So we have had the Model Y 7 seater for 2 days now.
Here is my story for anyone who wants to read
TLDR:
- ordered Oct 25/2021 Original EDD: June 2022 (the EDD on the order page)
- Model Y LR | Ext White | Int Black | Seats 7 | Wheels 19" | Tow No | FSD added Aug 23
- Pick up Location: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
- 27 EDD changes final EDD Sept 12-17
- VIN Sept 1
- Delivered to Service Centre Sept 13
- Pick up Sept 15
- Almost 11 months waiting
- Small hiccup with financing but settled easy
- One noticeable misalignment that was fixed quick by the tech
- Love the acceleration
- I doubted the percentage and over charged at my first supercharger visit (projection was spot on!)
- Looking forward to testing the range out in the winter!
I ordered my Model Y LR 7 seater on Oct 25/2021. White exterior and black interior with no tow or FSD. I had a lot of EDD changes (27 EDDs by the end). I kept a list of them for fun to see where they moved around.
I added FSD on Aug 23 hoping that this might help. As at that time I was getting 2 week windows. Getting to day two of the window then being pushed out a week. I don’t think it helped but I got my VIN on Sept 1.
I never got a text and the VIN was not in my app. I actually had asked my advisor by text a couple days prior to open my financing so I could try to lock in my interest rate (rumours of it going higher in a couple days). Found a MVPA with the VIN but this disappeared when I completed my loan application. It was not visible anywhere but the source code. Once my loan was approved (within a couple hours) I could see my VIN in the online website but it did not appear in the app till Sept 12.
I kept getting EDD changes after my VIN, was able to schedule pick up on Sept 12 for Sept 16. I did set up auto pay for my loan some time around the 9th (forgot to write that down) with a photo of a void cheque. Got a text sept 13 that the vehicle had a arrived and we could pick it up earlier. Changed pick up day to Sept 15. On Sept 14, using my original MVPA I was able to get my plates registered (comes with insurance) as they only needed the price and taxes. I started my package policy then, as well as got a bank certified cheque for the down payment ($40,000).
Packed up phone holder, floor mats, vent covers, cup holder liner, and screen protector to take with us. The drive was about 3.5 hours to the service centre.
They let us spend as much time as we wanted with the car. We did have one hiccup that the tire tax was forgotten on the totals. So new paper work had to be made up. So the service centre gave us a loaner to go get some lunch while we waited for it to be fixed. It took maybe an hour but we didn’t mind as we were going to get lunch after anyway. There was a slight misaligned door trim back left door. But he had the tech take a look while we waited and he was able to correct the alignment.
The drive home was amazing! I had 1 phantom breaking but not too bad. Also there were a couple highways that seem to have the wrong speed limit on the map for a small portion, but other then that everything ran smoothly. She definitely has some pep in her step when I pass people. lol
The service centre had her charged to 97% and I stopped once on the 355 km drive for about 5-8 minutes. It was definitely longer then I needed to as I arrived home with over 30%. I am still getting to trust the calculation in the car.
I have subscribed to Tessie and Teslafi to check out what they offer. I love data and looking forward to what information they can give me over the winter. We can get quite cold (around -45C not factoring in windchill) and I really want to what kind of range I get compared to the weather.
In all a great experience so far!
Hope that covers everything!
