2024 Tesla Model Y — 50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke?

GarageDaily513Community StarterOct 13, 20252024 Tesla Model Y Long RangeDenver
I just crossed 50k miles and want to log maintenance, unscheduled repairs, tire life, fuel economy, dealer visits, annoyances and whether I would buy the same car again. I am in Denver.

Compare apples to apples or you'll get spun. Call your insurer in Denver before you fall in love with the 2024 Tesla Model Y. If they balk, that's your answer. This is from a 2024 Tesla Model Y in Denver. That's the sequence I'd use. PPI guy I use is booked until next week, so I'm waiting.

Get the messy numbers in writing first. Keep sale price, trade, and financing split on the 2024 Tesla Model Y so a “good payment” cannot bury a worse deal. If they balk, that's your answer. On “50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2024 Tesla Model Y in Denver. Just my two cents from doing this recently. If they get vague again I'm shopping the deal elsewhere.

OP update: I got two written quotes on the 2024 Tesla Model Y and the out-the-door gap is bigger than the ads made it look. I screenshotted the quote for later.

Don't send a deposit on a phone quote. If one piece looks too good on the 2024 Tesla Model Y, hunt doc fees, accessories, and the APR next. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. This is from a 2024 Tesla Model Y in Denver. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. Not wiring anything in the meantime.

Walk if they won't put it on a buyer’s order. In Denver, insurance quotes flipped a 2024 Tesla Model Y comparison for me more than the sale price did. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. No need to make it theatrical. Your commute and mine probably aren't the same, but the test still applies. Going to compare one more dealer before I decide.

Hard-won lesson from my last deal: Call your insurer in Denver before you fall in love with the 2024 Tesla Model Y. Do that before you talk monthly again. On “50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. That's my plan before I call anyone.

I'd want competing paper, not competing stories. Ask for out-the-door on the 2024 Tesla Model Y with fees, add-ons, and rate on separate lines. I'd rather lose the car than buy a foggy deal. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

PPI is scheduled. I'm not depositing until I see the 2024 Tesla Model Y notes. Not letting add-ons ride along because everyone does.

Compare apples to apples or you'll get spun. Call your insurer in Denver before you fall in love with the 2024 Tesla Model Y. Do that before you talk monthly again. Stop there until you know. PPI guy I use is booked until next week, so I'm waiting.

I hear you, though I'd still want a second check. A written buyer’s order on the 2024 Tesla Model Y is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” If they balk, that's your answer. On “50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

I'd slow the salesperson down here. I would not wire money until I've seen the 2024 Tesla Model Y and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. Then the comparison gets honest. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. If the title is messy I'm out, full stop.

Treat this like a math problem, not a vibe. Ask for out-the-door on the 2024 Tesla Model Y with fees, add-ons, and rate on separate lines. If they balk, that's your answer. That's the sequence I'd use. PPI guy I use is booked until next week, so I'm waiting.

OP here. Still looking, but I'm waiting on inspection notes before I send money on the 2024 Tesla Model Y. Going to compare one more dealer before I decide.

Don't send a deposit on a phone quote. I would not wire money until I've seen the 2024 Tesla Model Y and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. Calling insurance in the morning before I reply to the desk.
