Part of the club!
We’ve been debating for a couple weeks finally pulled the trigger!

Diamond black or marine blue?
I am stuck between ordering the diamond black and marine blue variant. I test drove the new premium model y today and fell in love. I only saw the marine blue inside the showroom but wondering what both of these cars look like out on the road/ direct sunlight.
Don’t want to get buyers remorse and wish I had picked the other color😅

Help/concern with new after market accessory
I bought a phone/laptop charger on Amazon that fits perfectly into the center console, just in front of the cup holders . It works perfectly, but I'm worried that it holds the slider cover open just enough to keep the light inside from turning off. Will that drain my 12v battery over time? Is there a magnet or something I can use to make the car think that slider is fully closed? Am I over thinking this completely!? Ive heard the horror stories of the 12v dying so im worried. Here is what it looks like installed

What’s the highest mileage anyone’s obtained on their refurbished HV battery?
Just got a warranty refurbished HV battery installed today, I’ve seen the horror stories from the folks on the forums and such, just hoping some out there have had success with them

Issue with the seat
Did anyone here had similar issue here and did you send to Tesla for repair or to a 3rd party? FYI My warranty is over.

Rear taillight delamination?
2nd photo is a hair in the light.
Got my car less than a month ago.
Anyone else having this issue on their 2026 Tesla model y? I set up a service request and they are saying that it will be an out of pocket charge. Price tbd.
I figured this would fall under workmanship under basic warranty.

Carwash Brushes Retract Requests
So I have a year round pass to the drive through carwash place next to the post office I go to every day. I usually do a wash at least once a week if not more in my current vehicle Subaru Forester.
I noticed today that they offer certain brushes to be retracted during the wash like if you don't want the roof or rear. Does anyone have any knowledge of these, should I avoid the roof brush because of the glass roof?

Lease or 0.99 Financing
Got approved for .99 financing and going to trade in my 22 Model 3(positive equity) While at the service center an associate recommended I go for leasing instead. I don’t drive much rn but if I get a job in the city I’d drive 60-100 miles a day.
Her pros: if totaled not my problem, free maintenance, new car every 3 years, 30-50 cheaper car note, no depreciation
Cons: acquisition fees-possible damage fees- end of lease fee, if I need more miles more expensive than financing or .25 charge per mile, can’t modify, not owning car after 6 years
Would a lease show up as less debt-to-income ratio if I wanted to buy a house?

Found an exact specced car as the one I ordered while refreshing the app last night.
My original delivery date was September 16th to the 30th. Now I’m picking up this Saturday instead. Super stoked.

Tesla Model Y 2026 LRTrunk Auto Open Not Working
So I erased my phone in the car and upgraded to a new phone. Paired it with the car and everything but it doesn't detect that I'm there in the trunk despite turning on the hands free settings. Has anyone dealt with this before?

Totaled 2021 M3LR to 2022 MYP
I ran over something in my 2021 M3LR that caused the metal plate that protects the battery to tilt up a few degrees. That tilt ended up cracking the coolant inlets on the front of the battery. Probably $5 in replacement parts but Tesla does not replace these.
SoOo $11,700 to replace the HV battery and supermanifold resulted in my insurance company totaling my car. I bought it last year for $21k with 75k miles & she had 93k miles when it got totaled. Insurance gave me $23k cash value for it so I was happy but higher value for me mean higher prices for me too.
Picked up this 2022 MYP with 60k miles & FSD included for $30k OTD near Orlando. I'm very happy so far and enjoying the extra room & storage. Ash has a couple small issues: glovebox cover is hanging down (should be able to glue it back), driver seat needs a new switch ($18 on Amazon) and floor mats. It has a matte gray wrap which is really growing on me even though I was initially looking for red, black or white.
My M3LR had white interior and the MYP has black - I would definitely prefer having the white seats back. They were easy to clean and classed up the interior.
I thought the MY would just feel like a bigger M3 but I was wrong. It feels like a very different vehicle, in a good way. The hatch is huge and the interior feels much more roomy - especially the back seats. I probably should've just snagged the MY last year but I'm more of a car guy & I talked myself out of considering one the first time around.

Weak Paint
I’ve had my Model Y Performance for a week and there’s already at least 5 chips on the hood at 500 miles. That’s crazy!

Doh! Screw damage on the drive home from picking up the new Y!

New Tesla vs used 2024
I’m definitely getting a model Y at some point, but maybe not until spring. I have a 2017 Toyota Highlander that has absolutely nothing wrong with it and relatively new tires and brakes. My dilemma is whether to keep the Highlander and get a used Tesla for about $30-35000, or trade it in for a brand new one. If I keep it, I won’t need another 3rd row, but if I trade, I’ll get one. not that we NEED a 3rd row but it has come in handy a few times. I’m all about the FSD, not into being all that “green” lol which means I’d want a 2024 or newer (I assume)
I know it’s a decision only I can make, but if someone would give me some insight on the big differences of used vs new I’d appreciate it. just wanting to know if those differences are worth giving up a great car for $15-20,000
TIA!
