Current Delivery Times

I always parked butt backwards (nose out) with all of my cars, the ones with exhausts out their back . Actually literally everywhere, not just my garage/driveway. I barely pulled nose in anywhere.
It will come in handy with the MY since the outlet is on the inner side of the garage, and the charging port will be closer, once parked nose out.

It’s much safer to park nose out to avoid people who don’t pay attention in the parking lot. Especially with little ones in back!

I will likely back the Tesla in. We'll see about my wife. I've tried backing my Subaru in but the narrow curving driveway combined with the uphill slope and feathering the clutch makes it a bit trickier and filled the garage with fumes.

GOT MY VIN!!!!!!! 299XXX #TeamRed

Never thought this day would finally come! EDD is now 10/26/-10/30.

What was your EDD before VIN?

 

[Arkbird]

Hooray! That's exciting! My email and account refreshing frequency has increased considerably recently. The anxiety is real...the next days until delivery for you are probably going to be even worse!

Only took until my third time reaching my EDD to get a VIN. Now I'm going to run up to the service center and see about trade-in and delivery plus changing to financing. Tesla offered $1k more than a month ago when I looked at doing a trade-in with them.

10/24-11/3. But my EDD moved twice after I was within my EDD window before it finally gave me the VIN today.

Congrats! Exact same build as mine, but you’re 2 weeks ahead of me. Hope that trend continues!

Guess they will be calling you any day now to schedule delivery!! Congrats!!

#TeamRed let's hope they build these in batches so you can get one ASAP.

I thought they might call today but they haven't. They're closed tomorrow so I guess it'll be Monday. I also need to schedule PPF.

Father ordered a model Y yesterday, EDD is April 2022. Going to be a long 6 months!

Well she’s home! I took delivery today, and aside from a minor gap issue on the front right headlight (scheduled service for next week), everything was perfect! Even being stuck in terrible traffic driving from VA back to MD was more or less pleasant!

And yeah, I let my wife name the car as she has a pretty anti-Tesla stance* and she said this would help her “like it more”

*anti-Tesla b/c she hates Elon, not b/c she hates electric cars, just to clarify.

Funny enough, I just finished converting my NEMA 14-50 outlet to a wall connector last night. Now if I only had a car to charge…

What’s involved in the conversion? I have a 14-50 but am considering a wall charger

I took the delivery from Peabody MA today. Overall a good car delivery experience. There was only one minor issue in the car at a small corner on the rear liftgate, the paint was chipped (right besides the glass). I took the delivery anyways and have taken a service appointment to get that fixed.

The car is amazing. The odometer read 3 miles at delivery time and I have put 40+ miles on it after delivery. Coming out of delivery, I had trouble for a couple of minutes in getting used to regenerative braking, but was able to adjust in a few minutes. (Later, driving my older ICE car, I was missing the one-pedal driving )

The car was charged to 90% on delivery.

See the pictures (along with small paint chip)

Congrats!! And lol at the Elon hate. I have no special love for billionaires but I’m always confused by the hate piled on him when *gestures at all the other CEOs who do horrible stuff, but quietly*. I doubt you’ll find any angels in automotive and oil industry execs

You would think they would at least allow the front camera to be used in parking. Or even better use it as a 360 view.

I think for a car to stitch together footage for 360 view the cameras have to be mounted at the same height. So they’d need a front camera mounted near the hood/front bumper area.

What’s involved in the conversion? I have a 14-50 but am considering a wall charger

Key things for my specific case were:

1. Make sure I moved my wire beside a stud for mounting the wall connector. The 14-50 outlet wasn’t beside a beam, so I had to move the wire, which involved me having to cut into the drywall a bit. It also helped me get more wire length (which may most likely be needed) by tracing it back a bit while cutting.

2. Switch out my current 40A breaker for a 60A breaker. One thing I had to do before this was to be 100% sure that the wire was already a 6 gauge. The wall connector can still be installed with thinner wires, but the thinner you go the less max current can be pulled (WC’s max current is 48A which would require at least a 6 gauge wire and 60A breaker).

I think other than these points (and having to patch my wall back up ) everything else was from the instruction manual. Also, I would say if you’re not somewhat competent with electrical components, I’d recommend leaving it to a pro.

Given my EDD got pushed to a narrower non-28 day window that's suspiciously ending 12/31... any chance it moves up at this point? Given a late June order....

Hmmm... sure about your choices here? You do you...but this doesn't sound right

60 amp circuit breaker with 14-50?

I ultimately put in the 50 amp breaker with the Nema 14-50. I have the Wall Connector ordered and out for delivery (I can't believe it's ground FedEx). I can upgrade the breaker to 60 amps and then have the WC installed if I keep it. The electrician thought I should install it outside if the...

Yea the front bumper one is missing which I find really odd tbh. Not sure why they’d skip out on that The ultra sonics do a decent job of telling you distance but I’d rather just see what’s there. Of course 20 years ago I would have parked my parents Toyota Previa minivan in tight spaces with no camera or complaints, so I know I’m being spoilt

I generally like Elon, especially for what he’s done to make EVs attractive and somewhat attainable for the masses. What he’s been able to do with Tesla is huge, and his extraordinary vision is paying off. Then there are things that make me uncomfortable as a shareholder and a customer, specifically the broken promises (autonomous robotaxis in 2020, Tesla having secured funding to go private, anything FSD related, etc.) but I understand that’s his management style and impossible timelines and overzealous promises is a motivational technique of his. Knowing that allows me to temper my expectations whenever he says something childish or outlandish, but people new to Musk’s style might just see him as a snake oil salesman.

I can also see his comments around COVID last year sounded like he had little empathy for the health and safety of his employees. I don’t know actual conditions at Fremont factory, but at least the tweets were not reassuring. Overall, it’d be nice if he can take a step back and assemble a superstar team to conduct operations, and he can drive the company strategy and vision.
