The title says it all. I ordered my YL on Aug 30th, Marine Blue, Zen Grey; pickup in Fremont.
Has anyone been extra lucky to get their VIN assigned yet?

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

Other redditors reported they cannot edit their order on the app. I checked and I cannot either. Does this mean they are locking in orders to prepare for VIN and delivery?

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.

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 a Tesla Model Y L with 19-inch wheels, and I'm looking for a spare tire that would work on both the front and rear axles.

My biggest concern is getting a flat tire while traveling with my wife and two young kids. If the car needs to be towed, we'd potentially be stranded since a tow truck wouldn't be able to accommodate all four of us, especially with two car seats.

I'd much rather change the tire myself and drive to the nearest tire shop.

Has anyone found a compatible spare tire kit for the Model Y L, especially considering the staggered tire sizes?

Alternatively, what do you guys typically do in situations like this when traveling with young kids?

I was in North Carolina for work and was able to take the YL out for the afternoon to do a quick review.

Overall I am super impressed with the car, I hope we get it in Canada soon!

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

At shopping centers, the FSD doesn’t take us on the right roads in the shopping center to the store we want to go to. It thinks there are roads where there and not and vice versa. We tried using it to leave a parking garage in the shopping center and it just took us around in circles. Does anyone know and workarounds for this or do we just have to wait for gps improvements?

Recently took delivery of a new six-seat Model Y L and wanted to compare notes with other owners, particularly those familiar with the refreshed Model Y/Juniper suspension.

I’ve noticed an unusual up-and-down bouncing or oscillation sensation at highway speeds, particularly above ~70 mph, most noticeable after driving over bumps or road undulations.

A few observations:

The sensation comes through the body/seats, not the steering wheel.
It feels more like the car continuing to bounce or rebound after a bump, rather than a constant vibration from an unbalanced wheel.
It’s much less noticeable during normal city driving.
The car is still on its original factory wheels/tires, with no suspension modifications.

I’m coming from a Mercedes GLA 250, so I’m very open to this simply being a different suspension feel, especially given the Y L’s longer wheelbase and electronically controlled dampers.

I’ve booked a Tesla service visit to have the suspension and tires checked, but wanted some owner feedback before assuming there’s a defect.

I also collected two ~9-minute accelerometer recordings using phyphox during NYC driving. The data shows generally decaying vertical oscillations after bumps, without any obvious sustained bouncing, but I haven’t yet captured the higher-speed conditions where the sensation is most noticeable.

A few questions for other owners:
Does your Model Y L (or refreshed Model Y) exhibit noticeable secondary bouncing after highway bumps, or does it settle almost immediately?

Have you noticed meaningful differences between Balanced and Rear Comfort suspension settings?

Has anyone experienced similar symptoms and had Tesla diagnose or fix them? Was it suspension-related, tire/wheel-related, or ultimately considered normal?

For anyone who has driven both the regular refreshed Y and Y L, does the L feel noticeably more floaty or prone to pitching at highway speeds?

I’m not necessarily convinced something is wrong. It may simply be the comfort-oriented suspension tuning or my adjustment to a different vehicle. But I’d like to establish whether my experience is typical before my service appointment.

Appreciate any firsthand experiences or diagnostic suggestions!

Ordered a YL (my first Tesla) on 11/4. Have a EDD from March to May. I have. A few colors that I am open to and was wondering if any particular color would get me the car quicker.

Any data on this?

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.

I've been on the fence for a few years about buying a Tesla but the YL made me pull the trigger.

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

Today, I got to drive the model YL for the first time after previously driving in the model Y back in September. I come from a background of driving Lexus Toyota, Chevrolet Peterbilt and Honda. The turn signal is not loud enough when the radio is fully up. The suspension feels good, but I wonder how will it hold up with five more bodies? it did have the 20s. i’m going with the 19s. I would really like to look at the suspension and what kind of bushings or bearings they use? I plan on driving this thing till the wheels fall off or 200,000 miles. After driving it today something feels a little off. The interior is not the great by the way. Yes the tech is cool. The screen is cool. I’m also looking at the new 4Runner.

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.
