Thank you for your responses! As it is we are still looking for land to purchase and because the other half would like a workshop of some sort, the grid probably will end up being a necessity anyway. However knowing we can use solar plus the powerwall with a grid hookup and use that to cut...

Hi folks, new to the energy forums. My SO and I are looking to move into a tiny house in the near future, but we'd like to be able to be self-sustainable if possible, even considering going off-grid. Does anyone have any experience or know anyone who has successfully used Tesla Powerwalls...

I've had my Y for almost a month, and I cannot express how happy I am with it. Few alignment issues, had to have the hatchback glass replaced due to a scratch, and a mobile appt is setup to replace the left mirror cap since the paint has a small indentation in it - but everything else was fixed...

Thanks to both of you!

What color did your wife go with? Looking for a fellow lady's advice.

I didn't even know there was a ring option. I have to look this up (hopefully they have feminine options!).

Just saw this posted: Thoughts?

I have the entire set and they fit perfectly. When we first unpacked them and installed, there were a few areas where it wasn't quite flush with the floor, but a few days later between the heat letting them sit in the proper spots, they flattened out nicely. I'm extremely satisfied with them.

1050F!!!!! No amount of A/C will tackle that, I'm afeared. :p

While I think the blue and reds and whites are absolutely gorgeous, I love my MSM. The color changes depending on the sun angle (bluish-grey to purplish-grey to grey on cloudy days), and the multicolor sparkles when you're up close are quite lovely. I have no regrets. Especially once I pick...

Good to know - hoping to move to Colorado in the future and was curious how the MY would handle the mountain passes.

So nice to see a joyous post about their MY - congrats!!! Glad to see I'm not the only one going through the 'growing pains' of being a Tesla owner! To say I love the car and it's modern techie functionalities is an understatement: I LOVE THIS CAR. It took me about 35-40 min to finally get...

I bit the bullet and paid for full PPF/ceramic w/paint correction. I'm OCD about the condition of my vehicles and since I'm outright purchasing this one AND plan on keeping it for a number of years, it's worth it to me. I also live in the Northeast with its plethora of salt, pebbles...

Congrats! Enjoy the vehicle!!!! PS: if you have FSD, did you try autopark?

I am wondering why they don't wrap the cars before shipment like Audi does, except for environmental impacts of using car wraps. I had a surface scratch on my hatchback glass (which they are fixing along with hatchback alignment) which I feel could have been prevented by this.

I'm guessing he's busy enjoying marriage and his new Y. :)

That is the first place I checked, but I do not see a history section. How long before charges populate? I’m guessing since it’s my first charge it hasn’t shown up yet?

Sorry, first Tesla, many questions and couldn't find the answer despite Google and user manual searches. Where do I see my charges for using Superchargers? We tested one out this weekend and I want to see where the fees are kept track of. Thanks!

Granted I don't know the whole story (e.g. how severely the MY was hit, what speed the truck was going during collision, whether the MY was stopped or moving forward, etc) but for what I see, the MY held up pretty well compared to the other car. Yes it is a total, but the rear was not pushed...

Tesla cannot sell direct in CT, so I had to pick it up in NY and paid the amount due the day before I took delivery. That being said, I did not SIGN the paperwork at the delivery until I saw the car and inspected it for 45 minutes. The associate who helped me was completely cool with that...

The mirrors work fine for me so far. The rearview window is tiny and really distorts how far back someone is (they seem closer than they are), but I can flip on the rear camera for added view if needed - and the camera is fantastic for backing up, guidelines included. Much better than what I...

Yeah, we thought about just getting enough tint to block out heat/UV (70% I believe it's called) w/o darkening, since I'm not a fan of the dark window look, but we're holding off till later once we see how it is w/o it. So far the glass roof has been no issue, even in the minor heat wave we...

Stopped by the Milford CT service center - employees were very nice and enthusiastic. Service appt scheduled to review items noticed delivery (minor items). Took the Tesla out on a small road trip today and it handled quite well. Tried a Supercharger for the first time - loved it!!!

1/2020, changed from black to MSM 5/2020 and received a VIN a few days later.

Darien Detail. Great shop, knowledgeable and polite owner.

Midnight Silver Metallic. Finally saw it in good sunlight today - it’s quite lovely.

Finally took delivery of my Y today at Mt. Kisco! They were quite busy - at least 2 Y's were being picked up at the same time as us. Our associate was very nice and assisted us with the few minor issues we spotted with the vehicle: tiny scratch on the hatchback glass, door panel ever so...

Picked up my Y today (yay!) and stopped by Darien Detail to meet the crew. The owner came out and spent a good 45 min with us going over the car, checking the panel gaps, etc, at no charge. In fact, he pointed out details that we missed when inspecting ours at the Tesla center. He was...

Just picked up my MY today (I am in love) and the Tesmanian mats where on my doorstep when I got home. I'll post pics when I have better lighting, but I can attest they do fit like a glove. I particularly like the fact the rear mats have a good 2" lip around the edge to prevent liquid from...

These are slated for delivery tomorrow. Coincidentally, tomorrow is when I take delivery of MY. I did like the review on Youtube by DAErik, which convinced me to purchase these. All the muddy boots!

Thank you all. I had talked to Tesla via chat and got the reply that it will appear a few days before, but I'm starting to get 'new parent' nervous I guess. =)

I received a VIN and text to schedule delivery around 5/20-5/22, submitted my insurance info with the new VIN, and have been waiting for my account to have the official MVPA (I currently only have the lemon law and order agreement present) and final payment option appear. Anyone know how long...

No worries. My commute is about 30 miles round trip. Chances of a long trip post-outage is pretty low. The superchargers are within a 5-10 mile radius of me (I-95 corridor). Most outages last 1-2 days max, but during Superstorm Sandy we had no power for 5-6 days, tho I-95 had no issues.

I live in an area of the Northeast that can be prone to power outages on occasion due to thunderstorms and hurricanes (pretty area, lots of trees.... lots... of... trees...), and I'm wondering what backup methods people have used/recommend in these situations? I have a couple superchargers near...

I'm a bit OCD about my cars, so I figured the extra protection is worth it in the long run. I've also read that the paint Tesla uses tends to run 'soft,' and since I'm a fan of long road trips I'm all for doing both even if it is a bit pricey. Plus, if I do happen to sell it to trade up to a...

I am picking up my MY Friday and will be stopping by their shop afterwards so the owner can take a look at the car and see how much paint correction might be needed to help determine the level of ceramic coat service I will choose (will be bringing it in for full PPF/ceramic after 1 week of...

Bears....

This gives me hope after reading so many doom-n-gloom posts on here about their Tesla deliveries. This will be my first Tesla and my first EV as well. I look forward to taking delivery on Friday!

How about Sparkee? or Spark33? That is pretty awesome.

What's everyone going to name their Model Y? I for one am debating between Jarvis or... (My Friend) Totoro. :p

Yeah, we are actually waiting a week before bringing it to the shop in case anything crops up with the Tesla that might require extensive service or, god-forbid, a vehicle return (plus it's within the 7-day return window - not that I'm going to be using it lol). This also gives us time to...

I actually just spoke with the owner of Darien Detail yesterday to figure out what to do with my MY I am picking up next Friday. Very knowleadgable, pleasant gentleman with no feeling of pressure at all. I looked through his shop's reviews/IG page and saw some very nice work done (including...

I just ordered the entire set in preparation for my MY delivery next week. I prefer these to the other brands b/c they seem more durable and I like the higher lip surrounding the edges, particularly in the rear seat set. I'm excited for these to arrive (of course in addition to the Y!)...

That is fantastic, congrats fellow CT resident!

I live in a condo and the outlet will be on a shared wall - for liability purposes I think I'll stick with an electrician lol.

Select one of the models from the homepage and at the next webpage you'll see a chatbubble bottom right. It's not very intuitive lol.

That actually doesn't look that bad. I was wondering if something like this was made as I do like the looks of the model S (just not the ride height).

Just got a call initiated by Tesla confirming my delivery next week. It's happening!!!

Finally received a phonecall from Tesla (the first initiated by Tesla and not me, lol) just now confirming my delivery date and asking if I had any questions or concerns. Looks like everything is on point and ready to go for 6/5/2020!

I went to a Tesla-recommended electrician who quoted me $1200 to install a 240V plug. For reference, I live in a condo, the plug would be about 2-4 feet to the left of the circuit breaker panel, which is currently full and will prolly have to go tandem. I'm going to shop around with some...
