Preparing for delivery of my 2023 Tesla Model Y

I go through the pre-delivery tasks, share the final price, talk about insurance, and go through a list of accessories I've gathered for the new car. Accessories include a specially-formatted SSD, a "hacked" GM EVSE, and more!

    I ordered my Model Y on January 15th and picked it up February 1st. I made the purchase as simple as possible; all cash, no trade in, no options. I'm very happy with how easy Tesla made the process, and I love the vehicle. Very happy and looking forward to the $7500 tax rebate.

    I ordered 1/13/23. Delivered on 2/3 Model Y (would have been faster, but I missed some paperwork). I did all cash like you; then 3 days before estimated delivery date; I added a trade-in. It didn't change my date at all. Same as you the process was really good (TBH, it was even better with my 2021 Model 3 - they drove it right to my driveway LOL).

    I am very happy your experience has been satisfactory... Mine has been a nightmare! My original delivery day was April 26th... Then they told me on April 26th 2 hours before scheduled delivery that my car would be scheduled the next Friday, May 3rd... Well, as of today it is May 6th and my car is nowhere to be found. My "Advisor" is not picking up her phone or responding to any communication I have sent. I am completely in limbo and NO ONE at Tesla is communicating with me. Heaven only knows when (or if) my car is even going to become a reality. The "wonderful" online experience of having seamless buying is a JOKE!!! If my dream of owning a Tesla ever does come true, the delivery experience has soured me to where I will have no joy when it comes.

    Awesome time Alex! Enjoy the delivery experience. I took delivery Feb. 2, and I just love the car. It is so much fun to drive. One "heads up" for you . I discovered at my delivery, the J1772 adapter did not come with the car, so they had to run to the service department to get me one. Also, I later discovered that mud flaps should have been included but were not. So I will make a service appointment to get mud flaps installed. Enjoy!

    Picking up our model y today as well! Super excited. I had one snag, my insurance policy was set to renew in 57 days, you have to show coverage for the next 60 days. Esurance couldn’t extend my coverage until a new policy offer was delivered. That wouldn’t be done until mid March. So I had to get all new insurance to move forward.

    my delivery was a massive disappointment. Was on an open trailer in winter in the NE. By the time it arrived it was covered with dirt and ice from the road, scratches everywhere in the paint. They didn't speak english-they were Russian dominant language speakers, the holders for the car were frozen and they couldn't get the car off the trailer. It was just a complete disaster. Tesla has to repaint my car which will take 3 months, so I will need a rental for that time. Just a complete disaster as I spent 750.00 more for the car to have it delivered home. I would strongly advise against this in the NE USA. For me I wasn't going to fly to NJ to drive back to Northern Vermont.
