Tesla Model Y: The biggest game changer yet?
John Kleven • Mar 17, 2020
The FIRST mid priced SUV with some real world range...
At a quick glance, it looks kind of like a Model 3 and a Model X had a baby. The Model Y actually shares about 75% of it's components with the Model 3. This creates a lot of cost savings for Tesla and puts the Model Y at a very fair price. With 316 miles of range and a 0-60 time of 4.8 seconds. All of this in an SUV package with gobs of storage space, a full glass roof and soon will be available in 3 rows of seating. I think the new Model Y will handily outsell the Model 3 simply based on it's usability. America loves it's SUV's!
You now know that you want one, what's the next step?
Get your order in...
If you haven't ordered a Tesla before, you're in for a treat. The process of test driving, purchasing, scheduling services and even owning the car are so unique compared to any other brand of vehicle I have ever owned. The test drive will definitely get you excited, normal vehicles just don't offer this type of smooth yet drama free acceleration. The purchase is straight forward, no silly games like they play at the other dealerships pulling out a 4 square sheet of paper trying to sell you on a monthly payment. You just order the car you want, the way you want it on the website. If your Tesla ever does need to be serviced or a warranty repaired, their friendly staff will give you a loaner car for the day, and sometimes they'll just come straight to your home or work and fix it on the spot. Here comes the best part.... Owning a Tesla is amazing. It doesn't hit you on the first day or even the first week. It takes some time to get a feel for the car, learn all of it's tricks and luxuries that are disguised under it's elementary looking interior. The real pleasures and luxuries of this car are the software that makes everything work just right. The autopilot, one pedal driving and incredibly intuitive touch screen display are just a few that come to mind.
What do I need to know for my delivery?
When taking delivery, it's critically important to inspect the vehicle for damages, defects in the paintwork and panel alignments. The good news is that this is a service that we provide at zero charge to you, learn more here New Car Delivery Inspection. Once you have a delivery date and time set, simply give us a call and I can meet you for your delivery and make sure everything is in good order. This can save us both a bunch of time and headaches in the case that we find defects that need to be repaired prior to any protection applied.
What should I protect on my new Model Y?
Tesla has long proven themselves to have some of the softest paint in the business. Paint Protection Film is the very best protection that can be applied. STEK DYNOshield's revolutionary HYDROphobe topcoat is not only incredibly hydrophobic, but also self healing against light surface scratches and has amazing clarity and gloss.
The front end of the vehicle is definitely a high impact zone, this includes the full hood, full fenders, front bumper, headlights foglights and mirrors. When installing this film, we work vigorously to hide as many seams as we can by wrapping the film around the edges of the hood, fenders and bumper. When you don't see the seams, you really don't notice the film on the car. What you will notice is how nicely your front end will look even after years of service.
The rear bumper is also a high impact zone as debris kicked up from the rear tires and also unforgiving parallel parkers can sometimes cause nicks and bruises.
If you're looking for the ultimate protection, a full body wrap is the very best as it will not only protect all of the exterior paint from chips and damage, but you can fully take advantage of the film's self healing and hydrophobic properties. This is the easiest to maintain finish that can be applied to your car.
Did you know we can also protect your center console with DYNOshield, DYNOmatt or DYNOcarbon? The factory piano black finish on your Model Y is very susceptible to scratching. By applying paint protection film, you can be confident your console will look great for years.
What about a ceramic coating?
We fully support ceramic coatings. Ceramic coatings will provide you with a tremendous gloss, a super easy to clean and maintain finish and great protection from environmental staining such as bird droppings, insects, etc. Instead of a full body wrap, a lot of people will protect the most high impact areas of the vehicle with paint protection film to protect against rock chips and debris that is kicked up and damages the paint. A ceramic coatings can go over all of your film and paint to create an easy to clean and maintain finish. Ceramic coatings can be a stand alone product also but don't provide real world protection when it comes to rock chips and scratches.
What are the benefits of window tint?
Your Model Y comes with some factory applied tint on your rear doors and all of the rear glass on the car but not the two front window. We can tint just your front two doors for a more uniform look which is much less expensive than tinting the entire vehicle. This will provide you some level of privacy and provide UV blocking. UV will not only fade the interior of your vehicle, but it will also harm your skin. If you're looking for heat protection, we offer an array of window tints that can provide major heat protection even with little shade at all.

Hand washing is valued because it is gentle to the finish. Some people believe that hand washing is a great excuse to give your car a great scrubbing. However, this isn't the reason why car enthusiasts hand wash their vehicles. Think about it this way, an automated wash is a one size fits all solution that rarely fits where as hand washing is specific to your vehicle.

While , modern paint protection films have become so clear and glossy they literally look like they disappear onto the paint when they're applied correctly. You can get a clear bra that's fast and cheap, or you can pay a proper price for a good installation to get something that lasts. Many installers choose to use a computer templated pattern that is designed to easily "fit" on whichever vehicle you choose. This is the fastest way to have film installed. However, this does not offer any real level of hand tailored design or installation and the edges of the film, however, are also different story. Paint protection film is a three-dimensional object, although thin and transparent, you will still notice edges. How can an installation be so much different? It's much like how a properly hand-fitted suit will, of course, fit light-years better than something ordered online with hopes that it follows your exact body shape. I always recommend to have precision fit protection! So, if you like how your car looks like when it's new, you'll definitely appreciate a clear bra when it's old. Paint protection film is truly the only way to have a barrier of protection where nothing actually touches your paint.

Sitting in traffic Is no longer a stressful chore. Tesla Autopilot truly improved my quality of life. Zero emissions helps to justify my constant giggling at the full throttle acceleration from light to light. You really can't buy a better car. Tesla leads the way in battery tech, and awareness of going green when it comes to vehicle choice. BUT… They are very much infants when it comes building cars and it shows……
