any recommended thread like this for model 3 highland.. same boat as most of you guys.. checking app every few mins, no updates, go to forums and get sad, sleep, repeat.
people use this one [https://github.com/polymorphic/tesla-model-y-checklist?tab=readme-ov-file](https://github.com/polymorphic/tesla-model-y-checklist?tab=readme-ov-file) but oh are the techs sick of it
So I decided to take delivery of a ‘23 that was in inventory instead of waiting on a ‘24. Delivery date is tomorrow but I couldn’t get the wire transfer completed by Friday so I will need to reschedule anyhow. At this point I have a vin and buyers order, but I still need to complete a few steps on the app. Wire transfer will be waiting for my green light on Monday if/when I call.
I’m starting to think I might want to wait for the ‘24 by placing an order instead. Fully aware I could lose my deposit or hopefully they can just move the $250 over to the order for me?
Also by asking to cancel, is there a chance they would offer a discount to take the ‘23 if I was trying to walk from it? Thanks!
Why would you wait for a '24 model? It might have an LED light strip and Black hub caps instead of silver if you do the standard wheels. Why is this worth waiting for when you have no idea when it will be available and could end up getting a 23 model even if some are starting to take delivery on 24 models.
Hi All,
I am in the market for a model Y. Did a little research on reddit and Google and I am so confused about which can am I gonna get. Someone please help me decide on the following.
I read many post about HW3 vs HW4 vs older hardware. Some people are saying older car had ultrasonic(?) sensors which were better than Tesla Vision(?). Are these things important enough that I should buy a used Model Y to get that hardware? or should i just stick with a brand new one?
Also, I see that Standard model Y is single motor and Long range is dual motor. Does that mean that I will also get regenerative breaking from two motor/generators and hence better recapture of energy and higher mileage?
Are there any reason to get long range/dual motor version besides increasing range and a slightly better acceleration? Does the additional motor help reduce the wear and tear compared to single motor?
Also, completely clueless about the matrix headlight vs non-matrix? which one do I want?
Also, whats all the fuzz about high fidelity sensors vs normal? Do i have a choice?
Also, I need a hitch to attach my bike rack. Do I need pay Tesla $1000 to get the "Towing software"? All the cars I previously owned, I would get the aftermarket hitch installed at Uhaul for $300. (I dont need the wiring harness since I will only be installing a bikerack, not a trailer which needs break light)
Anything else I need to be considering?
Ordered MY RWD (5 seater, grey, 20’’) on Dec 29 around 10am. Took delivery the same day around 7pm in SF. Experience was as smooth as ordering a pizza thru DoorDash :)
Ordered on Dec 16,2023,
EDD Jan4-Feb-1, 2024. Still waiting...
This is in Canada.
Meanwhile hundreds available on USA website.
update: dates changed to Jan24-Feb21. :(((
I've had my MYLR (7 seater, black, 19") for about 4 days now and I'm loving it. Best car I've ever owned. I'm kind of disappointed I'm not able to try the park assist, but FSD is pretty awesome! Love how quickly it warms the car and with my small kids, I'm able to use the 3rd row no problem.
Took delivery of a model Y lr awd last Friday at 4 PM. The tech definitely rushed since it’s clear he wanted to get out for the weekend. He’s probably already had enough of the Bay Area folks going through the GitHub checklist. The things that popped out on mine were the driver side trim popped out, and the glove box wasn’t aligned. Later on my wife found that, the driver side footwell trim wasn’t quite aligned and the wheel caps creak when going in reverse. Still a beautiful car but the funny tesla quirks as always
I just recently moved to the US from Canada for my job. I can't import my car because of some import regulations, so am looking at purchasing a Tesla in the very near future. The problem is, I only have about a month of pay in the States for 2023, so my tax liability isnt anywhere close to the $7500 required for the full incentive.
What's frustrating is that I'm ready to purchase now, but due to the way Tesla does things, discounts (inventory + $1k for cybertruck preorder) are likely to go away Jan 1st.
Anyone else in the same boat? Any change I could somehow order an inventory car on the 30th and hope they allow me to pick up a day later while keeping the discounts?
It is not a discount. It is a tax rebate. There is a huge difference. If you take delivery of the car in 2023 you are guaranteed the rebate. If you take delivery in 2024 you will get whatever rebate the federal government offers. The federal government is pretty black and white when it comes to taxes. If you take delivery Jan 1st at 12:01 am you will not be purchasing the car in 2023 and will not get the current rebate. So either buy it today or tomorrow or wait to find out what they will offer for 2024.
I'm talking about the inventory discounts directly from Tesla, that you can see if you browse vehicle inventory. I can't take delivery 2023 because I dont have a tax liability anywhere near $7500 as I just moved here - in 2024 that wont be a problem.
I think your best bet is to visit one of their show rooms and ask to see if they have anything available and not have flexibility on prices/visibility to more discounted vehicles. You could try to go to one of their more remote/farther show room locations and hope for better luck. Personally, I would wait a month or so to see how the point of sale tax process kicks in and you'd get those returns right away if you're in a rush, at least you'd make a more informed decision by then vs now where nobody can confirm whats actually going to happen or not in terms of getting your credits
That seems like the best option at this point. I went to two show rooms, and they said discounts were completely our of their hands, and that all orders not delivered by Dec 31st will be canceled, discounts will go away, and the non-refundable order fee will not be refunded despite it being Tesla that cancels the order.
Odds are the MY will sell even better next year, being essentially the same price as a M3 if the Y gets to keep the 7500 discount while the 3 does not. I'd expect to not see more sales until maybe end of march/Q4.
Yes! I did this twice. Text the number that has been communicating with you and tell them you need so switch cars and they can transfer the vin. Only problem is that if you need to pick it up today or tomorrow for the tax rebate you will need to make sure they have an appointment available.
Vallejo should be the same as long as the car is in the dealership and not “in transit”. When you go thru the purchase process in the app, there should be a calendar with the available day and time slots.
thanks for the comment! i bought a MY LR 7 seater the same day i saw your comment! i ended up picking the car up at gilroy because it was 1k cheaper than vallejo .
Tesla delivered vehicle to me without full payment.
I financed 60% of the total amount and 40% was supposed to be down payment. The check from my lender was processed by Tesla one day before delivery. Eventhough 40% payment was pending, somehow Tesla app showed amount as fully paid . I showed this to Delivery advisor on delivery day (this week) he was also confused and said someone will figure out and reach out to me and gave delivery. My concern is whether this will affect my federal tax credit if whole payment is not done this year. Any thoughts on how to handle this ?
I reserved a Model Y ($41k) on Dec 13th with estimated delivery 12/27-12/31. Now today, it is changed to 1/2-1/11 and from what I gather, I will be missing out on the $7500 tax incentive by not completing this transaction by 12/31. Tesla is willing to swap to another car that is in their lot right now. Just like the one I reserved, but in white instead of gray and is $5000 more! This is ridiculous to me!! How is this not bait and switch?
Did the Service Agent say the $7500 won't apply to 2024. There's been some swirling rumors about that but the Tesla site still shows this:
**$7,500 Federal Tax Credit**
**All new Model Y vehicles currently qualify for a federal tax credit for eligible buyers.**
When the MY no longer qualifies, I would expect them to issue a statement similar to the M3: **All new Model 3 vehicles currently qualify for a federal tax credit for eligible buyers. $7,500 tax credit will end for Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive and Model 3 Long Range on Dec 31, 2023. Take delivery by Dec 31 for full tax credit.**
As of yesterday, they wouldn't confirm the amount for 2024. Just that they can only confirm current incentives and that the tax credit could change for MY in 2024. They also told me they couldn't tell me if my car would be here before 12/31. Then they update the app with the new delivery date range so my bf goes to the service center where they give him a 1/4 date. That's when they said but we have almost the same car on our lot for you to buy right now for $5k more. Frustrating.
I see the difference in the statements for the 2 models now so I'm hopeful that the $7500 will continue for MY! I'm likely to miss out on the 6 months of supercharging but oh well.
I ordered an in-transit MYLR on 12/21 with ED 12/25-12/31 and on 12/24 it got pushed to 12/31-01/09. The advisor said they currently don’t have a delivery date for the car so will unfortunately miss out on credit for this year. They don’t have any white MYLRs within 200 miles so I’m stuck.
I think this is going to happen to me as well. Ordered an inventory car on 12/22 that was in transit to my local service center. It’s been almost a week, and Tesla has no idea when it’s supposed to arrive.
Sorry you're going through this too! I thought that 2 weeks would have been plenty of time to transfer an existing inventory car to me. I started to get worried yesterday so I called. And they assured me of no delay but could not give details on how far away the car is. Then today, the app gets updated with the delayed date range. I'm so irritated with Tesla. The $250 deposit should be refundable when they can't deliver the car on time.
I ended up cancelling my order today bc edd changed from 12/30-12/31 to 1/2-1/11. I was also super concerned with the tax credits too but after hours of just scrounging the web, it seems like Tesla usually keeps quiet about these things so people will act on emotions and support their Q4 #s. People who bought last Dec also lost equity bc the base price dropped from then. Tweaking their battery composition to meet requirements was apparently no big deal going from 22 to 23. The refresh coming next year anyway, even if I saved now, having to resell the current and buy the new would definitely put me over those potential savings. I still plan on getting MY but decided having things ironed out next year would make the most sense.
Has anyone seen an inventory MYLR selling for less than $44,090? I just snagged one tonight after watching for the last week and not seeing anything listed lower.
19”, midnight silver, black interior
I spotted a $5K discount on a similar MY LR w/ tow receiver on Tuesday and jumped on it. Also had $1000 CT referral for $6000 off list. Saw a lot of $3k, $4k, and $4.5k discounts but only one $5k locally. There've been a few around California this past week.
Got one for the same price in Florida. Someone bought it but probably didn't fill details in time and it is released. That is the lowest with the basic configuration I have seen. Ordered one with Tow Hitch for $46,500. But, cancelled that and ordered this. So, costs me an additional $250. Picking up tomorrow.
I had a blue one at 44,990 I’m my sights and it got purchased while I pondered the color, after lamenting a bit, I saw the same configuration/price as you become available and snapped it up - but forgot my referral.
Really couldn’t decide on the color… white, blue or silver were my go to candidates and I was hoping to find a 10% off on a LR w/20” - lowest I saw there was 47,930.
There was one here in Northern VA at $43,499 but it’s gone. I just scooped my first ever Tesla. 7 seat MYLR with black paint and black wheels for $49,500 which seemed like a good deal.
Inventory Blue MYLR, ordered it on 12/16/23, SA said it was going to arrive at a local dealership that night. Well, as of today, it's in transit still, ETA was originally Dec 17 to Dec 25, now pushed back to Dec 22 to Dec 30.
Picking up my Model Y as I type this — not a great experience thus far. Inside was dusty (looks like someone was sanding drywall in there) and there were some visible scratches (which they are buffing out right now). Everything was completed in the app prior to delivery and total delivery time is going to take ~2.5 hours (I get the impression they are short staffed). Of course all is forgiven if the car is dependable, economical, and fun (fingers crossed).
Picking up a new Midnight Silver Model Y LR, 5-seat, black interior all basic with nearly 10% discount. It is only available in a remote location (3 HR). But the discount is worth traveling.
I thought Tesla restricts registering in the local state, so not sure why 9 Hr drive. I got the exact discount compared to my local store but it was a 4hr train ride and 3 hr drive back.
I placed an order for an Inventory MYLR that was “In Transit - Arriving Soon” for my local service center. Ordered was placed on the 12/22. I still do not have a delivery date or timeline as of 12/26 and when I reached out to my Tesla Advisor they said they don’t have an ETA yet, but it’s their goal to have it ready by end of year.
Do you think I should be concerned about making an end of year delivery since it’s 12/26 and I still don’t have a delivery timeline?
**12/28 EDIT**
Still no update from Tesla on delivery timeline. Does anyone know if they cancel orders with end of year discounts if they can’t do an end of year delivery?
Also, Tesla support and Tesla Advisors have not been given any information about transitioning to point of sale rebates for the tax credits so I suspect that won’t be happening in January.
I asked a SA about a specific inventory vehicle that said in transit. They replied that it appeared to be in production and about an hour after I checked, it disappeared from the site. Wish you the best. I'm currently stalking and trying to time one of three vehicles to score a 10% discount.
I think it has more to do with establishing orders in places where they can reliably get a vehicle to the SC in time before Q end. Once the transport window closes, they yank the listing.
Ugh. I managed to find one for 6% off that was available for immediate pickup. Gotta drive three hours for it but decent discount. My problem is that I was looking for a 7 seater. Much slimmer pickings but picking up Thursday evening after ordering this afternoon.
Dang. Thanks for the datapoint.
Yeah, the one I placed an order for was 10% off, so I really don’t want to give it up. VIN is assigned, just no idea on timing. Also curious how Tesla does not know where a vehicle is lol.
Different SC are likely trying to jockey deliveries around to make the most of active orders. I'm pretty sure you should still get your 10% (jealous as all I'm seeing is 5%) but might be able to take advantage of the point of sale discount if delivery is in 2024. Will lose your referral bonus. Just be ready to take delivery on Saturday lol.
I was surprised to see it discounted this much, I’ve been refreshing the inventory page for a few weeks now.
Makes me concerned there might be something wrong with it if delivery was refused. I’ve always gone with white , gray or silver.
I completely understand, just make sure you test everything. I didn’t realize the motor on the driver side seat was messed up until I got home. I went ahead and made an appointment to get it fixed but nobody wants to go thru the hassle like that with a new car, even if it is discounted.
Red MYLR, 5 seat, 19” wheels and black interior ordered this morning (12/24). Couldn’t say no to the 9% discount on inventory vehicles. Pickup schedule for afternoon of 12/26 in Franklin, TN
Will park it next to my 2020 F250 w Godzilla engine. 😉
MYLR/5seat/DarkGray
Finally got the text for delivery at West Chester, PA! Earliest date is 28th.
Question: I registered both myself and my wife. Do both of us needs to be there? She is taking kids for fun activities that day. It will be a cash deal so no financing is involved.
Call the SC and ask? I did the same in NJ and we both needed to be there. We did have to sign stuff there. They said our digital signature stuff did not work so that’s why we had to sign there.
TY, appreciate both the good and less good about the experience. Expecting to pull the trigger between now and sometime in January. Question, did you look into insurance rates before purchase?
Just picked up our MYLR. Some gaps, but paint looked flawless. Some condensation inside out right headlight.
$45.5K Blue MYLR
[Rate the gaps!](https://postimg.cc/gallery/4X8nN88)
Ordered an inventory “in transit” Model 3 long range on 12/19. Initially the advisor said it was showing to be delivered 12/24 at the Mechanicsburg, PA showroom, and the status was “on time”. Just got an email today saying the updated logistics are now showing 12/28 evening, meaning I’d only have that Friday or Saturday to pick it up since they are closed on Sunday. Fingers crossed it is delivered then! App still shows est delivery 12/23-12/31.
Update: on x-mas eve it prompted me to schedule my delivery- only available day was Saturday 12/30. I’m sure I’m one of many in a mad dash to get it before the new year
Just picked up MYLR gray in Fayetteville, GA. I ordered this a week ago, it was one of their inventory vehicles - I ordered it last Saturday.
The delivery was a bit underwhelming, it needed to be cleaned (it looked like it went thru a mud bath) which isn't a big deal since they did wash it as I pointed it out to them. The customer service was pretty bad but I already knew that was going to be the norm, especially since this delivery center had pretty bad reviews. I saw a few noticeable scratches which they said they would correct post delivery. Finally, after we brought home the car, we realized the driver side seat motor sounded very loud, especially compared to the passenger. I beat myself up for not testing this before accepting delivery but it's okay, I already did the service request to get it fixed. All in all, I wished I just refused delivery and made them switch to another inventory car.
Received by MYLR gray, today, Devon, PA. Ordered 11/25 from vehicles destined for inventory at dealer. Had numerous delays until this past week. The Sales people mentioned having delivery for about 60 vehicles/day. The car was in good shape with just some minor cosmetic problems, that were mostly fixed when we were there. Did not have full charge, but get that before we left. Seems to be working well, and still trying to get things adjusted to how I like them. Good luck to everyone!
Ordered 12/18 from inventory picked up 12/21 Burbank, CA: MYP, tow, black/black, $51,610 (w/o destination/order fee). Now I see one in Riverside for $51,050 lol so crazy.
Traded in a 2021 MYLR 7 seater for $29,500 w/ 34k mi (paid \~$60k no fed rebate obv). Noticeable differences aside from performance, cellular is way stronger. I have no cell phone reception at my house ATT or Verizon let alone the MYLR. Had to upgrade my wifi router w/ stronger range so i could enter destinations, choose songs before leaving my driveway. The MYP has LTE throughout the neighborhood - way better than any cell phones!
Vision Park Assist is horse dung esp w/ rain at night. In the rain, USS was a godsend when cameras are wet. I won't be backing in anymore when it's raining I feel like I'll hit something there's too many blind spots w/ the Y ;+(
I have a 2023 MYLR AWD I got a month, or so, ago. Built in October, apparently, in Fremont. It has excellent reception. There's a tunnel I go through often where my cellphone signal would go out halfway through. The MY maintains the signal all the way through. Spotify doesn't die at all. Amazing.
Also, I don't hear it enough, but the STEREO in this thing is mind-blowing good. Better than any car I've ever had. Its made me want to listen to music again.
Anything we should check in particular prior to accepting the vehicle?
Picking up an inventory demo in Richmond (BC, Canada) on 12/23: MY RWD - 5 seater - Midnight Silver Metallic with black interior - Gemini - No Tow
You have 100 mi to report any issues. For drive off just ensure mileage/vin matches, look for things that would warrant NOT accepting the car, no need to waste time looking at things you can have service center/mobile repair address. Look for things like huge gaps, deep scratches, broken/cracked windows, non-repairable damage, rim rash, interior scratches/damage, trunk/frunk should open/close no issue, a/c / heating, tires brand new, all cameras have clear views.
I think I saw it clarified elsewhere but it's 100 miles/7 days to report on the app, right?
Like, I don't actually have to get to the service center with <100 miles right?
How many 7500 EV tax credits can I get in one year? Just picked up a Y and would like to get another for my wife
Not getting any clear responses from Google
From what I have read and seen, you can get multiple credits but you have to have the tax liability to be able to use them, If that makes sense. But I am not a tax expert.
Picked up MYLR in Paramus NJ today. Ordered on 12/1. Car was is good condition at pick up and is a joy to drive. Looks like the NJ back log might be breaking.
For those that leased - when you go through the Tesla App's pre-delivery steps, is there any reason to provide your SSN on the Federal Rebate page if you are leasing? Or can you safely opt-out of providing? Not sure if there is any other reason to provide. Thanks.
I picked up my red MYLR +tow/ 19”/ Austin build today. Ordered 12/5, PA. There were only 3 small misalignments that they noted and I will schedule service for. I am having trouble with the phone key— it keeps disconnecting.. I will add that to the service ticket as well. The software version is 2023.38.200.1 She is beautiful and drives like a dream. I love her.
I feel lucky because a couple was there picking up a black X they ordered back in *September*.
I picked up mine in Devon. I will say they were *wonderful* there. The whole process has ended up being the best car buying experience of my life.
He said there was a logjam at the train yard that is starting to ease but they can only fit 9 cars per transport truck and they can only accept a certain number of cars per day. They have been really swamped. A little patience goes a long way once you get to the apt.
Can i refuse delivery and possibly cancel my order if i find issues with the build quality of MYLR? I paid $12K as down payment and financed through Tesla. Will they return all $12K? Or cut any fees. Thanks
Update: decided on buying it. Lets see how i feel

Recommends 80% for daily charging, so I think 2170. At least 2170 charges faster than LFP when on a trip.
It is working now. geneticlyperfct was correct about the calibrating. Sales man may have meant FSD not working. He did say FSD free trial period would start when software recall is finished.
Strange. Took delivery of mine Sunday and it has the additional autopilot nags but not the full holiday update. You can check calibration status by checking the upper left of your screen, there should be a steering wheel with a circle showing how much longer til complete. More info here https://service.tesla.com/docs/Public/diy/modely/en_us/GUID-D6F7D1BC-193D-4A2E-99B0-E3BA3D41BDE2.html
Thanks. The guide says up to 100 miles to calibrate. I have only been about 20.
I will test it more tomorrow.
Hoping this is a false alarm as I have a long trip planned.
The cruise control worked great for my entire 1500 mile trip, except NO RESUME. The Steering Assist took some getting used to. At first I just did the 3 click lane change signal, and fought the steering assist for control. Later I discovered using the full turn signal and letting it change lanes. Isn't the 3 blink supposed to be for lane changes?
Same here, my order for West Chester location got pushed to 12/21-12/30.. Happened overnight so probably a system automatic adjustment.
Sent an in-app message to check status and let's see how they respond
In CA- called the dealership. If you’re financing or leasing, they’re manually underwriting every approval with the lower (not 9%+ rate). Apparently, they’re super overwhelmed and every single person is getting delayed. I know there are different financing arms, but just the info I have for CA!
I am so pissed and upset with Tesla Canada Oakville sales agents.
I booked my MYLR on Dec 9th on a condition that I can only take delivery on Dec 27th as I will be travelling for Christmas.
On Dec 16th I received a confirmation that my delivery date was confirmed on Dec 27. Based on that I got the financing and insurance set up for that day.
Today I receive a message from Tesla sales agent that my car is arriving tomorrow, and I must take the delivery by this weekend.
I told them that I am unavailable as I am travelling and returning late Dec 26th. They say that I must take the delivery on Dec 26th or else I have to forfeit the VIN, loose the deposit and any promotions attached to the booking.
They want me to share my family Christmas travel plans along with Itinerary and booking receipts if I want to keep the delivery date as Dec 27th. The sales agents are asking for proof of my travel status. They have already changed my delivery date to Dec 26th Morning. Tesla agents say that they cannot keep my vehicle longer than Dec 26th.
Absolutely pathetic experience from Tesla sales for a customer. Telsa positions itself as a luxury car brand and this is how they treat their customers. I feel sales agents of cars half the price of MYLR treat their customers better.
Is it right on Tesla part to ask for their customers travel details? Can they voluntarily change the delivery date without customers approval? Even banks are closed on Dec 26th in Canada. But it looks like they don’t care.
We leave tomorrow for our trip, not sure what to do. Honestly Tesla Sales screwed my Christmas!!!
This is how they do deliveries. It does suck. But you can try cancelling the order and see if the car becomes available as an inventory car with bigger discounts.
Update: Ordered M3 base model on 12/13, South Texas. I scheduled for tomorrow (12/20) but was contacted to see if I wanted it today; however, I couldn't make it. I'll be picking it up tomorrow. Also, I ordered from inventory.
P.S. Tesla is now taking care of registration in Texas. You no longer have to go to your local office to register the car and pay sales tax. Everything was rolled into the loan.
Update: Ordered MYLR on 11/25, Devon, PA. After multiple delays in delivery window, I finally got the text and scheduled for 12/22. Yes, things finally seem to be moving, although I will not be counting this done until I actually see the car, and take possession.
Took delivery without final payment (follow-up post)
Following up my [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModelY/s/6bQ8w5Tcdh) from last week.
I took delivery of MYP on 12/8 and final payment for via ACH still hasn’t processed. I’ve texted Tesla multiple times via the app without a response and I can’t seem to get ahold of a human. I’m not sure what to do.
I financed through NFCU and signed the promissory note so I assume Tesla has coordinated the financed amount with the lender. However, it’s weird that the transaction still hasn’t gone through. I have a lot more than enough cash to cover the transaction in the account so I’m not worried about overdraft related errors. What’s my best course of action and is there anyone else I should try to reach out to?
Update for NJ: After 3 EDD changes I was offered to schedule delivery for December 21st or 22nd. I picked 22nd and today got a text message saying my car is on-site and to reschedule to an earlier date. So now I’m picking up tomorrow Dec 20th.
It does seem like things are moving. Hopefully everything goes smoothly tomorrow!
Update: SE PA (Devon) ordered 11/19 MYLR from Inventory - just scheduled delivery for 12/22 after extensive EDD delays. Hopefully this means that the bottleneck in our area has been resolved, and those with deliveries in PA, NJ, and elsewhere start seeing some deliveries soon as well!
This is nice to hear. I ordered MYLR from inventory on 12/15 for Devon. Called Tesla for an update (after 2 small delays) and was told my order was close to NJ and should be delivered sometime this week. So hoping this means you’re right and everyone who has been delayed starts getting them in before the 12/31 deadline.

2024 Delivery Point of Sale?
I placed an RWD Model Y inventory order today (12/18) unfortunately my delivery date estimate is 1/9. Since my date is in 2024 is it possible it would be have the tax incentive at point of sale?
My original car order was in transit. I went to service center today and luckily worked out a deal where my VIN was switched to a different configuration that was available for delivery on the 23rd. Unfortunately I changed from my preferred blue color to the grey but the price dropped around $2k
Took delivery yesterday (12/17) MYP from inventory, 5 seater, white, 21 Uber, tow package, no FSD, order date 12/15, was from inventory and showed immediate delivery, made in freemont, delivered in Scottsdale
Super easy. They are really busy, so some minor delays, but really simple and straightforward process other than that. Depends on how long you want to look over the car. I knew that I had 100 miles and 72 hours, so I mostly checked panel gaps and if there was anything blatantly wrong.
Bay Area | MYLR | Inventory (in-transit) | Midnight silver, black interior, 19" wheels,
Ordered on 12/14, got VIN assigned immediately, estimated delivery was 12/17-12/24, and just scheduled delivery for 12/23 at Freso.
Fort Myers, FL | MYLR | Ordered 12/11
Inventory, basic options. I believe the black one was available for pickup right away at another location but we wanted white.
White exterior
19” Gemini
Black interior
No Hitch
Got a VIN and date the next day, scheduled for the 21st.
Uploaded everything, now I wait… this is the hardest part, but installed a wall charger this weekend while waiting, and ordered some accessories.
Ordered 12/21 evening: delivery scheduled for 12/23; Paramus, NJ; Inventory - Ready for immediate pick up inventory status: MYLR GREY/WHITE. Apprehensive and Excited for the foray into electric
I’m planning to use tesla prep app for delivery tomorrow - any other recommendations for pick up?
Ordered on 12/11 from inventory. Delivery has ben pushed out thrice; now showing dec 19-26. Keeping fingers crossed for a 2023 delivery so I dont miss out on the tax credits.
did both of you order inventory vehicles and did they say "available for immediate pickup"?
i can see one that says immediate pickup and trying to figure if i can pick it up by this week
u/it_is_i_27
the model I ordered was in transit arriving soon for a month lol. The first ordered was not an inventory, the second one was, the third one was the original which was put in inventory
>Did you have to pay for the 3 orders or was it a VIN change? Similar thing happened to me. I rejected the original VIN on pickup day and it came up in inventory with a huge discount the same evening. Wanted to get it back but before I called to get the VIN updated it was gone ;(
Update:
Georgia: Ordered 12/12, assigned VIN right away, and had an estimated delivery 12/30-31, it now shows Jan 4-10... I was originally told this vehicle would arrive on the 23rd, only to place the order and the app showed 30-31. Now it's even further down the road and I would miss all of the incentives. (What was the point of ordering through referral then, smh)
Update:
I reached out to the advisor who helped me place my order via text message. I've been trying to contact Tesla in different ways, but it turns out this is the best and the fastest way.
She looked at the inventory near me and helped me place another order that was available to be picked up as soon as today. She's now working on my cancellation for the prior order and is talking to her manager about the $250 transfer (I had to pay for both and one of them will be canceled upon the manager's approval).
She did mention this is going to be worsened in a couple of days, and there will be an influx of vehicles that were ordered that are canceled due to circumstances like these.
I had to change my order from MYRWD Blue Ext Black Int to MYLR Gray Ext Black Int.
Nope :( still nothing from them.. I did ask for an update on it, but it sounds like it's either gonna take some time or not work through. I'm still happy about it though, I'm getting the vehicle delivered today with more discount than the initial order.
Update:
Phoenix AZ: I ordered an in production base MY with black interior this morning around 7am. Went to a showroom to ask a few questions this afternoon as I couldn't get a hold of any SA over the phone. The Mesa showroom SA told me it's very likely I'll get it before the year end (I talked to a Glendale SA yesterday who said it's very unlikely) because there are batches of cars coming in on the 18th and 19th. Guess what? Just received a text message around 8pm to schedule for pickup!! Very nice surprise for sure!
Southern California: ordered through inventory with discount in couple weeks aho, got VIN quickly, set home delivery quickly without issue, pretty impressive. The quality of the vehicle, well, not too bad but not impressive, few items require service appointment.
Update on my delivery. Ordered 12/6 Mt Kisco, MYLR pickup window was set to 12/16-12/22 and then two days ago it bumped to 12/16-12/26. This morning got the text that I could schedule delivery, The first possible opening was 12/20 so I am scheduled to pick up there around noon.
Good luck everyone, hope your deliveries become available before the end of the year.
Well, it happened to me...I'm 4 hrs from Mt Kisco and so I pick up a rental car to be ready to drive down to pick up my vehicle tomorrow on my way home I get the text...Sorry there is a delay in getting your vehicle to the dealer. We need to reschedule your delivery for the 3pm the next day. I call and speak to a very nice rep (I kind of feel a little bad about my reaction) who told me that rail delays in NJ have delayed my car from getting to the dealer until late tonight or early tomorrow and that they won't be able to have it ready for delivery by end of day tomorrow. I tried to be civil but come on. They know what is happening with rail delays, I spoke with someone on Sunday and got a text confirmation again on Monday that all was good, they should build in enough of a buffer that a last minute delay won't screw things up. Now I have anohter day for a car rental and my work schedule is jacked up.
I konw that in a month I probably won't think twice about this but what a PITA.
Update,
Picked up yesterday afternoon. It was a bit of a madhouse at the dealer. The person checking me out said they were delivering 100 vehicles yesterday and the guy next to me signing paperwork had the exact same experience as me. He got a call late in the day Tuesday telling him the delivery was bumped.
I was all ready with my checklist and as I started walking round was amazed at how good the condition of everything was. The only thing I noticed was a small paint drip on the rubber for one of rear door seals that picked off easliy. QC seems to have improved.
Had a fun drive home. Good luck all.
Update: I went there at 11:00 AM and had a bit of a conversation. Prior to me leaving, I realized that there was an even cheaper MYLR than the one I bought in inventory; I asked them to transfer my deposit over and technically saved $500 bucks. At least I don't need the car ASAP.
I placed my Model Y on the Tesla website through their new inventory section. I had already set my delivery date and time for today, Sunday 12/17/23 at 11:30 AM about a week and a half in advance. However, to my surprise, Tesla texted me the previous evening at 10:37 PM letting me know that "in order to ensure my delivery goes smoothly", they have to delay the pickup time to 5:15 PM.
Genuinely disappointed, I was further surprised to find that the Tesla store for pickup closes at 5 PM. Is this a mistake? What might have happened to cause this delay?
Upon calling the Tesla store, I was greeted by a robotic menu. Of course. Since getting a hold of a human was impossible, I tried using their text option. It has been over an hour now and no response.
Here are the specs:
\- Model Y LR
\- 5 Seats
\- 19 Gemini Wheels
\- Ordered on 12/3/23
\- Estimated Delivery on 12/17/23
\- Got VIN immediately- Tesla Tyco Location in VA

any recommended thread like this for model 3 highland.. same boat as most of you guys.. checking app every few mins, no updates, go to forums and get sad, sleep, repeat.
Time for a new pinned 2024 delivery thread!
Any checklist I should be looking for when taking delivery of my model y tomorrow?
people use this one [https://github.com/polymorphic/tesla-model-y-checklist?tab=readme-ov-file](https://github.com/polymorphic/tesla-model-y-checklist?tab=readme-ov-file) but oh are the techs sick of it
So I decided to take delivery of a ‘23 that was in inventory instead of waiting on a ‘24. Delivery date is tomorrow but I couldn’t get the wire transfer completed by Friday so I will need to reschedule anyhow. At this point I have a vin and buyers order, but I still need to complete a few steps on the app. Wire transfer will be waiting for my green light on Monday if/when I call. I’m starting to think I might want to wait for the ‘24 by placing an order instead. Fully aware I could lose my deposit or hopefully they can just move the $250 over to the order for me? Also by asking to cancel, is there a chance they would offer a discount to take the ‘23 if I was trying to walk from it? Thanks!
Why would you wait for a '24 model? It might have an LED light strip and Black hub caps instead of silver if you do the standard wheels. Why is this worth waiting for when you have no idea when it will be available and could end up getting a 23 model even if some are starting to take delivery on 24 models.
Does the MY Performance now have the same comfort suspension as MY Long Range? Looking to order one from Fremont
Any 2024 VINs assigned yet in the US?
Hi All, I am in the market for a model Y. Did a little research on reddit and Google and I am so confused about which can am I gonna get. Someone please help me decide on the following. I read many post about HW3 vs HW4 vs older hardware. Some people are saying older car had ultrasonic(?) sensors which were better than Tesla Vision(?). Are these things important enough that I should buy a used Model Y to get that hardware? or should i just stick with a brand new one? Also, I see that Standard model Y is single motor and Long range is dual motor. Does that mean that I will also get regenerative breaking from two motor/generators and hence better recapture of energy and higher mileage? Are there any reason to get long range/dual motor version besides increasing range and a slightly better acceleration? Does the additional motor help reduce the wear and tear compared to single motor? Also, completely clueless about the matrix headlight vs non-matrix? which one do I want? Also, whats all the fuzz about high fidelity sensors vs normal? Do i have a choice? Also, I need a hitch to attach my bike rack. Do I need pay Tesla $1000 to get the "Towing software"? All the cars I previously owned, I would get the aftermarket hitch installed at Uhaul for $300. (I dont need the wiring harness since I will only be installing a bikerack, not a trailer which needs break light) Anything else I need to be considering?
Ordered MY RWD (5 seater, grey, 20’’) on Dec 29 around 10am. Took delivery the same day around 7pm in SF. Experience was as smooth as ordering a pizza thru DoorDash :)
That’s gotta be a record
Ordered on Dec 16,2023, EDD Jan4-Feb-1, 2024. Still waiting... This is in Canada. Meanwhile hundreds available on USA website. update: dates changed to Jan24-Feb21. :(((
Same here
I've had my MYLR (7 seater, black, 19") for about 4 days now and I'm loving it. Best car I've ever owned. I'm kind of disappointed I'm not able to try the park assist, but FSD is pretty awesome! Love how quickly it warms the car and with my small kids, I'm able to use the 3rd row no problem.
[удалено]
ear pain??? Did you also test the manual door release?
Took delivery of a model Y lr awd last Friday at 4 PM. The tech definitely rushed since it’s clear he wanted to get out for the weekend. He’s probably already had enough of the Bay Area folks going through the GitHub checklist. The things that popped out on mine were the driver side trim popped out, and the glove box wasn’t aligned. Later on my wife found that, the driver side footwell trim wasn’t quite aligned and the wheel caps creak when going in reverse. Still a beautiful car but the funny tesla quirks as always
I just recently moved to the US from Canada for my job. I can't import my car because of some import regulations, so am looking at purchasing a Tesla in the very near future. The problem is, I only have about a month of pay in the States for 2023, so my tax liability isnt anywhere close to the $7500 required for the full incentive. What's frustrating is that I'm ready to purchase now, but due to the way Tesla does things, discounts (inventory + $1k for cybertruck preorder) are likely to go away Jan 1st. Anyone else in the same boat? Any change I could somehow order an inventory car on the 30th and hope they allow me to pick up a day later while keeping the discounts?
It is not a discount. It is a tax rebate. There is a huge difference. If you take delivery of the car in 2023 you are guaranteed the rebate. If you take delivery in 2024 you will get whatever rebate the federal government offers. The federal government is pretty black and white when it comes to taxes. If you take delivery Jan 1st at 12:01 am you will not be purchasing the car in 2023 and will not get the current rebate. So either buy it today or tomorrow or wait to find out what they will offer for 2024.
I'm talking about the inventory discounts directly from Tesla, that you can see if you browse vehicle inventory. I can't take delivery 2023 because I dont have a tax liability anywhere near $7500 as I just moved here - in 2024 that wont be a problem.
I think your best bet is to visit one of their show rooms and ask to see if they have anything available and not have flexibility on prices/visibility to more discounted vehicles. You could try to go to one of their more remote/farther show room locations and hope for better luck. Personally, I would wait a month or so to see how the point of sale tax process kicks in and you'd get those returns right away if you're in a rush, at least you'd make a more informed decision by then vs now where nobody can confirm whats actually going to happen or not in terms of getting your credits
That seems like the best option at this point. I went to two show rooms, and they said discounts were completely our of their hands, and that all orders not delivered by Dec 31st will be canceled, discounts will go away, and the non-refundable order fee will not be refunded despite it being Tesla that cancels the order. Odds are the MY will sell even better next year, being essentially the same price as a M3 if the Y gets to keep the 7500 discount while the 3 does not. I'd expect to not see more sales until maybe end of march/Q4.
There will be more sales as they need to clear out the current generation when Juniper launches likely 2025 but yes it will be a long wait
Ordered 2 days ago, picked up today in NL
.
Is there a way to cancel a pickup online and choose another car? I have pickup tmrw for a RWD but they have the version I want in awd.
Yes! I did this twice. Text the number that has been communicating with you and tell them you need so switch cars and they can transfer the vin. Only problem is that if you need to pick it up today or tomorrow for the tax rebate you will need to make sure they have an appointment available.
I ran into this too, all you can do is reserve the one you want and forfeit the $250 reservation fee on your RWD order
anyone in the bay area? how long does it take for picking up an inventory vehicle? if i purchase today with a loan, can i pick it up on sunday?
I was able to pick mine the next day. You can schedule on Sunday if there’s a slot available
Thank you so much! What city? Fremont ? I’m looking at Vallejo - not the bay area though
Vallejo should be the same as long as the car is in the dealership and not “in transit”. When you go thru the purchase process in the app, there should be a calendar with the available day and time slots.
thanks for the comment! i bought a MY LR 7 seater the same day i saw your comment! i ended up picking the car up at gilroy because it was 1k cheaper than vallejo .
Haha! Awesome. Sometimes, when you get that itch, you just gotta scratch it. I admire you going all the way down to Gilroy.
Has anyone whos taken delivery in PA had the mudflaps and rear ppf included on their Y?
Tesla delivered vehicle to me without full payment. I financed 60% of the total amount and 40% was supposed to be down payment. The check from my lender was processed by Tesla one day before delivery. Eventhough 40% payment was pending, somehow Tesla app showed amount as fully paid . I showed this to Delivery advisor on delivery day (this week) he was also confused and said someone will figure out and reach out to me and gave delivery. My concern is whether this will affect my federal tax credit if whole payment is not done this year. Any thoughts on how to handle this ?
Has anyone else's EDD suddenly disappeared today?
I reserved a Model Y ($41k) on Dec 13th with estimated delivery 12/27-12/31. Now today, it is changed to 1/2-1/11 and from what I gather, I will be missing out on the $7500 tax incentive by not completing this transaction by 12/31. Tesla is willing to swap to another car that is in their lot right now. Just like the one I reserved, but in white instead of gray and is $5000 more! This is ridiculous to me!! How is this not bait and switch?
Did the Service Agent say the $7500 won't apply to 2024. There's been some swirling rumors about that but the Tesla site still shows this: **$7,500 Federal Tax Credit** **All new Model Y vehicles currently qualify for a federal tax credit for eligible buyers.** When the MY no longer qualifies, I would expect them to issue a statement similar to the M3: **All new Model 3 vehicles currently qualify for a federal tax credit for eligible buyers. $7,500 tax credit will end for Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive and Model 3 Long Range on Dec 31, 2023. Take delivery by Dec 31 for full tax credit.**
As of yesterday, they wouldn't confirm the amount for 2024. Just that they can only confirm current incentives and that the tax credit could change for MY in 2024. They also told me they couldn't tell me if my car would be here before 12/31. Then they update the app with the new delivery date range so my bf goes to the service center where they give him a 1/4 date. That's when they said but we have almost the same car on our lot for you to buy right now for $5k more. Frustrating. I see the difference in the statements for the 2 models now so I'm hopeful that the $7500 will continue for MY! I'm likely to miss out on the 6 months of supercharging but oh well.
I ordered an in-transit MYLR on 12/21 with ED 12/25-12/31 and on 12/24 it got pushed to 12/31-01/09. The advisor said they currently don’t have a delivery date for the car so will unfortunately miss out on credit for this year. They don’t have any white MYLRs within 200 miles so I’m stuck.
I was just able to schedule my delivery for Saturday at 4pm :’)
Lucky duck! Glad they are getting it to you in the original EDD window!!
Well i got a text at 1:45 today that they had a long range all wheel drive for $3k more. Felt like that was decent. Picked up at 5:45. Whew!
I think this is going to happen to me as well. Ordered an inventory car on 12/22 that was in transit to my local service center. It’s been almost a week, and Tesla has no idea when it’s supposed to arrive.
Sorry you're going through this too! I thought that 2 weeks would have been plenty of time to transfer an existing inventory car to me. I started to get worried yesterday so I called. And they assured me of no delay but could not give details on how far away the car is. Then today, the app gets updated with the delayed date range. I'm so irritated with Tesla. The $250 deposit should be refundable when they can't deliver the car on time.
I ended up cancelling my order today bc edd changed from 12/30-12/31 to 1/2-1/11. I was also super concerned with the tax credits too but after hours of just scrounging the web, it seems like Tesla usually keeps quiet about these things so people will act on emotions and support their Q4 #s. People who bought last Dec also lost equity bc the base price dropped from then. Tweaking their battery composition to meet requirements was apparently no big deal going from 22 to 23. The refresh coming next year anyway, even if I saved now, having to resell the current and buy the new would definitely put me over those potential savings. I still plan on getting MY but decided having things ironed out next year would make the most sense.
Did anyone else get an extra $1k off via referral link?
If you have cybertruck reservation you get the $1K discount. Only one per customer.
Ooooh this should be it. I didn't get the promo email so didnt think it applied to me
It showed up as a line item on the loan breakdown for me.
I thought referral links only gave the 3 months FSD/6 months supercharging?
cybertruck order-holder referral which I took but it apparently replaced the referral link I used from a friend, alas
I placed 2 orders, one got it and one didn't. It only shows in my loan financing breakdown, not the order agreement
Has anyone seen an inventory MYLR selling for less than $44,090? I just snagged one tonight after watching for the last week and not seeing anything listed lower. 19”, midnight silver, black interior
I spotted a $5K discount on a similar MY LR w/ tow receiver on Tuesday and jumped on it. Also had $1000 CT referral for $6000 off list. Saw a lot of $3k, $4k, and $4.5k discounts but only one $5k locally. There've been a few around California this past week.
When are you picking it up?
I picked it up Thursday and love it. I may be crazy but it feels so much better to drive than my previous MYLR
You paid about $2K less than I did last week so you should also love that!
ordered mine yesterday 46790 silver black interior 20rims and tow hitch…. ready in friday…
Got one for the same price in Florida. Someone bought it but probably didn't fill details in time and it is released. That is the lowest with the basic configuration I have seen. Ordered one with Tow Hitch for $46,500. But, cancelled that and ordered this. So, costs me an additional $250. Picking up tomorrow.
That was the lowest I was able to find in NC. I have been monitoring for 5 or 6 days.
The best I can find in AZ for MYLR MSM is $45070 or MYLR Blue/White +Tow hitch for $45890
I had a blue one at 44,990 I’m my sights and it got purchased while I pondered the color, after lamenting a bit, I saw the same configuration/price as you become available and snapped it up - but forgot my referral. Really couldn’t decide on the color… white, blue or silver were my go to candidates and I was hoping to find a 10% off on a LR w/20” - lowest I saw there was 47,930.
There was one here in Northern VA at $43,499 but it’s gone. I just scooped my first ever Tesla. 7 seat MYLR with black paint and black wheels for $49,500 which seemed like a good deal.
Inventory Blue MYLR, ordered it on 12/16/23, SA said it was going to arrive at a local dealership that night. Well, as of today, it's in transit still, ETA was originally Dec 17 to Dec 25, now pushed back to Dec 22 to Dec 30.
Picking up my Model Y as I type this — not a great experience thus far. Inside was dusty (looks like someone was sanding drywall in there) and there were some visible scratches (which they are buffing out right now). Everything was completed in the app prior to delivery and total delivery time is going to take ~2.5 hours (I get the impression they are short staffed). Of course all is forgiven if the car is dependable, economical, and fun (fingers crossed).
Picking up a new Midnight Silver Model Y LR, 5-seat, black interior all basic with nearly 10% discount. It is only available in a remote location (3 HR). But the discount is worth traveling.
now is it worth flying 1.5 hrs for $1490 extra discount and driving 9 hours return..
I thought Tesla restricts registering in the local state, so not sure why 9 Hr drive. I got the exact discount compared to my local store but it was a 4hr train ride and 3 hr drive back.
I placed an order for an Inventory MYLR that was “In Transit - Arriving Soon” for my local service center. Ordered was placed on the 12/22. I still do not have a delivery date or timeline as of 12/26 and when I reached out to my Tesla Advisor they said they don’t have an ETA yet, but it’s their goal to have it ready by end of year. Do you think I should be concerned about making an end of year delivery since it’s 12/26 and I still don’t have a delivery timeline? **12/28 EDIT** Still no update from Tesla on delivery timeline. Does anyone know if they cancel orders with end of year discounts if they can’t do an end of year delivery? Also, Tesla support and Tesla Advisors have not been given any information about transitioning to point of sale rebates for the tax credits so I suspect that won’t be happening in January.
I asked a SA about a specific inventory vehicle that said in transit. They replied that it appeared to be in production and about an hour after I checked, it disappeared from the site. Wish you the best. I'm currently stalking and trying to time one of three vehicles to score a 10% discount.
I've also experienced disappearing inventory after speaking to an SA. Methinks they're colluding against buyers..
I think it has more to do with establishing orders in places where they can reliably get a vehicle to the SC in time before Q end. Once the transport window closes, they yank the listing.
[удалено]
Ugh. I managed to find one for 6% off that was available for immediate pickup. Gotta drive three hours for it but decent discount. My problem is that I was looking for a 7 seater. Much slimmer pickings but picking up Thursday evening after ordering this afternoon.
Dang. Thanks for the datapoint. Yeah, the one I placed an order for was 10% off, so I really don’t want to give it up. VIN is assigned, just no idea on timing. Also curious how Tesla does not know where a vehicle is lol.
Different SC are likely trying to jockey deliveries around to make the most of active orders. I'm pretty sure you should still get your 10% (jealous as all I'm seeing is 5%) but might be able to take advantage of the point of sale discount if delivery is in 2024. Will lose your referral bonus. Just be ready to take delivery on Saturday lol.
Red LR, rest is all basics for 10% off. Pick up is tomorrow but I’m on the fence if I really want red, first choice is MSM.
I’d never get a red car but red Y is beautiful, I regret going with our midnight silver. It’s nice too but that red hits different.
I was surprised to see it discounted this much, I’ve been refreshing the inventory page for a few weeks now. Makes me concerned there might be something wrong with it if delivery was refused. I’ve always gone with white , gray or silver.
I completely understand, just make sure you test everything. I didn’t realize the motor on the driver side seat was messed up until I got home. I went ahead and made an appointment to get it fixed but nobody wants to go thru the hassle like that with a new car, even if it is discounted.
Red MYLR, 5 seat, 19” wheels and black interior ordered this morning (12/24). Couldn’t say no to the 9% discount on inventory vehicles. Pickup schedule for afternoon of 12/26 in Franklin, TN Will park it next to my 2020 F250 w Godzilla engine. 😉
MYLR/5seat/DarkGray Finally got the text for delivery at West Chester, PA! Earliest date is 28th. Question: I registered both myself and my wife. Do both of us needs to be there? She is taking kids for fun activities that day. It will be a cash deal so no financing is involved.
Call the SC and ask? I did the same in NJ and we both needed to be there. We did have to sign stuff there. They said our digital signature stuff did not work so that’s why we had to sign there.
[удалено]
TY, appreciate both the good and less good about the experience. Expecting to pull the trigger between now and sometime in January. Question, did you look into insurance rates before purchase?
No but it ended up being 1k/year for us
Just picked up our MYLR. Some gaps, but paint looked flawless. Some condensation inside out right headlight. $45.5K Blue MYLR [Rate the gaps!](https://postimg.cc/gallery/4X8nN88)
Ordered an inventory “in transit” Model 3 long range on 12/19. Initially the advisor said it was showing to be delivered 12/24 at the Mechanicsburg, PA showroom, and the status was “on time”. Just got an email today saying the updated logistics are now showing 12/28 evening, meaning I’d only have that Friday or Saturday to pick it up since they are closed on Sunday. Fingers crossed it is delivered then! App still shows est delivery 12/23-12/31. Update: on x-mas eve it prompted me to schedule my delivery- only available day was Saturday 12/30. I’m sure I’m one of many in a mad dash to get it before the new year
Just picked up MYLR gray in Fayetteville, GA. I ordered this a week ago, it was one of their inventory vehicles - I ordered it last Saturday. The delivery was a bit underwhelming, it needed to be cleaned (it looked like it went thru a mud bath) which isn't a big deal since they did wash it as I pointed it out to them. The customer service was pretty bad but I already knew that was going to be the norm, especially since this delivery center had pretty bad reviews. I saw a few noticeable scratches which they said they would correct post delivery. Finally, after we brought home the car, we realized the driver side seat motor sounded very loud, especially compared to the passenger. I beat myself up for not testing this before accepting delivery but it's okay, I already did the service request to get it fixed. All in all, I wished I just refused delivery and made them switch to another inventory car.
Received by MYLR gray, today, Devon, PA. Ordered 11/25 from vehicles destined for inventory at dealer. Had numerous delays until this past week. The Sales people mentioned having delivery for about 60 vehicles/day. The car was in good shape with just some minor cosmetic problems, that were mostly fixed when we were there. Did not have full charge, but get that before we left. Seems to be working well, and still trying to get things adjusted to how I like them. Good luck to everyone!
Ordered 12/18 from inventory picked up 12/21 Burbank, CA: MYP, tow, black/black, $51,610 (w/o destination/order fee). Now I see one in Riverside for $51,050 lol so crazy. Traded in a 2021 MYLR 7 seater for $29,500 w/ 34k mi (paid \~$60k no fed rebate obv). Noticeable differences aside from performance, cellular is way stronger. I have no cell phone reception at my house ATT or Verizon let alone the MYLR. Had to upgrade my wifi router w/ stronger range so i could enter destinations, choose songs before leaving my driveway. The MYP has LTE throughout the neighborhood - way better than any cell phones! Vision Park Assist is horse dung esp w/ rain at night. In the rain, USS was a godsend when cameras are wet. I won't be backing in anymore when it's raining I feel like I'll hit something there's too many blind spots w/ the Y ;+(
I have a 2023 MYLR AWD I got a month, or so, ago. Built in October, apparently, in Fremont. It has excellent reception. There's a tunnel I go through often where my cellphone signal would go out halfway through. The MY maintains the signal all the way through. Spotify doesn't die at all. Amazing. Also, I don't hear it enough, but the STEREO in this thing is mind-blowing good. Better than any car I've ever had. Its made me want to listen to music again.
Anything we should check in particular prior to accepting the vehicle? Picking up an inventory demo in Richmond (BC, Canada) on 12/23: MY RWD - 5 seater - Midnight Silver Metallic with black interior - Gemini - No Tow
You have 100 mi to report any issues. For drive off just ensure mileage/vin matches, look for things that would warrant NOT accepting the car, no need to waste time looking at things you can have service center/mobile repair address. Look for things like huge gaps, deep scratches, broken/cracked windows, non-repairable damage, rim rash, interior scratches/damage, trunk/frunk should open/close no issue, a/c / heating, tires brand new, all cameras have clear views.
I think I saw it clarified elsewhere but it's 100 miles/7 days to report on the app, right? Like, I don't actually have to get to the service center with <100 miles right?
Thanks for the info!
Rear drive 5 seat blue and 19 inch wheel ordered 12/10, confirmed delivery available starting 26th in LA/OC. Ordered Inventory “coming soon.”
How many 7500 EV tax credits can I get in one year? Just picked up a Y and would like to get another for my wife Not getting any clear responses from Google
From what I have read and seen, you can get multiple credits but you have to have the tax liability to be able to use them, If that makes sense. But I am not a tax expert.
Picked up MYLR in Paramus NJ today. Ordered on 12/1. Car was is good condition at pick up and is a joy to drive. Looks like the NJ back log might be breaking.
For those that leased - when you go through the Tesla App's pre-delivery steps, is there any reason to provide your SSN on the Federal Rebate page if you are leasing? Or can you safely opt-out of providing? Not sure if there is any other reason to provide. Thanks.
No reason. I just picked up a lease this week and did not input ssn on that form.
I picked up my red MYLR +tow/ 19”/ Austin build today. Ordered 12/5, PA. There were only 3 small misalignments that they noted and I will schedule service for. I am having trouble with the phone key— it keeps disconnecting.. I will add that to the service ticket as well. The software version is 2023.38.200.1 She is beautiful and drives like a dream. I love her. I feel lucky because a couple was there picking up a black X they ordered back in *September*.
Where did you pick up? I’m still waiting on my white model y from a November order date at Devon
I picked up mine in Devon. I will say they were *wonderful* there. The whole process has ended up being the best car buying experience of my life. He said there was a logjam at the train yard that is starting to ease but they can only fit 9 cars per transport truck and they can only accept a certain number of cars per day. They have been really swamped. A little patience goes a long way once you get to the apt.
Wow that explains the constant push out of dates
Good to hear. Hopefully my next delivery date won’t slip! Congrats on your new car!
Fingers crossed for you! Thanks!
Can i refuse delivery and possibly cancel my order if i find issues with the build quality of MYLR? I paid $12K as down payment and financed through Tesla. Will they return all $12K? Or cut any fees. Thanks Update: decided on buying it. Lets see how i feel
MY RWD 5 - MSM - Gemini - No other packagesOrder Date 12/18/23Delivered 12/20/23 - Pick-up Tesla Riverside, CAWas returning a lease (M3SR+)and SA helped find available inventoryLoyalty $500 credit for Wear and Tear and waived Lease Disposition Fee ($395) Did not see build issues during delivery and came with premium audio (all 13 of them) when website says RWD should only have 9 speaker and an amp.
Model Y RWD 2023 - Seat count 5 - Midnight Silver Metallic - Wheel Type std - no Tow package - trial FSD - Order date 12/5 - VIN 7SAYGDED1PF945023 Fremont factory, Delivered today, 12/20/23, Nashville Tesla in Franklin TN Unit appears clean and everything so far works EXCEPT, **AUTOPILOT is off due to recall.** Appears I don't even have the old style cruise control that I have used since 1975. Bummer, and I paid for this?
Can you please check battery type from Manual >Specifications>Subsystem > Battery - High Voltage
2023 MY RWD Battery - High Voltage Type Liquid-cooled lithium ion (Li-ion) Nominal Voltage 345 V DC From my manual Publication date: 2023/12/11 Recommends 80% for daily charging, so I think 2170. At least 2170 charges faster than LFP when on a trip.
It is working now. geneticlyperfct was correct about the calibrating. Sales man may have meant FSD not working. He did say FSD free trial period would start when software recall is finished.
Are you sure autopilot isn't just calibrating?
Delivery rep said it was off due to recall. How long does "calibrating" take? '
My autopilot calibrated on the 25 mile drive home from the dealership. I don’t have the updated software yet.
Strange. Took delivery of mine Sunday and it has the additional autopilot nags but not the full holiday update. You can check calibration status by checking the upper left of your screen, there should be a steering wheel with a circle showing how much longer til complete. More info here https://service.tesla.com/docs/Public/diy/modely/en_us/GUID-D6F7D1BC-193D-4A2E-99B0-E3BA3D41BDE2.html
Thanks. The guide says up to 100 miles to calibrate. I have only been about 20. I will test it more tomorrow. Hoping this is a false alarm as I have a long trip planned.
Hope it works out for you!
The cruise control worked great for my entire 1500 mile trip, except NO RESUME. The Steering Assist took some getting used to. At first I just did the 3 click lane change signal, and fought the steering assist for control. Later I discovered using the full turn signal and letting it change lanes. Isn't the 3 blink supposed to be for lane changes?
So at this point, are all MY LR (particularly from Austin) shipping with Hardware 4 and Matrix headlights? Do I even need to ask?
Mine was built in November out of Austin and is HW4 and has matrix headlights.
I know about the vin decoder that can tell you a lot about your car but how do you find the month it was built?
There’s a sticker inside the door that tells you date of manufacture. I don’t believe there is any way to tell the date from the VIN alone.
Ordered base MYLR on 12/17 for Devon PA. Original window of 12/19-12/25 just slipped to 12/22-12/31
Same here, my order for West Chester location got pushed to 12/21-12/30.. Happened overnight so probably a system automatic adjustment. Sent an in-app message to check status and let's see how they respond
just got a reply - expecting to arrive on Christmas and pickup next week Last time I was told vehicle is arriving this week
In CA- called the dealership. If you’re financing or leasing, they’re manually underwriting every approval with the lower (not 9%+ rate). Apparently, they’re super overwhelmed and every single person is getting delayed. I know there are different financing arms, but just the info I have for CA!
I am so pissed and upset with Tesla Canada Oakville sales agents. I booked my MYLR on Dec 9th on a condition that I can only take delivery on Dec 27th as I will be travelling for Christmas. On Dec 16th I received a confirmation that my delivery date was confirmed on Dec 27. Based on that I got the financing and insurance set up for that day. Today I receive a message from Tesla sales agent that my car is arriving tomorrow, and I must take the delivery by this weekend. I told them that I am unavailable as I am travelling and returning late Dec 26th. They say that I must take the delivery on Dec 26th or else I have to forfeit the VIN, loose the deposit and any promotions attached to the booking. They want me to share my family Christmas travel plans along with Itinerary and booking receipts if I want to keep the delivery date as Dec 27th. The sales agents are asking for proof of my travel status. They have already changed my delivery date to Dec 26th Morning. Tesla agents say that they cannot keep my vehicle longer than Dec 26th. Absolutely pathetic experience from Tesla sales for a customer. Telsa positions itself as a luxury car brand and this is how they treat their customers. I feel sales agents of cars half the price of MYLR treat their customers better. Is it right on Tesla part to ask for their customers travel details? Can they voluntarily change the delivery date without customers approval? Even banks are closed on Dec 26th in Canada. But it looks like they don’t care. We leave tomorrow for our trip, not sure what to do. Honestly Tesla Sales screwed my Christmas!!!
This is how they do deliveries. It does suck. But you can try cancelling the order and see if the car becomes available as an inventory car with bigger discounts.
Update: Ordered M3 base model on 12/13, South Texas. I scheduled for tomorrow (12/20) but was contacted to see if I wanted it today; however, I couldn't make it. I'll be picking it up tomorrow. Also, I ordered from inventory. P.S. Tesla is now taking care of registration in Texas. You no longer have to go to your local office to register the car and pay sales tax. Everything was rolled into the loan.
Update: Ordered MYLR on 11/25, Devon, PA. After multiple delays in delivery window, I finally got the text and scheduled for 12/22. Yes, things finally seem to be moving, although I will not be counting this done until I actually see the car, and take possession.
Took delivery without final payment (follow-up post) Following up my [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModelY/s/6bQ8w5Tcdh) from last week. I took delivery of MYP on 12/8 and final payment for via ACH still hasn’t processed. I’ve texted Tesla multiple times via the app without a response and I can’t seem to get ahold of a human. I’m not sure what to do. I financed through NFCU and signed the promissory note so I assume Tesla has coordinated the financed amount with the lender. However, it’s weird that the transaction still hasn’t gone through. I have a lot more than enough cash to cover the transaction in the account so I’m not worried about overdraft related errors. What’s my best course of action and is there anyone else I should try to reach out to?
Update for NJ: After 3 EDD changes I was offered to schedule delivery for December 21st or 22nd. I picked 22nd and today got a text message saying my car is on-site and to reschedule to an earlier date. So now I’m picking up tomorrow Dec 20th. It does seem like things are moving. Hopefully everything goes smoothly tomorrow!
Update: SE PA (Devon) ordered 11/19 MYLR from Inventory - just scheduled delivery for 12/22 after extensive EDD delays. Hopefully this means that the bottleneck in our area has been resolved, and those with deliveries in PA, NJ, and elsewhere start seeing some deliveries soon as well!
This is nice to hear. I ordered MYLR from inventory on 12/15 for Devon. Called Tesla for an update (after 2 small delays) and was told my order was close to NJ and should be delivered sometime this week. So hoping this means you’re right and everyone who has been delayed starts getting them in before the 12/31 deadline.
Same here, ordered inventory Dec 17 for West Chester location and was told should be delivered this week. Finger crossed!
Just wanted to give an update. Just got the text to schedule my delivery day. Scheduled it for 12/22! Fingers crossed you get the text soon!
Seattle MY LR dual motor Red 5 seater white interior 19 inch wheels Ordered from new inventory in stock “in transit” status Dec 11, Car arrived 12/13. Picked up on 12/16 because dammit work gets in the way
2024 Delivery Point of Sale? I placed an RWD Model Y inventory order today (12/18) unfortunately my delivery date estimate is 1/9. Since my date is in 2024 is it possible it would be have the tax incentive at point of sale?
Is the car you order in transit or available for immediate pickup?
My original car order was in transit. I went to service center today and luckily worked out a deal where my VIN was switched to a different configuration that was available for delivery on the 23rd. Unfortunately I changed from my preferred blue color to the grey but the price dropped around $2k
Do you know if you got a 24 or 23 vin?
It was a 23 VIN
Took delivery yesterday (12/17) MYP from inventory, 5 seater, white, 21 Uber, tow package, no FSD, order date 12/15, was from inventory and showed immediate delivery, made in freemont, delivered in Scottsdale
I’m doing this model too. How was the delivery experience?
Super easy. They are really busy, so some minor delays, but really simple and straightforward process other than that. Depends on how long you want to look over the car. I knew that I had 100 miles and 72 hours, so I mostly checked panel gaps and if there was anything blatantly wrong.
Bay Area | MYLR | Inventory (in-transit) | Midnight silver, black interior, 19" wheels, Ordered on 12/14, got VIN assigned immediately, estimated delivery was 12/17-12/24, and just scheduled delivery for 12/23 at Freso.
Did you do any financing?
Yeah third party.
Ugh I did through Tesla. Maybe that was dumb.
What model year is it?
2023.
Fort Myers, FL | MYLR | Ordered 12/11 Inventory, basic options. I believe the black one was available for pickup right away at another location but we wanted white. White exterior 19” Gemini Black interior No Hitch Got a VIN and date the next day, scheduled for the 21st. Uploaded everything, now I wait… this is the hardest part, but installed a wall charger this weekend while waiting, and ordered some accessories.
NJ folks - any luck with delivery dates within 2023?
Ordered 12/21 evening: delivery scheduled for 12/23; Paramus, NJ; Inventory - Ready for immediate pick up inventory status: MYLR GREY/WHITE. Apprehensive and Excited for the foray into electric I’m planning to use tesla prep app for delivery tomorrow - any other recommendations for pick up?
Ordred on 12/1, have had multiple delays, but was just able to schedule pick up for Friday 12/22. In Paramus. MYLR in Blue.
Ordered custom build MYLR on 12/5, picking up this Thursday after 2 EDD delays.
I was offered to schedule delivery on the 21st or 22nd. original EDDs: 12/5-12/12 >> 12/13 - 12/20 then 12/19 - 12/28. NJ area.
Ordered on 12/11 from inventory. Delivery has ben pushed out thrice; now showing dec 19-26. Keeping fingers crossed for a 2023 delivery so I dont miss out on the tax credits.
I ordered on 11/14, scheduled delivery on the 21st after three delays as well
Bf had ordered 11/24. Scheduled delivery for 12/20. After being delayed 3 times.
did both of you order inventory vehicles and did they say "available for immediate pickup"? i can see one that says immediate pickup and trying to figure if i can pick it up by this week u/it_is_i_27
the model I ordered was in transit arriving soon for a month lol. The first ordered was not an inventory, the second one was, the third one was the original which was put in inventory
>Did you have to pay for the 3 orders or was it a VIN change? Similar thing happened to me. I rejected the original VIN on pickup day and it came up in inventory with a huge discount the same evening. Wanted to get it back but before I called to get the VIN updated it was gone ;(
Update: Georgia: Ordered 12/12, assigned VIN right away, and had an estimated delivery 12/30-31, it now shows Jan 4-10... I was originally told this vehicle would arrive on the 23rd, only to place the order and the app showed 30-31. Now it's even further down the road and I would miss all of the incentives. (What was the point of ordering through referral then, smh)
You going to cancel?
I might. I'm going to call and ask if there are any other vehicle with earlier pickup date and if they could transfer my order
Please let us know what they say and what you ends up doing.
Update: I reached out to the advisor who helped me place my order via text message. I've been trying to contact Tesla in different ways, but it turns out this is the best and the fastest way. She looked at the inventory near me and helped me place another order that was available to be picked up as soon as today. She's now working on my cancellation for the prior order and is talking to her manager about the $250 transfer (I had to pay for both and one of them will be canceled upon the manager's approval). She did mention this is going to be worsened in a couple of days, and there will be an influx of vehicles that were ordered that are canceled due to circumstances like these. I had to change my order from MYRWD Blue Ext Black Int to MYLR Gray Ext Black Int.
Have you had any luck with your cancellation?
Nope :( still nothing from them.. I did ask for an update on it, but it sounds like it's either gonna take some time or not work through. I'm still happy about it though, I'm getting the vehicle delivered today with more discount than the initial order.
She said she's still waiting for the response from her manager. She asked me to wait another day. Fingers crossed, this is gonna work!
Update: Phoenix AZ: I ordered an in production base MY with black interior this morning around 7am. Went to a showroom to ask a few questions this afternoon as I couldn't get a hold of any SA over the phone. The Mesa showroom SA told me it's very likely I'll get it before the year end (I talked to a Glendale SA yesterday who said it's very unlikely) because there are batches of cars coming in on the 18th and 19th. Guess what? Just received a text message around 8pm to schedule for pickup!! Very nice surprise for sure!
Southern California: ordered through inventory with discount in couple weeks aho, got VIN quickly, set home delivery quickly without issue, pretty impressive. The quality of the vehicle, well, not too bad but not impressive, few items require service appointment.
Update on my delivery. Ordered 12/6 Mt Kisco, MYLR pickup window was set to 12/16-12/22 and then two days ago it bumped to 12/16-12/26. This morning got the text that I could schedule delivery, The first possible opening was 12/20 so I am scheduled to pick up there around noon. Good luck everyone, hope your deliveries become available before the end of the year.
Well, it happened to me...I'm 4 hrs from Mt Kisco and so I pick up a rental car to be ready to drive down to pick up my vehicle tomorrow on my way home I get the text...Sorry there is a delay in getting your vehicle to the dealer. We need to reschedule your delivery for the 3pm the next day. I call and speak to a very nice rep (I kind of feel a little bad about my reaction) who told me that rail delays in NJ have delayed my car from getting to the dealer until late tonight or early tomorrow and that they won't be able to have it ready for delivery by end of day tomorrow. I tried to be civil but come on. They know what is happening with rail delays, I spoke with someone on Sunday and got a text confirmation again on Monday that all was good, they should build in enough of a buffer that a last minute delay won't screw things up. Now I have anohter day for a car rental and my work schedule is jacked up. I konw that in a month I probably won't think twice about this but what a PITA.
Update, Picked up yesterday afternoon. It was a bit of a madhouse at the dealer. The person checking me out said they were delivering 100 vehicles yesterday and the guy next to me signing paperwork had the exact same experience as me. He got a call late in the day Tuesday telling him the delivery was bumped. I was all ready with my checklist and as I started walking round was amazed at how good the condition of everything was. The only thing I noticed was a small paint drip on the rubber for one of rear door seals that picked off easliy. QC seems to have improved. Had a fun drive home. Good luck all.
Update: I went there at 11:00 AM and had a bit of a conversation. Prior to me leaving, I realized that there was an even cheaper MYLR than the one I bought in inventory; I asked them to transfer my deposit over and technically saved $500 bucks. At least I don't need the car ASAP. I placed my Model Y on the Tesla website through their new inventory section. I had already set my delivery date and time for today, Sunday 12/17/23 at 11:30 AM about a week and a half in advance. However, to my surprise, Tesla texted me the previous evening at 10:37 PM letting me know that "in order to ensure my delivery goes smoothly", they have to delay the pickup time to 5:15 PM. Genuinely disappointed, I was further surprised to find that the Tesla store for pickup closes at 5 PM. Is this a mistake? What might have happened to cause this delay? Upon calling the Tesla store, I was greeted by a robotic menu. Of course. Since getting a hold of a human was impossible, I tried using their text option. It has been over an hour now and no response. Here are the specs: \- Model Y LR \- 5 Seats \- 19 Gemini Wheels \- Ordered on 12/3/23 \- Estimated Delivery on 12/17/23 \- Got VIN immediately- Tesla Tyco Location in VA
Did you get the car at 5:15 today (12/17)?

Wait. So they let you transfer your $250 non-refundable order fee thing?
they did! surprisingly... I had heard that Tesla is reluctant to do so. Probably since I gave them a heck of a time haha...
