Thanks. I'm learning new things about it every day. Like how big the accessory market is for Tesla's. It's mind boggling

 

For the 3 and the Y I bet the market is much better than the S due to volume. The one thing a lot of S owners, including me, really want are aftermarket tailights like the more recent versions of the S. It seems so simple that someone could make a nice aftermarket set but no one has and the new lights can’t be retrofitted. The old tailights look so outdated and it’s the one thing that bother me most but not enough to trade my car in for a new one.

 

One more thing I thought you would appreciate. One Model S owner went to pick up his car recently and I kid you not, they put the wrong trim/door panel on one of the front doors. The door had carbon fiber trim and the rest of the car had wood. I don’t even know how that would not be noticed because the trim wraps around from the door to the dash. Maybe they didn’t have any more wood trim and said scare it, I’ll just grab something else and put it on.

 

Very nice. I disliked the Y when it first came out, but it has grown on me. Well designed car that obviously checks the boxes for a lot of folks.

 

Beautiful ❤️.
My coworker right next to me just placed an order for MY yesterday.

 

looking good! black is definitely the best color (hides the black wheel cladding ).

question: how is the road/wind noise in the Y compared with your other cars?

 

if production incentives are around quantity and not quality, that's what you get...

could also be that trims are put on the doors before the doors are put on cars, and maybe the doors are put on by robots that can't see the trim.

 

Looking good. Enjoy your five minutes of shine. I'm glad they let you wash your car at home.

 

LOL that's funny, although probably not to the owner. They just don't seem to pay as much attention to Model S and X.

Here's one I heard from a friend of mine where his co-worker bought a Y. He went to the Fremont factory to pick up his Y, inspected it, everything was fine. Accepted delivery, and as he was driving off, the rear bumper cover fell off . He said this happened around January. LOL at least it came off before he got home! Thank God I got a Monday Y and not a Friday Y. I literally got a Monday car because it was delivered on Tuesday

 

I used to dislike them as well when they first came out, but they made some minor tweaks to them over the last couple of years. It will hopefully serve my family well as our hauler and commuter

 

Because there is no engine/transmission sounds, you do notice some wind noise, but it's not bad, but you do get some echo due to all the thick glass. Due to the tires being over inflated (42 psi), you do get some road noise, but that is also not bad as it has good insulation and the battery also cuts some of the road noise out.

My IS350 did let in less road noise, but that is also due to the thicker insulation around the wheel wells and underbody, and tires inflated to 34 psi. Compared to other cars, there is definitely a bit more wind and road noise, but the lack of engine sounds makes it pretty quiet overall. Now if I had opted for the 20" tires, road noise (and feel) would be pretty bad

 

I literally LOL'd when I read this even though I shouldn't be because it's so ridiculous . The guy that had the two different door trims rejected delivery for that and a couple other issues which is why most S owners say to not make payment until the car is inspected.

The Tesla business model seems to be opposite of other car manufacturers where they take better care/more pride in the cars that are more expensive vs. the lower priced volume models. Maybe that's why they are more successful LOL.

 

I actually took it to a car wash! At home I just use the waterless car wash (Chemical Brothers) between washes

 

It is ridiculous, but if you live near a Tesla service center like I do, they fix issues really quickly. In a lot of cases they send a tech to your work or home. As far as payment is concerned, at least in my case, full payment had to be made before delivery. The finance company sent payment to Tesla, then I had to pay the remaining balance (down payment) before moving to the final delivery steps. When the car was delivered to my house, my son inspected it with me on a What'sApp conference call, when everything looked fine, I accepted the delivery in the app and the car unlocked so he could move it into the backyard

 

AMIRZA leave that beautiful car alone! Just drive that bad boy! Just my 2 cents...
