They were also quick to market, which helps a lot too. I guess I just like soft feel stuff.

How do you know if your ceramic coating is done/due for replacement? I got one professionally done that should last a few years, but when it's done I will likely be more interested in DIY....

I have an iPhone - I did just update the app so maybe that will help. The other things, to the extent they are applicable to iPhone, yes. Maybe I've just gotten too fat and the phone signal can't penetrate my glutes.

As a guy who uses post-it notes and a paper calendar, I don't disagree with your underlying thesis...but in this case, the fob versus no fob is literally the difference between me carrying any keys versus no keys. One of my favorite things about my Tesla is no longer needing to carry keys.

For the first month I owned the Y, I didn't have a single issue getting into the car...I wasn't even sure what would happen if it didn't recognize the phone. Now I would say it's 50/50...i'll pull the handle and sentry mode will remind me it's recording. Is there anything I can do to make...

not sure why everyone seems to love the Tesmanian mats so much, particularly given that they are not fitting properly with the bulge. I can't stand the slick, hard plastic type feel. I got the Basenor set from Amazon. Are they perfect? No. But the rubber feel is much nicer I.M.O. and the fit...

Yes still available! (Sent you a PM conversation)

I found these to be roughly similar to the 19 stock Geminis - did those have Good Year Eagles on them? I honestly don't remember...but I havent noticed an appreciable difference in performance, noise, or range

Correct - 20" TSS - and thanks!

$2350 shipped in the lower 48. $2200 if you can locally pickup in the Raleigh, NC area Under 100 miles on them No rash, no damage, mint. Valve stems and TPMS are removed Not sure if this is okay or if there is a classified section - I didn't see one so apologies if out of bounds.

Just get the regular, sell the geminis, and use the 2000 or whatever to get from someone selling inductions. Bet you end up 1000-1500 ahead doing it this way

Replaced the Geminis with some new shoes with OEM Model 3 aero center caps and lug covers. Pretty happy with the look. TSS 20" in Space Gray from T Sportline and Michelin A/S 3+. Oddly, one thing I like is that the Michelin sidewall design is easier to apply tire dressing to - fewer of those...

Sorry, what I meant was by default so I don't have to do this every time.

Does anyone know how I can disable the new "auto disable for passenger AC"? I prefer having it on.

Thanks for your contribution to the thread, please carry on wasting your time elsewhere.

Just to circle back as the thread starter, my VIN disappeared, reappeared a few days later, and that's the car that was ultimately delivered to me (and on the original schedule too)

People say this orange peel thing and I dont know what it means - I know what an orange peel is, I know that some homes have walls where the interior paint looks very m uch like an orange peel, but when I look at the hood of my car or any other Tesla Y i have seen, it just looks like smooth...

I fly 100k miles per year for work...to Asia, to Europe...I know all about DVT and appreciate a good pit stop just as much as anyone else. Again, the issue here seems to be confusing convenience/compromise with preferability. I'm not at all saying for many people it's not better to stop every...

To unhijack my own thread... :D I took the car to a detailer who referred me to the best paint guy he knows. The paint guy said he's almost certain it's clear coat buildup/dripping and he thinks 99% chance he could sand it down and it would look perfect. Tesla won't approve him to do the...

I'd feel luckier if I knew my chances were good of rejecting it if it comes back below my standards. If they say "Sorry, you took the risk and this is our best work" i'd be pissed. I took it to a car detailing guy and he referred me to a paint specialist for an opinion. The detailing guy said...

Thanks for the response - good to hear that they did a great job for you. I'd be less nervous if it was the lift gate or something but the hood, man that's the most prominent part.

Based on my schedule, you only have 10 more months to go o_O I'm sure it will be soon, they seem to be rolling out en masse now.

So you're telling me that if you were driving an ICE and a Tesla, you'd take the same number of breaks for the same amount of time driving the ICE as you would to charge the Tesla? I like a good break as much as anyone else, but it's just simply not going to happen the same way. And assuming...

I've put my money where my mouth is by buying a Tesla, but people saying things like "no compromises" and charging is "not an inconvenience" are off the reservation and objectively wrong. It IS a compromise. It is NOT more convenient to stop every 3 hours for 30-40 minutes than it is to stop...

My hood has a defect in the edge, not noticeable unless you are looking right at it - cant feel it with the hood closed. Tesla has offered to sand/correct it and repaint the entire hood (they did not feel a spot sand would look good). I can probably live with it as-is though I'd prefer it...

Yeah I mean, if I was OCD I would have rejected for this. I'm not, and after having slept on it I am even more leaning toward just leaving it. Ironically one of the things I think is a design flaw about the 3 and Y, the difficulty of closing the frunk (or the lack of automatic lift/close)...

Coulda been worse, coulda had your 2500 in their possession like me since Day 1 of orders (March 15, 2019). Peninsula CA ----PV? or NorCal?

It's a great life philosophy. Overall based on what I was looking for on delivery, I would call my car imperfect but better than feared. The rear seats alignment was pretty good, the paint didn't have thin spots or mismatch, the white seats are perfect, the major visible panel gaps are pretty...

Which photo are you looking at for the paint defect? I am not getting PPF - not overly OCD about my cars, and have honestly been going back and forth on ceramic coating even if that tells you how much I do or don't care...I love when my cars look good, but I am not willing to put in the time or...

With some of the white issues and the fact that they probably have been making changes to the paint line, it honestly concerns me a bit to think that i'd put a new hood on this car. It could be perfect, yes, but it also could be a better edge but worse fitment or color than what I have. Having...

All of those points are why I am probably leaning toward just leaving it - the surface and match is otherwise perfect...so if I am at an A minus, I wouldn't forgive myself for dropping to a B in pursuit of an A plus.

What they told me is that they would ship a blank and it would be painted on-site at the local collision center anyway, so new hood, old hood, I dont think it really matters. I did ask if they could send me a factory-new blue hood but was told this is how it would work.

Delivery went well for my AWD Blue/White. Quick first service appointment to take care of some basic issues - equal parts user-friendly and slightly frustrating, but no biggie. The one questionable area is on the edge of the hood, midway between the T logo and the headlight...on the edge...

I was just at the Raleigh center and there are at least 40 Model Ys there awaiting new owners - it's nuts.

They are reassigning the VIN on a 3 day delay? Woof.

Interesting, mine went from a Sunday delivery to a surprise early Thursday delivery!

How does your family feel about 3-4 hours of charge stops? I would think that is concerns number 1, 2, 3, and 4, with ride comfort being number 5.

Thanks - I know about all the general paint issues, I see the blue here with the thin spots and white showing through...is that a common blue issue or just this one? That one definitely seems poor. Just wondering what kinds of repeated issues there are with blue.

Can someone liken the material/feel to anything commonly known? I know it's probably a difficult ask.

Tesla chat gave me the info - once I had a VIN assigned, they could tell me where the car was in the transit process. Though it's now spent enough time in Alabama that it might show up with an accent.

Can someone explain to me what the known blue paint defect is? I pick up my blue/white this weekend. Thanks!

I tracked my delivery to North Carolina yesterday and they said it's IN Alabama in transit. Does that count?

I dont know much about wheels, but isnt the likelihood that you would use these for another vehicle low due to compatibility issues? Or are you assuming you'll have another Tesla and your tastes wont change?

Your sales advisor should have it. I tried Tesla chat and they were clueless and told me "you will be matched with a VIN soon" - sales advisor was very helpful and said he still had mine.

Hold on now...I was a first day order - 3-15-19....picking up the same day as you (saw you on the disappearing VIN thread too...same boat) but I will believe it when I see it. Still, I laugh in the face of anyone whining about their waiting time when we have day one orders still undelivered 16...

From the photos and comments, these things look a bit cheap/plasticky....I prefer more rubbery (though I don't need them to look all fancy like the Maxpider ones) How quality does the material feel - I am confident the fit will be fine, but rigid plastic is not my cup of tea.

My VIN reappeared yesterday. It never left from the Tesla-side app (my SA sent me a screen shot) but it departed then returned to my Manage page...same VIN. Weird.

No waiting room because nobody cares about someone who ordered 5 days ago :) Kidding of course, congrats on the new purchase. (But the waiting rooms were made for people who were holding reservations for months without word while other configurations were getting handed out)

Yeah I know VINs can get reassigned sometimes, but it seems like something else is going on here. I don't have a MVPA yet (delivery is in 8 days) but had a VIN and still have the appointment showing
