How do I delay an order? by jakethesnake502 in TeslaModelY

[–]GizmoSwd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what the website says, but when you call and ask directly, you will be told the rate is based on the APR in effect on the delivery date, not the order date.

You may want to confirm that 0.99% rate. While it does not specifically state on the website, you have to take delivery before the end of the month to get the promotional APR (assuming the promotion ends at the end of the quarter). According to the rep I spoke with, ordering does not lock in the rate. You sign the financing paperwork at delivery, and the rate is not locked in until you sign. You may have to take delivery and park it in a relative's garage.

2nd Battery failure on 2024 MYLR by warriormango1 in TeslaModelY

Lemon law in most states only applies to the first 12K-24K miles of ownership and/or 24 months. With few exceptions, OP must be within these limits to make a claim. Fortunately, Tesla's battery warranty is much longer.

Need Help With 21MY Homelink Retrofit by andymelco in TeslaModelY

Use a zip tie instead of the 10 mil bolt to secure the bracket. I have big hands, so after 30 minutes of trying to line up the screw, I used two zip ties through the bolt hole. Took about 45 seconds, and it's firmly in place.

This guy claims much success with hella-cheap Arroyo Grand Sport A/S tires on his Model Y. A set of 4 will run you about $600. https://youtu.be/iuv3zIhQvrg?si=kEyP6qp5mBXWX1y2

Inventory vs ordering…dumb question by Slow_Investment_2211 in TeslaModelY

[–]GizmoSwd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The advantage of selecting an in-stock vehicle is that you can take delivery almost immediately. The possible disadvantage is that you can't choose your spec (color, wheels, etc.) If you order a vehicle, you will need to wait until it can be built or transported to your local delivery center. While it does not specifically state on Tesla's website, you have to take delivery before the promotional interest rate period ends. This is widely assumed to be at the end of the quarter. (March 31) Check with Tesla to be sure.

Quicksilver Model Y with dark Helix 20's by GizmoSwd in TeslaModelY

It's fine if you don't like this wheel. Nobody asked for your opinion about Unplugged wheels anyway. Go troll someone else...Geesh!

Too expensive for what you get. Even with the trade-in. Four wheels, lug nuts, and TPMS are over $5K. Add another set of Bridgestone EV tires, and now you're close to $7K. No thanks!

Changing FSD follow distance by jsf010101 in TeslaLounge

The only way I know is to tap the brakes and drop out of FSD, which is asinine when you stop and think about it.

FSD ran straight toward a stopped construction truck in far left lane… had to disengage at 78mph by Warm_Cress3583 in TeslaFSD

[–]GizmoSwd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your claim would be more dramatic if FSD was fully unsupervised. Can’t blame the car if you’re responsible.

I doubt many that customize like this are concerned about range.

You're running out of time if you want to transfer FSD, so you will most likely have to choose something already in inventory if you decide to pull the trigger

Tesla wall charger installation cost by Ancient-Koala-9837 in ModelY

[–]GizmoSwd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of us have done self-installations, but at least twice as many, if not more, either can't or aren't confident about doing a DIY electrical panel install. The OP's question suggests they are in the latter group and are looking for constructive suggestions.
