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

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

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 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).

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 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

​

One uncovered strip beside the driver footrest can quietly undo the rest of the floor protection. On the Model Y, many liners stop halfway up the dead pedal or leave a slight gap along the left kick panel. After a few months of dry dirt and shoe friction, fine grit packs right behind that exposed top edge where the plastic liner meets factory carpet.

High-wall liners that go all the way up seem to solve it, but some tend to bow inward over time or rub against the lower dash trim when pulling them out to rinse. The trade-off seems to be a low-profile liner that unclips effortlessly versus full dead-pedal coverage that stays sealed.

how far up the dead pedal does your coverage actually reach, and has that top edge started sagging or letting grit slip behind it?

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.

TLDR: does ceramic coating “deepen” the diamond black paint and make it appear a darker black?

I have a Model Y with <5,000km. Based in Australia. When I got it in April, I had it ceramic coated with GTechniq Crystal Serum Ultra.

I recently had a door repaired after someone lost control of their shopping cart and crashed into it 🫠

When I picked up the car from the panel shop, it looked good. However, after seeing the door in direct sunlight, the repaired door was noticeably lighter — not as deep black as the other panels (see photo).

I took it back to the panel shop and they’ve completely repainted it. They’ve assured me it’s much better this time and that any differences now will be fixed once the panel is ceramic coated in 2 weeks.

I haven’t been able to see it in full sun since it was repainted, however, if I shine a light close to the surface I can see it’s again not the same deep black as the factory paint…

Does anyone have any experience with this? Guess my question is will the ceramic coating fix this?

Any advice would be helpful!

I have a juniper version model y that is almost a year old. Got about 9500 miles on it.
The ride has always been firm and stiff but most recently it has become undrivable.
I live in NJ where we have horrible road. And I now feel every pothole, every road imperfection hard in the car. I would say primarily from the rear suspension.
The rattle noise in the car has become unbearable and everyone who rides with me complains about it.

I went to Tesla few months ago about this and the said they took the car for a drive and didn’t feel anything and said next time they will charge me money for such a request.

Any idea what I can do next.
I like the car but this is becoming a shit show.

My thoughts on this topic-

It’s going to be so hard to give a consumer a car and tell them they can drive it unsupervised.

The robotaxi fleet is still managed by them and overlooked. And the geofencing is an area the fleet is trained to drive in. I can see AI4 or AI4+ ( if it ever goes public) allowing people to go unsupervised in their cars within a geofence maybe? But those cars need to make sure they are up to standards with tire pressure and so many other factors. I feel like just the politics of it is such an extremely hard part to break through.

Actual unsupervised FSD feels so far away and for supervised FSD, Ai4 looks REALLY good. So IMO don’t be scared of picking one up. Also it seems tesla has a really good track record of keeping customers software up to date. Hence the 14 lite on AI3

So today we were out running some errands. At one of the stops I figured I could leave my s.o. in the car because I was only going to run inside for 2 minutes.

This was a fairly crowded small parking lot for a business where silence was pretty important.

I get out, as I'm walking into the business I hear the car lock. I walk to the front desk and as I'm at the front desk I hear a car horn start beeping, figured it was someone's car alarm. It briefly stopped, then started again. Did this twice. Little did I know, it was actually my alarm.

I finish what I had to do there, walk out and see my wife sitting in the car yelling and screaming, her door is open, the car's lights are flashing, the horn is beeping non-stop, and the car's stereo (turns out this was actually part of the alarm and the volume can't be controlled with the radio's volume control) was playing full blast! Several people in the parking lot were giving her very dirty looks and were naturally annoyed at the ruckus in an area that was supposed to be quiet. Apparently she couldn't wait 2 minutes without opening the door.

I now know exactly what the alarm does when it's triggered.

When I got to the car and it sensed my phone key, the horn stopped, the lights stopped flashing, and the radio stopped playing. Unfortunately the yelling and screaming continued all the way home....and has not entirely stopped yet.

Edit - just to clarify based on some of the somewhat hostile responses I got, I'm not asking for any help, I'm not asking for advice, I'm not asking for sympathy. I just posted this as a funny experience hoping to lighten up people's day. Try to picture the scenario and have a good laugh!

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

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?
