Any fellow Michiganders waiting? I ordered the Tesla MYLR last week after checking out the model that was in Somerset Mall. This is a big change of direction for me as I get a GM employee discount and habitually lease. One thing that annoys me about GM is that this is my 4th car in a row with radio problems. I'm also tired of negotiating at dealer. Also if you haven't already heard the news we have a $2500 credit for EV is Michigan as of last week.

Hello!
Been waiting for our X since Feb 2021. I hadn't heard of the Michigan tax credit. Do you have any more info? All I could find was Whitmer is expected to announce it soon. Thanks!

All I heard was $2500. I suspect it will have limits like the Federal credit. DTE has credits too.
I really like the X. The wait is still so long. I hope you get it soon. Although the snow tomorrow makes the wait easier.

Yes, supposedly $500 of that $2,500 includes $500 for charger installation.All I heard was $2500. I suspect it will have limits like the Federal credit. DTE has credits too.

I thought this thread was about how slow the Clarkston Michigan service center is at getting parts.
Hey did you all see this? I believe it is going to be near Michigan Central Station. (Last place I want to run out of battery life.) But still interesting. Wonder if there are other roads like this around the country.

Agreed and for anyone who has to use them. ALWAYS check they have the part in before showing up for the appointment. They have no issues with letting you show up and saying it’s not in yet, do you want to just cancel service or reschedule?
edit: also they like to say they need to open another ticket because ”insert reason”, we’ll schedule it for you and let you know. Then they just close original ticket with work completed, replaced part and leave you hanging. Then you have to start over and they say we just replaced that part.
Picking up my MYP at the Grand Rapids Service Center next week. Hoping for good weather. I don’t want to have to inspect it outside in a snow storm
Re: the $2500 credit ($2000 vehicle, $500 EV charger)
From what I understand, this is a proposal that still needs to make its way thru the legislature.
The only incentives in MI, at the moment, are from utility companies like Consumers or DTE. They offer $500 credits, if you buy a Chargepoint or Juicebox charger.

I am starting to get spring fever and my delivery date has not changed since ordering.
Meanwhile, decided against installing the Tesla charger in the garage. Going to go with the 220/dryer plug. I think my girls will get an in a few years and want it to be more generic. What are you all doing with the plug situation. Are you doing the second meter? Doesn't seem cost effective to me.

Picked up my MYP Feb 11th at the Grand Rapids SC. Car came with a small dent/scratch on the front driver door sill.
GR SC was very flexible. Allowing me to delay delivery for it to be repaired locally, or accept delivery and take loaner for 1 week while it is in repair, or accept delivery and have it fixed at a later date.
I chose to have it fixed later.
One other interesting thing about the deliver is the alignment was off. On the way back to Kalamazoo, it was tracking funny down the highway. I made an appointment back in GR on the following Monday, and they found the toe and the camber were off. Grand Rapids SC provided a free alignment.
Got a quote of like $740 to install a NEMA 14-50 plug 25ft away from the panel.
Consumers Energy/DTE provide $500 credit for Chargepoint or Juicebox level 2 charger. I purchased the Chargepoint unit, but need to have it installed before I can submit for the $500 credit.
Took a road trip this weekend from Portage to Grand Haven and back. Left the house with 81% SOC, or about 245 miles range. I thought this would be sufficient, as it is about 100mi/one way. Had to stop at the Hudsonville supercharger, as we pulled in with 35mi of range. This was with temps at 35 degrees, and strong winds.
All in all, a great purchase.
I have a 5.79kW solar array with net metering. I will be watching my monthly bills to see if I finally start to consume more electric than I produce. If I charge during Consumers Energy super off peak period (11pm to 6AM), the rate is 7cents/kWh. From 2-7pm, the rate is 14.9cents/kWh. Financially, the more I produce (and offset) during 2-7pm, the more credits I earn. Really happy I went solar first, then EV.

I got the schedule email/text tonight to pickup my MYP. I ordered Feb 15 and was offered an identical built that someone backed out on. I was told that it’s a Ryzen, fingers crossed.
