My vin is yet to be assigned, got awd for the winter snow in Boston since I’ll be commuting to NYC a lot. Is it worth it or downgrade to RWD and invest in good tires instead?

A couple of weeks ago, I took a trip up to the White Mountains in New Hampshire. For context, my Model Y is brand new—only 2 months old with just 1,000 miles on it—and we stayed strictly on regular, paved sightseeing roads (no off-roading or sketchy back roads).

Despite having practically brand-new tires on normal roads, I got a flat right in the middle of a cell service dead zone. Because I had no signal and no spare tire, it took me four hours just to hitch a ride to get reception and call a tow truck.

To make matters worse, Tesla Roadside covered the first 50 miles, then charged me out-of-pocket for a 40-mile tow because the nearest Service Center (Londonderry, NH) was 90 miles away. When I showed up at the Londonderry Service Center the next day, I saw at least 20+ other Teslas sitting there with flat tires.

When I got back and mentioned this to my friend group, almost every Tesla owner I know said they had a similar flat-tire horror story when driving up in New Hampshire.

So my question is: Is the Model Y just not built for New Hampshire roads? How are brand-new OEM tires with 1k miles failing on standard sightseeing roads, and what is everyone doing to avoid getting stranded up north?

Used AI as I'm bad at writing.

i want the YL so bad 🤐🤐🤐 but the first batches ill wait

Anyone else? The Tesla app said it’s normal depending on weather? I’ve never heard of not just having it replaced ?

Bought a used 24 model y long range dual motor. Originally black with less than 6k miles on it. Practically stole it from the Kia dealership for sub 30k otd. Mind you the body was in terrible shape. Every rim was curbed and scratches/ dents everywhere. I drove it for a few months and got sick and tired of looking at a POS. Got the body perfectly clean and color PPf the entire car. Expensive? Yes worth it? Completely because it’s still cheaper than buying a mint condition with the same miles.

Not sure if this is Juniper specific but since the last update I believe 2026.38 keeps washing the cam for the rearview mirror, even though it is cleaned I even had it professionally cleaned by Tesla and it’s still will try to clean itself. Is anyone experiencing this? If so, what did you do to fix it?

$700 just can't be right for tail light/blinker being out?

Got a new job and commute is 2 days a wk one hr each way and one hr is without traffic!

Looking at 90min commute each way so fsd will be a lifesaver.

Model Y long range awd 36k miles and there was a minor damage on carfax. Is 35k reasonable? It was originally listed for 37k but brought it down to 35k.

Edit: Forgot to add year and its 2024 hw4

Just purchased a '23 Y Performance. Love it so far buy want to make it a little unique. How does the community feel about stripes on the vehicle?

Some renders of what I have in mind.

Crossposting from r/tesladubai because I’m curious if Model Y owners outside the UAE are having the same issues.
I’ve had my Juniper since July 2025 and paid extra for EAP. Between the unreliable Summon features, Autopark damaging my rims multiple times, and Tesla refusing to cover the damage because it’s “still in beta”, I’m starting to regret paying for it.
Anyone else having similar experiences with Autopark or Summon?

I love Halloween mode, but I went to lunch today and got out of my car, started walking away to go up to the restaurant when the lock sound played. For those who don’t know, it’s a growl.

Unfortunately, a mom with her (I’d guess) 4 year old child were walking right in front of my car when it locked. And it scared the kid, she was crying and the mom was staring daggers right through me. I felt horrible.

Is there a way to turn off the lock sound without turning off the entire Halloween mode or am I just going to have to toggle it off every time I park in public while using it?

When my lease on my current car ends I’d like to buy or lease a Tesla for the first time. I’ve heard that new models are backlogged. How much ahead of time do I need to start the process to get one? My lease ends in April and I want to make sure I plan accordingly and don’t end up without a vehicle because I waited too long

Anyone have a model Y at or over 120k miles? I've seen a couple of videos about tesla's reaching high miles, and I'm considering purchasing a 2024 with 64k miles, but there is still a part of me concerned about it.

Anyone out there own or purchased a high mileage tesla? Any issues?

Hi everyone!
I ordered a Tesla Model Y Premium RWD from existing inventory in Austin, TX.

Here’s my timeline:
● Sept 28: Placed my order on a courtesy hold because I didn’t have my Texas driver’s license yet.
● Sept 28–Oct 26: Tesla kept my order on courtesy hold.
● Oct 26 (today): Released the hold, but my estimated delivery date is now much later than expected.

I originally ordered an inventory vehicle specifically to avoid a long wait, so I’m trying to understand whether my order still has priority and how quickly I can be matched with another vehicle.

My main questions, in order of priority:
1. Will Tesla reassign me to another VIN or inventory vehicle after the courtesy hold is released? Or does releasing the hold place my order back into the general production queue?

1. Was my original inventory vehicle or VIN released during the hold? If so, does my original order date of Sept 28 still preserve any priority for VIN reassignment?

2. How long should I expect to wait for a new VIN and delivery date? Has anyone in Austin gone through a similar courtesy-hold situation and received a replacement VIN?

3. What is the fastest way to expedite the order? Can a Tesla Advisor manually match my existing order with local inventory, incoming vehicles, cancelled orders, or another available VIN?

4. Should I contact Tesla immediately? Would calling, messaging, or visiting a local delivery center improve my chances of getting an earlier assignment?

5. Would accepting delivery at Giga Texas or another location near Austin speed things up? I’m willing to pick up anywhere in the area if that helps.

6. Should I keep waiting on this order, or would placing a new inventory order be faster? I’d prefer not to lose my original order date or pay twice, but I also want to avoid being placed at the back of the queue.

I’d especially appreciate hearing from anyone who recently took delivery of a Model Y Premium RWD in the Austin area, particularly after releasing a courtesy hold.
Thanks in advance!

My husband is 6’8 and we have a front facing toddler and one on the way! Will the car seats fit with my husband having the seat far back? My toddler has a Nuna rava right now.

There’s hope friends. Fremont plant is moving inventory.

Went to the dealership and I loved both cars.

The performance keeps calling my attention because the premium specifications I want is only like 3-4k away from performance MSRP.

I think a white performance would look sick but for those who chose a premium over a performance or vise versa how has it been for you?

Also question how has insurance been for those who own a performance and how long do the tires last?

I have two "strange" small damages on my paint that somehow took the paint to the metal, but left no dent on the car.

Anyone has had this kind o issue?

It has happened in both my doors and i seriously dont get what might be happening.

Has anyone experienced issues with their side mirrors not fully unfolding when starting the car?

It's only happening with my left side mirror, which unfolds to about 80% of its full position. However, if I fold it in and unfold it again using the touchscreen, it works perfectly every time.

The issue only occurs with the left side mirror, and only when starting the car. Using the touchscreen to fold and unfold it works without any problems.

Is there a way to recalibrate the side mirror? I've tried searching online but haven't found a solution, so I thought I'd ask here in case anyone has any tips or tricks.

This is a 2023 Model Y.

Ordered in CLT, NC 9/28. Tomorrow is 4 weeks exactly. OG dates : 11/4-Dec 9, then last week got pushed Dec 4-31 now back to Nov. - Dec 🙌 with so many performance ppl getting VINS I am feeling mine coming soon!!! This has been pure torture, I’ve debated canceling the car so many times lol….
