    What are your home electricity rates?

    Albany NY area is $0.20/kWh after you combine the electric rate + delivery charge. No residential smart meters here yet, though the utility company has been sending out surveys to customers (targeting EV customers). My response was I would only accept such a service if I could override any...

    7 seat waiting room

    I just went through this - took just a few minutes. Last Friday I linked a bank account with sufficient funds and paid with the Tesla app. The payment was immediatly recognized as completed by Tesla with a $0 balance due. The funds did not actually leave the bank till Monday (My delivery date)

    Missing Wheel Apron Retainer Clip

    Great find. Use the site's search and type in "Tesla" and they carry all sorts of goodies including a $66 kit (210 pieces) of Tesla plastic fasteners.

    Missing Wheel Apron Retainer Clip

    If any fastener is out of stock and absolutely needed, then improvise with more common parts. The push nut goes onto a M6 threaded stud so use a M6 nylon nut with an appropriate plastic or stainless steel fender washer. Link to 6M nylon nuts below, though you can find the washers and you might...

    Missing Wheel Apron Retainer Clip

    Plastic Push Nut then - I was thinking it was a damaged push pin. So from the Tesla Service Manual parts breakout it's: PUSH-NUT,M6X18,PP PN# 1110713-99-C At least one non-Tesla source is: https://buyaftermarketparts.com/detail/2752036/tesla-1110713-99-c-push-nut-m6x18-pp or just search...

    March 2022 Order Delivery Dates

    Based on recent history, a 6 -8 month wait time is expected for a non-FSD/P Model Y. Don't plan on checking my delivery status until the end-of quarter "surge" when EDDs are more volatile. I've got an eventual 2hr drive to Mt. Kisco to pick up mine

    Help to understand home charging options?

    No disagreement with the elctrical code references -- just worth a quick visual check of this particular circuit before installing an higher capacity outlet.

    Help to understand home charging options?

    True, but what other outlets and switches would be powered off the breaker other than the 12A for the Tesla. It's a relativly simple to check the wire gauge both at the box and the outlet.
  13. AlMason

    Help to understand home charging options?

    That is correct. Dual 20 Amp breakers in a single breaker box slot like the ones pictures are usually added after construction to add additional circuits -- It's not a bad thing so long as the gauge of the wire connecting the breaker to the outlets & switches are at least 12 gauge. The...

    Help to understand home charging options?

    The outlets shown are 15 Amp maximum and should not be not be powered by the 20 Amp breakers pictured. The gauge of the wiring supplying a 20 Amp circuit should be 12 gauge. This setup should be checked to electrical standards as you may have a code issue and fire hazard if you pull more than 15...

    New Y Frame Process & Wiring Harness Plans: Great Stuff or Wall of Worry

    Recent comments and patent filings indicate Model Y production will use a new frame maufacturing technique to create a good part of the frame in one peice and also use a new wirng harness having much less wiring in the wire harnesses (100 meters vs 1,500 meters as in the Model 3). All great...

    Tesla Still Trying to Decide Where It Will Build Model Y

    As a New Yorker I can say that Tesla will be as welcome in New York as Amazon was - as in "Not". The politics of this state won't allow it. They could come in and build up some operations slowly as Google and Amazon did, and are slowly expanding, but anything "big" would immediatly be jumped...

    Model Y Spotted in the Wild

    Many come with a reciever interfaces -- Mounting points, threaded holes an a connection point for the wiring. The dealer or outside installer bolts on the optionally purchased reciever and wiring harness. Toyota Highlanders and many other makes do this as not everyone wants a receiver for a hitch

    Hopefully, it will be a bolt-on option that can be added during/after delivery.

    Model Y Spotted in the Wild

    Noticed a cut-out panel in the lower/center of the rear bumper - Looks like they are designing in a tow revceiver interface to the Y, as they should.

    Can the Model Y tow?

    I'm hopeful for 3,500 or more Y tow capacity. They are now putting the M3 technology drive motors in the new S & X models - plenty of power, so its just a matter of how the hitch reciever is integrated into the Y frame to get the tow rating. Load issues on the drive train can be handled in...

    Can the Model Y tow?

    SUVs are expected to be tow capable -- if even a little (1,500 lbs). Manufacturing efficiency dictates all model Ys should be tow capable with either an included hitch reciever (unlikely) or a field installable kit for reciever and wiring. To custom manufacure a tow versions of the Y would...

    Can the Model Y tow?

    Towing option just announced for the Model 3 though for europe only at the moment, so the same option can't be far behind for the Y. It's not a "bolt on" system for the M3, so it must be ordered as an option with the M3. 2,000 lbs capacity and the options cost is $1,250, Source: Tesla...
