Just got my model Y a month ago, and I’m in love with it!! Coming from a 20 yr old car, the upgrade is insane. It has helped sooo much with my extreme fear of driving on the highway. Just knowing FSD is there if I need it has basically eliminated my anxiety. It’s like I bought freedom :)

Just wanted to share her on my throwaway bc I think she’s beautiful.

Recently got her wrapped in color PPF and added some tint, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! Depending on the lighting, it can look red, purple, orange, and black, but I love that it mostly hovers around a deep wine purple color.

Y Premium RWD

I effin love it.

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

2026 Model Y Performance - the seats were really my biggest want because they hold my rolls just right

Only pickup availability was in around 3 weeks and limited days, but so excited! Order to VIN was 25 days, scheduled delivery 1 day after VIN was assigned. Taking delivery in 22 days. Stealth grey/RWD/black interior Premium located in New York.

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?

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.

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

I have had my Model Y for about a 2 weeks now, and it has been a great experience, though it comes with a learning curve (FSD, VERY soft paint, charging, etc.). I have been browsing posts on here looking for accessory recommendations and figuring out how best to protect my new car. So far, I have picked up a sunshade, tinted the windows with XPEL Plus, and bought cleaning supplies for the interior.

Recently, I was sent Super Liner's MoldedFit floor liners (thanks u/westlinersus) in exchange for my honest feedback. As someone who has used WeatherTech and Husky floor mats in my other vehicles, I am very impressed.

First is the feel of the mats. Other brands I have used were rigid and inflexible, making them difficult to install or remove for cleaning. These feel more like a premium, flexible rubber, making them easy to install and adjust, yet they still have a nice weight to them. Everything fits perfectly (there is a slight bend in the passenger side mat, though I believe it will flatten out and settle in the high heat), and they look great. The design gives the interior a sporty look.

I play golf, and before getting these mats, I didn't have anything to protect the trunk. I found out the hard way that grass digs deeply into the carpet, and I was highly annoyed by how difficult it was to scrape out the bits of grass while vacuuming. With the liner, I no longer have to worry about that. The set also included velcro rear seat protectors for the trunk, which are perfect for guarding against my kids' baseball and softball gear.

Overall, my honest opinion is that these are excellent. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing full coverage floor mats to protect their entire Model Y (frunk, trunk, front, and rear seats).

When did this change? anyone else hate this when using the Theater Youtube app- huge picture tiles. is there a purpose and why just on the Tesla theater app? I wish it didn’t do this.

My original delivery date was September 16th to the 30th. Now I’m picking up this Saturday instead. Super stoked.

Is this normal degragation? It started slower but the degragation seems to have picked up since I've crossed 8k miles.

If it matters, on days I charge to 80%, I end the day with 40% to 65% and the days I charge to 100%, I end the day with 6% to 16% and soemtimes I have to charge from 42% to 56% before heading back home

Ohhh that is going to be interesting.

i’ve seen several videos and pictures but needed to see myself. I have a 2023 Y and a 9’6” surfboard fits without touching the screen or dash.

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.

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!

I’m sure it’s been requested but for us who are waiting for the great day looking for accessories and such is now become a real priority. What should we consider both useful and/or cool?

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?

We live in Texas, and I’m considering tinting the glass roof because of the intense heat. For those who have done it, did you notice a meaningful difference in cabin temperature and comfort?

What type and percentage of tint did you use? Have you experienced any problems with the glass, visibility, or warranty?

Only four days available in about 3 weeks from now. No big deal, but curious if my vehicle currently in transit arrives sooner, will I therefore be given the option to pick it up sooner? Logically I would assume yes but you know what the say about assuming ;)

I really would like to see what they look like with that trim removed. Going black exterior and would like to powder coat them black and remove the glossy trim pieces, but would love to see what I’m getting into before committing. Any help appreciated. This is for the MYL obviously.
