@yakpsyche "Did you only re-charge to the limits recommended on the Navigation software or did you charge beyond that, for your peace of mind?" For most of the trip we would charge for 5-10 minutes longer than the Nav told us to, but staring down the barrel of a 15.5 hr drive (before traffic)...

Hi folks, Took my new Y for a trip from OH to the panhandle for a few days, then from panhandle to Orlando for a few more days, then straight back up to OH. Charging We had a bit of a rough go with charging to start our trip. Our first SC stop was in Louisville and we took one of the last...

No new headlights. :)

Sure - you'll see a representation of the car (pulling up on the left for instance on the highway) and it'll disappear for 2 or 3 seconds, then reappear. Happened multiple times in different circumstances while driving home.

Hi folks - took delivery today so thought I'd pop in and give you my experience. The car was in great shape - gaps looked great, paint was good. They got a little crazy with the wheel shine and sprayed it on the wheel trim, but besides that I couldn't find anything to gripe about. I walked...

Tesla is going to face serious pressure when other brands figure out the charging networks/ software.

With the lumbar button being removed on the passenger seat, is that function now controlled in the main unit - or is the lumbar no longer adjustable in the passenger seat?

I pick mine up tomorrow (1853xx) - so looks like I'll have it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Tesmanian one says it has '2 self adhesive magnets' now on its V2 - so looks like this is going to be the solution for folks. :) https://www.tesmanian.com/collections/tesla-model-y-accessories/products/tesla-model-y-glass-roof-sunshade BTW, that one you linked to had a 20% off coupon -...

Tesla mostly taketh away.

I did consider those as well, but heard some not so great things about the earlier version - and quite frankly, Tesla is skimping on so many things lately (removing radar, passenger lumbar, and probably more we don't even know about yet) - so was worried their mats were going to be cheap, too. :)

That's good to hear. I like the softer rubber mats that grip, and was worried they'd be too hard and slippery. The 3D Maxpider set was like $500 for the 9pcs - and a lot of comments said they were a bit slick - so sounds like I picked a winner. :) My last thing to grab is a sunshade for...

Those look pretty cool! I had a tough time decided what to buy for mats - watching YouTube videos from the usual Tesla suspects didn't help because you can tell a lot of them were sponsored. I was fluctuating back and forth between the 3D Maxpider and Tesmanian and settled on Tesmanian.

Let me know how your pickup goes - they pushed me out to Tuesday.

Finally got my delivery date (next Tues) after getting my VIN this past Tuesday.

6/3 is rated for 60A residential - I was considering the 4/3 and the electrician said it's not necessary, plus it's a bitch to get into corners, etc... while installing.

Good looking install!

"The bill on its own probably won’t receive a vote in the full Senate, but elements are likely to be incorporated into an economic package that Democrats hope to pass later this year." I gotta think nothing gets passed this year if it's just going to be attached to the larger economic package...

I just spoke to a delivery person and they told me it's automated and I had to wait for the text to schedule. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had 2 of them installed (one for my upcoming Y and one for my wife's future car). 2 ~70ft runs using 6/3 into the garage inner wall. ~1,500$. Split that in half if you're just running one line. Seems to be a reasonable price considering how through the roof copper is right now. Wire...

How does Plaid work? Just put in your routing/account # and it's (almost) instant?

No new headlights on the LR Y - won't be coming for a long time, I imagine.

Makes me want to call my SC and see if they can fit me in for delivery soon, but I'll chill for another day and see if I hear anything. Someone said there were > 100 MY sitting in Cincinnati, so I'm sure they're working to crank them all out.

I do not have FSD - just standard Autopilot.

Just updated my Wiki tracker entry. 61 days from order to VIN.

I feel your number coming very soon! :)

Did they contact you separately to schedule delivery?

Finally got in. VIN 185xxx Est Delivery May 25-28 My order date / config in signature.

I haven't been able to get into my account for the last half hour on two different machines (Mac + PC). Just spins. How is everyone getting in? :p

I just received an email from Tesla to review my approved financing offer, but I can't get the site to load in for me. Perhaps there's a VIN waiting for me, but nothing loads. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On to what we're here for - my SA told me I should be prepared by the end of this week for some movement. Yet another, 'this week' wish. The deliveries are going to be INSANE next month.

that tax credit isn’t happening anytime soon / and by that I mean the chances are practically nil that it happens in 2021.

That's a good point - I thought it was just VINs, but maybe they do that with RN, too - but all the numbers I've seen move sequentially up at later dates. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, he didn't order 3 weeks ago. I ordered 3/25 and my RN is ~6500 higher than his number.

We were buying German VWs for quite a few years and the build quality was phenomenal (I'm not talking about their electrical reliability!). I bought a Toureg years ago (up to now my all time fav car) and when I picked one out I they had ~15 on the lot and every single one was a perfect...

On Saturday the woman from Cincy told me it was business as usual there and nothing out of the ordinary was happening. ;)

This is good news. Hopefully one of these is mine and the VINs start flowing this week.

Yes, do it! :D

My SC called today because I backed out of the test drive form earlier this week. I told them I already have one on order and asked them about delays, firmware updates, etc. She said they 'haven't experienced that there' and my car is definitely on track for 'early June'. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I like their dash screens - I really prefer having a screen behind the wheel as well.

This isn't exactly the experience I was expecting when I put my $100 down and hit submit. :D That said, when all the traditional car makers ramp up their EV production (and have robust charging networks), they are going to eat Tesla's lunch if they remain this 'black box'. Tesla seems to...

No doubt Tesla has a relatively tiny web team trying to keep all this stuff up and running.

Amazon has 3.25 billion visits a month - you never wait.

Their web stack for Tesla.com has always sucked. It always takes forever to load. :D

Had my 14-50s installed yesterday. Electrician did a great job - looks like it was there when the house was built - I just have some joint compound work to do where he cut out an access panel in the drywall to get the line from the basement. I had 2 installed to future proof the house, and...

Just heard from my SA and asked him about the news posting re: delayed deliveries while waiting for a firmware update - he said 'we are not experiencing delays at this time and if we do we will let you know'. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've seen posts of people taking delivery recently (not on this site), so...

I agree w/ this. I'm having an electrician install 2 14-50s w/ 6/3 today (two 60' runs). I was lazy and didn't accept the first estimate for a few weeks ($1200) and the price of copper pushed it up to $1500. I do a lot of my own electrical work - and I'm pretty good at it - but I'm not...

My estimates are creeping outside the original 1-10 weeks when I ordered in March. I'm going on vacation on 6/24 (first vacation in years!) and I'm worried I'll be gone when my time comes (current estimate is June 8 - June 28). :confused:

I'm with you - ordered 3/25 and back to 1 - 10 weeks. I'm hoping that 'homologation' rumor is true and Mon/Tues we start seeing VINs flowing.

This is a company that eliminated their whole PR department. Don't get your hopes up. :p
