    Does the Model Y come with both driver and passenger floor mats?

    Does the Model Y come with both driver and passenger floor mats, or just driver floor mat?

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    I received the message from Tesla to design my Cybertruck for Feb - April delivery, but I don't have room for it now that I moved into a condo and only have 2 spaces, which I use for my Model S and Model Y. I don't know if I can assign it to anyone, and it is only for the Foundation Series.

    Collision

    We got the car back during the first week of November, 10 days short of a year.

    Model Y will be in shop at Tesla recommended facility 10 months on 9/14/2023

    The shop is owned by an automotive group that sells new Aston Martin, Bentley, Cadillac, Audi, Jaguar, Land Rover, McLaren, and Rolls-Royce. It was highly recommended by Tesla, but their back lot has many high-end cars waiting for repair. In mid-April I stopped by - my Tesla was in a frame...

    Was it an OEM fiberglass that matched the body?

    Model Y will be in shop at Tesla recommended facility 10 months on 9/14/2023

    My 2020 Model Y had front end damage on November 13, 2022. I had it towed to the recommended repair facility in Oldsmar, Florida. The parts were received months ago, but labor shortage has delayed repair, which will be ten months on September 14. My insurance company paid for the Tesla Model...

    2016+ Front license Plate holder

    I have the red front license plate holder that came with my 2016 Model S that I will never use in Florida. It's free if anyone wants it and can figure out how to get it.

    Is this a record for the longest repair job

    My Y has been in the shop since November 14, 2022, and I was told yesterday that in August 2023 the shop will start to make it driveable. The shop pays for the Hertz Tesla 3 rental.

    Collision Repair--Is this a record?

    My Y went to Dimmitt Collision on November 14, 2022. It was supposed to be repaired by April 1. This week repair finish was scheduled for late July. They have had the parts for months, but lack of technicians who can work on Tesla. They do all exotic cars.

    Collision

    The collision shop took over payment of the rental as of April 1. They hope to have the repairs finished in June.

    Is this a record for the longest repair job

    I am going on 6 months. The problem has been 1 getting parts and 2 line of Teslas ahead of mine for repair. It should have been totaled, except that my insurance company had an agreed value of my 2020 Model Y at $72,000. The first cost of repair estimate was about $27,000 and I have $15,000...

    Collision

    I am now told that my car should be repaired by the end of May. The shop took the car November 14. My insurance had been paying for a Hertz Model 3 since then, but the shop was supposed to take over payments on April 1, but because of some screwup my Amex card is being charged $95/day.

    Collision

    The car went to Dimmitt on November 14. I was recently told that it will be painted on March 13, and I should have it back mid-April. I believe the cost is increasing. I still have my Hertz Model 3, but I believe that my rental insurance will end some time in late March. My insurance company...

    Collision

    The other driver was ticketed for failure to yield ROW. The preliminary estimate for repairs is $26, 628.95 including tax.

    Collision

    My insurance policy covers $15,000 in rental expenses and is paying $85/day for the Tesla with direct billing. Hertz in Clearwater had several Model 3s, all reserved, but they got an almost new red one for me from St. Petersburg. It is interesting that the glovebox and hood are locked.

    Collision

    Sunday evening, about 6:50 pm I was stopped in traffic in my 2020 Model Y when a 2001 Dodge Ram with oversized tires and suspension suddenly appeared. I was able to drive it home, about 6 miles, with a state police escort, and today it went to Dimmitt Collision for repairs. I was told that it...

    Trouble getting refund from Tesla

    On November 23, 2019, the first day that the Cybertruck orders went on line, I ordered a Cybertruck. Later in the day I realized that I had ordered the basic one, which would likely not be among those first produced, so I ordered a second one with the Tri meter AWD, and got Order Numbers for...

    M3 & S Recall

    It is scary when the hood flies up. When I was driving my father's 3 day old 1954 Cadillac, the hood flew up against the windshield. The Cadillac dealer said that the first 2,500 of the Model 62 had defective hood latches, and the company had reported 7 fatal accidents due to the latch.

    New iPhone 13 Pro Max in a case does not work with the 2021 Model 3 wireless charging pad

    Last week my wife got her iPhone 13 Pro Max and an Apple silicone case for it. It will not charge with the case, although it charges fine with the case off. I wonder whether there is anything that will beef up the Model Y built-in charger.

    Model S range and interior update imminent?

    I have a 2016 Model S that I love. I also have a Model Y and really dislike the touchscreen. I, also, would not purchase another S if it had the 3/Y screen. Compared to the Model S, the Y is a Yugo.

    Summon and Homelink don't work well together

    I have identical garage door openers. I have a 2016 Model S and when it is in the garage and I summon it, the homelink opens the garage door and the Model S backs out, and then the garage door closes. During September I took delivery of a Model Y and had the Homelink installed a couple of...

    3 Reasons Not to get the White Interior

    Congratulations! Did you take the dashboard apart to paint it, or just mask the rest of the dash? Also, how will you paint the console to match?

    AutoPilot Almost Killed Me!

    I agree. I am very afraid of being rear-ended because the Y slows down suddenly. Today I was driving 55 mph in fairly heavy traffic and the cameras spotted a stop sign at the end of an off-ramp and immediately started stopping. Fortunately, I stepped on the accelerator quickly and got away...

    3 Reasons Not to get the White Interior

    Go to Amazon and put in LMZX or Top fit and look for the black matte piano finish for Model 3/Y. Don't go for a similar product that has a "carbon fiber" appearance, because the look and feel doesn't compare - I tried both.

    3 Reasons Not to get the White Interior

    PROBLEM SOLVED; Instead of the hard shell faux carbon fiber dash cover, I ordered a set of Topfit brand dash cover and console cover in matte piano black. They installed in about 15 minutes total. The combined cost was $99.00 with Prime free shipping. It gives the white interior a whole new...

    Decided on a Y

    If you are go ing to order one, do it quickly so that you would get it possibly mid November. Getting it at the end of the quarter is terrible, because they rush out the manufacture and delivery to meet sales quota.

    3 Reasons Not to get the White Interior

    I have since ordered and received the hard shell faux carbon fiber dash cover from Amazon for $59, and while it still looks a bit more like plastic than real carbon fiber, the glare is substantially reduced. I just ordered the matching console cover. All in all, the plastic makes the interior...

    Tampa Service Center Appointment Arbitrarily Changed

    When I picked up my Model Y at the Tampa Service Center on September 6, 2020, there were a few minor matters that needed correction, mostly gaps. I was given the time of Tuesday, September 29, and told it would take several days. Today I received an email changing the date to October 6, with...

    Model Y interior choices

    I have a red Model S with the Cream and Oak interior and also love it. I have the white on my red Model Y and hate it because of the reflection, and also, it looks cheap compared to the Cream of the Model S.

    3 Reasons Not to get the White Interior

    Last week I took delivery of my red Model Y with the white interior. It was a big mistake, because the white interior has a white panel on the dash just below the AC vent. I believe the black interior has a woodgrain panel. After some rainy weather, our Tampabay skies cleared, and I...

    I just got a gap checker

    I noticed that Sandy Monro uses a gap checker when checking the gaps on cars. I ordered one yesterday from Amazon for about $8 prime and got it today. It really is useful, particularly to check whether, for example, both sides of the front to fender are the same (mine aren't)

    Help understanding referral award

    After a March 2018 referral I ordered a charger and received promise after promise of delivery.

    My first scratch

    I bought the red touch up from Tesla. I had some scratches on the back bumper. The local authorized Tesla body shop applied about 3 coats, and my wife applied another 3 coats, but it didn't help much.

    Wind noise in full glass roof new Model S

    I had noticed a wind noise on my Model S delivered in October 2016, although my wife could not hear it when she drove. I took it to the SC and they replaced the driver's side window, which fixed the problem.

    Registration Charge Rebate

    When I took delivery of my MS on October 6, 2016 in Tampa, there was a $500 registration charge. I inquired about the charge and was told by email from Cameron Watson, a delivery specialist, that they are not quite sure what the charge will be, so they overstate the amount and then refund the...
