How Early is too Early to get the Y

[lnsh]

Ordered dual motor Y to replace a ‘19 RAV4 hybrid. Purchased the RAV assuming late-20/early-21 timeline. Early production may throw a slight bump in the timeline. We’re hoping a receiver hitch for a bike rack materializes by production - as that is a deal-breaker regardless of timeline.

Last full charge was 318 miles at 18k miles. When I first got the car Tesla stated range was 310 miles for a long range RWD model.
Tesla announced owners would get an upgrade to 325 miles which happened to some but probably a minority of owners with this configuration.
I charge to 80% daily and have never super charged. Use 18" aeros for my winter tires and 18" turbine wheel the rest of the year. Overall WH/mi is 255 with winter averaging much higher.
Even temperatures in the 50's affect range..

Thank you! Quite helpful information

I have not ordered one yet. I want to see one first. Will probably get the LR AWD.

Replacing a 2008 Jeep with 200,000+ miles and a blown out suspension.

Keeping the Jeep for a project.

Ordered then cancelled. Will wait for price drop after enthusiasts pick up theirs. Also HW4 is of interest.

Doubt the price will go down since the model 3 pricing is the price floor for the Y. Seems as though the Y pricing doesn’t have any room to go lower.

I agree. The two constraints Tesla faces, battery and Fremont capacity, suggests that Tesla will be production constrained for a couple of years. This would mean fewer lower spec cars and no price cutting.

I would imagine that to be applicable to the pick up truck, model Y shouldn't be constrained as it is 75% similar to model 3 which can be produced in "mass". Plus they will also produce Y in China (not taking into account tariffs, if any).

Interest would increase if Tesla decided to offer a 6 seat version.

Ordered. replace Prius Plug-in

Same!

I have not ordered yet but will early next year. My Model Y will replace my 2015 Model S 85D.

Ordered 7-seat (should give them some practice time), replacing '05 Taurus. Y will be there first new car my wife or I have ever bought.

Y?

 

[McManX]

Haven’t ordered yet, waiting to sit in it. If I don’t like the size, getting a new X

Ordered my Y last night. I figure I'm far enough back in the queue that the early kinks will be worked out before my order comes up.

Yes, 7-seat won't be available until 2021. Plenty of time for them to fix issues. Maybe late 2021, if you are back in long queue.

"Driving America Forward Act .. " There is some chance that this might become law in 2021.. Maybe in time for Y to get $7000 tax credit.. Tesla may raise the price..

so pre-order now to lock in the price just in case.

I've wondered about this "queue". With the Model 3 it was getting a reservation to basically be in line. This time I'm curious if they will do it based off order time or if it will be more like they just start with certain cars and match up people that live the closest for a while. I imagine the early deliveries will still all be in California and move out. But still not sure about how the line will be done. That being said, I just placed my order like 2 weeks ago, so if there is a line, I'm right there with you!

Had a 3 reserved. Refunded to wait for Y. Haven't ordered yet while I save and pay off my wife's car.
Will be replacing a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis.

LR AWD Y ordered on day 1. Replacing a 2017 Forester XT. The Y plus a 2105 Leaf means we're finally all electric.

I have to wait until my X lease expires in mid 2021 to order. At that time I will see if I go with the Y or stay with the X.

Not going to become law unless we have a Democratic Senate and President. The people we have now want us to burn coal in our cars.

Haven't ordered yet. If I order now, not sure I'll have the funds when my place in line comes up. Since we already own a 3, I'm not too concerned with being in the back of the line.
