    Vendor TeslaShields Has the Perfect Fit

    I totally feel your pain…..oh the joys of having young kids in a new Tesla😭.

    . . . but what do you miss from your old car?

    Same here, never really used CarPlay after my initial use. Didn’t really like it and Bluetooth worked perfectly fine

    Tesla at Costco

    The biggest takeaway is how happy we all are NOT having to spend that time driving for cheaper gas or waiting in a line for gas.

    Tesla at Costco

    Lol….my wife has been saying that for a long time. And I finally caved last week and hired someone to mow our lawn, it took them 15 mins for something that takes me an or hour or so. Felt so good to relax and not worry about all the time spent with mowing the lawn.

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    My speculation would be that once Giga Austin is up and running production times will decrease significantly from the current 6-11 month wait. But hey with Elon you never know. If you are trying to time your delivery I would say to add a few months to whatever your anticipated EDD is. Because...

    Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

    Completely agree with all your points, especially with Tesla leading the pack. The only reason the other auto manufacturers are taking EVs seriously is because Tesla took a lot of their customers away. Had it not been for Tesla these companies would have continued with business as usual. That’s...

    Delivery Appointment Made.

    Congrats on your delivery. Just a quick piece of inspection advice, make sure you bring a blanket and look underneath your car. It’s a section I think some people neglect to look at. I found a missing screw on one side and a loose screw on the other side of the undercarriage.

    Tesla just sent me $2k with no reason.

    I don’t think your number would be considered unusually high in the car enthusiast community. One of my close friends who loves cars has easily purchased well over 100 cars in the last decade. So you are not alone.

    How did you convince your significant other to order a Tesla?

    I appreciate the apology, I was a little surprised at the initial heavy reaction to the post as I didn’t think i wrote anything that strong. My point of posting it was that I was quite surprised at how quick she changed her mind after driving the car, and especially since I never said anything...

    How did you convince your significant other to order a Tesla?

    Wow, didn’t think this question would be taken that serious. To clarify your point there is absolutely no brow beating over here or forcing someone to get anything. My wife is her own person and can choose whatever car she wants or keep the ICE vehicle we currently have. Also, as stated in my...

    How did you convince your significant other to order a Tesla?

    Just recently took delivery of MY on 10/16, and I have never been this excited for a car since my 1st car. Initially my wife was against spending so much on a car, but eventually relented because she saw how much I wanted it on top of us desperately needing a new car. The other selling point I...

    new MY long range still on 2021.11.102

    I’ve barely touched the other threads as I’m only a 3 day owner of the MY, so I’ve finally left the Order, Production thread after 6 months. Now it’s time to catch up to everything else Tesla owner related now.

    new MY long range still on 2021.11.102

    Had the service tech look into the software and he did an update just to find out that this is the latest software released to my MY. Apparently, Tesla releases the software updates in batches to the cars and not all at once according to the Tech. So I just have to wait until they release the...

    new MY long range still on 2021.11.102

    Just took delivery on 10/16 and I’m on version 11.104. No Disney+ or car wash mode. I have a service appointment tomorrow for something else, but will mention the software and will hope they can update it

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    I can now report that this thread can officially close!!! I picked up my beauty today. There were a few issues with the finish but nothing big enough to reject delivery. Had a chip on the paint of the front passenger side by the window, and some panel gaps I want readjusted, and noticed...

    Horrible experience ordering a Model Y

    I think in a few years Tesla will get better with production and customer service. While talking with a friend last night about QC issues with Teslas, I had to remind myself that they are only 10yrs old in manufacturing vs everyone else who is 70+yrs manufacturing cars. So I think in the next...

    Horrible experience ordering a Model Y

    Agreed, while the customer service at Tesla is lacking severely because of the lack of human contact, I am also a big fan of buying directly from the manufacturer. Similar to you I despise the insane markups from dealerships especially for the “add-ons” they say the add to the car to justify a...

    Video of Delivery at Buena Park??

    That’s good to know that the actual delivery was seamless. I’ve just had some bad luck so far. I had a VIN and scheduled delivery in 9/30 and the day of my VIN was removed w/out explanation. Someone from the central number stated that there was probably a malfunction with the car because the VIN...

    Video of Delivery at Buena Park??

    I would like to know what your experience was like? Did you have a trade-in? I will say they are making me regret choosing that location I wish I would have gone with Costa Mesa. It is literally impossible to get someone on the phone, I have called several other locations and usually get someone...

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    Just got a call today that they may need to reschedule delivery because service punctured one of the tires....lol. At this point all I can do is laugh everytime it gets close something just happens. Hopefully before the end of the weekend this thread can close out.

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    From your lips to God's ears, I am T-minus 28hrs and counting. 🤞🏾 I am just itching to give my trade-in car to Tesla, that is a story for another time or thread. So far everything seems on time and payment will be finalized today.

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    Agreed that is the only thing I was hesitant about is splitting up my check to 2 different banks. But I figured I will just allot only my monthly payment to the DCU account. I scheduled my auto payment on 11/15, not wasting any time on this 65month count. I hate having a car note, sooner it can...

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    Based on others experiences Tesla would rate at 60 or 72 months, most people requested the 72 month rate match

    Just apply online, and you can use a referral or give a donation $10 to join. I said I had a referral based on people from other threads in the application process but they never really confirmed my referral contact. It was actually quite easy to sign up. The hard part is the long wait time to...

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    That would make sense, but it was a hassle getting everything through with DCU, spent the whole day on the phone with DCU yesterday to finalize everything. Those long wait times are brutal! I was slightly considering paying a little more interest for a big bank but then looked at the total cost...

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    Got my 2nd VIN Sunday morning 286XXX, scheduled for delivery on 10/14. Lets hope this one sticks and there are no major issues. However, I'm disappointed they discontinued the rate match program right after EoQ.

    For those who received the "SEPTEMBER" text, did you get a VIN/take delivery this month?

    I have no clue. Completed my profile 2 days after OD and never modified anything to my order. Just kept waiting, waiting, calling and pestering them, then waiting, calling again, waiting calling again, then back to waiting.

    How long did it take to get your plates for my Southern California Owners

    What was your delivery experience at Buena Park? They are my scheduled delivery center but like you said no one ever picks up the phone, I was considering switching pick up to Costa MesA

    Not much EDD got pushed back to 10/6‐10/19. Tesla rep told me that I will be getting a new VIN soon, but who knows what that means in Tesla world.

    For those who received the "SEPTEMBER" text, did you get a VIN/take delivery this month?

    Looks like we had the same experience, also went from a VIN to delivery of 9/30 to VIN disappearing and EDD 10/3‐10/19

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    Lol......that person is right here. EDD now shifted to Oct. 3-19. Tesla giveth and taketh away, Don't know what happened from having a VIN to losing it the night before delivery and can't get a straight answer. But since everyone else especially in SoCal got theirs I have a glimmer of hope that...

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    Welp......there goes that excitement for me. They unassigned my VIN due to a "service hold". Got a voicemail last night that the service department at delivery center wouldn't be ready to deliver the car by today so it will be a few days for inspection. And this morning my VIN just disappeared...

    California trade in with Tesla

    For anyone in California particularly SoCal who traded in their car to Tesla. Did Tesla require you to have an active registration and smog when you traded in your car? My car is currently PNO, and don't want to go through the whole process of re-registering and smog check. Tesla told me today I...

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    That's interesting I'm in the Inland Empire, and Geico my current provider had the best rate ny a few hundred dollars. Thats with a 20+ year clean driving record. All the other places you listed were at least 400 more than Geico for me.

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    I got the same EDD and in SoCal also. Last night they said it should be built in the next few days. I'm hoping they don't push me another 2-3 weeks out.

    Finally got a VIN today so freaking excited 276XXX!!!!!!!!! I decided to check my account few minutes ago clearly expecting to be disappointed and going into month 6 of waiting.

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    Tell me about it! In this case I have no choice especially since I'm not dishing out more money to get faster delivery with a MYP or inventory car. I am just hoping that there is some benefit waiting for me on the other side of delivery that I can't see now. I.e. just saw that Cali has funds...

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    Completed profile a day later, no changes made to the order. Although I recently thought about changing the interior to white and exterior paint color, then I saw the quoted difference and new EDD, and said awwwww heck to the No, cancel cancel cancel!! Everytime I see a MY on the road I get...

    Model Y West Coast waiting room (May 2021 orders)

    Well if it's a MYP those new orders don't have to wait that long according to the trends on this forum, on the other hand us "common folk" with the MYLR are in the back of the line despite long standing orders
