I originally placed an order for a Model Y RWD on March, estimated delivery date is Aug to Sep, but after looking more closely at the current pricing in Canada, I ended up cancelling and ordering a Model 3 RWD instead, with an estimated delivery date late May to Jun. Main reasons: The Model 3 RWD is about $5,000 cheaper before tax… For my use case (mostly commuting), I don’t really need the SUV space. One thing that surprised me: The $250 order deposit is NOT transferable between orders I checked with multiple Tesla advisors in the Vancouver area and they all confirmed it — if you switch models, you basically lose the deposit and have to place a new one. A bit annoying, but even factoring that in, the Model 3 still made more sense financially. But well, I have to sell my Model Y’s accessories like floor mats, trunk mats lol! Curious if anyone else in Canada made the same switch recently? Also wondering if Model Y will have a price drop if they start importing from China rather than Germany? Edit: didn’t expect this many people in the same situation 😅 Happy to share more details — a few people asked about referral, you will get 3 months FSD for free, feel free to DM submitted by /u/HotData3229 to r/teslacanada [link] [comments]

Hey everyone! I recently picked up my Model Y (still can’t believe it 😄) and I’m absolutely loving it so far. Now I’ve started looking into accessories to make it a bit more comfortable and protected, and I was hoping to get some recommendations from you all. Right now I’m mainly interested in: Steering wheel cover / protection Pedal covers Sunshade (especially for the roof) I’ve seen a lot of mixed options online, but I’d prefer to go with something that people here have actually used and trust. Are there any brands you’d recommend or specific products that worked well for you? Also open to other “must-have” accessories I might be missing! Thanks in advance 🙌 submitted by /u/LOUKO to r/TeslaModelY [link] [comments]

What are your thoughts on the radiator cover submitted by /u/nefarioussagee to r/TeslaModelY [link] [comments]

I, like a lot of you, am currently in the market for an EV on a novated lease. While we wait for the Federal Budget to be handed down on 12 May, i've spent the last few days comparing the Tesla Model Y to the Zeekr 7X which I'm sure are on a lot of people's shortlist. Below is my research and some thoughts on the cars which I wanted to share. Hopefully it is helpful if you're in the market for either of these cars. Would also appreciate any input / opinions from owners (or from people who are similarly fixated on these vehicle as I am). I've tried to give a balanced and non-biased take, as ultimately, I am trying to make an informed buying decision for myself. My experience with these cars are: I've sat in both cars and test driven the Model Y. Not had a change to test drive the Zeekr 7X yet due to wait times. But I will be test driving the Model Y back to back with the Zeekr 7X soon and may have updated thoughts then. I've chosen to compare the 2026 Tesla Model Y RWD (~A$64k drive-away, no extras) against the Zeekr 7X Long Range RWD (~A$70k drive-away, no extras). These two picks seem to be the best bang-for-buck options within each model's lineup. The Model Y RWD gets you into the refreshed Juniper platform without paying the Long Range or Performance premium, while the 7X Long Range is the sweet spot of the Zeekr range, unlocking the bigger battery and most of the comfort features without stepping up to the Performance trim. I did use Claude to help draft and organise my thoughts, but the below are my thoughts and research. Category Winner & Reasoning Software / UI / Infotainment Tesla wins. Tesla's software is broadly better — more features, more refined and better integration with the underlying hardware and app. The difference translates into a meaningfully better day-to-day user experience. Tesla also wins on FSD capability and on software reliability overall — things like Digital Unlock just work, whereas the Zeekr has known issues in this area. That said, the Zeekr software is no slouch. It is feature rich and well presented, just not as developed as the Tesla. Tesla's software isn't perfect though: no Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, and some features are gated behind subscriptions such as the Premium Connectivity subscription (i.e Grok, Live Sentry Mode, Music Streaming) which comes at $13.99 a month and FSD at $149 (which is a rort IMO). The 7X's software is improving — Zeekr is aware of the known issues and OTAs are expected to address them, including a reported upcoming update that resolves the digital unlocking problem. An OTA introducing Apple CarPlay is also rumoured to be coming to Tesla. So both brands have improvements in the pipeline, but the gap today is in Tesla's favour. Driving feel Preference. I haven't had a chance to drive both yet. Reviews are mixed though, one will say A drives better than B, another will say B over A - so this is best confirmed for yourself. Seems though that the Model Y has a slightly sportier, more connected feel. The Zeekr 7X is tuned for comfort — softer, more absorbent over rough surfaces, more European-SUV in character. Which wins depends on what you want out of the car. Reddit users suggest one-pedal driving seems to be superior on the Tesla. Driving experience quirks Strongly preference driven. Important category to mention as Tesla's approach to the driving is genuinely polarising. There's no digital instrument cluster in front of the driver — your speed is shown in the top corner of the central screen. There's also no gear selector stalk — gear selection is done through the touchscreen (Tesla tries to compensate with auto-shift which appears to work reasonably well). Some people absolutely love this minimalist approach; others find it disorienting or outright dislike it, preferring the tried-and-true traditional driving setup with a proper cluster and physical gear selector — which, to be fair, everyone is used to and has decades of muscle memory with. The Zeekr sticks closer to tradition here (dedicated driver-facing cluster, conventional gear stalk, HUD). A personal opinion from me: the Model Y not having a HUD in 2026 is unforgivable. Battery Equal / Preference. This isn't an apples-to-apples comparison, because we're comparing a base Model Y against a Long Range Zeekr. The Tesla Model Y RWD uses an LFP battery, and the base Zeekr 7X RWD Base Model would also be LFP — but the 7X Long Range steps up to an NCM battery which has purported downsides. On charging, the Zeekr 7X edges ahead thanks to its 800V architecture, which enables significantly faster DC fast-charging than the Tesla. On the other side, the Tesla is the most efficient car in the segment (kWh per 100 km), which matters for real-world running costs and offsets some of the range/charging gap. Interior Zeekr wins. Significantly more premium feeling and luxurious — European-SUV character, better trim quality, more visual warmth. Both cars use PU leather/vinyl upholstery (neither is genuine leather), so the material itself is the same unless you decide to step up to the AWD Performance spec of the Zeekr 7X. The Zeekr's seats are plusher and softer; the Tesla's are firmer and hug you more, more sport-oriented. The 2nd row is also more comfortable in the Zeekr 7X which is spacious and has reclining seats. A bonus in the Zeekr is the hidden storage in the front passenger doors and under the rear passenger seats. Tesla's specific shortcomings remain: no electric sunshade for the panoramic roof, no massaging seats, and criticised as overly minimalistic or spartan. That said, the refreshed Model Y's interior has improved significantly over the past two years, better interior quality and ventilated/heated seats come as standard on the base RWD, whereas you have to step up to the 7X Long Range to get them on the Zeekr. Both cars seem to have a good sound system. You get 9 speakers on the Model Y Base Model and 21 speakers on the Zeekr 7X Long Range - though apparently both systems are comparable in performance. Appreciate if anyone can confirm this Personally, I found the center console lid feel flimsy on the Zeekr 7X and wish they just went with something more simple. Exterior Preference. Both cars look great to me. The Tesla's Juniper refresh sharpened the front, added the light bars and is a coupe; the Zeekr has a more traditional upright-SUV presence with frameless doors. On cameras : the Zeekr's cameras are arguably best in class (more cameras, higher resolution), but the Tesla wins on functionality because the software actually uses them — Live Sentry Mode, FSD, and built-in dash cam are all tightly integrated. Zeekr offers some of these features (Sentry Mode) which you have to manually turn on, but note no dashcam functionality yet (although, you may want to purchase a dedicated dashcam on either vehicle in any case). Practicality Preference. Both cars offer great storage space, and while the Zeekr 7X is slightly smaller overall, the difference isn't enough to move the needle in daily use. Both have frunks. The trade-off comes down to two different convenience features: the Tesla has electric folding rear seats, useful for buyers who regularly reconfigure the cargo area; the Zeekr has an electric sunshade, useful under the Australian sun. Opinions on the need for a sunshade in Australia are mixed online — some owners say they're fine without one, others consider it essential, especially for a panoramic roof. Tesla does counter this with an excellent pre-conditioning feature that cools the car before you get in, but that's gated behind Premium Connectivity (A$13.99/month). If you do end up needing a sunshade, you then have to purchase a sunshade, install it and remove AND store it when you don't need it. Servicing Tesla edges out. Tesla has no scheduled servicing in the first five years — you service only as required, which keeps running costs minimal for the typical owner. The Zeekr 7X's service schedule is currently unclear — reports have ranged between 24 months/40,000 km and 12 months/20,000 km, with an indicative five-year of ~A$2,400–$2,900. Best to confirm the current schedule directly with the dealer. On balance, Tesla's servicing costs still look materially lower over a typical ownership window. Warranty Equal. Both cars carry a 5-year / unlimited-kilometre warranty in Australia, and a 8-year warranty on the battery. Reliability & after-sales Leans Tesla. Both cars carry risk. The Juniper is a fresh refresh and may have its own teething issues that only surface with time; the 7X is similarly too new in Australia to draw firm conclusions. Based on feedback from Chinese 7X owners, the car itself appears reasonably reliable — most of the recurring complaints are around soundproofing and software, and several of those issues appear to have been addressed in the Australian release. Where Tesla does pull ahead is on after-sales support. Tesla is a far more developed brand in Australia, with an established service network, parts supply, and proven after-sales processes. Zeekr Australia appears aware of common issues and has been stocking parts locally — videos online confirm this — but whether that supply and service capacity can actually meet demand as the fleet grows is still unproven. Ultimately we can't conclude which car will prove more reliable, but if something does go wrong, the Tesla path to resolution is likely smoother. One minor thing to mention is that the availability and quality of after-market accessories for Tesla seems to be much better which might be important to you, particularly how sparse the Tesla is. Value Zeekr wins. The 7X buys you more car for the money — a more premium interior, more comfort features, faster charging. The Long Range version carries a ~A$6,000 premium over the Model Y but this spec bump comes with a lot of core / desirable features: heated / cooled seats, HUD, additional speakers, larger battery. The Tesla does come across as a bit miserly by comparison — no charging cable included (you have to buy one separately), no centre console accessories and requirement to pay a monthly subscription to truly unlock the car i.e Premium Connectivity ($13.99 per month) and FSD ($149 per month). Note that the Zeekr comes with 5 years of infotainment connectivity as standard. Tesla's optional add-ons are also more expensive — paint options are either A$1,900 or $2,600, whereas Zeekr's paint options cap out at ~A$1,500. Insurance appears to be a little cheaper for the Tesla, but that's circumstance-dependent but also sensible as the Long Range 7X is a more expensive car. The 7X is the more comfortable car overall with more bells and whistles inside, which gives it the edge. The base Model Y though is not 'poor-value'. submitted by /u/nontoxicbloke to r/AustralianEV [link] [comments]

This is for accessories or anything you added to yours! I found some old threads but they are for older model Ys and everything says it won’t work for the new 2026. This is my first electric vehicle so ive been searching everywhere to find people posting things that worked for them. Hopefully im not the only one on the hunt and this can help someone else. Also if you have anything that you purchased, that said it should fit a standard and it doesn’t please post that too cause i hate to have to keep returning items. lol submitted by /u/Minimum-Coconut3241 to r/TeslaModelY [link] [comments]

Hey everyone! I recently ordered the 2026 MY Premium AWD. Pick up is this Thursday & I'm super excited! I've doing some research and watching a lot of YouTube videos on accessories. I know I'll want to get the floor mats, and I'm likely to get the screen protectors. Curious to see what this community thinks - What has been an absolute gamechanger for you? Are there any hidden gems? If this isn't the right place to ask, please direct me to the correct sub.

Picking up my Model Y Performance this Friday and want to have accessories ready for a weekend install! I’m looking at the REEVAA Mud Flaps ($32.99) and GALVAGNITE Floor Mats ($89.90) from Amazon. Most mats in the $90–$100 range look similar, so I’d love to hear any thoughts or better suggestions for these. Also, can anyone recommend a solid set of wheel locks and a phone holder for the 2026 Model Y performance ?

I have a 2026 Model Y and went down the rabbit hole of accessories pretty hard. I kept seeing scattered lists, so I pulled together what has worked for me now, what looks solid for the new Juniper cars, and what I had on my previous ’21 MY.

Ever since owning it I am unable to think about anything else but this stupid car. It's just too good. The ride, the comfort, the performance, the fun features, the insane FSD that continues to blow my tiny little brain every time I take this thing for a ride. I'm not going to go around telling everyone how much their car sucks or that I'm saving the environment by driving around in a Tesla... that'd be silly for multiple reasons. Nah, it's just a solid car that does things I need a car to do really well. The best thing about this thing is the peace of mind it provides me. All of the safety features and self-driving tech dials down my anxiety on commutes to a level that makes "driving" actually enjoyable. Unfortunately I can't think about anything else now. I find myself obsessing over the smallest details... the hardware... the accessories... the optimizations... the possibilities. I'm constantly looking for an excuse to go cruising with my buddy FSD, even though I've got nowhere to go. What a terrible, horrible car... 😂 submitted by /u/EmealServer to r/ModelY [link] [comments]

Just passed the one-week mark with my brand new Model Y. It’s my third car ever and the first one I’ve ever bought new. I started with a ‘96 Corolla, then a 2006 Honda CRV, and now this. It still doesn’t feel real. I picked it up on Monday, July 28th, and every time I step outside and see it, I still can’t believe I actually own it. The design, the drive, the whole experience is on another level. I haven’t felt this kind of joy or excitement in a long time. It reminds me of how I felt as a kid. I wanted an upgrade from the CRV because I actually liked that car, especially the space and utility. I considered the Model 3 at first, but the Model Y felt like the perfect evolution. It’s a proper CRV upgrade with all the tech and performance I was looking for. Still getting used to the fact that this is mine. This car is sick and I absolutely love it. If anyone has must-have accessories or tips, I’m open to suggestions. Trying to keep it clean and dialed in. submitted by /u/The_Ninja007 to r/TeslaModelY [link] [comments]

Tesla has introduced a frunk lighting accessory for Model 3’s manufactured 2024+ & Y’s produced 2020-2024 priced at $100, the link below is directly to the accessory.

I used this community extensively when I was researching for my used Model Y purchase so I wanted to do a write up on what I learned in the hopes that it helps someone else. It should go without saying that this is both a snapshot in time and may not be completely accurate so please correct me so the right information is here. My search criteria Model Y that would last an additional 10 years Long Range & AWD Config 7 Seater if possible Tow hitch if possible FSD if possible No color preference No interior preference Budget $29k I ended up with a 2022 Model Y LR, 7 Seater, w/ Tow Hitch in the Standard Midnight Silver (VIN F390) for $27.2k + $2k Shipping. 1. Model Year Differences My first step was to determine about which model year I could afford (turned out to be 2022) and then on either side of this understand what the major improvements were from one to the next with the goal of either "downgrading" and saving money, or splurging some to get a key upgrade. Because of the way Tesla rolls out hardware updates, it can be difficult to determine which vehicles had which features. However, because of this community, and others, there are some general guidelines I found: 2020 First model year for the Model Y Generally had cosmetic issues like panel gaps, seat alignment issues, and a few others Did not fully research this model year because I knew I wanted newer 2021 Heated steering wheel & metal scroll wheels Dimming mirrors Matte interior Additional wiper sprayer Acoustic Glass in front Sentry Mode USB in Glove Box Third row option available Pedestrian warning speaker (custom sounds) 82kWh battery pack vs 72kWh Build quality generally better Late 2021 Bio Defense Mode Heated Steering Wheel HW3, MCU2 (Intel Atom) 2022 General FSD still HW3 Early Ryzen (MCU3) Lithium Ion 12V August-ish (VIN: Low F500’s) Matrix Headlights October Comfort ride suspension Removed ultra-sonic sensors 2023 May FSD to HW4 (Can tell by red lenses on external cameras) Silvered Roof Glass Ultrasonic sensors removal Noise & Vib. improvements In the end, I decided I wanted to go with a 2022+ model year with the goal of getting a Ryzen chip to help with longevity and life with active software updates. Musk has said that an upgrade from the Intel Atom chip to the Ryzen chip (MCU2 --> MCU3) isn't in the cards like when they updated from MCU1 to MCU2 but there is debate about if Tesla will stick with this. If an upgrade is an option, I expect it will be paid. On the note of the Ryzen chip. There are two helpful links I'll include below. What I learned is that Ryzen almost, if not always, came paired with the Low Voltage Lithium Batteries and both are really spotty at the beginning of 2022 but gain consistency after March. Based on sequence numbers, this roughly correlates to F400+. Two helpful links I used regularly are below. Note, I do not claim ownership of either of these. Sheet of 2022 Model Y Users Confirmed Configurations: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CU18pcKvjfsnMeMm6MVVyQn8oHl8fzeC3VFIglx65QE/edit?usp=sharing Database for Manufacture Date based on VIN: https://tesla-info.com/tesla-build-date.php If you're unfamiliar with how to find your sequence number, see the bolded section here (7SAYGDEE4NF435934). Note F is for Fremont, A is for Austin. I did not find many Austin builds so my research there is very lacking. There are more posts that go into deeper detail about 2. Where to Purchase Knowing what I wanted to purchase is one thing but where to purchase it is another huge question. For a while I searched Carvana, Edmunds, CarGuru's, and Tesla. I ended up purchasing through Tesla for a few reasons: They were competitively priced for the mileage and features offered They offer a 1 year/10,000mi warranty on their used cars They have a stated policy of doing an inspection on every vehicle No haggling, no hassle, just purchase and seamlessly integrate I will note that that some annoyances about purchasing from Tesla are that: You don't get to see the car, or even photos, before you pay to ship it and the $500 deposit and $500-$2500k shipping fee are non-refundable if you don't accept the car. They don't deeply detail the cars. Mine still had dirt on the carpets and sand in the trunk. I've heard of others that had dog hair all throughout As a note, nearly all the cars I came across were lease returns. This could be good or bad but I'm listing it here. This also means that most of the “leading edge“ cars I saw were almost 3 years old on the dot. If you are waiting for a specific feature that was rolled in, look to about that three year mark to see more of them pop up on the used Tesla page. Despite those downsides and the risk taken with buying a car unseen, my experience with them was good and I would do it again. I will also note, I've only owned the car less than a week so if there is a mechanical issue, we'll see how that goes. I didn't go with the other sites for a few reasons: Carvana felt like a 50/50 mix of good and bad experiences and the cars are also purchased without seeing it in person, though, they do post extensive photos. Plus the shipping fee to Portland, OR was almost always ~$1,800 Edmunds seemed like a good place to search dealerships but I couldn't find any local ones and really didn't want to drive 100+ miles to haggle with a dealer and potentially walk away. CarGuru's had plenty of deals, especially ones that were higher mileage and cheap but I was nervous about the dealers on there because the pricing seemed to include tax rebates when it shouldn't have and other gimmicks that make me nervous. I'm sure there are good deals and experiences on each of those platforms, I just chose not to go with them. If you have something that pops up locally to you, I'd absolutely go check it out but my concern was also around things I couldn't really see or inspect or that the dealers selling could really inspect. I felt like Tesla could actually look into the car to check it out. Again, my two cents. 3. Pricing Pricing combines the last two categories. I wanted to see what the pricing differences there were between the different sites, general trends for the cars with different miles, and also see what features were upcharged for. Below is what I learned. Tesla's listed Model Y's were competitive with the rest of the market For the first 40k mi, the price drops pretty quickly but then slows down Generally, newer model years cost more for the same mileage (no shock) Narrowing in on Tesla sold, used Model Y's There is no discernible upcharge for the two hitch or 7 seats FSD is about ~$3k-4k more for equivalent mileage, though, datapoints were sparse so this may be erroneous Generally $27K–$29K: 2021–2022 LR models with 60K–90K miles $30K–$31K: 2023 models with 40K–70K miles $35K+: New or nearly new I've included some of the charts I made as well, note, scraping data from these sites was going to be more time consuming and risky than I deemed necessary for this effort so I just spent an hour or so manually scraping this data and plotting it. 4. Waiting for the deal After all this research, I waited and watched on Tesla's website for about a month. For efficiency, I bookmarked the pages that had my preset filters on the search results from most desirable to least and every morning and night I'd pop them open to look for new cars that fell into my price range. If one did, I noted the price and saved the link so I could check on that exact car moving forward. Tesla will post a car any time of day and will also update near instantaneously when it's been sold. When I bought mine, the page died within 5 minutes so keep an eye out. Every night/early morning they reduce their prices from $100-$400 until they sell or hit a price floor. If you're looking for a helpful site in tracking this, there are two sites I saw referenced a lot ( EV-CPO.com & TeslaHunt.io ). I used the latter most, though, I found my preset filters on the Tesla page to be the most useful. The car I purchased was posted for close to a week and dropped by nearly $2.5k by the time I purchased it. Do also note the shipping cost with Tesla, they don't easily advertise it until you click the listing and scroll all the way down. After a while though, you see the location in the listing and you know how much it will cost. Not terribly helpful I know but if you watch for a week or two, you'll learn for your location. 5. Purchasing & Pre-Delivery Prep Once I selected my Model Y, I used Apple Pay to pay for shipping & the deposit ($2k + $500 for me) and within 5 minutes got a text message from a sales rep (or automated sales rep) that said they were processing my order and if I had any questions to text them there. My estimated delivery on the listing was 3-4 weeks but after a week, I got a message with a more detailed delivery date range (Tuesday/Wednesday the following week). They reminded me that I was required to pick it up within 3 days of delivery or they could re-list it. Two days later they texted me saying my vehicle would be ready Monday and I could schedule my pickup appointment. When I went to schedule it, the only available openings were on Monday, so I'm not sure how the "three day rule" would apply if Monday wouldn't have worked but I'm sure if I would have called them they could have scheduled something. In the midst of this process they had me use the app to give them my drivers license & my wife's license for titling the car. They also had me upload my proof of insurance & confirm if I was trading in or not. All very easy. They post all the relevant documents to your account so you can download/read them at your will. There was one issue I had on my title application where the state wanted me to renew my registration simultaneously. I had questions about this and the rep I texted was incredibly patient and kind to me as we talked through the whole thing. Seriously, it was awesome. In those last few days while I waited for the car to arrive, I looked up inspection checklists and prepared the items I would need to do the inspection. Inspection Tools: Ruler (for checking dent/scratch size) Penny (for tire tread depth) Flashlight to look under the car and in the wheel wells Chargers (USB-A, USB-C, 12V) to check the ports Documents: Printed proof of insurance Warranty details, Cosmetic/Mechanical Standards Details (viewable from any used Tesla listing) Inspection Lists https://teslaprep.glideapp.io/dl/d0a5f4 (Used this one, super easy interface) https://tesbros.com/a/blog/used-tesla-checklist?srsltid=AfmBOorJk4jossFfM_gPTNOw15OCSv59SkpD8N-0RnaG5p30SBHFppFv (Backup printable one if you prefer analog) I heard mixed reviews about whether Tesla would let you inspect in the car before approving the delivery so I had a backup list (below) for outside only checks: Check for major damage under car Look for signs of accidents (Bad panel gap misalignment, dents, etc) Check for obvious damage in wheel wells Check for glass damage on roof, windshield, rear window Check tire tread Check brake condition 6. Delivery Day On the day of my delivery I showed up to the service center, they checked me in, and had me sign the title/registration applications. They then showed me to my car and left me alone while I inspected it. They said when I was done, I could come back inside to finish up. Everything looked good minus a some cosmetic issues which honestly were very minor and could be removed with some detailing (Photos included). Truly thrilled with how good of shape it was in. I went back inside and the rest of the process took about 5 minutes in the app to agree to the documents, pay them via ACH, and get some virtual confetti on my screen. We then walked out to the car and they helped me set up my phone key, adjust the seats, mirrors, etc and they walked me through some of the things I should be aware of. If I'm being honest, I could have done all of that, and if you're this far into this post, you'd be just fine too. But I do appreciate the service. From there I was on my way, and, without even trying, took my own breath away on the first onramp which was followed by a huge smile. Some other Helpful notes 1. Home Charging Setup I evaluated different charging options and incentives before installing my home charger, this will be highly variable depending on your location and when you're reading this: Tesla Wall Connector vs. Third-Party: Tesla’s charger was cheaper but not eligible for credits in Portland, OR which made it more expensive on the whole ChargePoint (the approved PGE charger) was costlier but was eligible for both a $300 rebate on the charger and up to $1000 for a panel replacement (which I needed) Local Utility & Federal Incentives: Potential $50–$1,000+ in rebates from PGE, just google them, they're easy to find 30% federal tax credit on installation costs Note on Charging: In my first few days of owning, I've tried most of the methods for charging (Home on a 120V, Work on a Low Power 16A/240V, & 325kW Super Charger). I will say that if you're driving any real distance a day and want a home setup, you need the NEMA 14-50 setup or the Wall Connector. I was at 20% battery and it took 14 hours just to get to 40% on my 120V outlet. The wall connector I'm getting should do 30% to 70% in less than half that time. 2. Accessories & Upgrades To improve daily use and protection, I purchased the following: Interior Protection: 3D floor mats (~$550) - Photos of the cargo space & rear seats included Spigen screen protector ($40) Center console organizers ($60) Exterior Protection: Mud flaps (Already Installed) Partial PPF for rear (Already Installed) Functional/Emergency Mobile Connector ($275 in service center while purchasing) Fix-A-Flat Repair Kit ($9) Heavy Duty Extension Cord ($75) Mobile Inflator ($70) Jack Pads ($20) License Plate Holder ($70) In reality, you could spend as much as you want on accessories. My top recommendations are all but the license plate holder in the functional/emergency then the floor mats and the screen protector if you have to narrow it down. In Summary I'm thrilled with my Model Y and think I got a good deal for the configuration I was able to get. I would purchase through Tesla again, and, they have been great to work with. The car is everything I thought it would be and truly it feels like the way driving was meant to be. I'm sure the honeymoon period will wear off but I'm enjoying it while it's here. I also apologize for any typos, I wanted to get this out to you guys before life took over again. Hope this helps some of you.

I’ve been in the marketing for a Model 3 that qualified for the federal tax credit for the last couple months, but I ended up getting a great deal on a 2021 Model Y Long Range with just over 45,000 miles for just over $20,000 after the tax credit. Definitely not what I was originally looking for, but I couldn’t pass up the deal in my opinion—especially since I was upgrading from a Honda Civic with over 200,000 miles. I’ve only had the car for a few days, but I’m absolutely loving it so far! The ride quality, tech, and instant torque is incredible. Plus, I can charge for free at work using a J1772 charger, and there are plenty of Superchargers around my area, so range anxiety isn’t even a factor with the small commute I have daily. For the Model Y owners out there: • Anything I should know about or expect with this car? • Any must-have accessories or recommended upgrades? • Any Wheel Cover Recommendations? submitted by /u/KenPiffeyJunior to r/TeslaModelY [link] [comments]

Picked Up our Used 2023 R1S – Loving It So Far! I feel very fortunate to have moved on from my Tesla into a used 2023 Rivian R1S. As many of you know, due to Elon’s antics, I couldn’t in good conscience continue owning a Tesla. Along with selling my Model Y, I also dumped all my Tesla investment last week—just before it tanked. Now, onto the R1S! The pickup process was super smooth, and Rivian’s customer service was excellent. The team walked us through everything and made sure we fully understood the vehicle before driving off. We got a 2023 Quad-Motor Launch Edition with about 17,000 miles. The biggest differences we’ve noticed between this and the Gen 2 models are the improved camera clarity and suspension on the Gen 2. Though neither was a dealbreaker for us. After putting about 600 miles on it, I’ve been really impressed with the estimated range accuracy—especially compared to my Model Y. I take a regular weekly route that used to require a mid-trip charge in the Model Y (which was getting worse over time with degradation). With the Rivian, I can complete the entire drive without stopping to charge once. We’re excited to take it off-roading and camping soon! So far, we’ve added a few accessories that we’ve really enjoyed: ✅ All-weather floor mats ✅ Wireless phone charging pad for the center console ✅ Storage insert for the center floor storage area ✅ Dash-to-console storage shelf with cup holders ✅ Dog cover for the third row and cargo area ✅ Middle console storage tray ✅ Screen Protectors ✅ Roof rack Looking for recommendations—what other accessories have you guys added and loved? submitted by /u/Trevor_the_trainer to r/Rivian [link] [comments]

Having clocked an impressive 100,000 miles over 22 months of ride-sharing with my 2022 Tesla Model Y, it's time to reflect on the journey with this electric marvel. Pros: Economical Operation: The savings from ditching traditional gas for cheaper electric power have continued to make a significant impact on my bottom line. Maintenance Bliss: The absence of oil changes has not only saved me time but also money. The simplicity of electric vehicle maintenance is a clear advantage. Passenger Pleaser: The comfort factor of the Model Y remains unparalleled. Most riders not only appreciate the smooth ride but also show their appreciation with tips, making it a win-win for both driver and passengers. Dependable Roadside Assistance: Tesla's roadside assistance continues to shine in my experiences. Their prompt and effective support has been a reliable safety net during unexpected situations on the road. Cons: Tire Woes Persist: The Achilles' heel remains the tires. They're expensive, and the susceptibility to punctures is a concern, especially considering my ride-share usage. Suggestions to New Owners: For those entering the world of Tesla ownership, I strongly advise investing in essential accessories. Prioritize floor mats to keep the interior in top shape. Consider getting Tesla's tire repair kit and keeping a fix-a-flat for emergencies to preemptively tackle potential tire issues. Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5: After 100,000 miles, the Model Y has proven itself as a reliable workhorse. Despite some concerns about tire costs and vulnerabilities, the overall satisfaction with performance, savings, and rider experience remains high. To future Tesla owners, buckle up for a ride that's not just eco-friendly but also economically savvy. With the right accessories, you're on track for a stellar Tesla journey. submitted by /u/efremtoyou to r/TeslaModelY [link] [comments]

Backstory I've always been into cars, and I was looking to get a new vehicle as my winter/practical car. I'm keeping my S4 and 718 Cayman S as well, so this was going to be in addition to those 2. I've been in enough Audi/BMW/Mercs/Porsches and wanted something different. Smooth power, roomy interior, cool factor and quiet ride were my main considerations. I don't need the all out performance of something like an X3M or GLC63 since I've got other cars. I wanted this to be a stark contrast to my current 2 vehicles.   Decided a MYP would be a good fit, especially with very strong resale value. I can keep it for a few years and see what the electric market is like with Rivian, electric Macan etc. The ordering and delivery process was terrible, but that's another story. It was easily the worst "dealership" experience I've had buying any car (new or used).   Anyways, I get my car on the evening of Dec 10th. By the afternoon of the 11th, it had a rear motor failure followed by a completely dead vehicle that's unable to drive.   Motor Failure Picked up my blue on white MYP on the evening of Dec 10th. By the afternoon of the 11th, it had a rear motor failure and 2 mins later was completely undriveable and had to be towed to the dealer. It was being driven at 60km/h when a warning came up about the rear motor. A couple mins later, it was fully dead. Luckily I was near a friends house and parked it in their driveway. Would have sucked if this happened on the highway. I googled the error and it seems like this has happened to other people before, and usually pretty soon after delivery. Still, off too a pretty terrible start with the car.   Bad things I've noticed over the first 24hrs, coming from someone who's into cars and driven a bunch of stuff on street/track:   Build Quality: Wasn't expecting much here, so I was ok with some gaps and not having perfect panels. There was some glue residue on the edges of the panoramic roof, and there were marks on the headliner when I took delivery. The interior plastic piece on the b pillar has a massive gap between it and the roof on 1 side. Otherwise, I'm totally ok with it. I knew what I was getting into and wasn't expecting it to be on the level of the germans.   Closing the Door: You have to pull pretty hard to actually close the door. It wasn't just me either. Multiple people failed to close the door properly the first time they tried. You really have to slam it more than any other car I've owned. Not a very nice experience for the user. I can imagine some older person actually having trouble to close it properly.   Honk Upon Lock: I can't believe this car makes a cheap honk sound when you lock it like some early 2000s GM car. It should 100% have some pleasant sounding chip/beep.   Loud Seat Motors: Loudest seat motors I've heard, especially the lumbar.   Cheap Carpet Mats: I've already installed proper mats, but the stock carpet mats (only included for driver and passenger) are the thinnest and cheapest feeling carpet mats I've experienced. They're so lightweight and flimsy with no impression of quality. This doesn't matter too much, but it speaks to the cost cutting happening everywhere.   Can't View Songs on Phone? Unless I'm dumb, is there actually no way to view a list of all music on my iPhone and pick something? The interface between phone and the car is terrible and super limited. I really hope I'm missing something here. There isn't even an easy way to activate Siri since the in-car voice button will trigger the Tesla voice assistant. Very disappointed in the user experience here.   Flimsy Sunshades: Once again, more cost cutting. You can easily feel the cardboard inside them. There is absolutely no feeling of quality when operating them. There's also a little flap of fabric that covers the mirror instead of a sliding piece of plastic or plastic cover. Feels like something I'd expect in a $10k car.   Very Unrefined Suspension: This is probably my biggest "real" complaint. It feels like shit. There is no sense of money or R&D put into it. It's so crashy when driving and you can literally hear creaks and noises from the suspension being transmitted into the vehicle while driving (with the music off). The dampening feels like crap and there's no reason for this car to ride this terribly. I bet you an A class has a more upscale feeling suspension. No adaptive dampening available is also a joke. I expected this based on some reviews, but it's next level bad. My Cayman S with Sport PASM feels light years ahead in suspension setup. Maybe if you're coming from a Civic or Camry this is acceptable to you, but if you've driven any modern car from a luxury brand, this is appalling.   Headliner: I'm probably just spoiled, but I thought most cars nowadays had a fabric headliner. Not the MYP. It looks like fabric, but when you touch it, it's a nasty cheap plastic type of material. Come on, I get you have to cut costs, but this is nearly $100k after tax in Canada.   Auto Dimming Mirrors: These work well enough, but the portion of the mirror that auto dims is small. There is a thick border around the auto-dim part of the mirror, where it's normal and reflective. I've never had another car where it stands out this much. You can almost be blinded by lights in this outer border since it's so chunky. It should definitely extend more towards the edges of the mirror.   HomeLink Garage Opener: Just another example of more cost cutting. Even Porsche gives this to you. I'm sure it's Tesla being cheap and not wanting to pay the license fee to HomeLink for every car sold. I know they offer it as a dealer accessory for like $400, but come on.   Straight Line Speed: It's actually not as fast as I expected. If you're not used to fast cars, this will feel like a space ship. If you're driven modern performance cars, it's nothing special. I feel like the MYP has an adequate amount of power. I feel like it needs another 100hp to be classified as a proper performance variant. My other cars both feel just as fast and launch significantly harder with launch control. The MYP rolls into the power softly from a dig. When you're rolling, it does feel great - but so does any other modern fast car if you're in the right gear.   Blind Spot Monitoring: It's just sad that the car doesn't have true blind spot monitoring like every other modern car. I knew it didn't have it (the chime/assist thing is garbage vs a proper system) so I was prepared for this, but just 1 more thing it's missing.   Rear Visibility: Terrible due to the slope of the rear glass. Worse than all its competitors. I'm ok with this but some people might not be.   Heated Steering Wheel: It seems to cycle on/off to regulate the temperate. The problem is that it's either nice and toasty or very noticeably colder when it turns off. I wish it be consistent. It's a stark contrast and very noticeable as it turns on and off while attempting to maintain a warm wheel.   Auto High Beam: Very inconsistent and basically unusable in my short night time testing. I live near some rural roads with a single lane in each direction and it wasn't very sure about when to turn the high beams on/off. I ended up turning it off after getting fed up with the system.   Good things about the car:   Smoothness: I love how smooth it is with no transmission. This is exactly what I wanted. Both my other cars have a DCT and they get pretty clunky in the winter when cold. It's very nice not to feel any shifts. Smoothness also goes for power delivery. It's not as fast as I expected, but I love how smooth it feels when accelerating.   Quietness: I was on the fence about this before getting the car. I expected it to be very loud on the highway based on some things I've read. I was very happy with the cabin volume and found it to be much quieter than expected. Maybe I'm just used to louder performance cars and that's why I think this is quiet, but regardless, I think interior noise is totally acceptable for what the car is.   Interior Space: This thing is massive inside. I love how much rear seat room you have, all the trunks and under floor storage you have. It feels so nice and airy while driving too. The way the windows are positioned and the drivers seat. I love how open it all feels. The white interior also helps out here.   Sound System: I had read some major complaints so I was expecting the worst. It really isn't that bad. It's half decent. Don't go expecting 7 series or S class quality, but I think it's totally acceptable for this class of vehicle. Those complaints were way overblown to me. I'm using bluetooth streaming from my iPhone which I believe is the 2nd clearest source with USB being the best.   Overall, I still think it's a decent car. I expected the cost cutting and knew about some of the downsides going into it, but it's always different once you actually own the car. For the reasons I wanted the car, it works well. The suspension is easily the biggest let down. If they give it air suspension, increase power and fix up their UX, I think they could have nearly perfect compact SUV. And offer some kind of luxury package for $5k to make the interior feel more expensive. Nicer headliner, nicer door cards, better carpeting, more sound deadening etc.   Also, I love to complain and nitpick basically every car, so I'm definitely more critical than most people. Your average buyer coming from a Prius would love this thing inside and out. I realize I'm more spoiled by nicer cars and having spent significant time with luxury brands.   Lmk if you guys have any questions! Happy to answer them.   Edit: replying to some basic questions. Will do more individual responses later on. Yes, I'm still happy with the purchase. I knew what I was getting into. I just wanted to share my experience as someone who owns my current 2 cars (2017 Cayman S and 2012 Audi S4 w/ tune).   Straight line speed: I have dragy numbers for all 3 cars. With NO rollout: 718 Cayman S - 4.13 seconds Audi S4 w/ tune - 4.32 seconds Model Y Performance - 4.10 seconds With rollout, all 3 cars are easily in the 3 second range. Numbers on paper don't always reflect what a car feels like in real life. I'm just saying that I expected the Y Performance to feel faster off the line vs combustion cars, but in reality it's nearly identical if you mash the throttle. Again, compared to the 2 cars I own. I'm not saying it's slow, but it's a speed I'm used to and find adequate. It doesn't feel like it's crazy fast. It IS very nice for passing power while cruising. submitted by /u/FazedCow to r/cars [link] [comments]
