Purchased mine via inventory on the 9/8. Picked it up on 9/28.

You only see a difference if traveling at faster speeds (highway). if the commute local and not very fast there is no increase miles. However, if you drive an hour highway with and without the caps there is a difference.

Yes, however in the last six cars I've leased there was never an issue with tire wear for three years with all six cars. The fact there is an issue with tire wear within 24 months of a Tesla is odd. I don't drive insane.

I'm about to return my lease Y in two weeks. What was the cost from Tesla to replace your tires? I have a feeling they will require me to replace mine. I considered going to a tire place and replacing them all for $200 each. Also, did you do a paper inspection return or did a person inspect...

I already pulled the plug on a new Model Y in inventory. Was $1500 off which is normal for my area (DC). Will be here in two weeks. Now, I need to clean up my lease to turn in. My main concern is the tires. I don't think it will pass their inspection if they do it. I've leased six cars...

I've leased my last six vehicles. While each lease does stipulate what's required upon lease return, I've never seen a company as strict as Tesla. My last six vehicles have been: Audi, Infinity, Lexus, Acura, Acura (again), and now Tesla. All $50k price range. All prior vehicles upon lease...

Another con for the 2020 is the battery is already four years old. Pay the $10 for a new model. Plus, USS will be disabled via software in the future.

I just did something similar. My leased Y will be returning at the end of the month early (suppose to be next summer). Just purchased a new Y off the line today. Will arrive near me in 10-14 days. With the $7500 tax credit and not having to buy four new tires for my leased Y it saves a...

There are certainly many pros to ordering a car from Tesla. The lack of sales people really helps. It's as simple as ordering any product online versus haggling with prices, etc.

It seems there's always 2-5 new/demo vehicles in any area for sale right away. If one of these matches your options, what's the pro/con of just buying an existing one versus ordering one? I assume the only pro is you get the vehicle sooner. Anything else?

Based on these posts the wait period is only a month for a new Model Y LR order these days?

Agreed, would be nice to have the option of brown trim with white interior. Would look nice.

The black interior comes with brown wood trim. The white does not. Wanted to know if it's changed at all for 2023.

Looking through photos and sites it seems some of the Model Y 2023 comes with wood trim and some do not. On the Tesla site they show wood trim with back interior and standard trim with the white interior. Anyone confirm?

I'm amazed people are spending $300-500 for a garage opener. Just take your garage remote and Velcro it to the back of your monitor. I have mine in the lower left. You can't see it and it takes less than two seconds to press. Cheaper than paying hundreds.

I've had two flat tires and a broken rear window with my Model Y and I STILL would trade in any ICE for it. The ability to never go to the gas station or change oil is amazing. I have 300 miles every morning ready in my car. Plus, cost about $12/13 to drive 300 miles versus $60/70. Also, to...

I hope so. I have two years left on my leased Y and I'd prefer to buy it versus ordering another car. As of now Tesla has denied the ability to purchase a leased car which is not normal. If the market goes down they'll allow it since they can't make a major profit off selling my used leased...

The interior is "barebone" by design. However, the materials used on Tesla cars are nowhere near as good quality as other brands. But, that comes with the Tesla brand. It is what it is. You want it. You take it. No one is forcing anyone to purchase a Tesla.

They're not even the same vehicle type. One is a pick up truck (and a large one at that) and the other is a small compact SUV.

Press the Park button? Only takes .5 seconds and it's much safer as your kids get into the car.

Your first mistake was assuming Tesla was a "luxury" brand. Especially with a Model Y.

Just like life 🥲. We all lose range in the end.

Battery also drains if you check your car from the app.

As soon as a manufacture builds an electric car that can go 225-250 miles on a full charge for around $25k-$30k they'll take the market. It won't be Tesla.

I drive in Chill mode 24/7. It's been on that setting since day one of having the Y. It still faster than 90% of the cars on the road, not that going fast is that important.

You'll get used to it. Battery cars are not like gas cars. The faster you drive the more battery you use up. Anything over 65mph will eat up the battery quick. I have a weekend home 60 miles away. 90% of the drive the speed limit is 70mph. I drive 80mph. It eats up over 100 miles off the...

Love my Y, but at the price point now I would not purchase or lease it. There are so many options coming within the next 24 months. The Model 3 was suppose to be their affordable car. It started out being $35,000 and it's now $50,000. Pricing is out of control and the build quality is still...

I feel it is necessaary since it's a long distance. One route I take the speed limit is 70mph. I drive 80mph and easily use up "150 miles" on the battery. Charging to 100% when using it well past 85% is perfectly fine. I even asked the service center twice (two different techs) and they both...

I charge to 100% whenever I need to drive more than 100 miles. My schedule normally requires driving over 100 miles 1-2 times a week. I do this: 1. Charge my car to 85% as usual the night before. 2. Before I sleep I turn on the scheduled charging and set it to start charging at 6:30am. 3. I...

Depends on location. Washington DC metro area there are Teslas everywhere.

Don't use auto headlights. Unless you're in rural areas you don't need high beams. The headlights these days are extremely bright already.

OP is referring to shade from a tree 😁

Yes, I use both mirrors regularly as well as turning my head and looking. I don't use the images on screen. It's faster for me to turn my head and just look. People are just lazy and images on the screen are not as effective as a one second turn of the head. Been driving over three decades...

Yes

The faster you drive the more power is used. AC/Heat uses power. Sentry uses power. Everything uses power from the battery. It's important to slowly realize EV cars do not operate the same as gas cars. Everything the Tesla does runs off the battery which means your "miles" will decrease...

I have a few times. Car was too dirty for a brushless wash. I never found an issue. The material and paint is cheap so it scratches versus a normal car. Not a fan of that from Tesla. I'm within 15-20 minutes of both brush and brushless car washes. The brushless is good just to get stuff...

I have an appointment with the mobile unit also to install the ports and charging pad. it only took them five minutes?

Not including any charging cord is insane. Horrific move. Imagine a buyer forgetting to purchase the "optional" mobile charger? You get the car and now cannot charge it? The mobile charger should be part of the car so owners can at least charge with a regular 110v wall outlet. I use the...

It passes after 4-5 months.

The smoother you drive the better quality you'll get from the Tesla (or any car). Don't speed. Don't slam the breaks. Don't speed up, then down, then up, then down, etc. Steady pace is best. Also, no need for AC or heat? Don't use it. As OP stated, all these small things add up if you're...

I used my temp tags for almost two months. I called the DMV and they said to just ask Tesla for an update. I ended getting them about 2.5 months later. Though, DMV told me to contact the dealer specifically.

I didn't even read all of it. Who takes that long to type up a real post? Paid negative ad 100%. That said, the OP stated it was a lease. So, it's due back soon. Enjoy no longer having the Tesla. I have a Model Y and do not experience any of the issues you have. And for all those who keep...

Another Model Y.

A few items to consider: 1. Prior the P was $10k more than the LR. 2. Not everyone cares about going fast. All Teslas are the fastest cars on the road already. What is the major advantage of going one seconds faster? 3. The miles are estimated and depends on how someone drives. If a P is...

I keep one in my wallet. Have used it on several occasions. It's not touching other cards though. It's in its own sleeve.

Yes, and most people charge at home so they're never just sitting in their car waiting. I have not once turned on any app besides ones related to driving the car. My iPhone has better apps than the ones on the Tesla. It's ridiculous to have calendar, text, games, streaming as primary...

Until they allow more function buttons at the bottom bar updates are pointless. Who needs calendar, phone, text, games, toys, streaming, etc on the bottom bar when 90% of them cannot be used while driving. I don't sit in my car to play game or look at my calendar. I have a phone or computer...

The chip shortage will not end by next year. Not even close.

I've been driving for over 30 years. I will never go back to gas vehicles. I drive about 14k to 15k a year. Wasn't unusual to visit the gas station twice a week or three times in two weeks. Hated it. Add in the time/cost for oil changes, filters, etc... No thank you. Not ever going to the...

I receive the error off and on. It's condensation that's inside the glass. When I look closely it's there. Normally goes away.
