About 400 bucks parts and laborAnyone recently install a NEMA outlet at home for charging? If so, how much did you pay for parts + labor to your electrician?

I think removing safety features will impact insurance premiums.Glad you had a great experience.
From what I have read any Model 3 and Model Y built after 4/27 does not have the radar sensor (Tesla loses U.S. designation for some advanced safety features). As Tesla pushes out software update the designations will change. So, I do not think this is a big deal.
I called to check status after 2 days and got a phone approval. Still have to submit credentials and haven't received a rate sheet to send off to Tesla.Can someone share insight into how soon does DCU approve the Auto loan? I am planning to use DCU approval to get the match from TSLA.
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 contacted DCU but was never able to get my application through for some reason even after I talked with someone on the phone. I have really good credit score (over 830 on the 850 scale). I ended up going with Bank of American which offered 2.09%. Tesla matched it right away.I called to check status after 2 days and got a phone approval.

Whats your service center?Wonderful, I was told there is a hold on my vehicle because of a blemish in the paint. SA wants me to take delivery of the car and schedule the body work later when hey are not so backed up. Its been sitting there with the work order for two weeks with nothing done to it...
Issue is, the service center does not answer the phones and my SA's request from 4 hours ago to release the vehicle from service is not getting done. I was already told by a delivery specialist there that he is too busy to deal with me, and to go through my SA. But my SA can't get the service department to respond!
Slowly but surely I'm really starting to loose faith in Tesla here. I'm not even sure I want a car that needs body repair when its brand new! I seriously cant wait until there is more competition!, I'm seeing the horror stories I read about unfold in front of me.
Looked at a P and all the ones being delivered today.. they look the same to me..They have the round part near the outside edge - that is the easiest way to tell.
When would this become effective? Hopefully as quickly as they removed the radarAnyone who has taken delivery recently, could you please confirm whether your car had mudflaps/ppf already installed by tesla?
Tesla Model Y now includes PPF and mud flaps in select markets [Update]
Tesla is now including paint protection film (PPF) and mudflaps as standard on newly built Model Y's. But this may only be for Canada.driveteslacanada.ca
I hope this doesn't come across as rude, but you should cancel your order. The fact is Tesla doesn't work like other automotive manufacturers because they don't have Dealerships, so they handle everything from warranty claims to delivery differently. This week is extremely abnormal because they're delivering more cars this week than they have in 2+ months combined so they are very busy. The car shouldn't need repair when it's brand new...but then don't accept it.Wonderful, I was told there is a hold on my vehicle because of a blemish in the paint.

The tone of the article sounds to me like it's just a matter of time for the agency to get their hands on a Tesla without radar and confirm those features are still working.I think removing safety features will impact insurance premiums.
I would also note that having the knowledge gives you information. I'm quite comfortable doing electrical work as I spent 5+ years as a theatrical electrician. However, when it came time to install my Tesla charger (hard line) + NEMA 14-50 outlet for my wife's car I hired someone. It's not about how comfortable I feel, it's about a pro doing a good job. My knowledge means I can look at their work and approve it before I pay, or say "hey, that's not code" or "that doesn't look right".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.
here are the headlights that are in all the new ones I see..They have the round part near the outside edge - that is the easiest way to tell.
Wow, that's awesome that the LR headlights match the P now. I wonder where the VIN cutoff is for LR with new headlights. Thanks for looking for us, @FloridaSun !Looked at a P and all the ones being delivered today.. they look the same to me..

I would also note that a good electrician takes the time to do the job right. I paid $800 for my two installs, but we over spec'd the wire to the 14-50 outlet (#4 instead of #6) in case we want to upgrade the breakers to 60AMP to get a 48AMP charger (note that you have to have a 60A circuit for a 48A charger) and replace the outlet with a hardline (also note that a 60A outlet doesn't exist, so full speed charging at 48A lvl 2 has to be a hard line). They installed conduit, made it look nice and they certify their work. 3.5 hours for a 2-man crew to do the job right + cost of materials totaled $800, that time that I had to work and earn money was worth paying a pro.
I paid $800, but the cable (4AWG/4 Conductor) would have been about $6/ft (about 40' needed for my install) or $240 + NEMA Outlet $50 + Conduit $30 + Breakers $25 + Contactor Breaker Switch (for generator) $60 . So I would have paid $405 for materials. That means I spent about $100/hour for a 2 man crew to do the work for me. Well worth every penny, since their work is also insured and certified by inspection.
Oh wait, those are the "old"/current LR headlight design still. Thank you though.here are the headlights that are in all the new ones I see..View attachment 666906
No mud flaps on any of them..
PPF: YesAnyone who has taken delivery recently, could you please confirm whether your car had mudflaps/ppf already installed by tesla?
