For what this may be worth, I got a reply from the store where I did my test drives:

1. They completely ignored all of my questions/concerns about Tesla Vision
2. They’re installing PPF on the rear doors but mud flaps must be purchased
3. They said that the new headlights are MYP exclusive

Anyone doing Mt Kisco delivery... I just talked to someone there and he told me they're doing 50-60 deliveries a day starting next week for the next 3 weeks.. he said count on getting a VIN within 5 days max most likely

Thanks. That's me.

This is locality regulated. Check your own county and state laws.

No it's not. In the United States they can't prevent you from doing work on your own home, they can only make sure it's up to code if you do. They can require that anyone you hire is licensed, but they can't prevent you from doing your own.

Thanks that’s me too! Glad to know that there will be a lot of movement soon!

I am more than likely going to punt on this one and be put back in to the queue.

I am posting my experience so others can get a feel for Tesla experience so they can make a better educated purchase.

Why on earth would the system assign a VIN with a delivery date that can't be met by THEM because it's on an internal service hold? Like, what sense does that even make?

I'm betting the Service and Sales systems are entirely segregated, so when the Sales system says "A car is ready - give me a user waiting for this configuration" it doesn't realize that the car has a Service hold placed on it.

I'm not saying that's OK, I'm just saying that's probably how it works. This is exactly the situation where Dealerships are actually good...because they actually buy the cars from the Manufacturer before reselling to you, they usually intercept these kinds of issues

^This.
I used to do all my own electrical work and get it inspected and then we moved to San Antonio where the city states:
The City of San Antonio Chapter 10 requires that a licensed and bonded and registered as an Electrical Contractor in order to do any and all electrical work.

Not sure where you got that code, but it's not accurate. The State of Texas has been very clear about this, as has the Federal government:

Exemptions to Electrician Licensing

www.tdlr.texas.gov

EDIT: I should mention that's the Exemption - The Code is for anyone doing electrical work requires an Electricians license, but anyone doing work on their own home is exempt from needing it. You still should get a permit and have the inspector look it over to make sure it's up to code (so you don't have any insurance issues if you have a fire), but you're free to do the work yourself. This is the case everywhere in the United States, as multiple SCOTUS cases have been decided around people being able to "modify" their own homes and cars.

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

I'm in Florida. Just had an electrician come out to install a whole-house surge protector to reduce the lightning strike problem, cost estimate was $250. I asked how much to install a 50amp breaker and a 14-50 circuit in garage (right next to the box). He said he would bundle the cost and do both for $480. The job took about 90 minutes and turned out great.

My electrician is here doing mine now. $300, parts and labor. Outlet is about 20' from my breaker panel.

 

[PaleBlueDot]

I... am... trying!

Poor Capt. I am surprised you don't have a VIN yet since our cars, outside of FSD, are twins. If they made mine they should have made yours at the same time.

 

[MYFungi]

Has anyone been switched from pick up to delivery?

I didn't even know until I called to see if I could pick up any earlier than Sunday.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

IDK which one would take precedence, local or state. I tried calling to get a permit pulled to do the work on my chargers and they asked for my license #. When I told them that I was the homeowner, they acted shocked and basically said what I quoted before and told me to call an electrician.
So I tried to do it the right way by myself and that's a no-go (not like it stopped me )

EDIT:
I also saw this on the website you linked:
*NOTE: Municipal or regional regulations may override these exemptions, as outlined in Sec. 1305.201 of the Texas Electrical Safety and Licensing Act.

EDIT 2: I see your edit haha

No it's not. In the United States they can't prevent you from doing work on your own home, they can only make sure it's up to code if you do. They can require that anyone you hire is licensed, but they can't prevent you from doing your own.

That's a little bit absolutist. Before you do your own electrical work, you should understand how your locality views that work, if you require permits, if you require an electrician, and what the consequences are if you don't follow the "rules".

You should also train yourself with books, videos or whatever your medium of choice is to do it correctly. Just because you are permitted to do a thing, doesn't make it wise.

Sweet, here hoping we all get in before the state incentive gets lowered.

 

[pmas1998]

Anyone 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

Mine did not. I bought mud flaps and put them on this morning (got the car yesterday). Planning to get PPF soon.

I have to bring a Cashiers Check with me at pickup... My Credit Union where I have my checking account does not seem to be supported by their payment system (Can't connect to your Financial Institution), so I called Tesla and they said that bringing a Cashiers Check is fine.. Went to my Credit Union already and got the Cashiers Check... 3.5 hours until pickup.. I'm excited!!

Good news! I will be using the Tampa site to pick up my MYLR hopefully in the next few weeks. I bank at NFCU and was planning to use that account to make the payment. Looking forward to hearing about your delivery experience.

That's the only place on the entire internet that's written...Chapter 10 doesn't have anything specific about requiring an electrician to do work in one's own home.

 

[jbsmoovies]

didn't appear that they have ppf

Seeing any Blue Performance on the lot, my good sir?

That's a little bit absolutist. Before you do your own electrical work, you should understand how your locality views that work, if you require permits, if you require an electrician, and what the consequences are if you don't follow the "rules".

Agreed with all of that, though multiple States and the Federal government have passed cases to say homeowners can do their own work as long as they're getting the requisite permits, it's up to code, and it's inspected.

 

[cheryltunt]

How about we all just agree that some folks will pay electricians and some won't... some people want to spend their $1000 one way and others another. Just be safe and make sure what you're doing is legal.

@Anndybo I’m rooting for you. If they built yours, they built mine! Pulling for team midwest here. I just called my SC and they said my car was produced and is currently on a train towards Chicago. Should expect it later next week. They cannot see the VIN at this time. Online says "5-9 weeks...
