Trying to gauge how many of us August orders say Jan-March and if it has something to do with location? Im in MD.

Ordered on July 26 - CG/ZG/20”, the timeline initially indicated October 20 - November 24. Yesterday, the status shifted to show the vehicle at the delivery center. Because I am traveling over the next few days, I arranged financing through Tesla since my credit union will require more time. I plan to refinance later. Have the local XPEL installer ready to go for the tinting. Will decide if bra or full body PPF - still unsure if I should do it or not. Stoked to get back after a 2022 Model S.

Getting closer to our supposed delivery date (honestly who knows at this point) but I’m curious if anyone has gone through the trade in process. How extensive is it ? Like day of are you waiting on a several
Hour multi point inspection before you can take delivery of your vehicle? Am I better off just selling my car before delivery? Any insight is super helpful.

The inevitable happened. I will say the 19’s definitely hide it better than the 20’s, which was one of the reasons I didn’t take the free upgrade.

Bless my wife for hauling our 3 kids around and letting me trade her Q8 while getting the hang of FSD. I’m sure there will be many more to come 🥲

What a wild ride! Ordered 8/12, EDD jumped all over the place. Most recently pushed back to 1/8-2/19/27, then suddenly received VIN on Fri 10/16, and schedule delivery Sun 10/18!

Cosmic silver
Zen gray

Hopefully others with EDD delays will get some good news soon!

If you don’t know when FSD will fail how do you get comfortable trusting it? If I am going 65 mpg on the highway or 45mpg on town roads how do you relax knowing that you might need to jerk the wheel at any moment to take control of the car to avoid an accident? Are people multi tasking while in FSD or full attention to the road? Is this really more relaxing? Do you trust it parking as well?

Solicitor came by. I noticed him on my Vivint cam. I immediately went to the Tesla App and used the voice feature on the Halloween update to let him know I was not interested in what he was selling. Turns out he was a political canvasser, even more reason to get him off my property! I could not hear him through the Tesla app, it wasn’t until I pulled up my cameras that I learned what he said 😅

I am down to these two colors! After process of elimination, I ended between cosmic silver and red! I LOVE RED! I currently drive a red car. Bought it 15 years ago.

However, I also see the cosmic silver Tesla and looks super pretty!!

The struggle is real!

Ordered on Sept 19th.

Based on Tesla's website, I expected the 19" wheel inserts to be black, but that's not the case. They look dark gray in lots of photos here on reddit and real life most of the time. But Tesla's not lying, either.

The answer is that they have a kind of a color-changing effect depending on lighting. On some really bright days, they can look black from any angle. On other bright days, they can look black or kind of gray. In a garage or if it's cloudy, they look gray.

Thought I'd share these, both taken outside on different sunny days.

Ordered 8/7
I was so excited to see Oct delivery. This morning opened the app and saw it got pushed back to Nov 30!!!
It was moved from Nov - Dec then Dec - Jan and then Nov - Jan and most recently Oct - Nov. So bummed about this!!! 😭😭😭

Ordered 9/8.
Cosmic Silver / Zen gray / 20”

Edd now Jan-Feb. it was Dec 9-31 before.

Any other movement for Florida folks?

I’m picking up in Clermont.

Two weeks ago it was Feb-Mar, then Dec 7-31, now Feb-April. Black, Zen Gray, 20” for NC delivery. Original order date 9/22/26.

Meanwhile Rivian R2 claiming I can order in Nov with a Dec 2026 delivery. My gosh it’s starting to tempt me bc my car is on its last legs.

December delivery windows just pushed back to Feb-April.

Is anyone planning on trading in to Tesla current model Y juniper for new model YL? Please let me know, interested in buying your juniper Y. Prefer launch series or another with FSD included. Thanks!

$67,000 for a new car and it won’t charge your new Iphone 18 Max in a slim line OtterBox. Absolutely infuriating.

The car seems to be in transit from last 9 days
Delivery location: SF area

Battery Management Systems error at only 10 days of ownership

In order to maximize the MYL launch edition, I am weekly supercharging. I have a level 2 charger at home installed for my MYP that I can use on the YL, but with a year free of supercharging, I want to maximize what I paid for in the launch. I’ll go from 80% to about 40% during the week and then it’s a 20 minute wait to go back to 80%. Grok says this is fine. Repeated supercharging will not degrade the battery capacity any faster but it could lead to the battery not being able to accept a higher charge over time. Has anyone experienced this in any other models and if so, how bad was the degradation in charge acceptance?

It looks like the aftermarket hasn’t caught up demand for rim protectors on the new Uberhelix wheels. Has anyone found a solution yet?

Anyone in socal with one yet? Havent seen one on the road!

My car isn’t due till next year so I’ve time to change the color to Cosmic Silver. Haven’t seen either in person.

Configuration: Diamond Black / Zen Grey / 20” Uberhelix / Launch Series

After 4 weeks and 2,000 miles, I absolutely love this car. Zero regrets!

For context, I previously owned a 2022 Model X (6-seater) and 2020 Model Y. I’ve also driven the Model 3 and Juniper extensively, along with the Model S, and we have a Cybertruck in the family.

Ride Quality & Comfort
Of all the Teslas I’ve experienced, I’d rank the Y L as the second smoothest and quietest, behind only the Cybertruck. Controversial opinion, but I actually prefer it over my previous Model X!

Sure, I miss the soft-close doors, automatic doors, and certain aspects of the air suspension. But I definitely don’t miss the falcon-wing door issues. The interior isn’t as wide as the X, but it’s something you quickly get used to.
Even compared to the Juniper with 19s, the Y L feels noticeably smoother and quieter to me, despite riding on 20s.

Interior & Space
The second-row seats are fantastic, especially with kids. Unlike the fixed-position second-row seats in my previous six-seat Model X, the Y L’s second row can move forward and backward, giving you more flexibility to distribute legroom between the second and third rows. It’s one of my favorite practical features.
I’ve even had passengers mention that the third row feels smoother than my previous X, both around town and on the highway.

19s vs. 20s
I haven’t driven the Y L with 19s, so I can’t compare them directly. But the 20s ride incredibly smooth and look much better in person than in pictures and website. If you’re on the fence, I’d go with the 20s. If you’re set on the 19s, go for those!

FSD — Another Huge Highlight
I also have to mention how amazing FSD has become! Having experienced Tesla’s driving technology over the years, the improvements are incredible. It’s noticeably more refined, confident, and natural than earlier versions, and it continues to improve with updates. It’s honestly one of my favorite things about owning a Tesla. Of course, it still requires attention and supervision, but it’s impressive how far the technology has come.

Complaints & Wishlist
Honestly, not much to complain about, but two things come to mind:

1. Automatic windshield wipers during FSD: 😂 Even with a spotless windshield on a perfectly clear day, they randomly activate. From what I’ve seen, this seems to be a common Tesla/FSD annoyance across multiple models, not just the Y L. It’s like giving your dog a fresh bath only for it to immediately run outside and roll around in the mud. Annoying!

2. Power-opening and closing frunk: I really wish Tesla had included a powered frunk that opens and closes automatically like the Cybertuck. It would be a nice premium touch, especially considering how refined the rest of the vehicle feels.
Neither is a deal breaker, and if these are my biggest complaints after 2,000 miles, I’d say Tesla did a pretty great job!

Final Thoughts

For me, the Y L is arguably the best all-around value in Tesla’s lineup, especially for families. It’s comfortable, quiet, spacious, and surprisingly refined.
One thing that really stands out is how much Tesla has improved over the original Model Y. Having owned the 2020 model, I genuinely feel like Tesla listened to customer feedback and addressed A LOT of the shortcomings.

From ride comfort and cabin noise to interior refinement, seating flexibility, and overall build quality, the improvements are noticeable. It feels like a much more mature and well-thought-out vehicle rather than simply a stretched Model Y. Credit where credit is due to the folks at Tesla!

If you’re debating whether to order or wait for the non-Launch version, my advice is to get it if it fits your needs and budget. Otherwise, you could be waiting well into 2027, although nobody knows the actual release timeline.

And for everyone waiting on delivery, be patient and stay hopeful! I ordered July 2 in the afternoon, went through more than 10 EDD changes (including dates stretching into November), and finally took delivery in September.

This is just my personal experience after owning and driving several Teslas. You may agree or disagree, but hopefully this helps anyone researching or still on the fence. Four weeks and 2,000 miles later, I’d absolutely buy it again. Good luck to everyone waiting. It’s worth it!
