Tesla Model Y Ultimate Buyers Guide
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2024
- Since the launch of the Tesla Model Y in Spring of 2020, we have seen many changes. Some of those changes have been for the good, and some of them for the bad.
We have seen prices go up and go down. We have seen new trim options for the Model Y, and we have also seen them disappear.
With the constant changes, its time to break down the options you have, and if they are worth it.
If you are ready to purchase a Tesla Model Y, or are considering a purchase of the Model Y, you need to think about these things. Its more than just selecting a color and a performance requirement. The Long Range AWD Model Y has more options to choose from than a Performance Model Y.
With these various differences, and over a year of ownership, I want to share with you some recommendations as you think about what options to get and which to pass on when purchasing your Model Y.

If you are ready to order your new Tesla, don't miss out on your free 1,000 miles Supercharging by using my referral code - www.tesla.com/referral/justin... - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
We ordered our blue MYP last weekend, after watching your videos for several months. The waiting is going to be so tough. Thanks for putting these together!
Oh man, congrats! 0-60 in 3.5 sec!!
Morning - I pick up my MYP on Sunday and I am beyond excited. Thanks for your vids!
hell yea, congrats!
Another excellent video. Thank you for putting this together for us still deciding on the model Y options.
Glad to help
such a thorough presentation and easy to absorb, well done! I recommend you continue this series with a video that breaks down after you go through the purchase process, down payment, additional costs to expect to see on your contract, financing options, the whole 9 yards once you decide to go through with it.
Good idea, maybe I will do that
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I just placed my order today and used your referral code thanks!. I agree it would be helpful to see what happens next. My next steps show to provide insurance informacion once I have the VIN#, but didn't see anything about payment/financing yet.
Appreciate the video! Thank you! Your video makes it easier when shopping for a model Y!
Great to hear!
Just ordered my Tesla using your code! Thanks so much for all the informative videos, really helped my wife and I pull the trigger on it.
So glad to hear it thanks for supporting the channel!
love this presenter . great vibe no nonsense. Thank you!
Cheers!
Very comprehensive. Sooo well done.
Cheers
love your videos man keep going
Glad you like them!
This is an amazing video , you greatly helped with our decision to get a MYLR in blue with geminis
So glad you found it helpful! Cheers
Great video!
Got my blue LRMY this past Sunday! Love it, puts a smile on everyone’s face that rides with. Have put 750 miles on her now. Ended up dropping the Induction wheels and spent the $2k towards Martians satin gunmetal, love the look so much more and the wheels are way lighter.
There you go, that’s what I would do if I could do it all over. Congrats!
Another great video. Keep up the good work!
Cheers
Picking up white on white Y performance on Monday, getting it fully wrapped in 3M. Have a kid and a dog, will send you updates on interior durability.
fantastic to hear, congratulations!
Please.....we have 2 kids and dog. Went for black interior but still want white next time.
So instead of spending 1-2K on paint, you prefer using 3M?
Good considering that, I did not think about that
@Taras S
Are you happy with the 3M? Are the PPR flaps still a necessity with the wrap?
Thanks for the information!
Welcome!
Picked up one of the last MY-SR in Ontario Canada on Sunday!! Love it.
Congratulations!
Standard range gang
Always great info., opinions and content!! I pick up my LRMY white on white w/inductions tomorrow. I was going back and forth on wheels, but since in So Cal, decided to go w/ inductions- too sexy to pass up! :)
They look so good! Congrats to you!!
@@BeardedTeslaGuy thank you!! I live in a canyon, and when I test drive both wheels the 20’s really out performed the 19’s. Also helped w/ decision.
Thanks great to know these things for someone who is still waiting for the model Y to come but I'll definitely look at the white interior Cheers
Cheers
Great advice thank you
Cheers
Good Tesla news updates & thanks for sharing your video clip
Subscribed
Cheers
Dope video! Great info!!!
Cheers
another great video! and yep, the mudflaps and ppf are required! learned that after one week with my cheapo standard range MY.
It’s bad the damage this thing takes
@@BeardedTeslaGuy It is my understanding that the panel behind the front wheel is more inboard than on the M3 and the the panel in front of rear wheel flares out more than M3. I remember that from some other youtube video. AND, I can say my Model 3 AWD does not have this problem. I have not put mudflaps on it.
Picked my my LRM3 on Fri. I'm in love. Can't stop looking at this car.
I know that feeling!
I’ve ordered the Model Y, but I have to admit, I love the looks of the Model 3. It’s a nicer looking vehicle to me.
Picked mine up on wednesday(ordered last friday), im in love! M3LR!
Congrats! Excellent choice.
Thank you so much. This was easily the best video I've found for guidance buying a Y. Fantastic information I hadn't heard elsewhere (performance boost option and the info regarding wheels and tires specifically). Great articulation and clarity. New subscriber right here. Ok going to watch more!
But damn I love those turbine wheels...
So glad to hear, welcome!
If you ever look at the used market the ROI on getting red or at least white interior is HUGE. Those cars will outpace both the speed of sale and the value of the other configurations - especially the base model.
Red is a popular choice with few cars out there
i purchased the 2021 MYLR AB with white interior and love it. it does get dirty and i wipe it down with lysol wipes and no issue.
congrats to you and glad to hear you went for it with white interior
Thanks for helping me on the induction wheel decision!
You're welcome!
Very informative
Glad you liked it
Thanks for important informations
Cheers
This is fantastic , it's pretty amazing how many people don't know much about teslas since they don't really have commercial ads like legacy auto doing people a real solid
Cheers
Thank you
Welcome!
Amazing review I can’t wait for the model Y to be available in Australia
You are going to love it!
Good advice. I’d like you to try the Carmel roundabouts under 10.5.
Stay safe out there.
Sure will. Finally got 10.5 this morning
Another benefit of the hitch, it adds one more chunk of metal to absorb an impact if needed
I suppose lol
Nice job 👏👍
Cheers
Picking up mine on November 3 in Cincinnati Ohio, Team Red Model YLR 🤗🤩🥳
Nice!
I have watched almost all of your videos - thanks for the great content.
I have ordered my Performance Model 3 - all in it is about $61,000 which is a lot for me. I am considering delaying the Dec 10 - Dec 31 delivery with the thought that I want either LFP or 4680 battery (even better).
I am not in a “Got to have it now” frame of mind. With a purchase this big I want the best possible Model 3 I can get.
Should I wait?
Thanks,
Robert
Sent from my iPad
Well, I don't think the LFP batteries will be used for anything other than Standard Range versions in the U.S. The 4680's still seem to be a ways away. So I would realistically target beginning of Q2 2022 as the earliest we would see 4680's
Picked up yesterday. I think very accurate is where you live is what kind of tires you get makes sense. FSD in my opinion takes some fun away from driving but that being said if money just doesn’t matter to you then get it. As far as the tires Tsportsline has the same tires you can get 19 inch ones for $1960 then put those on the current tires, then get snow tires and put them on the gimini wheels. You end up saving $1200-1600 depending on what you were going to get.
Yep, it’s a more cost effective way to go
now that I know what I want is white on white...but the wheels got me thinking. 19 comfortable +snow vs 20 sick looking but not too good for the weather here in Toronto.
That’s the problem haha. Just get Gemini and buy a takeoff set from someone for $2,500. Then you’ve got both for both seasons.
Very Nice!
Cheers
Can you measure the height of the seat off the road please and post it. Thanks
Model 3 also if possible.
Good video and excellent points for new buyers to consider.
Here’s my take on range: at one point in your video, you had a comparison of a long road trip (by ABRP, a fave of mine) by two different models, a SR and a LR. The driving time, of course, would be the same in either version. But add in the charge times, and the trip time in the SR was nearly two hours longer than the LR. Whoa Nelly!
However...
The shortest trip time was over 17 hours. I can’t speak for anyone other than me, but I am NOT Jack Kerouac. I don’t drive over 10 hours in a day. 12 max. 8 more likely. Ever. After that, I’m stopping at a hotel. Which means, regardless of what I’m driving, my EV (a Model 3 SR+, fwiw) is recharging - overnight. While I’m sleeping. Back up to 90% or 100%. Meaning, in the real world, there is not one iota of difference in charge times and total trip time between either the SR or the LR. Or the P, for that matter.
I have a family of 4 (wifey, 11 YO boy and 13 YO boy, and me) on these trips. Or just me, solo. Bathroom breaks. Coffee breaks. Meal breaks. Stretch breaks. All breaks can be incorporated with charging stops. Probably a bit over 2 hours at a stretch of driving, and someone in the car wants/needs a break of some kind. 15-20 minutes on a Super Charger, and we’re off. Easy. Convenient.
I think far too much time/energy has been spent on “range” as a zero sum game. It’s counterproductive (past a certain point) and makes those who are considering getting a Tesla second guess the whole thing. I don’t deny there are individuals and situations where LR makes a huge difference. Get the LR! But to take a 17+ hour road trip as a defining situation is, I think, a bit of hyperbole.
Just my opinion. YMMV.
Yea, no doubt there’s not a long list of people who will drive 17 hours straight, although I did on the way back lol.
thanks
very helpful
Cheers
If the LR RWD MY becomes available, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it vs. the currently available LR AWD version.
It would be a strong buy!
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Thanks for the speedy response! Good to know you think the RWD would be a strong buy.
i've ordered the tri fsd motor cyber truck for the long range & plan to buy the S dual motor as well.i'm all invested in TSLA & I have a lot of solar to charge them both..
That’s pretty awesome
I was waiting for the green act to be approved for tax credit. I don’t think it will happen anytime soon. With all the stimulus and other priorities I doubt it will be coming soon. Same for solid state batteries at least 3-5 years. So I am waiting for end of quarter and place an order.
It’s always a good time to buy
A bit off topic, but as you have impressed me with your obvious research to stay aware of Tesla Model Y updates/issues...I'm curious if you have comment to a few searchable online articles related to rodent damage to the soybean based electrical wiring as well as rodents gaining entry into the cabin of the vehicle. There was one video I watched the mouse inside the owners car. Other articles I've read discussed access points but that's a whole other story.
I am pretty sure the seep hole for the HVAC system is an easy place for rodents to enter
I opted for the P3 over the PY. I only put 78 miles on those hideous, fugly turbine wheels and changed them out on day 3 of having the car. Went with a set of Martian 18” and just from the downsize, I gained 40 miles of range from the circumference difference and 18” tires are much cheaper than buying 20” tires. Win / win.
Those are the wheels I have on my wish list
Awhile back you had a video on getting new tires I was just curious if you had them replaced locally or at a tesla service center. I was told that only tesla could change out your tires and just couldn't believe that.
Big O Tires locally. They are the best for me
Hi . Thanks for your good video .
Please check ground clearance and roof handle of Tesla model Y .
Thanks.
Cheers
I just got my financing approved through my credit union and I’m pumped. Blue long range for me
Woohoo, congrats!!
#teamblue
Happy for you bro. I am currently waiting for my delivery day. Mine is Long Range as well but white color.
great job BTG. I have been waiting patiently for Tesla to revalue their Canadian pricing. Canadian dollar has increased in value to the US buck. but no price changes. for example, the paint at $1k in USD is $1300 in Canadian dollars for a 1.3 US/Cdn, but the price at $50k for AWD is $70k in Canada for a 1.4 US/Cdn $.
Any pull with Elon much appreciated!!
Haha, I don’t even get a tweet response from the guy lol
Sill saving up for a Model Y, hoping to snag one this summer, 2 years for better batteries is too painful =D.
One question about the new batteries, since they are more efficient, do you think that range will significantly improve? Or do you think Tesla will just be able to use less batteries in each car to lower weight and possibly cost. I can see either being an option. Elon has already said 300 miles is basically the sweet spot.
I honestly believe it’ll be somewhere in the middle. They may reduce capacity some to help with cost and supply but it’ll be more range than today no doubt
You neglected to mention that the Induction and Performance wheels stick out a little more than the tire rubber greatly increasing chance of road rash on curbs compared to the standard wheels or hubcaps. You may have to assume added costs of fixing them.
i have unfortunately experienced this first hand.
So - found a car in inventory matching the order and delivery is on June 30th 2021. Just took less than 3 weeks in my case. Found the insurance within in budget from progressive. Quite excited and nervous now. Paid off the down payment and uploaded the insurance docs. Now 2 nights to go :)
Sweet! Congrats!
@@BeardedTeslaGuy : Is there a link to checklist I have to review?
Got the model y delivery today in dalllas and driving back to houston charging on the way in Corsicana. Minor issues with car.. the wireless charging is not charging phones. The one on demo and test drive model y was working . Then one more minor issue on trunk that may have to be fixed. But overall a great experience so far
Hey, great update! I heard a rumor that GIGA-AUSTIN will be producing MYs with the new battery for sale in the US, true? Now the key is when they will be open for production.
Yes this is confirmed
I would probably go with the Long Range. I do not have the money for either but do like that vehicle.
Ha, the LR is still super fast
You could buy Tesla stock Now. Car price will go down, stock price will go up. Easier to afford.
Great video! I'm expecting delivery of my model Y in another week. If you plan on towing with this car, don't get the 20" wheels as they reduce the towing capacity for the car. The 19" wheel gets you the full 3500lb capacity. Thanks again for this video.
Cheers
@@BeardedTeslaGuy hi Bearded Tesla, I ordered a Y, but have a choice between Austin factory(newer battery variation, some small upgrades) or the Fremont 2022 version....Is there a big difference between those two model Y's? The Fremont Model Y can be delivered this month, the Austin version can be sent to me in Sept..WHich would you choose?
Rock chips on that back tire area are not a “Tesla” issues. I’m currently driving a BMW X6, and it has the exact same problem, chipped paint and scratches super easy. Paint durability on most “luxury” cars is not good. But it sure does look good clean and new.
Yea, rock chips are a reality for a lot of cars. The shape of the Model Y lends itself to more exposure than most cars I have personally owned. Getting good mud flaps is really important to help protect the car.
I think I’m most torn on wheels (and still struggling between blue and red). The inductions look incredible. I live in NC so not much snow. However with the small sidewall, people talk like they will blow with every bump in the highway! Are they really that sensitive?!
Nah, they won’t blow. But they are more bumpy and for some reason a lot of people moving into Tesla’s are coming from more plush rides it seems
Thank you very nice... waiting on my MYLR ordered 1/24/2021(ca) I have not heard anything 🤷♂️
Man, that’s surprising.
Yup .... can’t wait to share those miles stay blessed brother 🤫
Justin, Ordered model Y with your referral link. Should the 1,000 supercharger miles show on the order? Thanks
Awesome thanks so much for supporting the channel. So you won’t see anything until you take delivery. Then it’ll be in your loot box on the app
I’m very surprised you didn’t mention using a referral code when ordering to get the super charging miles.
Don’t forget to use one, no matter whose!
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Where can I get this referral code??
Waiting for air suspension and newer battery before I order!! Would also love if they offered 6 seats
That would be pretty cool, but I don’t think there’s enough room to do a practical 6 seat layout
You might also get the Chinese HEPA bio defense HVAC and newer door cards.
@@mini2nut67 newer door cards? What car has those? What benefits do they have?
@@qman66 Google the Chinese made Model Y. The wood dash extends into the doors part of the way. It makes the interior look a bit more luxurious.
WAITING FOR GREEN ACT and/or NJ 5000 incentive!
Fingers crossed
Same
Hopefully it is for most 2021 models. Some tax experts are saying that it would be super hard to have a hard date of saying from this date on you can claim it. We will see what happens. My guess is that Tesla would then take off autopilot and raise prices as well so it will be a draw guarantee it. Because the point of that break is also for Tesla to keep on investing in tech as well.
@@Garciasa07 yeah that’s true
I think I’ll just end up take advantage of the 5k you get in the summer for NJ
Me too..
Wish everyone had the darn extensive California incentives/ grants they get..
Crazy lucky that state is lol
Love my basic (SR, base model wheels, white exterior, black interior) MY. Only thing I would change is the white seats. LR too of course, but for CBA, just wasn’t worth it for me.
Congrats!
I got the SR also! Love it for this home body.
If I get Standard wheels and hubcaps I’d want to get the wheels black powder coated like the photo you showed. How do I find out where to get that done?
Google powder coating near your area and you will find a number of people who do that. Its not terribly expensive to do.
Nice review. I did a test drive on a model y today and the SA said the only staining issue is with blue demand and I'm a total bluejean guy but there is cleaner that takes care of it
And both the white and red paint are triple coated. The black and midnight silver have fewer coats
What is your opinion on wraps?
I ordered the white and white long range but I would love it to be yellow
Sorry blue jeans are a staining issue on the white interior but even that can be cleaned
There is a ceramic product that you can put on the seats to add a layer of protection
@@BeardedTeslaGuy What product is that??
Hi BTG, what Mudflaps do you recommend for a Model Y?
I love the EVannex ones I have on.
Any feedback on Paint protection vs Ceramic coating or both
Ceramic at least! But if you are doing PPF, you can’t do ceramic until PPF is on the car
Can you make a video on Tesla auto insurance?
It’s not available in Indiana so I don’t have good details for it unfortunately
Hi, I’m decided between the 19 inch or the 20 Induction wheels. From your experience, how much more comfortable is the ride quality on the 19 vs the 20’s? If there’s a big difference, then I’m thinking of getting the 19’s then getting aftermarket 19 wheels to replace.
There it’s a noticeable difference but it’s not huge
I'm ordering the model y tommorow,after watching your video and u telling about the new cells 4860 coming....should I wait for the new cells or go for the current ones???? Any suggestions
Your call, I wouldn’t have the patience to wait for 2 years but that’s just me
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Well, I live in Europe and Giga Berlin will produce those 4680 Model Y in just 3-4 months,
Are there any other accessories that you highly recommend? Like the mud flaps and the ppf.
Check out our 10 Must Have Accessories video, I have the best accessories that I have bought and recommend in there.
RPM mudflaps, any center console cover (not wrap), 3DMax floor mats
Now that the performance price is so close to the price of the LR, would you buy a performance if ordering in the present?
I’m really tempted. I just don’t like the harsh ride. But that crazy acceleration is insane
Hey BTG. What mats do you have or know of for the Model Y 7 seater? 3D Maxpider doesn’t seem to have them.
They just released the 3rd row floor mats I believe. Theres still not a cargo cover though.
Selling mind ASAP I have a Y
I noticed the website doesn’t show the new center console. Two years for 4680 seems like an understatement coming Elon. Most of the times things don’t go as planned and get delayed.
Yep, keep looking daily for a few months now for the website to update to the new console.
Unless you into the streets racing, the long range make more practical senses!
For sure
Its crazy that now.. the difference in cost between the MYLR and MYP is less than 5k
Yea it is crazy
I am hoping it's not 18-24 months out for the new batteries and cast lower front and lower rear frame...THAT is the model I really want! I just got a new job (with a FAR shorter commute! Only 30 min vs 1 1/2 hours at my old job!)...and I also quit smoking, saving me $400/mo! Additionally, in the next few months, I pay off a debt consolidation loan that was $360/mo...between that and the savings from not buying cigarettes, that's a Tesla payment! (Long Range/Dual Motor) Also, they have a new paint process being implemented in Giga Berlin and Giga Texas...and hopefully new color options! Hoping to see these changes and new options in the 2022 models, if not, I will probably wait until 2023.
Yea, I’d expect to see very limited production end of this year, but more volume in the first half of 2022
I went to pick up my performance model Y yesterday and they refused to let me see the car beforehand. They told me it was out getting charged up and that I should go ahead with all the paperwork. 2 and a half hours later I find out that they lied. Truth was the car had alignment issues because of a damaged wheel they were trying to quickly fix hoping I wouldn’t notice. Absolutely sleazy tactics. I rejected the car and canceled the order. ALWAYS DEMAND to fully inspect your Tesla upon delivery before wasting hours on paperwork. Tesla has A LOT of work to bring up their Q/C... I may just order an Audi RSQ8 instead.
Sounds like your local service center is doing some shady business
What center was this at?
Do all Model Ys now have that updated interior by this time? I live in the Chicagoland area
its just the center console thats updated, but yes, they have been shipping with the new console for a while now.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy FWIW, I ordered my Model Y 3 weeks ago and initially got a VIN without the updated center console. I asked my sales rep to confirm they released it for me when I found out it was the older version. My Model Y with the updated center console gets delivered on Monday!
Do the performance because life is too short to drive a boring car.
I agree with the towing package. I ordered mine because I didn't want anyone else hacking into the harness, plus the tow mode. I think it was you towing a camper video was the first of your videos I saw. I have not used my Y to tow anything yet because I also have a truck which does most of the towing, but it still is an option.
I had the same concern with the white seats and my kids are all grown.
FSD is still not really worth it in my opinion. I have it and its not worth $10k IMHO for me. Perhaps in the future it will be. I hope it will be because I'm banking on it having some residual value when I sell the car in the future. My guess is the subscription will be $149-199 a month. It does seem to be improving with each little update. I don't have the beta.
All good inputs. Performance would be living life no doubt!
If someone was in the market for a MY, should they buy now or wait a few weeks/months?
If in the market now, I’d get it now. If not, wait a little and watch for the EV tax credits
My SR Model Y window sticker shows 2 motors in specs. Could it be that it has 2 motors but just blocked functionality through the software?
It would be easy to take a peek and find out
I think they should make FSD a monthly fee. That way you could enable it for summer road trips, but cancel the membership for daily driving.
It’s coming!
Hi, just had a quick question for you.
When you sell a Tesla with FSD does the FSD get transferred too ?
As selling my model Y as got the new X so the buyer had this question.
Please let me know when you can.
Thanks a lot.
Yes, FSD stays with the car, not the owner
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Oh perfect thanks a lot.
I would appreciate your advice. I have a Model Y that I took delivery in Sept of 2020. Since that time, the build quality is so much better plus all of the improvements that have been made since then. I only have 6400 miles on it. Should I sell it to Vroom since they are offering a lot and get a newer with with the color and interior I really want? Telsa trade in is too low but Vroom is offering a lot. It would cost me about $10K to $11K to do this including taxes. Any sane person would say no but I would love the new features. I'm just not sure how much mine will depreciate going forward. It may cost a bunch more later. What do you think? Thanks
Well, you know what the bottom price you can get, why not offer it for private party in the meantime?
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Good idea. I didn't think of. Thanks
Do you feel the ride quality and road noise is largely different between the 19" Geminis and the 20" Induction wheels, or is it fairly negligible.
I haven’t had a chance to try the 19s so I can’t say for certain but the larger tire sidewall will improve ride quality. By how much I don’t know
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Thanks for the reply.
Could you tell me, which model or upcoming model for 2022-2023 With best mile rage , Is it high possibility rhat they will come out with tesla with rage of 400miles ,id say thats more then enough, which is decent price, Becouse I’ve seen Roadster is that good rage upcoming car but its like 250,000, could they make something similar battery of roadster or same, since its, well created,? I think they could like put that battery into a cheaper model, My maximum 40-50k$ and main thing is range that is most important for me. Thinking of saving up this year for a tesla, so is there are a high chance of tesla coming out of a new model in a year or two thats a under 50k$ range of ~400mile
The new battery cells will be a game changer. Now how they implement them with range is yet to be seen. I dont know if it will be all the way up to 400 miles given the more expensive S has 400 miles, so I think it'll be between 350 and 400 miles.
The white interior sets Teslas apart from most other vehicles IMO , like them or not, they are amazing and brighten the interior. But there are not many other cars besides maybe a Rolls that you can get anything like it as far as interior colors are concerned. I have been questioned many times, even now , why I would have white interior and have had to explain many times how easy they are to clean.
It’s such an amazing interior in white.
How DO you clean the white interior? I had a BMW with white, and it always looked dirty no matter what I did.
How much of a difference is the ride quality between the MYLR vs MYP? I'm really hung up on which model Y to purchase because of this
Ride quality is pretty far apart. That performance suspension is actually pretty good on the track. Just not so much off the track lol
@@BeardedTeslaGuy hey thanks for replying! Appreciate it
Hi what’s the advantage of going after market for tow hitches ?
Cost
I did test drive a Y performance and the ride wasn’t bad at all.
Yea, if you are coming from or used to a sports car, it won’t seem bad at all to you
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I rode up in my friends SR+ 3 and I drive a 12 LaCrosse AWD and a 98 Ford Ranger 4X4 with the off-road package.
What is your referral code I’m trying to add it to my order that I ready ordered they told me that I can add iton later on
Justin35851. Thanks so much for supporting the channel!
Added your referral link to my order. How do I know if it took?
Fantastic, thanks so much for supporting the channel! You won’t see it until you take delivery
After delivery Monday miles were on my iPhone app.
Only disappointment is note says they expire 11/11/2022 six months from delivery.
If I opt-out of the self-driving package for $10,000 can I pay the $10,000 and get back in... say 3 years from purchase?
Yea as long as it’s still 10k
FSD is the best deal on the planet. Not because it is feature rich right now but rather what it will be in less than a year from now. The FSD option will actually make your vehicle increase in value over time as it improves. It will also allow you to use your car as an income generator once the Robo Taxi is available. Don't miss out on this amazing future. The way I look at it.... FSD is on sale for cheap.
Yea, that’s one perspective and I don’t disagree with your position. For me though, I won’t be enrolling my car in a taxi fleet, so all that value is 0 to me. For some it’ll be a no brainer, for others, not so much. That’s why I like that it’s an option
I just put a order in for a performance y. Is there anyway to get free supercharger miles? Just though I’d ask. Thanks
No, they ended the referral program back in September
@@BeardedTeslaGuy that stinks. Thanks for quick reply. Love your videos. Been watching for a long time.
As this is for people on the cusp of buying (or at least potentially on the cusp), I’d add the possibility of the substantial federal EV tax credit coming back, presumably applicable to the vehicle. (Not necessarily advocating waiting or not, but just for the sake of the fullest possible “buying a Model Y” picture for people to consider.) Any guesses on probability and timing?
I would think this summer there will be a lot of action in Congress on these initiatives. I know there’s now at least 2 drafts for consideration
Really good point. I myself am one of those buyers potentially waiting for the EV Credit but I've heard that the bill is not very likely to pass. Don't know how true that is. I'm finding that it's really hard to wait months for something that could potentially not even pass so I want to pull the trigger now :(
@@maximus9401 I am in the same boat, but if they do not change the filibuster rules it's never getting through. Not happy about the price increases ether. My test drive of a Model 3 is today but with the price increase i am now considering the Model Y too.
@@maximus9401 I bet it takes quite a bit less to end a lease early than $7000, especially if someone intends to buy!? (I hear that this incentive may even apply to used EV’s...). Given the current situation causing buying hesitancy, Tesla should immediately implement a fair “lease to buy” program, enabling scooping up any upcoming incentive later.)
@@maximus9401 buy more Tesla stock NOW, wait a few months to see about tax credit. You win!
