting for parts so they fixed what they could and let me drive it home. They'll supposedly let me know this century when the parts will come in. Today I learned from Tesla there is 'seam sealant' between the tail light and body which may appear to be cracks but are actually not.

    The Model S Refresh/Plaid delivery tracking spreadsheet probably has the numbers. Can't seem to find it at the moment. My recollection is 430k-ish VIN? Aside from the first 10k VINs, you probably more have to account for End of Q pushes as well. That is when I took my delivery.

    Sometimes having ECN Level 2 access helps. You can see where the big buys are and set your order slightly above that level.

    This video highlights the evolution of the newer door handle. There is a newer solid state sensor that replaced the previous microswitches; this would lead me to believe that adjustment could be done either at that level or just loosening the set screw that limits travel internally of the...

    To a certain extent on some things but when they started saying that on everything (warped windows, misaligned doors, driver side handle that was recessed too far in partially blocking the LED, yoke rub when slow turning, rocker panel gaps), it got a bit unbelievable. At one point the SA was...

    I've heard 'within spec' more times than I care to hear. Happened to me with my Model 3 RWD. Happened to me with my Tesla Model S Refresh. I must live in an area where this is the norm.

    Pile that award up next to the Level 3 autonomy award for Mercedes EQS that has a whole bunch of fine print written all over it. Nothing on Rivian, I think they'll do fine. But apparently just being able to prototype a vehicle is all you have to do to have it be considered a contender for a...

    Bought more shares at $960.5, $952. Not surpassing the Low of $950.5 is a good sign and it closed above the long term trend line (~$960). Have more to buy if it keeps dipping. Love these opportunities.

    I have the exact same issue on my passenger side. They didn't do anything on it, said within spec. Among the other issues, this one was a lower priority for me.

    Ceramic coating on the glass surfaces and quick acceleration fulfills most of the wiping needs on my S. I would think the final wiper design would incorporate some sort of wiper well to store the wiper. Not a tesla thing to keep it so exposed. That or they go with traditional wiper design...

    Not spliced as far as I know. I guess it is relative. It doesn't seem that much bigger than the Y. I'd wait for final dimensions before making any decisions. I think the challenge is to make it functional as well as being able to fit it in a normal garage. Here is a video that better shows...
