Congrats on your MYP! We got our YLR this past Saturday and have really enjoyed it. Our is an Austin unit



and the overall build quality was good. I didn't see anything big at all or worth noting. I didn't take a bunch of close-up pics, but here's a few below. Only issue we've had so far is a BMS_a036 error which from my googling research has something to do with the 12 volt battery, high voltage battery, or a drive unit issue. Appointment is in a few weeks as they had to proactively "order parts" when I reported the issue through the app and requested service. The error is sporadic and it does warn that the vehicle "may not restart", but it's been running great and charging fine. So, unless it bricks, we will keep driving as normal until 4/20 when our appt is supposed to be.

haha! My wife does see about 15 of them every time she drives around. I'm going to have to put a big pink dot on the hood and hatch so I can pick her out around town.

I kinda want a Model S Plaid in that new red color, but not willing to give up my BW for it. If someone steals my TRX (they are highly pilferable apparently), then I'll probably order a Plaid as a daily beater.

Model s/x are on sale so you have that excuse.

I want a Subaru BRZ Limited 6MT, but we don’t have anymore space for it

I don't understand why everyone just goes with the white. Paying $60k+ for a car and seems like few people want to drop an additional $1000 to pick another color?

My SIL texted me the other week, that they were getting a Tesla. She just said Tesla. I said, White Model Y? Her response "how did you know?"

The pearl white looks pretty good. It wasn't a cost thing to us, it was getting the color the wife wanted. Heck, we paid $1k for the white interior. She wanted white/white. It's her car, so whatever.
