I’m considering purchasing a 2019/2020 model X, but I’ve read so many threads about “issues” with the car such as : the front half shafts, seals leaking, rattles and squeaks, and it becoming a money pit after warranty is up. I’m concerned about these issues and trying to think very hard about...

Taking the tow hitch cover off and on is a pain. If I leave the cover off, does anyone know if there are any concerns about water getting in there and causing any trouble? Thanks!

Here’s my update: blingeorkl’s fix is the fix. Thanks blingeorkl for finding the solution to this and giving us all your wisdom. The Tesla mobile service tech arrived at my home this morning with a new mirror assemble. We talked about the issue, he removed the current mirror and we compared...

I’ve got an appointment in the morning for the Mobil service to address this issue. On my service estimate they have this part listed to replace: EXT.MIRROR ASSY EC PREM DOM, LH MY(1594111-98 1.0 I’ll post up and let everyone know if this is a fix. It is a real safety issue. I can’t see the...

These mats are awesome. They are thick and grippy too, plus the price is great for all 3 mats: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088CTM4DX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

How do we find out what date our cars are built?

For a checklist just google tesla model y delivery checklist and a bunch will come up

I just got my vin this morning and a request to schedule a delivery date. I’m picking her up this Friday afternoon in Costa Mesa. Vin 86YYY: LR/19”/ Blue/Black seats/Tow Hitch. I was surprised I got the match this soon after I got the message yesterday of delivery between 12/13 - 12/31. It...

I got the estimated delivery message between 12/13 - 12/31 today. No Vin. I’m also picking up in Costa Mesa ... looking forward to also know if there’s lots of new cars there waiting to be assigned. I’ve specked: LR, 19” wheels, Blue, black seats, tow hitch.

hey BE - with your new tires are you getting any reduction in range compared to the OEM tires?

Looking forward to your review of the UPP comfort spring!

Thanks all for posting ... also, everyone please post what size wheel your Y came with. I wonder if 19’s come with the Continentals and the other sizes come with Goodyear’s. I had heard that the 19’s were now being footed with Goodyear’s and wondering if anyone with 19’s has any other tire...

I’ve heard that Tesla is installing Goodyear tires rather than the Continentals on new 2021 Model Y’s. I do not know if there is any truth to this rumor. It would be nice to know. So ... how about all you new 2021 Model Y owners let us know which tire came on your new car. Please post up the...

Thank you for posting up your eval on the soft springs. Glad to hear they are a success.

Does anyone know what the OEM spring rates are? And anyone know what the UPP replacement spring (both the lowering ones and the comfort ones) rates are?

Hey Breatheasier, have you had a chance to compare the part numbers for the springs and shocks yet to see if there’s been a change?

Thanks for offering to check the part numbers ... looking forward to hearing what you find out. The part numbers will tell the truth if there’s been any changes in the struts or the springs.

BreatheEasier - what is NVH? And did the Tesla Service Center mount your new tires? If so, what did they charge you for the service and did you just bring them the tires after tire rack shipped them to your house? So glad to hear that you are enjoying the new tires and that they made a...

Hey BreathEasier, so glad to hear you are installing the VQP’s on your MY. I’m excited to hear how it changes the comfort in the ride of the MY. We’ve got a set on our 2015 MS and they made the car much more comfortable. We had the OEM Michelin’s on the car when we got it and they were hard...

If you lower the psi in the tires to say 38, or even a little lower, will you get a warning light that stays on? And, at what psi level does the warning light come on?

Noflash, I saw that post as well and I’m with you ... we need a bigger data pool than one to determine if the 21’s are a softer suspension than the 2020 cars. I’m glad Bluejug is asking this question. Hopefully some of the new 2021 model y owners will post up and chime in on their new cars and...

I’d love to have this info too Bluejug. Rather than in Texas I’m in Southern California and the freeway expansion joints here will beat you up in a stiff suspension. I’m planning on buying one when my current lease Is up end of December, but I’m waiting to find out if Tesla has done anything to...

Hey BZM3 thanks for the post. Would you also post up your thoughts of the ride quality / suspension please. Is it firm or more comfortable? There’s been a lot of folks unhappy with the firm ride of the car, and some talk about Tesla revising the suspension on the 2021’s to make it more...

Alexcue, congratulations on the double pane fronts! Thank you for posting up. So it appears the Y is now shipping with the new front side window glass. I wonder how much quieter this makes the car? Alexcue would you please also post up your thoughts on the suspension comfort of your new Y...

Hey Mincerray, looking forward to hearing about your new Y and if it’s equipped with the dual pane windows. Best of luck!

Hey MG, do you know the time frame on Tesla releasing an air suspension option/upgrade for the Y? Soon, in a few months, or a year from now? Thanks for letting us know what you’ve heard. My current Lexus lease is up end of December and I’m trying to decide if I can live with the Y’s suspension...
