1. Great debate - and should be very helpful to any new potential car buyer 2. I own 2 Teslas. 2019 and 2023 models. Due to Covid and other personal scenarios my driving has been less compared to heavier normal drives. Someone here said it well. The political/Elon issues and other angles make...

Totally new to cargo tow hitch thing. Have a 7 seater. Trying to figure out ways for additional cargo (travel with 3 kids). I’m totally new to cargo thing (what this entails on driving habits, safety and Y specific things and benefits). Considering I love to go on all weather conditions esp...

My delivery experience (about 5 months back in CT/NY area) was shockingly bad. Folks who come over phone BEFORE order is placed are very nice and eager to help out. They are generally clueless about specs/details of the car (at that time HW4 and some other questions were met with confused...

Adding for benefit of anyone in similar position. I did get this fixed (drove last couple weeks and tire pressure very very consistent now in cold or hot states - quite I had expected). They did say they had small fix (interpreted that to mean to a leak may be) - the guys at this tire shop seem...

Im curios how you arrive at this number while you have utility bill in front of you. Cause they tack 1000 other charges. Is the best way to divide the bill total with total kwh used that month (I believe that would be all inclusive and fair) ? I’m in Connecticut and rates seem way too high...

I picked up 12/14 in Mt Kisko. The whole delivery process is nasty (esp for CT registrants). I initially thought this was CT special case (no direct sells in CT, only Mt Kisko). I had minor issues with car quality (and I’m not too touchy, but do expect them to respond sensibly). The whole...

Oddly I do have Amazon pucks but when I showed it to a perplexed tech who was about to drive my car away to their working area (not visible to customer) - he indicated they have padded lifts (?!) - and I couldn’t argue with him more. Just wary of taking 20 day old car to them - but hoping...

My only hitch (and that too cause car is so new that it’s on temp number plate :)) is tire folks handling a new car in a rush (and more lifting it without pucks). But things have gotten better last year or so with many more Teslas coming in for service (in southern CT) and tire or garage folks...

I suspected that too initially as I moved up and down I95 corridor, temps ranging from 70s to high 20s overnight and somehow my current pressure gauge also showing variations, coupled with hot/cold tire pressure thing. I just don’t see the consistency yet but being in consistent temps over this...

makes sense - will monitor today as well (esp after I inflated yesterday morning, at least temps last 2 days within the region won’t make it change significantly). App does show temp moved from 45psi to 41psi in this tire remotely but will check later in the day after it’s run a bit (I suspect...

It seems like it’s holding around 39/38 PSI - was just concerned that it will go lower and give an alarm or other issues while someone else in family uses it and inflated it again to 43/cold PSI.

Also there is no Discount Tire around here. So either Tesla or local tire shop would bet only options

Ok - but if they cannot “see” the nail would Tesla take a look (their mobile service has come in before - about 45m away from nearest service center) ? Just looks more like valve or other tire issue than flat up nail - just the slowness of PSI going down over days. Drove it over 400 mile trip...

Have a new LR Model Y (Dec ‘23). It’s got close to 1k miles. Have been noticing I need to add pressure to one of the tires (goes down to 39ish PSI after I fill it up to 44-45 hot). This is with in town drive (<50 miles for daily work drive). I have to inflate it every other day. This is with...

Could I also ask you if you did alignment during those 18k miles and at what point in terms of miles? I had Model 3 and OEM lasted only 18k. My second set has lasted close to 30k now! Though nearing its life and due a swap. Location of drive and style did not change much. With 2nd set I was...

Is this cold tire pressure or hot (after car has run for at least 30m) ? break it up for me please Also is it right pressure for winter (east coast winter highway drive)? If I can add more to the twist - is it recommended for <500 mile new car (I believe new tires need some “break in” time?)...

Have you ever used Acceleration Boost? Just wondering practical utility of getting it. I still don’t see FSD but have 10k credits as well. I do see free SC under Account > Charging in the app. I think by 10k credits you have option of getting 3 month FSD. Not sure how useful vision based FSD...

Took delivery of new MY yesterday. I don’t see any 3 months FSD thing. I’m checking under “Software” on display. Only shows Autopilot as Included package. I do see 10,000 points available under redeem. But no FSD. The person at delivery said it may take a day or two for system to recognize and...

1. What is Big O? I’m in CT too so would be curious if I travel near “Big O” can take a shot there. 2. I last paid 125$ so not as bad. Problem is immediate travel and holiday super busy schedule at shops.

Can Tesla delivery do anything? Like a pre check to say whether it needs alignment in immediate timeframe or not? (I guess may be not) Can’t they have some tech to display it on screen the state of current alignment? Will be so cool Is there a way a mechanic can tell? (I know the driving...

For a newly delivered MY (Dec 2023) - what would be the immediate service items? Given this is around Holiday times when shops are super busy - what would be immediate checks/service you would look to get done on new Y? Is wheel alignment advised? Any other potential service? TIA! -...

Great info. But Tesla’s app (as of Dec 2023) has a clear step when setting up new car for the buyer to fill. It asks for DL, and “if transferring plates” and requests old car registration document pic. When I was at Mt Kisko in person the person I spoke with seem very clear about using plates...

Hello to all forum members! I’m looking to sell my current Model 3 to Carmax (or Vroom - awaiting offer) and picking up end of the week at Mt Kisko MY LR Based in Wilton CT. What do I do about the number plates (want to keep the current plates that I have and use it on new car) ? One Tesla rep...

Up in NY/CT area delivery centers (Mt Kisko, Brooklyn..) have their mailbox full and totally unreachable since order was put in. It’s a horror story tbh- the delivery part and end of Q or end of Yr. Not doing it again.

I have a 2019 M3 and phantom braking seems quite less (at least last 1 or 2 years). I am yet to upgrade to 2023/24 Tesla so can add on if I see PB with new one. This has prevented me from upgrading a year earlier. So I completely understand where you’re coming from. I’ll be keeping my fingers...

Since Tesla (and esp delivery center) is totally unreachable over phone (and far away)… if I may ask here - is just carrying cheque book to one of NY delivery centers good enough for payment ? I know of references to electronic/via app/ACH in comments - I feel like I don’t fully understand if I...

Would anyone know what 9th position in the MY VIN indicates 7SAYGAEE7 vs 7SAYGAEE9.. - both 7 seaters and EE9 is later build (~Dec 1 build). - TIA

Thanks for all above comments and bumping to request a similar solution (hopefully all wireless and without using/wiring up 12v cigarette socket?!) 2023 LR Y here - and have issues parking in super tight garage and wife using it. Not sure where to place the camera (solar one on Amazon). Any...

Anyone in NY metro area with info on delivery dates esp if they’re moving ahead or pushing back for an idea. For inventory car (that was showing “Arriving Soon”) Just ordered a LR 7 seater day before 12/5 and estimated dates are quite far (23rd Dec or later). Seems weird esp since inventory car...

Requesting feedback from any member who’s taken delivery very recently. Ordered LR Y 7 seater couple days back around Dec 4th (site showed “Arriving soon”). Expected delivery now says Dec 23-Dec 30. I may have to travel around that time but would love to take delivery like around 20th (or may...

Is there an option to swap Black with White seats (after purchase) or vice versa (meant Tesla upgrade or similar option, and idea on cost) I only found some 2021 threads and would be great to know of current options (esp. if Tesla does it!?). White seems more in demand. And longer wait as well...

thank you! Well summarized and makes sense.

Hello all, kindly suggest 19” vs 20” experience on LR Model Y (any pros/cons or personal recommendations around this) I may have to make a last min decision and had only test driven 19” Y a while back. Even 19” wheel had a lot of road feel (bumps and uneven roads were not great) that too...

trying to bump this with the hope of finding anyone who experienced this or something similar? Thanks

What is new in 2024 model Y (vs 2023 Y, say Nov/Dec model) - just the ventilated seats may be? TIA

Tesla could save 1000$ by making tow hitch optional (or can be paid later as an upgrade). Making 6 or 7 seater options minus tow hitch (to save Tesla some money) under 80k for 7,500$ rebate would make lot of folks considering not just Model Y but other SUVs interested in a family use X.

bumping - if anyone is aware of both Federal and CT state rebate being available together (given tax liability exceeds the two amounts together). ? Thanks

On Tesla site for new Model Y LR it’s shows 2250$ ‘ CT Incentive’… over Federal rebate of 7,500? Is this new in CT (and does it work on top of 7,500$) ? Bit stumped. CT had not had any additional rebates/incentives and quite unlike other states like say NJ. So just want to know more before...

Can you add more to BMW assisted driving being superior to Tesla AP? BMW has iX (electric) models coming out (smaller range though from what I last checked compared to Ys) and with their AP/AD that would be very interesting. Thanks!

This has been about my experience too in NY (Mt Kisko). Firstly, staff is in general very courteous and helpful which I much appreciated. It’s just the process (and about 4 years back the known built issues with paint, panel gaps and other issues being at its prime). They don’t factor in the...

Does Tesla allow taking delivery in NJ for CT residents? Usually it’s Mt Kisko, NY. I have had not so good experience with Mt Kisko (very rigid on delivery slots - in general no time for answering any concerns)

“you aren't restricted to a 3 day pickup window like Mt. Kisco.” — I recently ended up canceling my delivery altogether! The whole correspondence was either too much (at the time they needed docs uploaded with multiple phone calls/texts in a flood), or if I needed any info like “build date”! -...

“Don't make the inspection a long process, it only makes the delivery advisor's job harder and less likely to help if there are issues” - I’m sure all will go smooth on this one but that isn’t too helpful. He is looking to pay close to 50,000 (after paying taxes on that earned income) and then...

Prices could also go back to 65K+ range - just something to keep in mind. Or buy now and upgrade in 2-3 yrs time when Vision is better and front cameras and HW4 are actually supported in software.

I suspected that. Thanks! Just find it hard to justify that price for USS-less and radar less MX. May be late ‘24/‘25 May have it back (aka highland upgrade) :)

Is new 79k (plus additional 3k for 6 or 7 seater) MX (latest prices) still good for 7500$ fed tax rebate? I thought 80k was the cut off but with 6 or 7 seater they won’t be eligible? Also, if we do a trade in, would I still qualify for 7500$ rebate (trade in should bring the cost down by 20k...

How do you know if this inventory car is demo car or just plain new inventory car? Thanks!

I am closely following this. About in same boat for 7 seater. The missing USS and front camera is sort of holding me back (I’m a 5yr Tesla owner so have an idea on EVs). Ys are good but no USS/safety sensors is not making me feel too easy on going for it. On the other hand - where EV cars are...

What’s the 9k in incentives - just to understand this better? Thanks!

I love Elon - he “was” different. And still do. But he has too much on his plate. He can focus on just cars and clean cars and he would’ve changed the trajectory that world moves on! For the better! I don’t think any other visionary can do justice to Tesla and all the tech that goes along...
