Great idea!

Great points all around! Yeah, it feels weird unplugging people. I totally forgot that most public EV chargers have lights that tell you whether it is charging or not. Great point. Alot of frustrating events can be handled by following your tips as well as having the sticker like the second...

First a question, I use level two J1772 a lot at hotels, malls, parking structures, etc and even at airports. They are great for charging up over 5-6 hours. You can usually fill your battery in just a few hours. Here is the question: If a vehicle (let's say another Tesla) has been present for a...

I probably have accumulated 1000 sentry mode "events" and would like to clear them in bulk rather than spend 5 hrs deleting each one. Any way to "bulk" delete them to free up storage WITHOUT taking the drive out and to a home computer? Thanks.

What is the appropriate etiquette for talking to vehicles ICEing at Tesla chargers? Key their car? Spit on them? Slash their tires?

An educated population is scarce in the USA.

My cars paint was fairly perfect. No swirls or scratches at all. But I think they put a coating on the paint since the paint is fairly hydrophobic when I got the car last week. Here is what is important before DIY ceramic coating (and this came from a message to me from Pan just the other day)...

Pan is the MAN! Ive learned everything I know about detailing from that guy!

MS-DOS FAT

I have found the service center folks at both Superior and Littleton to be exceptional. They are helpful (even though they have been crazy busy) and I never felt like I was inconveniencing them when I would jump in to ask a "quick question" about something. Great experience over all with the people.

agreed.

It does? Mine didnt. Or at least I have found it yet.

Why is it closed? It's so new, I cant imagine that it is broken already. And if it is broken, its been broken for a few weeks.

Do we know why they are still "Temporarily Closed"? It would be nice if they could put a descriptor as to why they are closed (ie: construction on the gas station, utility work in the area, etc) as well as "estimated time that it will reopen"

I did both. I FINALLY got the T5 to work just a few minutes ago! I had to format it on my Mac (was easier to do than on a PC because of the large storage size). Seems to be working in the car now! Thanks for all the suggestions everyone.

When I got home I took a really close look at everything and was barely able to find more than 1 or 2 tiny things to moan about. Things I wouldnt have even looked for in any previous car purchase. Overall, the car is great. I do have a service appointment for one small trim piece (again...

That guy is basically what I imagine Conan O'Brien will look like when he lets himself go and starts eating a dozen donuts a day...

I was able to confirm the car has the tow hitch installed already. I will say, the dust cover is a major pain in the ass. You need a screw driver to pry it off and then, its nearly impossible to reinstall. Im sure the clips are going to break at some point. It is definitely not a piece that you...

yes, that made me feel MUCH better knowing that I have an older version of a software that limits what I can do with my car. You probably also have iOS 13.5 while I am still on iOS 2.3? Lol

I just confirmed that my car does NOT have the newest video game "Fall out Shelter" which confirms that my software is a bit behind. It's so weird how these software updates roll out and how you have to wait for weeks to get stuff. (even in a brand new vehicle). I ended up formatting a small...

I am on 2020.11.103.5. Im guessing that is the issue? How do I force the car to upgrade to to 2020.20.12? The care is literally brand new (picked up last night and is VIN 234xx). Any tips would be great....

Sadly there is no format button that comes up which makes me think the car is not recognizing that it is even connected.

Not sure how to format it in the car?

I bought the Samsung T5 because it got great reviews for dash cam and century recordings. I plug it in to the USB-C port and The little camera icon does not appear on the screen. Isn’t it supposed to connect and automatically format in the Tesla nowadays? What am I doing wrong? It is definitely...

Ill have to check...

There were a few blue exteriors in Littleton but none that had white interior. There were ALOT of white exterior black interior (the free combination). I counted at least 15 white with black on the lot and there was a transport truck delivering a few more.

Just picked up my MSM/White/Perf/FSD/Towhitch MY this evening in Littleton, CO. I was originally scheduled to pick up tomorrow (Tuesday) but I called them this morning and asked if they had any openings and they fit me in at 5:30PM. My model ended up being VIN 234xx. The service center people...

Yay! I was right! Lol

Just got my new MY back and have it charging. But I walk away and the screen remains on (bright charging status screen). Does it ever shut off or how do I have it turn off while it sits in my garage over night charging?

Daerik has a couple of videos on the subject (Including DIY install)

O ordering a 1up rack for my MY. Can you please update if an extension is needed?

I don't think the Ihave every bought a new car that had less than 10 miles on the odometer. Makes me wonder if they drive these things around a test track to make sure the wheels and brakes don't fall off before loading it on a transport truck.

Here is my thought on this. All the cars seem to come with "15 miles" on the MVPA. My guess is that your car was sent to the SC to be used as a demo vehicle and then they realized that they didn't need it as a demo vehicle and then sold /assigned it to a person who had that same configuration...

Mine shows 15 miles as well. Must be the standard they put on all new cars to account for any chance they need to take the car for a test drive at the SC to fix anything that they find. Hard to sell a car that says 0 miles on it and then when the customer picks it up it has 10 miles already on it.

Are you handy and a DIYer? While I wouldnt try putting clear bra all over your car, applying a ceramic coat is not too difficult.The cost of a consumer ceramic coating is about $60. This video comes from an amazing guy (Pan) from Montreal. The only caution is that you need to make sure you dont...

Hi there, Ive been researching clear bra and ceramic coating for my MY as well. I am a fan of XPEL clear bra and found this company "Denver Auto Shield" which quoted my $3150 for a full paint correction, half XPEL clear bra (full bumper, full hood, a pillars, etc) and then ceramic coating to...

I-80 is a bitch with those winds!!! Drove to Jackson Hole from Denver last year and it was blowing 50 as a head wind and we were going 70. Almost ripped the Thule roof box off my friends car!

FWIW, the delivery specialist in Superior, Colorado said to me a day ago, that "normally, third quarter vehicles would head over seas but Tesla is NOT doing that with the Model Y this year". I guess that means people who don't get a Model Y in June may still get one in July.

Yeah, Littleton said they have 12 deliveries PER HOUR for tomorrow and tuesday. Im expecting a less than ideal experience but who knows...

"Jeff" at the Superior SC had told me about it a few days earlier and apparently had tried to get it diverted from Texas while enroute to Tampa. No luck obviously. And since Telsa doesnt have regular transport shipments from "east to west", there was going to be a bit of a delay getting the car...

PJ was also the "Bearer of bad news" to me as well...She told me my car went to Tampa Florida instead of Superior and suggested I drop that VIN and get a new one.

Any luck this evening?

So glad to hear! Enjoy and post some pics!

Good luck this evening!

Great review and discussion. Enjoy!

I saw that too. The final line in the OP post sparked my curiosity as well..."Hopefully this was an isolated incident but wondering if others have had Model Y issues?". I was like "Ahhh dude, did you even LOOK at any of the other threads on this site? They are literally ALL about quality issues"

I too agree that 7k-8k is pretty steep for FSD. However, I see FSD improving fairly consistently and dramatically in the last year and even in the last couple of months. So they are definitely updating it regularly. I would not be surprised if in a year it is twice as good as it is now. I have...

As I get many "disagrees" for my comment about whether your post was legit or not, I will say I apologize if in fact your post reflects a real experience with your Model Y. Not fun to look forward to a delivery and have it not even closely meet your expectations or hopes. I do like when people...

Interesting. I had thought most panel gaps had been realigned. I certainly get that wind noise is definitely something that might be harder to "find" and then to "fix". And if it is a big annoyance for someone, it will drive you crazy everytime you are on the highway!

It appears that things like the tail lights and frunk/trunk alignment are a snap to "make right". Significant paint issues (not just a chip or a swirl) are likely NOT easy for the SC to fix. Assuming a buyer has some patience to let the dealer have the car for a day or two or perhaps a couple of...
