One tip: on the OEM shield the metal frame must bow slightly outwards all the way around the perimeter. Unfortunately, we have a spot on one side where the curve is gone and the clips do not reach all the way into the trim there. I think perhaps this happened when the shield was twisted for...

Totally understand the importance of fronts. What purpose do the rears serve?

Do we know where the interior temp sensor is located? Our brand new Y seems to read very high, over 100 F, just a few seconds after leaving the car. We are in the desert. Typically these sensors are located in the plenum below the wipers and pick up engine and hood panel heat, giving...

No, we have Service Centers but we must purchase in CA to get around state law lobbied by NADA. So, paying in advance is a bit scary but it worked out perfectly for us. Fremont shipped it the day after I sent a wire transfer for the full amount. And I suppose we could have refused to accept and...

So, we have a closet full of unused rear floor mats from our various SUV's. Not wishing to add more to the clutter. Is there a vendor out there offering front only for the Y?

Alright! The MYLR has landed. 13 days from VIN to acceptance at our SC. 11 days from leaving Fresno. Fit and finish is very nice. It has been a 7 1/2 month journey. We are happy now. Recommend the wire transfer for accelerating the process.

So, VIN on 6/21 and delivery on 6/23? Of course you are in the backyard. Sounds like the push to max out 1st quarter numbers is real.

How gorgeous! So 17 days from VIN to delivery?

Are you trading in? Curious to know if that might be delaying the EDD because of your crazy pushback. The word is that Tesla is trying to maximize 1st quarter deliveries, so low hanging fruit. But you are right there in their backyard. I would call my SA.

Congratulations! Our exact spec as well. For a while it appeared there was some east coast jail-time. Ours is in transit.

Yesterday, 6/18 the "schedule delivery" text came with 6/26 circled and an explanation that the date may be revised earlier or later depending on arrival at our SC. And when we tried to return a call from our SC we were only able to reach Fresno. Seems to me they try to micromanage the SC's.

Update: Text received this am saying our MYLR has left the plant! Seems unusual we could go from 6/13 VIN to 6/15 wire transfer to 6/16 shipment. Got lucky I guess.

Followup 24 hours later, mostly for Texas buyers: sure enough, the Tesla app progresses to a Final Payment page after insurance info is submitted. Then it gets tricky. They really do everything they can to force one to use their Plaid utility. For the life of me I could not find the wire...
