Discussion: Model Y General Waiting room for orders placed After January 2023

[Fly Juice]

Howdy Folks,

This is my 1st post so here goes. We ordered a Long Range Y in white, black interior on the 14th of January. EDD changed to 2/8/2023 to Feb 22, 2023 ten days back. We live 40 minutes from Fremont.
My guess is that the EDD date will change again on the morning of the 9th.
Take care folks and be safe.

Thanks Cyclone. I see MVPA but it doesn't have tax, title, registration etc. I am paying cash and an reluctant to use ACH.
SA did give the amount lets see if it gets updated later in the week

Even when you click "completed tasks"? Mine showed tax, registration, $500 NY rebate, $10 NY Tire fee, etc all within minutes of my initial order. My "order agreement" doesn't have any of this.

I got the same thing with an EDD 3/12-3/31, was curious if it was just a blast to open orders, or if it meant anything.

Tesla going to tell everyone - "So everyone needs to stop refreshing their apps every 5 seconds - our servers cannot handle the constant load.. We will reach out when we're ready to proceed with next steps."

Are you maybe in a state that Tesla doesn’t do the registration and taxes for you? Registering Your Tesla | Tesla Support

If you lived in South Carolina, for instance, Tesla wouldn’t collect any of that and it would give you a Certificate of Origin to file for the title and registration yourself. That’s where the fees would be collected.

It could also be the SA hasn’t put in the details yet though.

Just received an email invitation to a 1-hour online session called Get to Know Your Next Steps on 2/17? Was an automated mailing since my EDD is 2/21 - 3/21?

The one I got was encouraging me to explore trading in a currently owned car.....

In Georgia they do registration so that is not an issue.
SA gave me a figure which is different that the MSRP+destination-order fee and it matches what I got first that had expected out the door, including 3.00 GA lemon law fee. But that number has a caveat - may change as delivery comes closed.

you probably are right SA hasn't put in the details.

Ordered from local inventory on Friday, picked it up today. Got lucky that it was available, and before the price increase came into effect.

Was expecting a ton of issues, so far can’t find a thing wrong with it. The drunk latch needs to be adjusted so that I don’t have to slam it, but other than that everything is perfect.

Fremont build.

As someone who used to be in the automotive styling industry, let me give some insight on PPF and ceramic coating. Just to give some context I’m in SoCal and have been out of the business for 2 years now but still have plenty of friends in the business that I talk to frequently.

Over 50% of our clients were Tesla owners. The most popular package that we sold was a full front PPF (front bumper, hood, front fenders, headlights, fog lights, mirror caps, trunk lip) and ceramic coat the rest of the car (also did chrome deletes before they changed to black trim). Just the front end PPF was just over $2k that we charged. I would suspect anything over $1500 is normal for a full front. Anything less than that I would second guess the qualify of work you’re getting. Also if they’re pre cut kits and they don’t wrap around the edges and don’t require any disassembly that would be significantly cheaper and faster for the installer but you would see dirt accumulate around the corners and edges very quickly. Also lifting on those spots was common. As a for profit business we have to cover our overhead so we need to charge a fair amount that keeps us profitable. If you find someone that works out of their own garage that may be the most cost effective way but I sure hope he has experience.

Point about ceramic coating a lot of people don’t take into consideration is the paint correct step before applying the coating. Applying coating is very simple and straightforward but even a brand new car from any manufacturer will have paint defects. If you don’t paint correct before applying the coating then whatever imperfection (swirls, scratches, damages, etc.) will be embedded in the coating. Later on it would require having to remove the coating to get to those imperfections and make the whole process a lot more costly and risky. Most of the cost will be the paint correction process. Pricing for this also varies the most between shops but be sure to ask about whether or not they will do a paint correction before applying the coating.

Ceramic coating on top of PPF is nice but not necessary IMO. It does make the car easier to clean and theoretically would prolong the life of the PPF from yellowing but I have yet to see a car with it on long enough to definitely say how much more life you will get.

Maintenance is key for anything you do, whether it’s PPF, ceramic coating or vinyl wrapping. A car that is garaged and not directly in the sun will last significantly longer than one that is. If you live by the ocean that will degrade the material much faster as well. Cleaning the car regularly is a big emphasis on maintaining all the work you paid to have done. Most PPF films have a 10 year warranty but be mindful when you remove it it may peel the paint off. Tesla doesn’t have the best quality of paint so I wouldn’t recommend keeping the film on that long. Maybe replace it every 5-7 years depending how much damage it has suffered.

Does anyone else from Seattle/PNW feel like our VIN assignments are behind schedule compared to other markets? I'm watching everyone's announcements based on their order date and configuration, and it seems like Seattle is behind schedule. I'd love to be wrong about this!

Yep. My dates are moving by the day now. It moved from Jan 25 to Feb 6. Now Feb 7-21

New here with same email.
... excited for my first Tesla.

OD 1/26 - (Dublin CA pick up)
1/27 Finalized registration, trade, payment type, etc tasks
MYLR Silver/Blk /19
EDD Feb - Mar
2/1 received EDD 3/6-31
2/4 edit order adding tow hitch
No chance to EDD
2/4 ordered mobile connector
2/6 received invite to 2/17 online meeting - seems like a blast to open orders
2/7 mobile connector to arr
Fingers crossed as I thought shipment of mobile connector was to be shipped closer to EDD. I may have messed that up ordering it more recently, but the not in the shop on delivery indicated it would ship closer to EDD.

Mobile connector is independent - I was hoping they were in sync.

I ordered the same config on 1/27 and completed tasks within 30 minutes. EDD went from Jan - Mar to 3/26-3/31 in SoCal. Mobile connector was shipped on 1/28 and received on 2/2. EDD unchanged. Signed up for the 2/17 meeting.
