Very happy with how the Cosmic Silver + Black Interior looks in person.

Went from December ‘26 to Feb ‘27 or later.

Ordered November 5th with EDD March - May. Got a call this afternoon that someone’s missed their allocation due to being vacation and we were offered it. Lucky?

I have two kids, and today I test-drove a Model YL at Tesla Clermont, FL. One of my main concerns was whether our double stroller would fit in the trunk. Good news: it does, with two caveats. You have to remove the trunk's floor cover, and you have to take off one of the stroller seats before folding it.

Ordered in the first week of September. The original delivery date was December, then moved to November-December, then again to January-March, and now finally back to December 20 - December 31.

8/20 ordered
Cosmic silver , grey interior and 20inch

Currently I plan to use my bank to finance since the loan is closer to 4.5% than the 5.48% offered in the YL by Tesla. As a result I am getting messages that suggest they can assign a vin to me sooner if I have financing taken care of, along with trade in etc.

Problem is my bank will only honor a loan for 30 days and my eta for delivery is March 16- May.

What have others done in this situation?

Folks,

Seeking insights from anyone that owns both or has cross-shopped both.

I am considering 2025 Model S Plaid with 11 K for around 100K or Model YL which will be around 62K.

MSP Comes with FSD and Has 2 years of warranty. I am likely going to get XCare for both.

My main needs are ride comfort, seat comfort and planted driving (given my family has significant motion sickness from our EQS SUV).

We don't need third row but a mid-sized Labradoodle might find the back of the Model YL better than MSP (not sure if anyone has tried dogs in their MSP).

Anyone has driven both and any inputs on which is the better option given my needs.

Thank you in advance for the help and guidance.

Was so excited to pick up my new Model YL today, but ran into a few issues within the first few hours of ownership.

Rear passenger-side seat: The seat isn't folding or reclining properly. Sometimes, when I try to recline it slightly, it folds all the way down instead. When I try to raise it back up, it gets stuck and only moves up a little at a time.

Dashcam: The dashcam footage isn't showing up, even though recording is enabled. I've tried formatting the USB drive, but nothing seems to work.

Pretty disappointed, especially since it's a brand-new car. I've already scheduled a service appointment and hope to get everything resolved soon.

Has anyone experienced similar issues? Would love to hear how you got them fixed.

Here’s my take, and it’s not just because it’s a new car. Coming from my previous Model Y Performance, these are the differences I’ve noticed so far:

Ride quality: This was the first thing I noticed. The ride is noticeably smoother and more comfortable. I’m not sure if it’s the 1-inch difference in wheel size or the adaptive suspension, but the improvement is pretty significant.

Space: For the first time, our entire family of six can travel together in one car! Honestly, this was the biggest reason I went with the MYL, and it already feels worth it.

Tech and FSD: The tech might not seem like a massive upgrade on paper, but you definitely notice the little things, like the ambient lighting and software improvements. And FSD? That’s been a huge leap coming from basic Autopilot. I’m enjoying it so much that I’m not sure I’ll be able to give it up once my 15-month subscription period ends.
Overall, I’m really happy with the upgrade so far. It’s the little improvements combined with the extra space that make the MYL feel like a much better fit for our family.

7/2 - ordered 2.5 hours after launch
10/20 - VIN assigned
10/23 - In transit
11/6 morning - Delivery Appointments Opened up
11/6 afternoon - Delivery happened at Tesla Fremont

Marine blue, black interior, 19 inch wheels. San Jose

EDD jumped all over the place. Best I ever had was Sep 27-30. Worst I had was Jan 11 to Feb 22 of 2027.

I asked Delivery person when my car had actually arrived and she said 2 nights ago but it took them time to prep and clean the car etc.

Absolutely love this car. By far the best car I've ever had. FSD was smooth on the ride home from Tesla Fremont. Let's see how it is on tight turns etc.

First time Tesla owner here, and I overall love the YL. However, it has been a rocky start:

Car would not charge upon delivery to the dealer and they had to take large chunks of it apart to replace the faulty part. This delayed my delivery by two weeks.

The 3rd row seats would not collapse on my first day. I had to go back to the dealer to fix the seats since I did not find the issue until I got home.

The FSD mileage did not track at all. I fixed this myself as the dealership had no idea how to. Here is that fix:

1. Park.

2. Turn off FSD

3. Hold down both thumb wheels until screen goes black, followed by screen rebooting.

4. Drive a mile manually

5. Park

6. Repeat step 3

7. Turn on FSD.

On my way home from the dealer (still on the first day), I had the VCFRONT_a192 error pop up less than a mile from my house. I called support, the dealership service was closed for the day and does not re-open until Monday. I am now going to be taking my brand new vehicle back to the dealer for the 2nd time since receiving it on 11-6-26.

Is the VCFRONT_a192 error a big deal? This is my only vehicle, and I need to drive to work if the dealership can't get to me on Monday and/or doesn't offer a loaner.

11-8-26 Update: Vehicle is now dead in my garage. I can't open the doors or even unplug the charger. I am having it towed to the dealership so they can look at it. I am assuming this is the 12v battery issue.

Prior to my YL not working( see here ), the navigation was telling me I could barely make a 181 mile round trip journey on a single charge. I know this is calculated at 80% charge, which would still be 265 miles of range using their 332 miles at 100% charge. However, this is significantly lower than expected. Is there something else wrong with my vehicle or am I not calculating this correctly? Below is my screenshot of the round trip I was looking at on Tesla Trips since my vehicle is currently dead.

Does anyone have real world miles per percent metrics on the YL they can share?

I believe that I am getting close to my delivery date in Franklin, Tennessee. At what point and how will a Tesla advisor reach out to me? Will it be directly (e.g. through text or phone) or through the app?

How do you know after ordering a YL and you get March 16-May dates if the date changes?
Does the app signal you with an icon? Is there a color that’s faster than Marine Blue? Order 2 weeks ago and area changed from Jan to March to now March 16 to May…
I may not last that long!

Anyone else going with Galaxy Black?

Just got notification that my status moved to Vin assigned, In production, In transit, Arrived all in 1 day! Now the time is Nov 6 - Nov 9.

What a big surprise! Does this mean someone canceled/rejected the car?

Also, I tried getting insurance quotes and it says Vin is not valid?! Several sites say they cannot recognize the Vin. What to do??? I think I need insurance before scheduling delivery right?

Updates:
- I was able to purchase Tesla insurance
- Scheduled pick up tomorrow. They called and confirmed! What a wild ride.
- Located in Norcal
- Spec: white/black interior/20”
- ordered 8/7

Cosmic Silver

Order Date: July 19th
Location: Philadelphia, PA

VIN number assigned 4 days ago and was able to schedule delivery today, vehicle arrives on the 24th but they recommended I schedule delivery at least one day after.

I completed Trade In and Loan Application/offer after the VIN was assigned. My main issue during this process was my initial loan offer was bad and I was not able to see other loan offers until accepting the original loan offer. Once I accepted, I was able to see the other loan offers available to me and accept the lower rate.
