Did you get all-season tires as well? (I apologize if you have already addressed this)They were preinstalled, I didn't pay for them. I'll note that I didn't ask for them either, so it was a nice surprise.

My MYLR did indeed come with all-season tires. Continental ProContact RX on all 4 corners. They don't rate the greatest for treadwear but that aligns with pretty much every new car I've ever purchased. I guess we'll see how these fare after the first year.Did you get all-season tires as well? (I apologize if you have already addressed this)
Well....lets here your early read on the car?? Likes, dislikes, surprises etc ???My MYLR did indeed come with all-season tires. Continental ProContact RX on all 4 corners.

Oh and the soonest the PPF guys could get me in is early February, so I just have to be careful til then.

Love the car. I actually had my first Tesla Mobile Service experience today, they came to install my HomeLink. That was an awesome experience btw, the guy was super knowledgeable and helpful, wanted me to stick around and watch him tear apart the frunk. He asked if I had any questions or other issues I wanted him to address. I told him that my frunk was IMPOSSIBLY difficult to close. I think most Tesla people thing the newbs are just being dramatic but he tried to demonstrate the technique and was like "Whoa! That is pretty bad." (bad meaning difficult)... He spent probably 30 minutes adjusting the latch, rubber hood bumpers and the bumper itself to ensure the gaps were still good. He was pickier than I would have been. Frunk is now usable.Well....lets here your early read on the car?? Likes, dislikes, surprises etc ???
Great update! Surprised the software wasn't already updated to the most recent with a new car but I guess they all have to go thru the software procedure. I'm on the fence with homelink. Isn't it kind of pricey? Wish they had some remote link button you program to open your garage door like most cars do. I sure don't want to have the visor clip in the minimal Tesla interior. May just have to hide it in the console. Good to hear about the acceleration. I too, wondered about buying the acceleration boost.Love the car.

HomeLink works really well in my situation. It's not perfect but that is mostly due to HomeLink (doesn't know if the door is already open or closed), but it opens when I get to my driveway and closes right after the car clears the garage.
Not really a dislike but the white interior is SUPER bright, make sure you have your sunglasses on sunny days. I made an appointment to get the windows tinted while I was driving around today, and had forgotten my sunglasses.
Car is fast enough for me, I was really considering the Acceleration Boost upgrade but it's quick, certainly quicker than just about any ICE vehicle on the road.
I'm still on the fence with regard to Tesla Vision and AutoPilot (I didn't get FSD), I've had a couple of phantom breaking events at night, even on a road with a median. The auto-brights at night have also flashed people a few times, I don't think I'm going to use AP at night, at least not in town.
I was hoping to play with the Light Show feature, it's the number one thing my 12 year old son wants to see, but V11 software isn't installed and I've been told by 3 different Tesla employees that it can take "a couple weeks" from one, and "a month or two" from another. When the Mobile Service tech was out today, he said he'd try to remember to check my VIN when he got back to the office and see if he could help out there. He has to come back out anyway when my scuffed door card replacement shows up, so hopefully he remembers.
Lastly, something I need to check into a bit more; when I was getting on the freeway today, in a spirited manner, I noticed some vibration coming through the steering wheel. It didn't last long and didn't appear to be a particular speed (tire balance) issue. Something I may bring up to the service guy when he's here next...
oh since it just came to mind, my EV before this one was a '17 Chevy Bolt, which was a hoot to drive. It was kinda like a hooligan sleeper car. Nobody expects the tiny domestic 4-door hatchback to be that quick. One thing I really really miss from that car was the regen paddle, which allowed you to boost regen in one-pedal driving, meaning the conditions requiring me to use the brake pedal were few and far between. I miss that paddle... oh and CarPlay, I miss that too.
I agree. There was a comment about production model Ys with 4680s by the end of the first quarter, but by no means did they say that that would be all or even most. So, some? A few?Disappointed in big product roadmap call today. Didn't answer major question regarding Model Y and 4680's. How will Austin and Fremont differ? Produce two entirely different cars? Shift Fremont to M3/S? How do you know where your car is coming from if you order? Nobody wants the older battery technology when ordering today. Would be like ordering an iPhone 13 and they send you the 12.
I guess the best roadmap...is no roadmap :-(
That's true. Between Austin and 4680s, there is a lot of interest, and people were really hoping for a little clarity. It's not like either one of those won't affect the bottom line, bigly.Guys, that was an earnings call. The focus was financials. Product roadmaps are usually held during their own presentations. Like the battery or AI day. They also go into more detail during the annual investor meetings.
While this is true, their own presentations are not exactly the picture of transparency. On the earnings calls they are held to a higher standard, which is why I think people hope for more concrete information there.Guys, that was an earnings call. The focus was financials.

It's hard. A year ago, when you got your car in 6 weeks or less, you didn't see these changes nearly so much as you do now with a 6 month wait.I get it, however if the 4680 MY versions come out with completely superior specs to the 2170 models i.e. - range, acceleration, speed, weight, lower charging times etc. there will be mutiny. I just get tired of the mystery and lack of transparency throughout the entire ordering process. Tesla is obviously the king of innovation and technology, however, their customer service and communication leave a lot to be desired.
I just don't see how they can rationally sell two completely different models of the same car depending on your zip codeIt's hard. A year ago, when you got your car in 6 weeks or less, you didn't see these changes nearly so much as you do now with a 6 month wait.
There is so much going on with supply lines, chips, shipping, etc, I don't think they actually know what they are going to do too far ahead of actually doing it. I suppose they could just wait and start on July 1, but that's not how they work. When everything is in place to make a change, they pull the trigger.
I don't either, and I suspect that they won't. We shall see.I just don't see how they can rationally sell two completely different models of the same car depending on your zip code
Did you pick up your car yet?EDD got bumped to 1/13/2022 - 1/27/2022.
