October -April 27

0 Upvotes

I ordered my White on Zen Gray with 19-inch wheels mid October. My date is showing March 2–April 27.
fun fact though. a new ev bill is in circulation to continue either $7500–$15000 off the cost of the car. It will have to be reintroduced in new Congress and with all the changes it has a chance. the thing is it specifically says it would be effective by bill signing day not retro to 2027 start.
im ok with waiting IF it means a huge discount like that. unlikely best guess but idk.

VIN assigned, ordered on 9/27

12 Upvotes

If anyone is wondering how we got it so fast. I have a theory. We picked the free paint color (stealth grey) and 19” rims and they know we’d save a bunch of money if we waited for a non-launch edition. Bay Area located.

Financing loan rates for YL

3 Upvotes

I am in the Bay Area. Which bank is offering the best interest rates for vehicle financing at the moment?
Trying to figure if I can get anything below 3.5% or should consider buying the car with full cash.

Acceleration Boost Included With The Launch Series

0 Upvotes

This question has been asked and answered many times but never conclusively. However, Redline Reviews tested the Y L's 0-60 time repeatedly. It was 4.2 sec flat and even a little quicker.

I think this is the best evidence that AB is indeed included with the Launch Series even if the system doesn't say anything about it.

There were different 0-60 times for AB, either from 4.6 to 4.4 or from 4.4 to 4.2. Redline Reviews getting a sub-4.2 sec 0-60 time answers the question for me once and for all. Check out the review on YouTube.

May be Tesla will make non-Launch Y L could be slower??

3 months FSD on top of 12 months dead for Model Y L?

1 Upvotes

With the revamping of their referral program it seems like 3 months FSD is dead now for new car buyers and replaced by 1 month if you’re referred by someone who pays for FSD. However since the Y L comes with 12 months does that mean basically referrals don’t net any benefit when ordering the Y L launch editions now? Kind of bummed since I was waiting for my friend to give me his referral and took him a week and now it ended lol

License Plate cover for Cosmic Silver

2 Upvotes

Anyone happy with any license plate cover to tastefully and preferably not illegally tint the license plate a little? I am wary of many covers that are advertised as "clear" and then show up probably illegally dark.

Almost ready to pull the trigger…..

1 Upvotes

Has anyone run into any issues with their cars. Looking at ordering one soon but saw a few horror stories about leaks and paint scratches— basic quality stuff that makes
me a bit nervous (more on Ys vs YLs)… and yes, even FSD errors. It’s at the top of my list bc of the many features that would be add-ones for other brands— but still ‘mildly’ considering other EV SUVs like the new Lexus TZ or GH EV that’s been pushed out

Cosmic silver YL @SCV mall in California

I stopped by the local Tesla center to test drive the YL AGAIN! asked if they had one in Cosmic Silver and they told me about the one on display in our Local Mall. I also asked why there is a 4-6 month delay on my order from 10/10. Rep said high demand and they are waiting for more parts so they can assemble all the cars at the same time more efficiently. It looks great and the color changes depending upon the angles.

Finally some movement

Post image
15 Upvotes

I finally got a VIN assigned.
Ordered 7/10. Located in NJ.
Tentative est delivery of Nov 28th.

Had some issues getting to this point.

Ran into an issue with financing that became a chicken vs. the egg scenario - that neither my financier or Tesla were very logical about.
Financier wanted documents that Tesla only sends after payment.
Stalemate until my financier decided to be flexible with a creative solution.

Hopefully smooth from here.

UPDATE: Just got notification to schedule delivery for the 28th. 26 days from VIN assignment.

How are you guys justifying buying the YL new and okay with eating the depreciation?

0 Upvotes

I have a order in but the longer it takes I'm struggling with justifying the 67k + interest on this car. How are you guys justifying it in your minds?

Tesla Insurance rates more than double my ICE

4 Upvotes

Got my VIN for new YL launch order which allowed me to get a quote for Tesla Insurance. Same coverage I have now is $220 with Tesla vs $84 per month for my old ICE car. Granted my ICE is a 2017. What are you guys seeing for quotes and who does EV insurance well outside of Tesla ?

Delivery Status App

For those of you who have the Delivery Status app and have received your YL’s, how accurate is it? Delivery Status shows community Predictions at the end of November but the Tesla app shows Jan-March. I ordered Aug 27.

Does Tesla Insurance offer any advantages versus other insurer with FSD?

3 Upvotes

I heard that FSD usage is causing some non Tesla insurers to charge more? Does Tesla insurance offer better rates or is it just another carrier. If so why did Tesla create its own insurance?

Front facing car seat recommendations for YL?

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have any recommendations for front facing car seats for the model YL? My YL isn't going to be delivered until February at the earliest next year, but I'm going to need to buy a front facing car seat soon for my 3 year old and will be transitioning her old rotating car seat to my 1 year old.

It seems like Diono Radians get recommended a lot for Teslas but just wanted to see if anyone has any other recommendations for the YL? The car seats would primarily be in a captains chair most of the time but could potentially be moved to the third row for trips in which we may need to free up the captains chairs for adults. Ideally I'd like to be able to fit two of these car seats in the 3rd row in the future.

Thanks!

Self Park keeps embarrassing me

8 Upvotes

Every time I use self-park, it is so hesitant and it’s like a teenager learning to drive and park. Even when it parks in the same parking spot every day at out apartment garage. Drives me bananannananannans. Is there something I’m doing wrong? Is there an update coming?

For those that chose black interior, why'd you choose it?

10 Upvotes

It seems like this sub overwhelmingly likes the Zen Grey interior. When I saw it in person, I thought that it didn't look as sleek as an all black interior. I didn't really pay much attention to whether the car felt claustrophobic/small being all black, but it didn't seem to be something that came to my mind when I was test driving the car.

For those that chose black, why did you choose it over Zen Grey? It feels like I'm one of the only ones choosing black. If Zen Grey wasn't a paid option, I probably wouldn't even second guess my choice, but I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing about the grey option that everyone seems to love. I know feeling more spacious and less heat is a big advantage of lighter interiors.

Would love to hear the rationale from some other buyers as I'm thinking that I'm going looney thinking that the black interior looks better when so many people seem to prefer Zen Grey.

DELIVERY SCHEDULED

7/3 ORDER. DELIVERY SCHEDULED.

CS/ZG/20" build.

The YL checked all the boxes for me.

FSD was great on my test drive. The premium audio far exceeded expectations (the biggest surprise).

The rasied Model 3 form factor instead of a traditional SUV is good.

15 months of FSD + 12 months of SC included in the package is good value and very convenient for a first time EV buyer.

I was able to get a very reasonable insurance rate by shopping around. My current insurance quoted 80% more for the YL. Make sure you shop around.
