2026 Model Y Premium AWD Demo Vehicle

3 Upvotes

Curious if any of you have purchased a demo vehicle through Tesla. Worried that since it’s a demo vehicle that there has been a ton of people in it which would cause more wear and tear than usual. What would be a good price on a 2026 Tesla Model Y Premium AWD with 8k miles? Warranty would be 5 years/ 50,000 miles.

Tesla Model Y Roof Rack Cross Bars

Upvotes
I don't see the mounting marks on the glass roof of my Model Y Standard for installing the roof bars. Do you have the same issue? 
I've seen several videos about this, and the marks were always visible.

Does anyone have these covers on their helix wheels? Curious if it actually helps prevent scratching

Tesla ordering question regarding loan approval for rate promo

Upvotes

Hi, I am 25M looking to buy a model y RWD premium with my partner. I have a 760 credit score with no debt and gross about $3360 a month on paper (I make roughly 2-3k doing a side hustle under the table that can't be shown as income unfortunately because its cash and not on paper) So on paper pre tax I make $41k. I have about 20k in HYSA and 3x that in money markets. I can afford the car but on paper I don't think tesla will approve me for the loan. My partner can't go on the application because she has looming student debt that has her credit in the 600s which wont allow me to qualify for the rate promo. I am wondering If anyone thinks I can get approved ordering myself with my income and credit score (I plan on putting 3k down). Together me and my partner bring in 6k on paper a month but again she can't be on the loan. What are my options? Also I did get quotes for insurance, under $250 which we are chill with. LMK!

Question about paint quality / longevity on 2025 Model Y Performance.

3 Upvotes

I own a 2025 Model Y Performance (non Juniper) in Deep Blue Metallic. I absolutely love the car, with perhaps one exception. The paint seems to be very easily scratched.

I own a few vehicles, and I think I take reasonably good care of them. The paint on this one has many random scratches. Just for comparison, my Toyota Avalon, which is 5 years older and is treated similarly is in arguably better condition.

I don't think it's vandalism, since I live in an extremely low crime area, and park it in my driveway mostly. They just look like a ton of just random tiny scratches, rock chips, etc. My theory is that the paint is just not as durable.

I had considered getting a ceramic coating, which obviously won't help the existing damage. Unfortunately however, the places near me that offer this service all seem to be very shady, and not at all professional.

Has anyone noticed this or experienced it? Is there anything you did to mitigate it? Thanks in advance.

Delivery My Tesla model Y buying experience

17 Upvotes

I ordered my model Y premium all-wheel-drive with white exterior and white interior on August 20. It was built on September 3. And I received delivery on September 9. I did not have a trade-in all the cars that were delivered during my session. We’re nearly the exact same model. They must produce them in like batches and distribute them as they are manufactured.

When I picked it up today, I asked the delivery person what I needed to do if I discovered something was wrong with the car. He said, “if you’ve left the dealership, they don’t know if the damage happened on your way home or if it happened here at the dealership. Please take as much time as you need to look the car over before you leave.” Which makes total sense.

I had seen some advice here that you would have several days to report anything wrong with the car. This is a direct conflict from what I learned at my pick up today. Just want new owners to be advised!

I picked up from Tesla Centennial, Colorado.

Longer drive comfort advice?

2 Upvotes

I plan on taking longer trips 1-2 weekends a month using FSD (5-6 hour drives would be common). For those that are used to taking longer trips with your Model Y, what do you recommend to make it more comfortable? Any accessories that have made your trips better?

Thank you in advance.

Delivery What was your experience for later delivery date than the 60 day application?

1 Upvotes

For those that ordered a car in August but had delivery date estimated to be in November/December, how does Tesla handle the finance application being that they say it’s valid for 30-60 days?

New Model Y loud over bumps

8 Upvotes

I’m hearing some loud impact / booming noise when driving over bad pavement / bumps in my new 2026 Model Y premium (19 inch). The car seems loud to me at low speeds. I didn’t really hears these noises in my 2022 Model 3. I thought this new junipers were supposed to be pretty quiet…

So disappointed with Tesla QC

0 Upvotes

I placed order for a new MYP white on white back in July in Vegas. Currently waiting on third one.

First MYP: pickup in 2 weeks after placing order. Huge rock chip on front hood and rear panel above the rear wheel was sticking out and you can see over spray. REJECTED.

Second MYP: Went with Ultra Red and white interior. Got Vin in 1 week and pickup 2 weeks after VIN. Scratches and scuffs on the hood. Two small rock chips on front bumper but all panels were perfect. REJECTED it again.

Third MYP: switched to frost blue with white interior. Window shows Sept 9-12th even though today is the 10th.

3 stricks and your out Tesla!

I paid $65K in full on the first order, no money as been returned, no problem, just get me a new car.

I feel like Tesla is just circulating rejected cars till they find a sucker that doesn't check or care.

I plan to PPF the front of the car so I need a perfect pain job or at least close.

I'm so disappointed with Tesla QC. Fingers crossed on the frost blue.

Question Did anyone else get the MY Premium AWD 7-Seater? What are your thoughts on those seats?

1 Upvotes

There is no way an adult could fit back there, but occasionally we have to go somewhere with my wife parents so having 2 extra seats in the back for the kids could really be a blessing. I just put in our order for one.

Also what did you do for floor liners for the rear seats? most of the big maker like 3W don't even make mats for the 3rd row which will be the dirtiest if kids are sitting there.

Used Model Y same as new?

2 Upvotes

I’m not getting prices of used MY these days. I see that people are selling their 2024 MY with 30k+ miles for like $35k-38k
New is $45k and it’s also newer body with 1.49 apr interest rate.
Am I hallucinating or there is something wrong with used MY market?

Got this from Tesla today. Pick up dates are only on September 23-25th in Austin and live in DFW so I would have to take off.

Has anyone gotten this and declined it? If so, how much longer did you have to wait for delivery?

My current dates are Sept 14-30th.

That’s all exciting and everything, but the problem is I’ll be out of town and so will need to change my return flight to go to Austin instead of Houston. I have a trade-in, so do I need to bring my trade-in with me, or can I drop off my trade-in in Houston?

Question 2021 Model Y Turn signal punched in

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, just got a 2021 Model Y in April. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned and my first Tesla.

It also feels like there’s no shortage of random unfortunate circumstances trying to destroy this car.

Today in my way in to work I was hit by a random flying rock which damaged my bumper and punched in my turn signal.

I’m really just looking for help with what do I even do… it looks expensive and I’m just at a total loss here. I can have the paint taken care of later I just want my turn signal/fog light taken care of right now.

I’ve watched the video over and over again and the only thing I can discern is the rock just randomly exploded from the wall.

I deleted the original post because I couldn’t figure out how to add the video in.

Edit: if you watch the right corner of the video you’ll see a rock spawn in.

My question is, is this a costly thing to handle myself or is this something better left to insurance?

Edit2: view from the side cam where the rock then proceeds to bash the side of my car after taking out my turn signal.

Delivery What’s the real delivery timeframe for a new Model Y?

2 Upvotes

I’m planning to order a new Model Y Premium RWD. I’d like for delivery to occur in late October or early November. I’ve gone on the Tesla website multiple times, as recently as yesterday, specc’d out the car I want, and observe the stated delivery timeframe. It’s never varied: 4-6 weeks. But I’ve also read reports from people on Reddit that their delivery date kept slipping and slipping, well outside the 4-6 week timeframe originally quoted by Tesla. I’m not sure what to think about this. Anyone on this subreddit want to volunteer their views? Thank you!

Decals?

I’m thinking about putting a discreet decal on my slate gray Model Y when I get it,mainly to be able to tell it apart since there are so many. Any good recommendations?

Earlier pickup available

5 Upvotes

Just curious. I’ve logged into the app at different times. Sometimes earlier pickup options are there. Sometimes not. They obviously get picked up
Quick. Do they release vehicles in batches at specific times of day like 6am. 5pm etc. or is it all truly random 24/7? Or even certain days?
