Florida Waiting Room

[Vladimir*22]

Are you getting the products locally or ordering online?

I ordered it from amazon - it was actually cheaper than local

M3LR - I think its the security system doing it but I am losing about 9 miles, I dont know what % that is, of range per 12 hours of the car sitting. Just a note that if I plan on leaving it at an airport for an extended time - I am going to do a 100% charge prior to that. If its left in a non-covered garage in the summer you will lose a lot more in Florida with the internal temps going above 105 and the safety system kicks in. I dont like the options I have read about disabling the security system at airports.

If I lose 18 miles a day with only the security system on that could put me in a bad pace when I get back. From what I have read Ft. Lauderdale Airport does not have public chargers, they are only available if you valet.

Ya, you lose 1mi/hr with sentry mode enabled. On my last trip I just turned sentry mode off at the airport and parked near a camera. No issues and plenty of charge when we got back.

You can always enable it through the app remotely if you want or to check the live view cameras.

Currently it is 72 degrees. @ 10am and my internal temp is saying its 90, according to the app. I cant imagine what its going to be in the summer when we are hitting the high 90's
I am not a fan of dark tint on the car - it looks nice but my Camaro had it and its horrible at night. I would have to roll down the windows at crosswalks to make sure nobody was coming before i drove off so i wouldnt run over a kid.

another thing about tint is that other states have different laws, like VA, they can pull you over and ticket you even though you don't live in their state for tint that exceeds their requirement. I was pulled over 3 times in VA when I lived in MD and had to pay fines.

I tinted the windows and love it, ceramic tint helps a lot. You can vent the windows if it’s a nice day out.

In terms of tint being too dark, you can use the screen and cameras as a backup if needed. I did 15% and I can still see out but find myself relying on the screen more anyway.

Oh yeah, with the Tesla’s rear windows already shaded dark, it can get a lot darker with extra tint but you don’t have to go dark to get the heat rejection.
We tinted my wife’s MY windshield 70% which you can’t really see but you can definitely feel the difference with the heat.

Was it an automated car wash with brushes or a touch less car wash?

It had brushes, they claimed they use it to clean all the Tesla’s that come in lol

Just wanted to let people who, like me, dont have PPF or ceramic coat and are not going to get it. I waxed the car with Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax and the bug splats come off with no issues with a wet cloth. I understand it doesnt protect for chips and other stuff but this option works for me. It also has UV protection. My plan is to wax every other week to keep the car covered in fresh wax.

I’ve been doing this since I got my M3 and still no issues with paint. My Chevy had marks the first week I took it on the highway. I have to give them credit, the paint isn’t that bad.

Also, I’m the proud father of a new 2022 MY taking delivery on Dec 9th.

They are legit not giving anyone time. She said she tried to hold it but corporate is blocking them. They are forcing to take the VIN but oh well. Going to enjoy this bad boy until my MS comes (unless my love grows too much and I hold the MS and really piss them off).

Turns off Sentry mode. That’s the biggest juice killer. Also disable TeslaFi or 3rd party tele,try systems so your car can sleep. Sentry ate the most juice for me.

You will love the car. Model Ys are sweet.

Unsure how long my August order will hold for. Supposedly until late March but no idea if the new rule change will force me to accept something in Dec/Jan/Feb. Have not gotten an threatening e-mail yet.

Yeah I know I’ll love it, just idk if my love for the MS will be stronger since I still haven’t driven the new one lol. Also, it seems to be any orders that got the super low rates. Is your model y below $52,000

$54K base plus color and interior premium.

Folks in the August thread have EDDs all over December and some in early Jan (my last EDD was late Jan). Since mine is the red color I expect it later than other orders given history. I suspect Tesla isn’t eyeing me because my EDD was 2022 originally. My hold is until end of March and given what has transpired I won’t be able to extend.

Mine is. My MY is $49,9k base. No email yet, but EDD is 12/17-12/31. SA knows I want it in 2022 and never put it on “hold.”

 

[InsanelyOK]

@InsanelyOK I hope it is better for the MYP, otherwise expect a bit of jumping around.

Updated on Wednesday 11/24 to a 14 day window 12/10-24. I’m not sure if this is a good thing or not. I read some places that once you get a 14 day window you should be close to getting a VIN but who really knows.

I picked up the Model Y today. The MY looked pretty good overall. Perhaps the frunk and hatch could be aligned a bit better, but not too bad. I had (have) a couple noob questions/issues, but I’ll ask in the MY Noob sub-forum. I had some delivery issues, but I had time to inspect the car fairly well. It didn’t take long for the cameras to calibrate, so I used the autopilot on the highway on my trip home.

Now I’m waiting on my Model S order. I hope it arrives next year. If I really like the Y, I may just cancel the MS.

Oh wow. Congrats then. I placed my order on hold a few weeks ago till 12/20. They haven’t reached out yet but I guess I’m not an old order and haven’t been on hold longer than 6 months.

say it ain’t so. I thought that was taboo. Lol. I doubt the SCs have time to hand wash every car.

Don't ever cancel. @Samier_RN or me would probably like to take over your reservation

Oh, if you find issues create a service appointment. Technically they allow 100 miles or 24-48 hours(?). Take photos and upload to service appointment.

for some reason I dont have the camera on the app - maybe because I havent been updated yet.

Yeah, if you have a cheaper MS I’ll gladly take it lolololol mine is $89,990

You need the newest software update. I cannot remember which it is. 2021.36 is what I have and it’s 1 update shy of the camera on app.
