    Tesla MY haters on the highways

    You don't want to move to IL then for sure 🤣

    Why won’t my Y follow closer than 3 car lengths?

    Check out greentheonly's latest 2 videos - he shows when AP is leaving a wide gap and other cars seeing that as an opportunity to merge in.

    National Chains that Repair Tesla Tires

    Another +1 for discount tire, they said it should be no problem with Tesla's.

    Day 365! Who is still in love with their Y? Who's fallen out of love? Why?

    Great to hear! Any long road trips with it or mainly local?

    Lease numbers don't make sense?

    It wasn't required for me, just the standard 1st month, license fees, etc.

    Imagine all of you that keep pushing your model y reservation for the ev credit

    Yes - saw this when I was model 3 shopping.

    Imagine all of you that keep pushing your model y reservation for the ev credit

    I'm guessing that's a typo and OP meant 2-3K, otherwise you'd be a fool not to sell it immediately.

    Car and Driver

    Spot on! The more competition the better and Tesla will step up it's game, in the product as well as customer service.

    Sorry to hear, but at least you'll have piece of mind now. What will you be considering next?

    Dr. Color Chip is awesome, used on plenty of other cars, I'm sure I'll need it for this one - haha

    Model Y Build Quality Improving?

    I was in a hurry when I picked mine up, but then at home went through the checklist - pretty much everything was spot on with the exception of a plastic nut cover fastener near the front wheel. I asked the service center to just mail me a replacement but tesla mobile dropped it off so I was very...

    Biodefense mode

    This is pretty cool, hopefully they add the air suspension next :D

    Lease numbers don't make sense?

    Not a great MF but residual is decent to help make up for it.

    Model Y Buy or Lease?

    The dealer likely made the same amount part of the capital cost reduction in order to sell it quicker, just like any other seller wanting to move inventory. It has nothing do with being legal/illegal.

    Leasing a Y

    It's really up to each buyer, I wouldn't put anything down. For your last point, you can always extend the lease.
  18. C

    Leasing a Y

    Yes, all good points - agree on the wait and see aspect and for first time EV owners as well.

    Leasing a Y

    It's attractive for business owners, especially if you're not taking the big SUV deduction with another ride, not so much for W2 folks.

    Lease numbers don't make sense?

    Money factor is offset by the residual, you may have better luck going in person to a store where they can review everything with you.
  21. C

    Lease numbers don't make sense?

    I don't find that to be the case at all. Tesla lease agreement (at least for me) was mostly 1st month, license fees, etc. Nothing else required (i.e. additional cap cost reduction). I thought they were very transparent. FWIW, I expense the cost through my company, but that should not have a...

    Lease numbers don't make sense?

    Down payment should be minimal as possible, not $5K! Ask them to give you a full breakdown of that $5K. Tesla is actually pretty transparent compared to other brands for leasing (i.e. no markup of the money factor and other games). That City of Chicago extra lease tax really blows and if you can...

    CA Lease or buy? deciding today

    Either way, it's a good choice! If you have a business to write off the lease, that works if you are not going overboard with the miles. A lot of people love to drive this thing.

    Current Delivery Times

    Yeah, you definitely won't be getting concierge level service here. Best bet is to go to the SC. It's hit or miss if they will ever return your call if you leave them a message. Another option is on the Chat function when looking for existing inventory, tell them you need someone to call you...

    No more radar in Model Y/3

    How has it been at night with the need for Auto High beams? Any issues with them staying on too long and annoying other drivers?

    Current Delivery Times

    The XC90 is an all around awesome ride, probably not an apples to apples comparison, for sure.

    Current Delivery Times

    If they are delivering to your house, make sure you confirm with them being able to look it over, inside and out before you accept delivery and how much time they will give you.

    Demo Debacle

    How many miles and what type of discount did they offer?

    Changing from finance to lease?

    Yes, as long as it's before delivery very easy to do, just contact your SA. You'll then be able to change the payment options on the screen or they can do it for you.

    Radar deleted on all new Model Y and Model 3. Is FSD worth it?

    For sure. Having CR in the mix now will help push the company to keep moving on this, similar to the brake issue with the 3. Tweeting Elon with a concern is hit or miss for resolution.

    Passenger lumbar support missing from new MY

    This will suck for the folks who want to want to hop out of the driver seat and hang out in the passenger side 🤣
  32. C

    Radar deleted on all new Model Y and Model 3. Is FSD worth it?

    The SA won't care because he knows someone else will take it next in line. A lot of people aren't on the forums (here or reddit) or it's not a big deal to them. I understand from that point and we tend to work our selves up a bit.

    Tesla will use camera to monitor driver behavior

    Hopefully it takes care of idiots like this and stops AP from functioning: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-05-13/tesla-driver-arrested-after-riding-in-backseat

    Radar deleted on all new Model Y and Model 3. Is FSD worth it?

    This was rushed, no doubt, to make the Q2 numbers, otherwise they would have had the cars sitting around like other manufacturers waiting for parts. Also, if it was so awesome, radar would not be needed on the other models (S/X) or in other countries that are getting the 3/Y. The challenge is...

    Tesla will use camera to monitor driver behavior

    they had to have something like this in the works, too much grief coming at them, especially when you have idiots like that guy in California who was in the backseat of his car

    Tesla loses U.S. designation for some advanced safety features

    Yes, and it's not like they added new cameras, otherwise they would have brought that up.

    Good question, maybe hold off until the dust settles?

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Does the pain subside at all if you drive with a front window down and a rear window down (i.e. passenger front down and driver rear down)? If so, I was told there is a seal issue with air pressure and it has to do with some type of vent that needs to be adjusted or it was not installed...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    For us it seems to cause pain/pressure while we are driving. A slow build up and then feel it after we get out of the car, which led me to believe it's a seal/fit issue either windshield/roof or the hatch, but will try this today as well. I have an appointment at the service center to drive the...

    Don't need PPF? Think again.

    This is really helpful, especially for the folks in winter climates. I once made the mistake of following a salt truck in a snow storm and it chipped away in several places on the hood of another car (toyota), and not sure how well the Y would have fared, but this rocker panel issue is concerning.

    Upgrade to Enhanced AutoPilot before Sept 30

    Much easier for this decision once FSD subscription comes out, but then wondering if EAP goes away entirely?
  45. C

    Model Y or Used X?

    I know the feeling, as it's hard to not to compare any vehicle to them, so much space and versatile. I don't care for the sliding doors as much as we've had issues with the cables breaking.

    Model Y or Used X?

    echoing others here, X for the room and Y for the new tech, but didn't see this mentioned here: X if you own a business as that tax write-off is sweet

    Delivery Now 7-11 Weeks

    Maybe they want to push the Performance models instead of LR, to entice anyone who doesn't want to wait that long.

    Another Model Y rejected today

    You should ask for a different sales advisor, as that one did not have a clue and had you waste a trip.
