    I finally changed my seat cover to the white I wanted!

    I bought the white Napa leather seat covers from Tesmanian and installed them this weekend. They have an area that is cut out where the airbag deploys to ensure there are no issues if you are in an accident and they need to deploy. The fit overall is pretty good, but the middle seat in the back...

    First long range trip (SC to MN)

    Will be driving up to MN next weekend and this will be my first long range trip in my Y that was purchased back in September. I have the LR with inductions. Curious if anyone here had done the stretch of highway from Asheville to London, KY. Our plan is to drive from West suburbs of Charlotte to...

    Model Y tinting question

    So I'm looking to get my Y tinted this week. I am going with XPEL XR plus for the full vehicle. Will be doing 70-80% on the windshield, and then 35% on the front. Where I am struggling is what to do on the 2nd row windows and hatch. I can't find anything online that shows what the visibility...

    Post your Travel trailer that you tow with your Y

    r-pod RP-189 | Forest River RV - Manufacturer of Travel Trailers - Fifth Wheels - Tent Campers - Motorhomes Anyone know if the 354 hitch weight would be a deal breaker on this? Never towed a camper before so not sure if that hitch weight has any wiggle room or 350 is max, no exceptions.

    Regenerative Braking after 40.8 update

    Someone on Reddit let me know that when you charge to over 90% on the battery, the regen braking impact is lessened until you are back below 90%. That seems to be true as I drove it today and was at 99, and once I fell below 90% the regen seemed to be back to what it has been.

    Regenerative Braking after 40.8 update

    I got the 40.8 update yesterday. Prior to the update, my regenerative braking in standard mode was great. I noticed when I drove today, and the regenerative breaking wasn't nearly as strong, to the point I had to double check to make sure it didn't somehow get switched from standard to chill...

    Nobody noticed the range bump?

    Got the 40.8 update this afternoon. Decide to do a 100% charge to see what my max range would show. Looks like 326! Gotta love updates like this!

    Nobody noticed the range bump?

    Just got 40.8 and saw my current battery % jump from 89% to 90%, so now have the extra range boost.

    Nobody noticed the range bump?

    We get the range bump via software update, and there is no interior refresh on the Y in 2021, only the 3. So yeah...

    Tesmanian Model Y Floor Mats

    I ended up going with these mats for my Y. Here are some pics. I let them sit out for 24 hours on flat surface like they recommend. The 2nd row and driver mats were a perfect fit. The passenger mat had some slight gaps along the inside of it but nothing major in my opinion. Very happy with...

    Sorry, that really sucks. Pretty unbelievable that something like this could cripple their entire infrastructure. I'll be looking at my 2nd delay here soon I'm sure thanks to this mess today. There's no doubt at this point this is going to cause massive problems for any remaining September...

    Tesla site down

    I already had my delivery delayed from yesterday to Friday because the truck hadn't delivered it yet. I'm pretty sure they haven't been able to do any deliveries today, so I fully expect another delay. Frustrating.

    Just talked to an advisor at my local delivery center. They just got their phones back up a little while ago. Rest of the systems are slowly coming back online, so hopefully it's resolved soon.

    I called the local Tesla Delivery center about 30 minutes ago and couldn't get through, was getting a fast busy signal. Odd timing.

    How Tesla ships by rail to East coast

    Wish I knew! My MY has been in AL as well since at least the middle of last week. My SA called me Monday and said the car wasn't there and we needed to push delivery to 9/25. Now when I check my Tesla account, my delivery date has switched from the 9/22 date to "Estimated Delivery 3-5 weeks...

    Deciding to Delay Delivery until Battery Day

    You're living in cloud cuckoo land if you think there is going to be a Y produced with 100 miles more range than the current Y anytime soon! Maybe end of 2022 if we're lucky!

    Deciding to Delay Delivery until Battery Day

    Yeah, no surprise there at all, but it's been pretty entertaining watching people delaying their purchase of a Y thinking there was going to be any near-term impact to it at all.

    August/September VIN Notifications and Deliveries

    Well spoke too soon. Just got a call from my SA out of the Charlotte, NC Delivery Center telling me the truck that is bringing my MY there is delayed, and it won't get there until Thursday now. Rescheduled my delivery to Friday 9/25. Hopefully doesn't get pushed again!

    Tesla Advisor: Price increase on Model Y coming

    I imagine if they are planning a price increase back to $53K so soon after a price decrease to 50K, there must be some type of enhancement that would support the price increase. I guess it's possible that the recent price decrease was simply a temporary drop to boost sales during the current...

    The Y rear is ugly

    No idea if I'm in the minority or not, but having owned a model 3, and subsequently selling it earlier this month while awaiting my delivery next week for a Model Y, I actually find the looks/aesthetics of the Y to be superior to the 3. The reason I originally chose the 3 vs the S or X back...

    Charlotte delivery Sat 9/12 left me a happy camper

    Good to hear about the car quality and the service at Charlotte! I currently have a delivery appointment scheduled for 9/22. I'm hoping my MY gets in early and I can pick it up sooner though. When your date got moved up from 9/17 to 9/12, did they contact you to move that up, or were you...

    As long as you have a scheduled delivery time/date listed on your Tesla account Model Y order page, you are fine. Just go in at that time/date and cross your fingers you get one of the good ones!

    August/September VIN Notifications and Deliveries

    Interesting video where he goes through a bunch of new deliveries and looks at the quality. Mostly 39xxx and 40xxx VIN's. Not good news about the white bumper color issue. Apparently all of them had bumper mismatches.

    Ordered Model Y on 4th ... VIN Assigned on 10th

    I loved my 2013 X5, but after I got my Model 3 I couldn't stand driving it. Sold my M3 last week and taking delivery of a MY in a couple weeks, so right now I'm stuck with driving the X5 around. I don't miss it!

    14-50 in the Weather

    My 14-50 outlet was installed outside on the side of my house by the driveway. They included a hard plastic flip cover that protects the outlet from the elements. I would assume as long as they know they are installing it outside, yours will have that as well.

    Another Prospective Model 3 Buyer Converted to Model Y!

    I sold my 2019 LR AWD Model 3 last week after putting in an order for a LR AWD MY in late August. On top of simply liking the look of the MY more than the M3, the higher ride position, extra space, and tow hitch were the 3 main reason I decided to make the switch. Delivery is set for 9/22.

    Anyone with experience trading in their M3 for an MY?

    Jeez, I didn’t even think about removing navigation addresses when I sold my 3. My home address is still in my 3 that I sold to Carvana. Yikes.

    Battery day and model Y

    If you want to wait, wait. If you don’t care what is announced on battery day then go ahead and buy. This is my second Tesla, and I am perfectly happy with the current specs and capabilities of the MY. If something major and immediate gets announced on battery day, that’s great. It won’t change...

    Looks great! What was your VIN # range? I'll be picking up from Charlotte in a couple of weeks. Will be my 2nd time picking up there (first time was last year with an M3 and delivery was great). Also, any word on when that Supercharger in downtown Charleston is supposed to be finished?

    On the Fence... To Buy or Not To Buy

    I'd recommend selling your jeep's to somewhere like Carvana. I sold my Model 3 to them this week while awaiting delivery of my MY. You'll get better $$ than doing a direct trade with Tesla, probably quite significantly better at that. Can't comment on the registration process in RI. I know...

    AWD Y Much Slower Than AWD 3

    I'm in the same boat. As much fun as the 3.5sec would be, I'd rarely ever be flooring my MY other than when I first get it, so the value isn't there for me for an extra 10K for a performance enhancement that I'll rarely use. 4.8 with the instant torque is still plenty fast relative to...
