That’s what I did, too!This happened last quarter too. I booked a test drive at the end of June and they texted me letting me know they sold all their demos. I ended up realizing I should just place an order and test drive later if I wanted this thing. I didn’t test drive until more than a month after ordering
I still haven't ridden in a Tesla. Driving off the lot may be my first time.
There's 6 pages for me to catch up on so I don't know if this has been answered or not but I didn't use plaid and we paid on delivery day after inspecting the car. You just need to have your account number and routing number. You still have to "go through plaid" but you choose the option that you can't find your bank and then it says to manually enter details then it gives you the fields to enter your details.
When I took delivery of my MYP last Thursday in Knoxville, the showroom was missing it's two show vehicles. I asked what happened to them and the manager said they sold all their demo vehicles. Must be new models coming in or they are boosting their Q3 numbers.
Looks nice. What mount did you use for your bike? I'm looking for something like that.
You'll probably forget that it is a demo after 10 minutes of driving and enjoying it
Perfect. Thank you. I don’t have a problem adding my creds to debit my account. All the money management systems do it the same way so it’s nothing new. I only don’t want to pay Tesla until I’m ready to accept the car.
@Forensic it’s a pretty simple process to buy out your lease. I was leasing a 2019 M3 and sold it a week or so ago to a 3rd party dealer. You have two options with a M3 lease: transfer lease to an individual, or sell to a 3rd party dealer. If you want to pull out equity go 3rd party dealer route obviously.
Damn! An A pack. That's absolutely amazing! And 100k miles. Wow. Simply wow. The irksome issue is the nerfed supercharger speeds. I imagine even the newest 82 kWh Model Y will also get nerfed over time or after a certain number of DCFC sessions, but hopefully it's has longer lifespan with regards to fast charging capability. I know there are limitations to the physics and chemistry of the batteries themselves, so Tesla needs to play it safe to keep them from exploding or killing themselves, but still.
Thank you really appreciate the info, going to look into doing this.
I dont get it... i guess it depends on the state... No Sales Advisor can give any info about my car...
There's some science behind driving your car to at or near zero (carefully of course) then charging to 100% (which shouldn't be done often) and repeat to "rebalance" the charge across cells. I would advise new owners not to get caught up in this idea because 1 - Tesla's batteries have changed over time and the old wisdom may no longer apply and 2 - Tesla's software manages the battery in very smart ways and user-intervention isn't necessary beyond keeping good charging habits.
Yep, good ole A-pack. The nerfed charging speeds really hurts me for a few reasons: Tesla didn't communicate about it, didn't give us a choice in the matter, and not all of us original owners were millionaires buying the car as a toy (in other words, some of us are STILL paying a damn near mortgage payment for the privilege of a car we expected would continue to operate like it always did.) There have been reports of the throttling being reversed but I'm skeptical. I can't prove anything since I never bothered to study/memorize charge rates in my earlier years of ownership and then stopped traveling as much once I had a kiddo but when we attempt to supercharge the S now, it's painfully slow. Even on a V3 yesterday with a low state of charge.
Balancing = bring up the voltage (state of charge) of all the individual cells to roughly the same range. Usually cells become imbalanced and voltage deltas occur when the battery is frequently fast charged, or always charged to 80%, or some number below 100%. Basically to balance them you charge to 100%, and let it sit on the charger for another couple hours or overnight. Some say you should never do this unless you're getting an error and trying to troubleshoot a malfunction, since it's kinda bad for the battery.
You would need an exhaust pipe to do a "colonoscopy" on a vehicle, wouldn't you?? lol. Hopefully that comes across as funny as it did in my head, lol.Hi guys! Been super busy with work and home improvement project for the past few weeks
I can’t go through probably 400 pages and congratulate each and everyone of you who got vins and MY’s delivered. Congrats to all!
My wait hopefully almost over - delivery date set for 9/22. Spoke to SA and he told me that my Y will be off tracks on 9/21.
My plan is to do a full “colonoscopy” before I accept/sign and hand cashiers check. I’ll update afterwards.
Yeah, this is very interesting. Makes me think that in a five years time, our soon-to-be Model Y could eventually become a putz around-town car, which by then I'll look at replacing my current Prius with a long-range EV, Tesla or otherwise. Some high-mileage Model 3 packs are supposedly getting throttled as well, but those stories seem to be pretty rare still, not statistically significant. Like you said, it can be hard to tell and hard to prove, especially because superchargers speeds are dependent on so many variables. Car shouldn't be too hot. Nor too cold. Can't charge next to someone. Cable handle can't be too hot (use the wet towel trick, learned that one recently).
