    Talk me off the ledge.... No door handles?

    I'll bet the CT will be great and approximately zero people will be impacted by frozen doors and delayed extraction after an accident. But you'll see, clickbait YouTubers will spray cold water on their door seals (off camera) to freeze them shut in winter and tell us all about how they're...

    How to perform brake fluid health check?

    Anything special with regard to the ABS module regarding the brake bleeding procedure or just open each corner and watch the reservoir level?

    Vent button in app

    There's a button in the App under Controls for "Vent" - it lowers all 4 windows about 1/2" very nice! Last year I remember leaving my (then) new S parked outside work and manually opening some windows before going inside, but a little too much. Someone ran by our conference room asking...

    And I got a stealth P! Forgive me but ten minutes of googling does not reveal what the difference is. Obviously I don’t have the upgraded brakes or pedals, what is the difference in powertrain?

    Refused Delivery MY

    Good news - wife got a call this morning asking if we’d like to pick one up today. Went and inspected it, FLAWLESS! Drove it home and now enjoying it. Charging it up to full to check the range. It’s a great looking car.

    $50,000+ car while economy in freefall

    All models are wrong. Some are useful. Most of what I’m seeing in the media right now is VERY useful, at pumping up their own ratings and clicks. Predicting pandemics, not so much.

    Anyone buying Tesla Model Y in cash?

    Doesn’t matter what your profession is if you spend less than you earn. Buy used and negotiate. Be an informed consumer. Know the markets and buy in buyers’ markets sell in sellers’. You sound like an entrepreneur and will do well. Ask your parents why they think they were successful, random...

    No longer sure i want a tesla at all...

    Serious question, why do folks pay in full before delivery? Is there some advantage or is it required in some situations?

    Regarding the exterior finish, Honda has to compete in a fierce market w with other ICE manufacturers. Tesla has a quasi-monopoly for this segment, and so does not need to cross their Ts and dot their Is and will still sell every car they can make for quite a while. I get all this and it doesn’t...

    Refused Delivery MY

    Yes of course it’s unreasonable to expect hidden areas to be cosmetically perfect. The panel bond adhesive lump would have been right at eye level every time we opened the hatch, and I hand wash our cars so would have noticed the dripping clear coat. It would have been my wife’s first Tesla so...

    That sounds like a Tesla problem, not a Yeahdave problem. Until you sign the paperwork and hand over your money, you have all the power in this situation or am I missing something? When I had minor issues during Model S delivery they became very responsive when I said “I’m not signing until x...

    Yes, that looks nearly identical. Mine was on the top left side of the hatch, and the right side was clean. I agree it could be PBA. When I tried to scratch it with a fingernail I got zero off, does PBA cure rock hard?

    Heated Steering Wheel?

    You heat the steering wheel by preheating the cabin for an hour ;)

    No dual zone HVAC. Heat pump limitation?

    Good god, if you could solve the marital HVAC battles you would be very wealthy my friend!

    I’d say all cars from every manufacturer have defects at some level, it’s a question of what you’re willing to live with. Someone else probably wouldn’t care, but I’m picky.

    I love the company (cybertruck and solar roof on order) so will continue to support them. We can all overlook hidden small stuff but not the bigger stuff we will see every day.

    Hope it’s days or weeks for you, not months. I’m in MD and the order to shut down non essential businesses was the night before delivery. I was pleasantly surprised they kept the delivery appointment, but a salesperson said transport was considered essential.

    Refused Delivery MY

    White Y black interior, upgraded wheels, long range, FSD. The usual tiny blemishes and chips in hood and side mirrors we were willing to overlook, but the top right roof rail had blistering and peeling paint along a back edge, more noticeable when the hatch was open, only about 1/16 x 1/4 inch...

    Put a Deposit on P100D

    This is their achilles heel. If they don't up their game for ~$100K cars, their lunch will be eaten by the Taycan and other entries in the market coming soon.

    Also, good point on the whole panel vs fix a small scratch. One thing - "apparently never been titled" I thought I heard somewhere after 1k miles they can't title it as new. Are you positive it's new inventory? If used might be worth a carfax check. PM me if you want a carfax code, I got a...

    Put a Deposit on P100D

    The reason they gave me for not allowing a check drive was "in case something happened, they had no recourse". Which is a lie, since it's covered under my insurance which they already had. My guess is they know 99.9% will agree and sign without driving since in theory a new car will have...

    They are really wanting to move things by end of quarter. I took delivery of a new inventory 100D with 900 miles on it on 3/16, was originally scheduled for 3/19. Be prepared for a potential phone call moving it to this week! When you pick it up, have them explain the due bill process. My...

    Introducing myself

    Good morning! Ordered a 2018 new inventory 100D a few days ago and now scrambling to get the garage ready. Buying experience was great, with a test drive at the now closed DC center and later the salesperson bringing a car out to Annapolis for us to drive locally. A day after I hit the go...
