i bought a long version last week and it was delivered yesterday. i have read on here that they go in and out of stock regularly and quickly so i must have lucked out. but certainly all the emails that went out caused a rush. i didn't get my email yet, so i'm going to be ready to charge without a car. but that's fine.

Annoyingly, they don't let you order the 18' wall charger and get a place in line. They are supposed to send me an email when they come in. I guess I'll carry my phone with me everywhere!

if i thought it was gonna be a while before i got my vehicle, i wouldn't mind. but i will also resist coming back with a joke about having to take it from my cold dead handsYou wanna sell me yours?

yeah that seems sort of silly. i ordered just before everybody started getting their emails and such. and even then, i had been checking daily for a week. but now it's almost a panic, and there is some speculation that some folks are getting deliveries sooner than expected because folks are not prepared 10 months early and are passing on their reservation. don't know how much of that is true. i'm lucky, i have a mercedes leased until june but at current interest rates, it won't make much difference if i pay for the Y in a couple of weeks or a few monthsAnnoyingly, they don't let you order the 18' wall charger and get a place in line.

i would have done fine with that, i put about 100 miles on in an average week. but we also had a 50 amp circuit on the side of our garage not being used since we got rid of our hot tub, so figured why not.If I have to, until I get the 18' charger, I'll unplug the dryer! I just got the adapter for my 34 y.o. 240V socket.
You'd think someone in their supply chain would be proactive in having a good pipeline of the wall charger in anticipation of the Y release. Or, the sales and manufacturing team didn't work closely with the procurement team. Or there's a supply chain issue in getting enough of the chargers. Either way, terrible planning on their part for a new product launch.yeah that seems sort of silly. i ordered just before everybody started getting their emails and such. and even then, i had been checking daily for a week. but now it's almost a panic, and there is some speculation that some folks are getting deliveries sooner than expected because folks are not prepared 10 months early and are passing on their reservation. don't know how much of that is true. i'm lucky, i have a mercedes leased until june but at current interest rates, it won't make much difference if i pay for the Y in a couple of weeks or a few months

This was definitely a rush job! On your account page, if you click on owner's manual, it sends you back where you were. In the Store, there are 0 items for the Y. This surprises me only because I believe there is a high markup on accessories.

I gave up on the Tesla one as it always says out of stock so I bought the new Chargepoint Home Flex. Love it!

Will you be installing the charger yourself? If not, did you get a quote for installation? I had it installed for 2500 bucks.... I think I got jibbed...... But, everything is expensive out in the Hamptons.

it's hard to compare because each one can be different, but yeah, it's all expensive out there. in our case, it's going on the garage wall. about 6 feet away on the other (outer) side of that wall is a 50 amp circuit that's totally unused since we got rid of our hot tub. so to turn the wire around to inside, run about 6-8 feet of wire, and install the unit was $460.

actually now that i've seen where the charge port is located, i might have to do the same. relatively speaking it's at the opposite corner of the vehicle when i pull in front of our garage.

$2,500? If they had to trench a considerable distance that may be reasonable, but for a surface mount/run job that's $$$.
But like you said.. it's the Hamptons... home of the $3 doughnut.

I think they had to put in a new panel in the basement and the garage is a bit of a distance from the house. Oh yeah, $3 dollar doughnuts are considered low end in Sag Harbor.. Everything is double in price and yet quality is inferior.

I got mine a month ago and installed with Tesla energy. It cost $1000 for my install. They had to run 25 feet of wiring through a basement wall and crawl into a tiny crawl space as well.I think they had to put in a new panel in the basement and the garage is a bit of a distance from the house.
