No VIN info was given on Bearded Tesla Guy’s video. All that was mentioned is that you have a a high chance of an 82 KWh battery pack if your vehicle was made on or after 05/21. He was able to find out what size battery pack his car has by plugging into the vehicle through the rear of the center console. Looked similar to an OBD plug.
I had to ask about a loaner option because they didn't provide any inconvenience benefits. They shot that down and said that "Tesla doesn't do loaners" even after I stated that I literally knew people that have had loaners. I asked a total of 3 managers from 2 different stores about a loaner and all said the same "Tesla doesn't do loaners" statement. But yeah, sometimes I don't think Tesla really upholds "the right thing to do". I understand that there are part shortages across the board and supply/demand issues, but they have many options to offer me that would make me a bit more happier following this huge inconvenience.
Hmm, how did he confirm this? What production date / VIN / model variant has the larger battery? All? Link?
I’m in Pittsburgh and my Y was just in June until two days ago. I am kinda the beginning of what would be considered the “Northeast” but should still count. Assuming your date is actually that, it would make sense mine comes around then too.
Exactly! Why is it so hard to offer me something for the inconvenience. Any other company or product, vehicle-related or not, does this kind of stuff for people in these situations. Yeah i could walk away, but there's no other car I would consider better than the MY, and the M3 is too small for me. Just gonna wait lol
Fellow PGH order here. What’s your configuration? And how helpful has Wexford been to you?
You're talking to the wrong guy, I cannot stand the look of black wheels, I think they're the tackiest looking thing ever. This is why the 20s are not even a consideration for me (of course, the boat-anchor weight is a deterrent as well). But since you replied to me, I'll say this: don't do it!
Great question. Yes, I actually think it’s almost more noticeable above say 25 mph. Definitely more “get up and go” for passing folks, for example. Does kind of tail off after 65mph or so. Totally the “sleeper” option in my opinion. Not widely advertised, but makes a meaningful difference. I think I am now more at risk of speeding in my Y than my X even though my X is faster “off the line”.

That’s exactly how they look from the factory if you take the cap cover off. Except, as you point out, you need to add lug covers and center cap. I’ve done it on mine, but have to say, the Gemini caps actually grew on me and I may put them back on. It’s been reported you lose 3-5% range with the covers off. That said, it’s pretty cool the stock rims look so nice underneath.Found it, this is the pic!
Love how the 19s look, I almost didn't believe they look like this as they look nicely finished, at first I thought they had them powder coated but claims that they just got the car a day prior (the owner said "Finally took delivery yesterday! Immediately punted the Gemini covers in the trash as soon as I got home."). I'm someone who detests black wheels, and the "blacked out" look in general, I'm a big fan of silver wheels. I notice he put the center cap and lug not covers in place, but if this is the way the wheels are finished from the factory I'm gonna be extra happy. I guess the ones I saw IRL were powder coated black/gray or something (and this was on multiple cars), a look that absolutely doesn't work for me -- I thought that's how they come from the factory. Do they really look like in this pic or has the owner done something to them?
It's all personal preference - like I don't like silver wheels on a white car - looks like grandma's Camry, lol. And don't talk to me about a white interior - looks like grandma's living room furniture (covered with clear plastic slipcovers.)You're talking to the wrong guy, I cannot stand the look of black wheels, I think they're the tackiest looking thing ever. This is why the 20s are not even a consideration for me (of course, the boat-anchor weight is a deterrent as well). But since you replied to me, I'll say this: don't do it!
I really don't get this craze with black wheels, what does it matter what they look like since you see such little detail. To me they all look cheap, like they're plastidipped in shoe polish. Well, until you hit your first curb and you break the plastidip layer and it looks even more terrible
They have been great whenever I visited the showroom. They can’t do anything till there is a VIN.
See? Not always bad to be patient and wait. If this is true, all of those who scooped up demo cars from April will be bummed…
