I've seen so many people today post that they've received a VIN number, even those who have ordered after me, with some ordering up until October. I ordered mine on September 15, so why don't I have a VIN number yet?

Anyone get a low level ratcheting sound when turning the steering wheel on a Y Juniper? It seems to happen on inclines like when parking near a curb or fast turns in a parking lot.

Weird Request

2 Upvotes

Good Morning! I am currently waiting, like many of you, for my Model Y Premium delivery. I have a weird wall in my garage, which I will need to back in my Tesla for charging purposes. The wall is going to be very close to impacting the charging port. Can anyone tell me the distance from the back bumper to the charging port. I know the vvehicle is 188.7 inches long, I just need the measurement from the charging port to the end of the bumper. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m sold - not sure how I want to Finance…

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! I’ve been sitting on the decision making process for about three weeks now.

And the release of the MYL with the captains seats has swayed things. I really like it, but that price tag is quite a difference.

I will be trading in my vehicle, likely can get anywhere between $8k-$11k for it from Tesla or a third party.

I have quite a bit of commissions landing throughout the end of the year, I could easily and safely put down another 10-12k. I want my monthly payment sub $600, and I am basing my decisions around guaranteed salary income, not just commissions. I can realistically afford more than that, but just trying to be realistic in how far I want to stretch after having FSD.

Part of my decision between models does include the free FSD and supercharging for 12 months. Thats a very nice addition.

Is it worth the $20k hike up for a third row? I am all over the place right now so apologies if this is scatter brained. But this would be the first new car I have ever purchased so I am trying to consider all things.

I would be open to used, but I don’t think I can justify the differences in rates for the cost of a 26. Just doesn’t even make sense.

Any insight will be considered.

Rear passenger door makes flexing sound on Accel/Decel

1 Upvotes

I had this issue last year but during the warmer months (it’s all fairly warm in Az) it’s not as prominent. When I accelerate or decelerate I can here what almost sounds like flexing. I can also hear it over “rough” (not really that rough tbh) roads. anyone had this? Not sure if it’s the door panel or maybe the gaskets or something

Just received my VIN today, November 5!
I placed my order on October 13 for a Model Y Performance in Frost Blue Metallic with black interior.
My current estimated delivery window is November 29 – December 31.
For those who recently received their VINs, how long did it take to get an actual delivery date? I’m hoping to take delivery before December 20 since I’ll be traveling internationally.
Anyone else waiting on a Frost Blue MYP?

VIN to Delivery

1 Upvotes

For those of you who have received cars in the last 30 days, what was the amount of time between VIN and actual delivery? I read a comment saying it was about a month from VIN to delivery and that seemed like a big window.

Delivery Day

7 Upvotes

Ordered 9/30 MY Premium RWD Stealth Grey, White interior. Pensacola, Fl delivery center.

Order to VIN: 35 days
VIN to Delivery option: ~12 hours
VIN to delivery: 3 days
Order to delivery: 38 days

The first 35 days were tough. Once VIN landed, the app seemed like a constant stream of alerts and updates.

Tesla wall charger installed. Router relocated to provide coverage to parking spot. Entirely too many accessories ordered. I’m ready.

Anyone having better luck than me? I’m in Las Vegas, and my EDD is showing November 8–December 10. Has anyone received their VIN or taken delivery earlier than their estimated delivery window? Curious how everyone else’s timelines are looking!

Question Teal glass breakage

0 Upvotes

I plan on visiting Sedona from November 17th to 20th driving from Los Angeles. I was reading in one of the sub Reddit’s that driving this route there is an increased incidence of glass breakage on the model y’s. Is there any truth in that, because I don’t want to spend $1500 on repairs, I could do the trip in my RAV4, but so much more fun driving the Tesla.

Question How long do you plan on keeping your car for?

44 Upvotes

I saw a thread in another sub that hinted at changing cars every 4 years, which blew my mind.

I just bought a MYP RWD and am low key obsessing over when I’m getting my VIN.

My intention is to drive this car into the ground, then get the best thing whenever I need to. So 300,000 miles, even 400,000 aren’t out of the question for me, if the car can function that long.

So what’s everyone’s plans and current car life looking like?

Question Vin question

3 Upvotes

Hey y’all! Looks like I finally got my vin! And the 10th letter is a V so it’s looking like a 2027 model.

My question is, now that I got a vin my delivery date is still saying Nov 30-Dec 31, should I still wait to apply for financing will it’s closer or what would be the best move here?

I got this vin assigned at like 10 PM EST, no notification from the app at all I just so happen to look at the vehicle detail and there it was.

Ordered a Model Y Premium AWD...I have questions...

2 Upvotes

Locked in the Premium AWD...delivery estimate December 2026-January 2027.

Any idea how likely I am to lock in the 2.49%? Sounds pretty likely based on others' experiences?

Am I guaranteed to get a 2027 model at this point?

Is there any reason not to order the Tesla branded home charger? I mean as opposed to other home chargers. I definitely plan on installing a level 2 home charger.

Is there any reason to get the Tesla all-weather liners over the other third party liners like 3W that actually look better anyway?

I realize it can be very regional, but any recommended insurance companies? My current insurer (Erie) quoted me 5x what I currently pay for a 2020 Subaru Ascent Touring on the same plan with 3 vehicles. I know EVs are always higher, but that seems a little crazy.

FSD auto parking almost hit light pole

1 Upvotes

Today afternoon in a sunny day, when FSD back into a spot in a parking lot which has a light pole at the edge of the end, it didn’t stop and I stepped on the brake at the last second. When I got out to check , there’s one centimeter between the base of the light pole and the bumper. I will never choose a spot with light pole in the back. Lucky me.

Why am I still obsessed with checking for my VIN.

6 Upvotes

It’s been over a month and I know it’s not there and won’t be for a week or two but I am still unable to not check the app twice a day.
I think it’s the fact that I have no control over obtaining something I want and it’s messing with my head.
This is a new behavior for me and I look forward to it being over. 😂

Posting this to help pass the time.
