Received 13 Piece TPE Floor Liner Set
The OEM floor liners go over $400 if you include the cargo mats. I decided to give this Aliexpress set a chance (was little nervous), and I think the quality is excellent. I can't say about the fitment yet because I have yet to take delivery of my YL (EDD: mid-Oct to early Nov).
This is a complete set that includes front, rear, and cargo mats with detachable carpet pieces. All for $200.
Here are some pictures I took right out of the box. I can't imagine the OEM liners being much better quality than this set.
Well my EDD got pushed back AGAIN
Ordered 8/30. White Zen 20" Houston. So tired of these dates changing.
Update: Delivery Tomorrow
Update from my post on Sunday. I got assigned a vin over the weekend and take delivery tomorrow.
Ordered: July 28
VIN Assigned: Oct 4
Delivery: Oct 7
Tesla Changed Acceleration Boost 0-60 Numbers
In early September, the number on the demo cars with the boost was 4.2. It was 4.4 without it. In late September, the number is 4.4 with the boost. A 0.2 sec difference may be trivial, but I wish Tesla could be more consistent and transparent about acceleration boost.
Regardless of whether it's included in the Launch Series or what the 0-60 numbers are, if AB is not included in the Launch Series, it shouldn't be on the demo cars of the same trim level.
I feel like Tesla is going to not actually give us AB but say it's included.
Asked for a quicker delivery day and succeeded!
Had delivery scheduled for Friday the 16th at 4pm and decided to ask my advisor if there was a possibility of an earlier delivery. They said that it was scheduled to arrive at the delivery center on the 12th, so they could get me in earlier than the 16th if I preferred that, so I said absolutely yes! They got me moved to Tuesday the 13th at noon. So, if you have a farther delivery day than you prefer, ASK! So glad I did!
Finally got my VIN!
Finally got my VIN assigned for a Model YL in SoCal! (ordered in 7.2,marine blue)
Curious how others here handled insurance and timing:
- Did you go with Tesla Insurance or a third-party policy? What are monthly rates looking like right now? (Got quoted ~$205/mo w/ $1k deductible).
- How long after getting a VIN did the app let you schedule the pickup date?
Thanks for any insights!
Interior Camera View
For those who have not had a chance to see the car in person, here is an inside view from the cabin camera. It’s plenty spacious. Took my family of 4 plus grandparents on 3 hour roadtrip. We had a medium size suit case, a carryon, and three back packs. Kids aged 12 and 8 and we all fit very comfortably.
Will the 2027 MY get any of the features of the YL?
I am looking to buy a Model Y Premium AWD. I really like some of the new features that were introduced on the Model YL but don't really need the larger size or extra seats. It makes sense that Tesla would include some of those features on the 2027 Model Y.
Some of the YL features that I'd like Tesla to include on the 2027 Model Y Premium:
Zen Grey Interior Option
New front seats with Thigh Extenders and Adjustable Headrests
AC Vents on the door pillars for the 2nd row
Improved roof tint (30% less solar energy entering cabin)
Rear cup holders in the console
Electronic variable shock absorbers (with rear comfort switch)
Hands Free Cargo Liftgate
Magnetic catch for Cargo Cover
etc.
Any thoughts on whether you think Teslas will do this based on what they have done in the past. I'm new to the Tesla world, so don't know if this is something they typically do.
Got my VIN in San Diego
Cosmic silver/zen grey/20 inch
Ordered July 2.
I’m so excited!!
Ultra Red
Wondering if anyone has gotten a VIN for a MYL Ultra Red yet.
Model YL missing acceleration boost
Anyone else realize their model Y L is missing the acceleration boost ?
Quicksilver Model 3 vs Cosmic Silver YL: back to back impressions after going fully electric
Funny to think that at the beginning of the year we had zero EVs, and now we’re fully electric ⚡️😂
I finally drove our Quicksilver Model 3 and Cosmic Silver YL back to back, and they really have two different personalities.
The Model 3 sits lower, feels lighter, and is definitely more playful. Ours has 18 inch wheels and is not a Performance model, but the suspension still feels more sports car like. It is smooth, just firmer and more eager to be tossed around.
The YL surprised me in a different way. Even with the 20-inch wheels, the suspension is buttery smooth. It handles bumps much more calmly, feels significantly quieter, and still has plenty of power and fun when you want it.
For me, the Model 3 is more fun when I just want to drive. The YL is the easy winner for family life. Three kids, grandma, child seats, captain’s chairs, strong AC, ventilated seats, and everyone finally has their own space.
And FSD is a huge part of the ownership experience for us too. Once you get used to having that extra layer of assistance on longer drives and in everyday traffic, it becomes one of those features you really miss when you get into something that does not have it.
We really appreciated the YL after selling our CX 9 and spending a couple weeks trying to make the whole family work in the Model 3. My 11 year old especially loved being sandwiched between two child seats 😂
I also like having both silver colors. Quicksilver was originally what I wished the YL came in because matching twins would have been fun, but Cosmic Silver has definitely grown on me. They each have their own character.
Right now the Cosmic Silver YL still feels pretty unique around here too. I have not seen another YL on the road in my area yet.
Never thought we would switch this quickly from gas cars we genuinely enjoyed, but Tesla gave us something we did not want to compromise on: form, function, family space, FSD, and still something enjoyable to drive.
Does yl have power to home?
This just came out today,
Instructions are

If your Model 3 or Model Y is capable of Powershare, the ‘Powershare Support’ toggle will be enabled.
Could someone see if their yl says it’s capable?
YL rear liftgate sunshade
Has anyone tried this OEM sunshade? How’s the visibility of the rear window from your rearview mirror?
Anyone else have trouble installing OEM roof shade?
Finding it near impossible to tuck all four sides of the shade into the headliner. Usually get 3 out of 4 until another side pops out. Anyone else having trouble with theirs? Assuming it’s just a skill issue on my end, appreciate any tips!
And…which side is supposed to be top vs bottom?
Guess my Number plate???
I just ordered this in CA…
How good/bad was this decision???
