Today is the day. I’m so nervous and hope everything goes smoothly at the showroom. We had a few hiccups using outside financing which was very stressful but hopefully we got it straightened out. I guess I’ll find out.

Delivery Question on Tint

Post image
• Upvotes

Ordered 9/5 and took delivery yesterday in South Florida. MY Premium RWD. Worth the wait and delivery was flawless! Got the ‘27 VIN which has PowerShare!

Question on tint… the 2 rear windows come pre-tinted to I believe 20% tint??

I was planning to tint the 4 windows with 15%, and the front windshield with 70%. All ceramic film.

Since the 2 rears are pre-tinted - does the tint shop have to remove the pre-tint, or do they just go over top?

Side note: Yes, I am aware of tint laws!

Delivery Delivery Delay

Ordered September 11 had an original EDD October 11- November 11. Had two updates once fairly soon to October 9-23 and then October 16-30 since it was a two week window I assumed the time was narrowing. Then sadly this morning woke up to this update? I see everyone who placed orders way after me getting theirs this month. My pick up is Spokane, WA. Anyone else experience this?

Question Model Y backlights

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

I have a 2023 Tesla Model Y and was trying to modify the rear lights to keep some lights on while turning the others off. To do this, I cut a red wire and then reconnected it by twisting the two ends together.

(it works when i press the break and signals)

After that, both right-side rear parking lights stopped working: one is on the tailgate, and the other is on the body of the car. However, the right brake light and turn signal still work normally. All the lights on the left side are working.

In Tesla Service Mode, the error VCRIGHT_a312_right-TailLightFault appears. This could be related to a disconnected light, insufficient current draw, or an eFuse that has tripped as a protective measure.

I have already tried locking the car for 20–30 minutes to see if the system would reset, but the problem persists.

What I need to find out: whether the eFuse for the right rear light circuit has tripped and, if so, how to reset it correctly.

Delivery Upload insurance after I pick a delivery date?

3 Upvotes

Just got a vin assigned. RWD Premium in FL.
My question is, do I need to upload my proof of insurance now? I’m just not sure what date to put on my insurance to say the change in vehicle is happening since I don’t know when it’s going to be delivered. Or is this step not required in order for the delivery date option to populate?

Financing form during ordering

• Upvotes

I'm ready to order the car but I don't know the whole process. When does it ask for the financing information during ordering? Do I first fill out the order with the options I want and finish that? And then will a financing option come up after that? Thanks.

Question Feels like AC blowing weak

1 Upvotes

I feel like AC used to be strong. Like i rarely need to do more than fan level 3. But nowadays i dont even notice any difference in temp when level is set to 3. I pretty much always leave it at the highest setting at all times during summer.

Changed cabin and HEPA and still having issues. I am not sure if this is normal and just my memory is wrong lol does anyone experience any similar issues?

Order the MY rwd in diamond black but not sure if i should continue the remaining tasks. I’ve done everything but the trade in (trading in my corolla) and financing.

Should I wait until I get a vin number to complete those remaining steps? Last thing I want is to have them lapse if I don’t get a car assigned

Question Photobooth camera pixelated?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I just picked up my Tesla a few days ago and I noticed the photobooth interior camera is very pixelated and not as clear as the other exterior cameras. I noticed it when I picked up the car. The Tesla advisor acknowledged that it was unclear and said it was likely an update. I did the Halloween update recently and it still is an issue. Is this normal?

I also noticed that the camera glitches black sometimes. Others having this issue?

Live in Ontario, credits earned by orders placed in the US --> do they expire.

1 Upvotes

I live in Ontario and my profile is Ontario based. I earned credits by my family and friends ordering cars in the US. The app shows that the credits will expire. However I keep reading that credits don't expire in Ontario. Does that only apply to credits earned by cars that were ordered in Ontario or for any resident of Ontario (regardless of where the car was ordered) ?

Question New kid on the block

Hey guys, just bought a legacy Model Y long range, and got a L2 charger put into the house. What are some things you know now that you wish you knew when you first bought your Tesla?

Hypothetical bonus points for the most interesting information shared.

Super loud scraping noise coming from back of car. Both back wheels

6 Upvotes

Drove about a mile from home and started hearing a scraping noise, thought it was the car behind me, but I was still hearing it when I turned and no other cars around me. Got out and video it with my wife drive it slowly on a driveway.

Car is 1 years old with 7k miles on it.

Earliest appt with Tesla service is next Friday.

Google said it could be a small rock stuck between the rotor and dust shield, but I don't think a small rock could cause that much noise.

What could be causing it?

Question Service Center cannot reproduce this issue!

3 Upvotes

Does anyone know what this issue might be?

This is a 2024 (May) MYLR (pre Juniper)

I've brought it into Tesla Service two times. Both times we were unable to reproduce the issue with a tech. They even replaced both Rear Upper Fore Links at my first visit. They said everything looks mint, no signs of wear, and unable to make it creek. Even kept it over night to try in colder morning weather. Nothing.

This video is from 5 minutes after getting home from my second visit, it's back. Now we're in the "come back when it happens again" loop.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all,

Just purchased a CPO MY w/ HW4

First FSD drive home, mapped home which is normally 45 minutes.

Ended up taking 2 hours. FSD missed like every exit and finally just took over and drove home. Am i missing something? Had it on mad max but that’s the only thing I can think of that would make it miss exits. Please help!

Driver Door Not Closing Well

My driver side door takes a little more force to close than should be necessary. It closes with no issue when windows or another door is open so I think it’s a cabin pressure thing. Normal?

Question Ally vs Santander app experience

0 Upvotes

Just got approved through Tesla for a new Model Y via Ally or Santander.

I haven’t had a car note in about six years. I’m used to Capital One’s app and being able to make payments and easily put extra toward principal.

For anyone currently using Ally or Santander:

- How’s the app or mobile website?

- Can you easily make extra principal payments, or do you have to call?

Planning to pay more than the minimum and knock the loan out early, so I’d appreciate firsthand experiences with either lender.

TIA

Supermanifold v2 in US 2027 models

0 Upvotes

Hi guys, about to order a new MY premium for wifey. I read that the new AC unit, the supermanifold v2, is now standard equipment in Berlin-built cars and possily Austin-built ones. Is it now released across the board (both Fremont and Austin), or it's really just a random draw? I figure that having an updated AC unit in hot days is always a good idea, but probably won't put off ordering for too long just for that. Thanks!
