I rented a M3 through Hertz in May with a pickup at Newark airport, drop off at Boston Logan, and no drop off charge. It came with a "cheat sheet" that was very useful. It was supposed to have a J1772 adapter but did not which I didn't find out until later when I was going to do some L2...

Thanks for the info. My Y trailer plans are on hold for now. Maybe in the Spring.

I also have a Bolt and Tesla (Y). i use Car Play on the Bolt and of course Tesla navigation on the Y. Not sure what the big deal is. Voice navigation commands work just fine for me on the Y. The Bolt Car Play means I lose some functions (eg outside temp, clunkier entertainment) when its...

FWIW, chronologic winter (12/21 to 3/20) does not match climatologic winter which varies depending on location. As you know, days get longer starting on 12/21 but there's a time lag before more sunshine produces more warmth and that varies by location. In some areas, winter starts in...

I did not resolve this. We have our Y but without a hitch or harness so far. When I asked Tesla service about buying just the harness they said I could not. This is where the lack of independent competing dealerships is a disadvantage. It would not surprise me if the X and Y used the same...

FWIW I was able to buy aftermarket wheels with proper load rating and Blizzaks for about $1700 from local Discount Tire, including Tesla pressure sensors. I chose 18" wheels and higher profile tires (to get same circumference) for winter driving. Too soon to know how well this setup performs.

The car is already built and on its way.

Could you provide a little more detail: location of the plug, was their a connector that matched the plug or did you splice into the wires, etc.

Thanks for the link. This does answer some of my questions. The design of the wiring harness from the link suggests that there is a lot of pre-wiring already on the car, eg, local 12v power. This suggests that, even if Tesla won't sell the harness separately, a third party could develop one...

We will be getting our Y in the next week or so and I'm planning on adding a trailer hitch. I have questions about the trailer wiring and haven't found answers so far. I'd appreciate responses from those who have already installed a hitch/wiring or have done research on this subject. 1. Does the...

We were offered and rejected one on 6/24 that didn't meet our specifications (no trailer hitch) and were then told it would be 4-8 weeks to be assigned another one. Original order made in December 2019, changed color in March 2020 and added trailer hitch in May. Now we wait as if we're newly...

Thanks for the information. This is all very helpful.

I’d appreciate some advice from those knowledgeable about wheels and tires. Sometime this year we will hopefully become owners of a Tesla Y long range. I plan to buy a set of used rims for winter tires. Since the market for used Y rims is probably limited right now, would Model 3 rims work...

I'm interested if hasn't sold yet.
