June is basically 3W giveaway month. So, if you want to join in, definitely stay tuned where we'll talk about all the different giveaways that are happening right now.

[00:00:36]You can say hi, you can say hello, you can say whatever you want to say, and then once we get to 67 likes, we'll pick a live winner live on stream. But this first topic, we're going to talk about how Tesla has finally released, has maybe finally admitted to a known issue that the brand new Tesla Model Y has had. I've heard it. I've heard it on both of our Tesla vehicles. I even heard it on our Laner vehicle today. And this might be the fix to make it a lot less uh less clunky. We'll give it that. So, we're going to get into that, plus a variety of topics. But before we do that, let's roll that intro really quick.

[00:01:16]All right, so thanks for watching another stream. Thanks for watching another video. My name is Dennis and I just like deals. I like Tesla deals and much more. If you're about to pick up your brand new Tesla, definitely check out our delivery checklist down below on our website. It gives you everything you need to inspect with your brand new Tesla and it tells you what you need to do in the event you find something wrong with your Tesla. So definitely check it out on our website, dennisw.com. And thank you to everybody that's purchased a checklist in the past and in the future. Today's live stream is partnered with 3W. There's a lot of different accessories, a lot of different floor mats out there, and a lot of them are BS and a waste of money, but 3W comes to the plate with quality all-w weather floor mats at a fantastic price, especially if you use promo code Dennis 35, you get a massive 35% off. So, if you're looking for a floor mat that has lifetime warranty, perfect fitment, and we're actually giving away a handful of these. Link down below in the description for more information.

[00:02:09]We'll give you the full details. Uh, but more on that later. Tesla has finally maybe admitted to a known issue to the Tesla Model Y, the brand new Model Y, the Juniper Tesla Model Y, of a front suspension clunking noise that has been happening for a bit. I actually heard it on my launch series Model Y, and I heard it on our Model Y performance as well.

[00:02:30]It doesn't bother me as much, but if you are looking to buy a Model Y, this is something you need to be aware about. If you've already owned a Model Y, like a lot of you already have picked up one, you should also be aware of this. Shout out to Nick for posting this and finding this because this is actually pretty old. And I can't believe this got slipped through and has lasted because this was actually posted on May 8th, which is actually pretty funny to see here. It looks like Tesla has recently released service bulletins to address the common Juniper Model Y front suspension noises that have people have been complaining about. And this has been well documented in the forums and I guess Tesla, you know, you have to you have to leave it to Tesla because they do have to kind of like vet some of these different things and try and figure out what is the actual known issue and replace certain parts before they can release it companywide or nationwide so that people can actually fix it. But here's the condition. So you might be hearing this yourself. Certain Model Y vehicles may emit a rattling or knocking noise when driving over bumps or rough road. The condition can be improved by replacing the front upper control arm mounts, replacing the front damper assemblies, and removing the wiper bracket and pencil braces. This document is for vehicles that have already had the front upper control mounts replaced and the wipeway bracker pencil braces removed. So, this is if you don't know where this is coming from, it's actually for me I when I notice it, it's coming from like the left side, driver side, the front area, wheel area, and you'll hear it kind of make like this knocking noise like a kind of like that noise. It's It's very very subtle. You have to really listen to it and uh it doesn't necessarily bother bother me too much, but you can hear it. If like windows are up and volume and music is all the way down, then you might be able to hear it.

[00:04:09]Here's the second one, which is the replace suspension components. Quote, "Some Model Y vehicles may emit a rattling or knocking noises when driving over bumps or rough road. The condition can be improved by releasing the front armor control arm mounts, replacing the front damper assemblies, uh and removing the wiper bracket pencil braces. it seems like seem like the same between the two of them. But of course, there's different parts that are is the for for the correction here on how it actually is done here. So, if you've got this issue, how you can address it, it's pretty simple actually. If you feel like you have the issue, you can try and record a video and when you open that service ticket, you can actually put in the Tesla service bulletin number. So, this first one is SB2631003 and the second one is SB2531005.

[00:04:56]And that will help your advisor, that will help the technicians try and see because you got to think about there's so many different bulletins probably out there and a lot of different knowledge and if you help them point them in the right direction, then maybe they will be able to be able to get you set up and fix for your Tesla vehicle uh much quicker than uh before. And so certainly very interesting to see this. And so if you're looking to be upgrading from your older vehicle to this one, you should definitely be aware of some of these different things. All in all, the new Model Y is pretty much like very good.

[00:05:25]There's no other known issues, no big issues. Suspension, which I mean, they made the suspension a lot better. So, I'm okay with a little here and there, a little bit of noises if the suspension is just so much more comfortable like it has been over the older one. I mean, speaking of older ones, if you're looking to sell your older Tesla, your older electric vehicle, definitely check out Plug down below in the description.

[00:05:44]They want to buy it. They want to buy it nationwide, and they're doing out some of the highest offers out there. We've seen some of the offers. It could be three, four, five, $6,000 over everybody else. So definitely check out Plug down below in the description. They'll buy your vehicle nationwide. They'll get you an offer within 15 minutes and they'll buy your vehicle within 2 days. Like definitely don't sell your vehicle to Tesla. You might as well check out Plug down below in the description. But let us know what your thoughts on and let us know if you've had your full suspension replaced or if it's peacemeal or if it's one by one. I certainly can understand it can get pretty annoying like all the different things. But you got to remember like Tesla vehicles are a lot more quieter because there is no engine noise and vibration. So, it does feel like at certain times there is more noises that you can hear, but um you know, certainly it's just because it's a lot more quieter that we all are got like a better ear for listening uh to some of the different noises in there.

[00:06:36]But let us know what your thoughts on.

[00:06:38]Let us know what you're thinking. And one way to upgrade your Tesla vehicle is to get some 3W all-w weatherather floor mats because there's a lot of accessories out there that are a waste of money, but all-weather floor mats, especially if you get them at the right price, are definitely worth it. Our favorites are 3W. Especially when you use promo code Dennis 35, you get a massive 35% off. So, if you're looking for a floor mat that has lifetime warranty, perfect fitment. Like, why buy Tesla's version that's only three piece for $240 when you can get 3W's for the 35% off promo code, which is higher than their website code for nine whole pieces as you can see here. So, definitely check out 3W down below in the description.

[00:07:17]Okay, so we do have a giveaway today. a lot of different announcements. So, the first one is, of course, just like how we do on our daily live streams, we will be giving away a Cyber Cab windup racer.

[00:07:27]How you can enter into this one is very simple. You all you have to do is hit that like button and just be active in the chat. You can say hi, you can say hello, you can say whatever you want to say, and then once we get to 67 likes, we'll pick a live winner live on stream.

[00:07:42]The second giveaway is actually in our most recent 3W all weather formats video. I'll post it right here in the chat so you can join in. Uh you basically have a week and a half to enter into this one. The instructions to this giveaway which will be shipped directly to you for a set of all weather formats by 3W. Uh you have to read the description. There's instructions in there and you have to leave a comment with a special code uh or a special uh the special word and unlimited entries are allowed on this video if you want to be entered in and the entries to this will be entered on June 5th. And of course you do have to hit the like button on that video as well. So, I just smashed it in or I just um posted a bunch of it in the comment section uh or the live stream chat section. So, you can take a look at it and see what uh what is the actual instructions on that one if you want to. And and we're also announcing actually we are going to be at EVFest uh which is in Long Beach, California June 6, J Saturday, June 6.

[00:08:41]And they have given me seven floor mats to give away at the event. And you heard that correct. Seven floor mats to give away at the event. So if you're local, definitely stop by if you can. If you are available, if you are going to be dropping this is a very cool event.

[00:08:57]There's a lot of different electric vehicles. There's a lot of different customized one. There's the Partle link because I'm going to use Partle as a way because Partle has a cool like text blast message. It's not texting your real number. It's texting the app within Partle. So that way I can like basically text everybody like, "Hey, I'm about to do the giveaway. You better come back to the booth." And of course, we're going to be doing it live because we'll be live streaming the event as well. We'll also be giving away giveaway giving away floor mats live on the stream in in in at the same time. So, it's going to be a crazy day for sure. And I'm going to use text blast as well. So, that way you guys know can join the live stream to try and win at the same time there via the particle link. So, hit that RSVP on the Partle link if you're going to be there or if you're not. If you're going to be if you plan on watching the live stream that day on Saturday, June 6th from 12 to 400 p.m. If you definitely think you can't make it in person or you can't make the live stream, then uh leave a comment on this video because we're giving away a set of floor mats as well. Hopefully that makes a lot of sense. Maybe I'll make a nice little write up document on uh both of the things to help alleviate some uh some of the confusion here. But of course, we 3W wants people to show up in person. So they have designated a lot of floor mats for in person uh versus on the internets and the web as well. So so definitely definitely come by if you are in town uh to drop by. If you missed out on checking out the Model S and Model X signature, there actually is two two of them available for to see. And I'm really curious, is Tesla going to sell these? I mean to keep this amount of them there. I I imagine they're probably going to sell it at some point and maybe they're being staged because I know that not everybody has taken delivery of their Model S and Model X yet. So, I bet this is only going to be for like another week or so. But, you can check out the signature $160,000 Model S and Model X at the Fremont, California factory in the Bay Area. It's on display and I bet it's only going to be on display for just a little bit longer.

[00:10:49]So, definitely check it out if you're interested in taking a look at one of these.

[00:10:54]We do have a giveaway today. So, if you want to win this Cyber Cab windup racer, all you have to do is hit that like button and just be active in the chat.

[00:11:02]Once we get to 67 likes, we'll pick a live winner live on stream.

[00:11:09]All right, let's see here who's dropped by. Let's fire up the Nightbot.

[00:11:15]Oops. Sorry everybody. Uh, sorry, I thought it would capture it. Okay, so everybody that chatted before, you have to chat again because Nightbot didn't capture it. You see, it has to kind of go through this long list here. So, everybody just say hi. Hi, really quickly. And uh so that makes sure Nightbot, but we're still like a miles away. We're actually we're not we're not a miles away. We're actually at 52 likes already. So, everybody say hi really quickly. You can say hi, hello, or whatever you want to say. And then once we get to 67 likes, uh we'll be able to pick a winner live on stream. Look at that. Stream Elements beat you all to the punch here. Max, thanks for dropping by. Rob, thanks for coming by. Everyday Tech Mari Hong, uh Jay, Luis, John, Markx, Max, Saxirm, Jeremy, Anthony, DH, three love terms, Justin Oceans, Paul Blueberry, great to see you. Wade, Sean, BD, great to see you as well. Thank you all for dropping by. Yeah, thanks for hitting the like button, the comments, and everything. You can say hi. You can say hello. You can say whatever you want to say. Exactly. Thomas, I sent the service bulletin to Tesla service for my 2026 Model Y performance and they said they won't perform the fix because my VIN is not part of the affected VINs, but my car has the issue. Yeah, that's one of those things where what my advice would that for that would be is to go to Tesla service or open a ticket and try and record the noise on a video and then send that video to them. Then it's like what what can you do? There's nothing if if it's in proof then there's nothing that can be done. and then they have to fix your your vehicle. That's what I would do. Uh because you have to send them proof to be able to do you can't just say like oh like here's the Bolton.

[00:12:47]Can you fix it? You have to prove to them that there is an issue. Can Tesla actually deny to inspect and fix if a VIN is not listed on the effective VIN a part of Bolton? Okay. Yeah. Sorry. I guess I read your messages out of order.

[00:12:56]That's what I would do to make sure that uh they're you're perfectly set up. We got this fixed last week. Costco deals.

[00:13:02]Nice. Super easy fix. Nice. Congrats Costco deals. Did it actually work?

[00:13:05]That's my one concern. like if they do all these different replacement parts and then the clunking comes back because that would be no bueno for sure. Any major updates coming for the Model Y in late 2026 and early 2027? What are you hearing? Wade, I'm hearing absolutely nothing because Model Y has already been updated with the black headliner and the 16-in screen. So, I would imagine they're not going to do anything for another year or two. But, at the same time, Tesla does like doing like small things here and there that we might not actually see. uh on the back end. So maybe that's could be the case uh with that.

[00:13:41]Okay, so I know we we I know we got to 67 likes, but I feel like uh I'm not doing the a good service if uh we didn't give everybody a chance because we got Nightbot was launched a little bit later. So this is your not your 60-second warning. This is like your fiveminute warning. If you want to be entered into that giveaway, hit that like button and just say anything in the chat because we're about to do a giveaway in about five whole minutes.

[00:14:08]In this next topic, Rivian R2 deliveries have begun. Rivian just made an announcement and we've got more spottings of Rivian R2s being delivered to showrooms. So, you might be a happy camper if you're looking to get one of these. Rivian posted this uh June 9th is the big day. Funny 69 June 9th R2 officially launches. Order invitations begin. customer delivery start demo drives open at all Rivian spaces. This makes sense because yesterday we were seeing a lot of these Rivians being trucked to delivery spaces. So, they're probably getting uh ramped up to try and do some delivery uh demo deliveries or demo drives of the Rivian R2. So, I'm actually really excited to drive this vehicle. Not because of like the differences in the software or anything like that or autonomy versus full self driving. I just want to see is it actually more comfortable. And I have a hunch it actually will be more comfortable than a Model Y Juniper. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Model Y's and Junipers and performance or whichever. But uh if it's more comfortable, maybe maybe it might be a good contender. We can see lots of photos here. All the different colors.

[00:15:10]Very cool to see them. I mean, Rivian colors are definitely a really nice vibe uh with that off-road aspect. Uh for sure. So shout out to uh Jose and all the different people that posted about the Rivian R2. But here's a little bit of a synopsis. R2 orders on June 9th. In invites go to rolling batches starting on June 9th. R1 orders owners get accelerated timing. So if you own a Rivian already, then of course you're going to be able to get one a lot sooner. Demo drives start on June 9th.

[00:15:38]Delivery lands 2 to six weeks out if you're looking to actually do this. And of course, the launch edition is the only one that's going to be available to be purchased, which is $58,000, which is the same price as the Model Y performance. Rivian has also extended all offers for the other vehicles are ones like $3,000 off or $799 monthly payments. So, if you're looking to order a Rivian vehicle, definitely check out that Rivian referral link down below in the description as well. So, you can save like $250 or $500 with that. So, definitely check it out. Link down below in the description. If you're looking to sell your electric vehicle, your Tesla vehicle for a Rivian, definitely check out Plug down below in the description.

[00:16:16]They're offering some of the highest offers we've seen out there. They're buying nationwide. Like, definitely don't trade in your vehicle to Rivian or Tesla.

[00:17:40]And this next topic, Starlink has now launched on American Airlines. This brings a lot of different American airlines uh to the list here that actually has Starlink. If you've not tried Starlink on the an your own flight, it is kind of a gamecher and it really makes you not want to try any other flights without stable fast internet service like Starlink. American Airlines announced it. It seems like it's coming in 2027, which maybe like next year, but still really cool to see.

[00:18:05]Some of the roll out has been a little bit slow, but there's a lot of different American airlines. American comes in coming to the play here at Southwest United and of course the full list Hawaiian Airlines and all these other different uh flight plans that you can get it on as well. But certainly really cool to see this and uh um of course the Delta is not on the list and neither is JetBlue because they went with Amazon's version. But uh uh we'll see if that is actually going to be good and if it's going to be a fast roll out as well because that's kind of the key thing with all this. But let us know what your thoughts on it. Let us know what you're thinking.

[00:18:40]Hi Dennis. I need some new nice rubber floors, not the hard plastic for my Model Y. Juniper we got in yesterday.

[00:18:46]Where can you send me to David? I would check out 3W down below in the description.

[00:18:52]Hi Dennis. I just got my Model Y performance back after a full PPF and ceramic coating. have the 3W formats on my Model Y. Great value, especially with your discount code. Thank you, team Marcos. And congrats on a full PPF and ceramic coating. That probably looks really, really, really nice.

[00:19:10]What else we got?

[00:19:15]I sold a Tesla to Plug. It was a great experience. $6,000 more than Tesla was offering. Yeah, 100%. There is. Plug isn't is no joke. Like why waste your money and sell it to Tesla or even Rivian? Definitely check out plug down below in the description if you're selling your electric vehicle. Just watch the DIY rap club roof tint. The blue is a pass for me. The black is cool. Yeah, black for sure. And I think I've got black coming. I think I ordered it, but I can't remember. I got to make a video on that as well.

[00:19:44]Did 3W do anything with the door seals updated? SD? I don't actually know. I think I got a kit. I installed like the driver sides and then that's about it with that one.

[00:19:56]But if you're just joining in, welcome.

[00:19:58]Uh Tesla has released a service bulletin, an official service bulletin to address some of the Model Y clunking issues. So if you are experiencing that clunking issue, you can reference SB2631003 and SB2531005.

[00:20:14]So definitely check it out. And we do have two giveaways that are running right now. We've got a week-long giveaway on this video right here. And uh it's a commentbased giveaway. So you can watch it, look in the description, and you'll find the instructions on how to enter into that giveaway. And that one ends on June 5th, Friday, June 5th, where we pick the winner. The other giveaway, 3W actually gave me seven sets of floor mats to give away. And this one's going to be an IRL event at EVF Fest in Long Beach, California. Uh so if you're around, definitely RSV and come by. And we'll also be doing a live stream that day as well. We'll be I think we're going to give away a couple floor mats live on stream at the same exact time. So, it is going to be a massive day of 3W floor mats all over the place uh left and right.

[00:21:04]In this next topic, Tesla full self driving actually slowed down for a police speed trap or maybe just slowed down for police. We've got video proof here. Very cool to see this actually documented in a handful of different places. is you can see there is a visible cop right here in the middle.

[00:21:21]Don't know if he's actually in a speed trap, but hey, this might mean like driving on full self driving. If you're on MadMax and the Tesla notices that they're a cop and it slows down, that could be a very, very, very cool feature. Here's a live video we can see here. Uh, this person G was going 74 miles an hour. And then upcoming here on the left side is going to be a police that's super well hidden. You can't even see it in any sort of way angle. So, I don't even know how the cameras actually saw it. You can see it's right there. a mysterious vehicle and the vehicle slowed down to 72 mph. Now, we don't know if this was a slowdown because of that construction sign there, but of course, we've got more proof as well.

[00:21:57]Homemar's catalog posted another video here in which he was probably speeding down some area and it was going about 78 79 mph and it slowed down to 76 75. Now, I don't know if this is actually police.

[00:22:09]This might be because of that vehicle pulling to the intersection and then full self-driving is like hey waiting like hey wait is this person going to cross or anything like that but still either way I'm down for the vehicle slowing down because none of us need more tickets uh than uh zero. So really cool to see this and let us know what your thoughts on it. Let us know what you're thinking. And uh one thing's for sure if you're going to be driving on full self driving definitely check out some accessories from Joa because your Tesla is not coming with any of this center consoles, phone mounts and much more. But the top three accessories that they told us that they sell are this game controller, this desk mount, and this phone mount. I use this a phone mount a ton when I'm on full self driving. So, use that discount code down below in the description to save some money, get free shipping on vers, and free returns as well. So, definitely check out Joah down below in the description.

[00:22:56]Seven sets. Yeah, shout out to 3W for sure. It's uh pretty crazy that they were able to get that done. And of course, that's going to be a combination of in person, we're going to give away some via like a raffle ticket and then of course IRL live on the stream. So that way you guys at home will be able to watch as well. And so I'm going to use Partle as a way to like text blast people to that to give them notification uh to either join the live stream or come back to the 3W booth. So that way the the Dennis CW viewers we that you're going to have a little bit of an in that when you know you to go back because if you're not the at the booth and we read your ticket number then we just move to the next person and uh we're going to probably do them like a couple every hour or something because events from 12 to 4 and so we'll probably do like 1:00 2:00 3:00 and then 4:00 or or try to stay that schedule because it's going to be a little bit of a a chaos event uh for sure. So definitely if you're stopping, if you're nearby, definitely try check it out and we'll be there at Long Beach at the 3W booth. So here is the RSVP link. Uh whether you're going to be there or whether you're going to be watching live on stream, I'm going to try and use this text blast system that part has built in so that way it could be a cohesive experience. We'll see. But thanks for joining in everybody. Thanks for supporting. Thanks for hitting the like button, the comments, and everything.

[00:24:12]And I'll see you guys in the next one.

[00:24:14]See you.
