"Our new Tesla Model Y"

A New Car!

We decided recently to go ahead and sell our pre-owned Tesla Model S and get a new Model Y. We happened to order during a very busy time for Tesla. It also happens to currently be their most popular car. Amazingly we only had to wait about 5 weeks for our car to arrive. The process was mostly smooth. Our initial delivery date was delayed a couple of days. I can't image the logistic complexity of shipping cars all over the country.

What we ordered

  • Tesla Model Y
  • Long Range All-Wheel Drive
  • Red Multi-Coat
  • 19" Gemini Wheels
  • Basic Autopilot
  • All Black Premium Interior

There were no major issues at all with the delivery. There might be a small door gap issue with the trunk, but it's barely noticeable and does not appear to be causing any issues. There might be an issue with the passenger side front door. It seems a little harder to close sometimes. We'll give it a week to see if it continues. Overall, we are super happy with this vehicle. It's better than the older Model S, and super fun to drive. I can't wait to take some longer trips in it. We will likely drive it to Walt Disney World later this year. We did make one trip in the Model S to Disney, and that went well but we will be able to stop fewer times in this long range Y.

Accessories we are getting

  • 3D Max Spider floor mats
  • Evannex screen protector
  • Under seat storage drawer
  • Extra Gen 2 Mobile Connector Bundle - one at the house, one in the car
  • Nema Adapter Bundle

I'm still really not sure about doing paint protection wrap. It's very expensive. I might watch some videos on doing it yourself. Not so sure about that yet.

Getting back to some sort of normal

We were really very careful and cautious over the last year and a half. We mostly stayed home and did curbside everything. We wore our masks and saw nearly no one. We also cancelled multiple trips we had planned. It was easier for us than for many people. I can work from home and we don't have children to worry about.

We have been fully vaccinated for a while now.

We have been testing our limits over the last few weeks. We have been out a few times to places like the mall, Walmart, and have started going to some grocery stores in person again. We even ate at an indoor restaurant for the first time in over a year. It has all been very strange. Getting used to being around people again is the hard part. Some of us are still wearing masks when around lots of people indoors. Though we are starting to get more comfortable with the idea of trusting the vaccine. The only thing that felt bad this weekend was when a small child was coughing aa bunch near us. :( He probably should not have been in a public space with that cough. We walked away quickly.

Stay home

Hopefully we will feel more comfortable by the time we go on our upcoming Walt Disney World trip. Disney has been slowly relaxing all of their mask and distancing restrictions, so it may be almost back to some sort of normal by the time we go. I'm just not sure if we will be feeling normal yet.
