For now the new Junipers have a premium until they clean out old inventory.

Just preordered the new Model Y. I've been in a Jeep for a decade, so going to the other end of the spectrum in many ways - gas, noise, and tech for sure. Delivery sometime in March!
Did Tesla quote you insurance by chance? That's one item that i am concerned about, more so with the older model. I would like to see how the redesign impacted rates.
Not yet - waiting on the vin and then I'll compare Tesla insurance and USAA. Tesla offers a modest discount for using FSD often, and that interests me. I can certainly share an update when I compare.
I just order a model y(old.model) for pickup on Sunday. Insurance was cheaper than Tesla through my current provider (USAA).
A friend of mine has a Tesla, but I don't know the specs, nor her opinion of it, and I'm not personally familiar with the brand.
Are you familiar with the Toyota 4Runner or Nissan Kicks though?
Yes. I have a 4R Limited and my wife has a Kicks.
Good to know. Thanks for contributing
One last question - did you only have to pay the 250 and the balance will be due upon delivery?

$250 + any accessories you include in your order. As an example, I went ahead and got a wall charger. I was charged at checkout on Friday, and the wall charger arrived on Monday.
Getting a Model X without stalk. I love the stalk and this was one of the few negatives but like everything else, I will get used to it and then wonder why we even have a stalk.
Anyhow, Tesla takes a little bit of time getting used to. Once you get used to voice command, you will wonder why there are even buttons on cars. Drive my Wife's ICE and I spend as much time trying to find the right knobs and buttons.
On the Tesla, I can't think of much I could not do with voice command or wheel buttons. You can turn on wipers, change wiper speed, change fan speed, change temp, change volume, turn on cabin lights.
plus even when I need to touch the screen, it is just as fast as finding buttons.

Taking my Tesla S in for servicing at The Woodlands tomorrow. Anything I need to know or should be prepared for?
Service reason is a rotten egg smell when the ac/vents kick on. Seems to be a common issue - Anyone familiar?

Correct I had about a week of time between placing the order and picking my delivery date and I had to finalize the financing (very easy through Tesla), link a bank account via Plaid for the down payment, and upload insurance information, all done through Tesla.com and/or the Tesla app. There were a few agreements to e-sign as well, then I picked my delivery date, showed up, they handed me the key card and said thanks.Ag In Ok said:

I think you should get a free loaner if it's a warranty issue, but I didn't get one when I had to get my charge port replaced (warranty) and a new windshield. Maybe line up a demo drive at the same time lol.EvenPar said:

Wait, maybe I need to take mine in as I get the rotten egg smell too. Are they covering it under warranty?

App shows an estimate of less than $100 and less than 2 hours to fix. I'm willing to pay and be on my way. Was just curious if anyone else has had this issue fixed before.
Have a question for those that have done long road trips. If you get the battery down to say 15%, how long would you stay at a super charger to get another 2ish hours of driving? We generally stop every 2-2.5 hours to stretch and get snacks and whatever. Just wondering if it would add a ton of time to our trip. With a gas station stop we are usually looking at 10-15 min of stoppage to fill up and do all the other stuff.
I can charge from 20ish to close to 80 percent in about 25 minutes at a 250kw charger, which is around maybe 200 miles of drive time. You'll charge faster the lower you battery is charged so 20-60 is around the same time at 60-80.BQ2001 said:

For a Bucees stop, I can use the restroom, grab a taco & coffee, pay, walk the 1/2 miles back across the parking lot, eat my taco, and my phone is usually telling me that I'll have to pay idle fees soon.
I've seen screen shots with charging approaching 1,000 drive miles per hour of charge but I've only had mine get up to a little over 500. Example I saw online:

Rotten egg smell is the small battery. Sulfur.
Out of Spec 10% Challenge
Start at 10% SoC
Charge 15 minutes
Drive 80 mph until SoC is 10% again
Tesla Model 3 and Y long range traveled around 100 miles during the test. Porsche Taycan 193 miles (higher pack voltage, better charging curve, etc). Model S falls some where in between.

This is typical of the AC system. You have to buy some Kool-it, plus/minus replace the cabin filter, spray it in and it is gone for 4-6 months. The old model took maybe 30 min to do. The last time I did it with my MY, took 10 min.EvenPar said:

typically smell goes away after about 2-5 minutes. Learn to do it at home because its quick.
Anyone got a referral code they wanna send my way?
What are you getting? I don't have one, just curious. Waiting on my new model y sometime in march.
Just noticed Drumboy had one in his sig
Probably going to place an order next week for Launch series Y. Ultra red which is close enough to maroon for me.

Nice! I'm picking mine up tomorrow. First Tesla. Ultra red, helix 20" wheels.
Got my 3 (2025 RWD) on Saturday. Coming from the BMW world, and I'm pretty impressed so far. I wanted a comfortable car that was fun to drive, and I was tried of paying $3.25+ a gallon for premium fuel. After spending a grip on replacing my a radiator and turbo lines in my 5 series, it was time to move on and try something new.
First, with heavy steering turned on, it handles exceptionally well compared to my prior 3 series and 5 series cars. I've had both xDrives and RWD cars, and I learned to opt for the RWD because it was more fun to drive. This little guy is up there. I love the way I can tuck the nose in without all the weight upfront for some really tight lines cornering at speed. I'd say it's pretty tight, but not so tight that it's uncomfortable.
Second, it's crazy zippy, too. Way faster than the 330i or 530i, and comparable (if not better) than the old 340 v6 model. Considering this is a "base model" vehicle, that's insane. It's not M3 or M5 (BMW) fast, but it's not far off. And it's like $40,000 cheaper than a new M3 or M5. Bonkers. Obviously, I haven't driven it much yet, but I can't wait to drive it more. When I have, the instant torque is something else. To be on a highway behind a slow car and change lanes without have to find a kickdown switch in your gas pedal and jump to a lower gear is something else.
Third, this is a different experience. I feel like I'm driving a cross between a golf cart and a space ship. Getting the settings dialed in will be important. No key fob is weird, but I think I like it. I need to get over my "lock on walk away" anxiety and just trust the car to do it's business. Adding a lock sound helped immensely.
Finally, the interior is pretty spartan. I miss some of the luxury finishes I got from the BMWs, but that seems like part of the tradeoff on the costs. I'm irritated that I had to go to the secondary market for things like console trays and the whatnot, but those are $20 bites for the most part. For what is in there, it feels nice and well put together. Seams/gaskets seem nicely installed and of decent quality. It's far quieter than I expected.
Pretty excited to see what Autopilot adds to my commute in the morning. So far, so good on EV life. We'll see how the next several years go.

You sure you had a bmw...?
Ha! STRAIGHT 6. Hand up accountability.
Did you drive the performance model?
That's what I was going to get, but the sales rep talked me out it when he found out I was leasing ("I doubt you'll be taking a lease vehicle on the track, and really all you're going to do is burn up tires.")
Speaking of, it was the weirdest process of my life. Arguably very, very easy. I'm just used to haggling for hours and having every option offered while choking down a stale cup of coffee.

I'm trying to hold out for the new model X instead of ordering the Y. I feel like Tesla is taking the Apple approach to new product announcements.
Picked up my model y launch edition today. Everything works great. No surprises there. But the FSD - holy cow. I picked it up at 1960 and 290. I enabled full self drive on the 290 on ramp and didn't touch the wheel again until I got to my house in Needville. It handled 290 to the beltway to 59 out to the boonies perfectly. I don't care what other posters say, this is the future.
That's awesome!
So what was the insurance cost / compared to what an older Y would be or any other reference?
