Find a performance and that will have the new ones.Honestly, I don't even know the difference between old and new. How can I spot the difference?

They have the round part near the outside edge - that is the easiest way to tell.Honestly, I don't even know the difference between old and new. How can I spot the difference?
In some cases where the breaker box is not in the garage it also requires more work to run conduit and drill through walls.. I do all that if needed but I'm also an experienced home flipper and do virtually all work myself..Yeah I watched him do it, it is super easy but I understand why most wouldn't want to do it. Netter safe than sorry.
A month at trade school? You mean 4 years of on the job training then 2-3 months of school each year? Yeah that's simplifying it a whole bunch. Running and terminating a couple wires from point a to point b and calling yourself an electrician is like cutting a log in half and saying your a professional faller.It's definitely not...ease up. I'm encouraging people to do research, not necessarily to just start putzing around with 220/240 lines. Watch some youtube videos, do some internet research, see if it makes you feel comfortable. This stuff is not hard. The honest truth is that if someone can learn how to do this stuff in a month at a trade school there's a good chance most people can learn to do it on their own with some research.
I have zero problems paying for things I don't want to do or aren't comfortable doing around my house, but people paying a lot of money for relatively simple tasks just because they thought it was difficult is almost shameful.
No doubt, but it makes sense to do the small amount of research (5 minutes) to see if that is something you think you can do then make the decision instead of just assume you can't and pay someone.It may be the case for some that the cost of doing the research, discerning reputable sources of information, understanding electrical codes and local municipal regulations, complying with insurance requirements, acquiring tools and materials, among other things, outweigh what it costs to hire a licensed electrician. There seems to be room for both approaches, and DIY installations make sense for those who are already familiar with this type of work.
Your garage layout and charger placement is almost identical to mine. I'm not going to say how much I paid, because people will make fun of me.$850 for an installation of a wall connector on a 60amp circuit and a fairly good run of wire (pic attached). Not sure how that would compare to an installation of a nema 14-50 . Also not sure if the cost of a nema 14-50 outlet is officially qualified for the EV charging station tax credit, but it probably passes muster. Total cost of the charger and install was $1,350 ~ $945 net of tax credit. I'll take it for a safe system installed by a pro since I have absolutely no business messing around with that much juice.
And I wouldn't disagree with any of that - Being able to do something like this wouldn't make you an electrician. What I'm saying is this type of install, for the vast majority of people, is something they can do with a bit of research. I'd agree that getting a permit and having the city inspector come check it out should be done for just about any home changes, so you're covered, but doing a bit of research and making an honest call on whether you can actually do the work properly should be the starting point for just about anything.A month at trade school?

Do yourself a favor and get permits if you're going to do it yourself. You'd hate to have an electrical fire - even if it's not your fault entirely but your work gets blamed and your insurance gets cancelled. Like I said in a previous post, I've seen no shortage of insanely bad home owner special work done cause they watched a YouTube video (who also didn't do the work properly). Stay safe.
I can tell you that none of the MY LR with the following VIN sequence (189xxx, 194xxx, 195xxx) at the Carlsbad SC had new head lights. Build date 5/19@FloridaSun , since you’re waiting at the SC, have you spotted any LRs with new headlights? Still trying to confirm what @bigdaddyreg saw that night.
Would love to see pics!Picked up the car yesterday. Fit and Finish was very good. I only had one issue really and that is my driver side door requires much more force to close than the other 3 doors. Mobile service is already coming out today to fix it.
I ordered 04/07 and as I understand it all cars being delivered in May have no Radar. I was hoping that because my order was in early April I would get one with radar but that was not the case. I decided to take ownership and join this beta program. The car is still the car I remembered test driving. Everything I tested still worked as I remembered. Still nervous about it but this is an unconventional company with unconventional ideas and at the core, I think that is why we are all here or most of us anyway.
Complete all the paperwork you can now. When they release batches and the site goes down you will have a hard time completing it. If you think the site being unresponsive is bad now, wait till you need to add proof of insurance, final payment, or accept terms when your 4 hours from delivery
All this stress instantly goes away when you're pulling off the lot in this amazing machine.
Good luck to you all.
@FloridaSun, the new headlights have a round projector lens on the outside edge. The current/old headlights have a series of squares/rectangles.Honestly, I don't even know the difference between old and new. How can I spot the difference?
Just called to apply for Tesla's preferred financing over the phone and they got my delivery scheduled for tomorrow at 5! Now I just need to call insurance and figure out who I'm financing withI had to call the delivery center for them to set up my delivery for tomorrow at 5 pm. Supposedly they are waiting for my temp tags.
Glad you had a great experience.Picked up the car yesterday. Fit and Finish was very good. I only had one issue really and that is my driver side door requires much more force to close than the other 3 doors. Mobile service is already coming out today to fix it.

Based on my limited knowledge, you will also need to torque the screw on the breaker to correct specification according to the wire gauge, right?I studied electrical engineering long time ago but never worked in the field.. However, hooking up the outlet requires little electrical knowledge other than that you have to get the correct gauge wire and that white goes at the place in the panel where all the white wires go... ground goes to the place where all ground wires go, and of course, turn off the main breaker for the install... and the other 2 wires connect to the breaker.. It's not rocket science..
I think anyone prior to May 15 will get it in June.
Oh wow I ordered May 10 says 5-12 weeksSomeone just posted this on the Tesla group I follow on Facebook. I’m sorry but this makes my blood boil. Same SC, more than a month apart…

Went by Richmond VA SC this morning, lot is full and they were offloading a truck. Looked like 4 MY,s ready for pickup. Hopefully mine is in the lot waiting to be processed.Vin 190XXX received this morning - Config in signature. Order placed January 2020 but off Hold May 6, 2021. Exactly three weeks to receive VIN. Pickup tomorrow PM. My last EDD before the VIN was June 14 to June 30.
You should reach out to see what’s available. My vin and delivery date was all done via email. My account was inaccessible until late last night. I was finally able to submit payment after the site came back.I'm happy about our VINs getting here but now I'm impatiently waiting to schedule delivery haha
Everyone is graduating Model Y Class of Q2 2021 but us.I mean, I'm happy for you all but I think I liked this thread better when we were all in the same boat. Haha! Front end date pushed back by a day, which is a daily occurrence now, so I'm at June 1 - June 17th for a Bay Area delivery of a 7 seater white on white.
