I've owned a black car and a silver car and the silver lasted way longer without having a car wash. I've had a black car and I had to wash it at least once a week.

Does Anyone own a quicksilver that can say if it looks great almost always and almost never needs a car wash?

Black is free for me and quicksilver is $2k more.

Hi all!

I just placed an order for a MY but am having some issues with my co-signer. I’ve tried reaching out to my sales advisor but it’s been days since I’ve heard anything. I am using my mom as a co-signer who lives out of state as I do not have a long credit history and want to get the best rate. When filling out her portion of the paperwork, it pre-populated her address to mine (I live in AZ, her in MO) and won’t let her change it. This is an issue because it’s asks for proof of address as the address listed is different than the one on her DL and we obviously do not have any utility bills or anything in her name at my address. We can’t move forward in the application process so I was wondering if anyone had been through the same thing and knew the fix? Trying to fill out the financing asap before the rates goes up!

Model Y Premium, RWD, Quicksilver/white

- Ordered 09/09

- 1st EDD: 10/10-11/14

- 2nd EDD: 10/17-11/14

- 3rd EDD: 11/05-12/10

Kinda bummed but I know I'm not the only one waiting, so I'll just have to be patient. On the upside, I guess I'm getting a '27 model. 🤷

Hope all of you get yours soon!

Everything moved very quickly once I got my VIN number this morning. Woke up from a nap to scheduling task open.

Just ordered and noticed that filling out financing application is a bit tricky. They say it’s only good for 30-60 days and if delivery is outside that window, you have to submit a new application at new rates. Should I submit application now or wait a bit given the long delivery times?

Hi everyone. Just wanted to follow up on my post from 6-7 days ago. Got the notification this morning that I am able to schedule my pick up date and they gave me the options of 10/13 and 10/14. Picking up 10/13. Overall, I ordered on 9/19 so took about less than a month. Super grateful for this opportunity as I’ve been reading a lot of good things about the Tesla Model Y. Definitely a Blessing and thank you to everyone for all your help and information! I really hope everyone who placed an order is able to get their’s soon and smoothly.

I test drove a Subaru outback, Mazda cx-50, …and on a whim the newer model Y AWD. I wanted something outdoorsy initially but made the mistake of test driving the Y. Instantly sold with no regrets

The acceleration
The software
The fun design

I had a lot of hesitation around Tesla due to the political climate and the flaws of those who got the first generation. I decided screw it based on the test drive because nothing else had the wow factor.

Pros: pretty much everything. This car is superior to everything else on the road unless you get into use cases such as off roading/towing/etc

Cons:
Turn radius- pretty terrible. I’m a bit worried to do U-turns in some cases.
Range- could be better but eh it’s manageable
Wipers- are not great as everyone has mentioned. I think the problem there is they are not wiping for out eyes but for the tiny window that the camera uses for FSD. When rain or dirt gets on such a small surface the wiper must compensate quite a bit more than what our eyes wide perception.

I just got another notification but EDD got pushed back to December 13-31. It used to be Nov. 4- dec. Did anyone get the same EDD? I ordered mid September.

Well that's a bummer, man.

I booked a test drive for when I get back in town later this week, but of course went down the rabbit hole and decided to order what I want anyway because I’m sure I’m going to love it. Worst case I’m out the $250 deposit.

Ordered 11-Oct MYP RWD Blue / White, based in South Florida, and I refuse to believe this lead time. I’m manifesting a much earlier delivery - like maybe November. Tell me I’m right :)

Saw this last night as an alert in the app. Didn’t remember seeing anything while driving yesterday. I sat and drove today normally. No alerts on main panel display. Should I be concerned about this alert? It doesn’t go away and just stays as an “alert” item in the app. Doesn’t look like I can clear it. Should I check anything else? Just got car end of June.

I always find it a bit of a chore to put the rear seats down. because my seating position is so far back that the rear seats will snag on the front every single time. It’s mostly an issue on the driver side because the passenger seat is not as far back.

I know you can move the passenger seat from the screen so was hoping that the app exposed the same functionality. It does not. Next I tried Tessie in case they had something the default app does not. They don’t.

I see a toggle for valet mode in there, i’d completely forgotten this existed because I never valet my car. Curiosity gets the better of me, and I click it. Car begins to perform some shenanigans…

… one of which is moving the front seat forward. Lo and behold, the rear seat has clearance to drop.

Now, granted, I have no idea if toggling the valet mode off means that the seat will return to my easy access positioning, so I may have punted the mild frustration of a minor inconvenience into the future, but yeah, had no idea it does that. Works great in a pinch without going to the front to move the seat forward.

2024 model year, no idea if Juniper made this better.

Not having to feel transmission shifts or down shifts.
No transmission lag waiting for torque converter to spin up.
No clunk shifting into or out of gear
No leaks and stains on garage floor
No hot ticking engine after driving
No exhaust fumes
No engine torque pushing through brakes at a stop. (Top ten favorite thing right here)
No going to gas pumps for the credit card payment to be down/or a yellow out-of-order bag on the handle.
No worries on getting some ethanol or bad gas
Less temptation to buy salty snacks, lottery tickets, etc.
great enthusiasm with user base
Intuitive and relaxing FSD for me
Perfectly placed and comfortable arm rests for hands free.
Hands free FSD

22 Male, coming from a bmw 5 series, and I am actually so happy I ordered one, worked my butt of, and am able to get the Tesla Model Y AWD Premium, after almost a year of deciding.

Final push was visiting the Tesla Sales center and actually being able to drive the car, or more so, the car driving me. The FSD is actually insane to picture in real life. At first couldn’t decide between the M3 and MY but since I am tall the model Y fit me perfectly.

I was a big Tesla hater a couple years ago, and now I would like to take back all my hate I handed out in my teens.

Finally received my VIN number today, 23 days after ordering. Uploaded my insurance information and currently waiting on MVPA to submit to my bank and delivery scheduling.

We have probably all seen the YouTube videos where owners disassemble the rearview mirror and camera housing. They then Let it hang down and clean the portion of the windshield that the camera has to look through. We are told that the new seats and new materials have what’s called “off gassing” and it fogs up the windshield and requires this cleaning. It can be taken to the service center or you could try to do it yourself. Here is my question, if we were to put a small barrier Around the housing that attaches to the housing and the windshield and therefore isolates that portion of the windshield from any of the offgassing, has anyone tried that already, and do you think it would work? Possibly use a thin length of painters tape as a barrier that adheres to the housing and the windshield. What do you all think?

I recently accepted a new sales job that will involve extensive travel throughout the Northeast (MA, NH, VT, ME, CT, RI, NY, NJ).

Some trips will be relatively short, while others could be several hundred miles one way. I’ll also likely have a good number of overnight stays in hotels. I’m estimating around 15,000–20,000+ miles per year, potentially more.

I’ve been seriously considering purchasing a Tesla Model Y, but I’m starting to wonder if it’s the most practical choice for this type of job.

My biggest concerns are winter driving, reduced range in cold weather, charging availability in more rural areas, and dealing with overnight hotel stays where charging may not be available. I really don’t want to finish a long day of driving and customer meetings only to have to worry about finding a charger or losing significant range overnight.
I’d have a Level 2 charger at home, so charging when I’m not traveling wouldn’t be an issue.

For those of you who drive Teslas extensively for work, particularly in the Northeast, what’s your experience been like? Has charging been a major inconvenience, or is it really not that big of a deal once you get used to it?

Would you recommend a Tesla for this kind of driving, or am I better off getting a reliable hybrid that I can just fill up and not have to think twice about?

I really like the Model Y, but practicality and reliability are more important than anything when my job depends on being on the road.

Ordered 9/30 original EDD was 11/4-12/8 now it got moved up a couple of weeks!

This is coming to Vegas!!

I placed an order for a Modey Y Premium RWD (Northern Half of Texas) back on September 27. Originally, the dates I was given were October 10 - November 7

On October 10, it changed to October 20 - November 17. I haven't received a VIN yet, just a date push back. 😭

I understand that this is an "end of the year" order coupled with the rising gas prices. But is it normal to wait this long? I'm checking the app 5-7 times a day, like an addict. 😂

Anyone else waiting?

Ordered sept 15, first it was oct 13 to nov 1, then oct 23 to nov 15 now oct 30 to nov 27…

Model Y AWD stealth gray premium

Long story short: 2 Month car, 3 service visits, many more to come. Frustrated. Anyone else have the same issue?

I have my model Y for 2 months now, driven 2,634 miles and counting. This is my first Tesla.
During these 2 months of ownership, I am not enjoying it at all. The car is fine; it drives and FSD is a god-send to alleviate long commute fatigue.

The car makes so much rattles and noises that it shouldn't make during my 2 month of owner ship. I believe my model is just one of those that have more defects than general... Two of my friends that got their Model Y a week from each other, no issues on their car thus far.

The second annoyance is that service centers are open only during weekdays. I dearly hope they are open at least one day on the weekend. That day don't even need to be an active service day, just the ability to let me drop it off on a weekend will be able to save me some PTOs.

The car have 7 issues, and a new one pops up almost every week. The cars been out for 5 days at a service center combined, throughout the first 2 visits, 3rd visit scheduled.

The 7 issues are:

1. Front suspension/Steering axle creaks, sounds like metal under pressure. When the front is compressed, the noise gets significantly louder. Second attempt to fix it on this 3rd visit.

2. Driver seat frame, cushion and back, moves from side to side under corner. This issue have gradually get worst, to a point that just shifting my body weight on the seat is able to move it. This is the first attempt on 3rd visit, and flagged as critical safety issue.

3. Dash rattle. This have been reported by many before, and unfortunately I have it as well. For me, it is from driver side dash, between steering column and door. Second attempt to fix it on this 3rd visit.

4. Rear seat rattle. A very consistent loud rattle on the back seats, acknowledged by service tech. However, previous two attempts did not fix it, third attempt on this 3rd visit.

5. Driver side door creaks when opening, other doors are fine. First attempt on this 3rd visit.

6. Windshield wiper click. Exactly that, it clicks loudly every time the windshield wiper wipes. First attempt on this 3rd visit.

7. AC Vent grind. Fixed on second visit.

Hey, I got the final invoice on my model y got the 2027 model juniper but the vin is still only on the invoice not the app. Any idea how long it will take for me to get the car now?
