We just finished a 5481 mile trip. I put Door Ease stainless lube on all of the wheel cover contact points at 500 miles. No noise! Averaged 289 WH/M with the wheel covers on. I don’t plan to repeat the trip without the wheel covers to test the aero effect, or remove the covers to inspect for...

Refer to the first post. Mine remain quiet at 900 miles now. Door-ease worked !

Noise can alert pedestrians! They’ll turn around and expect to see a Chevrolet Chevette coming at them!

It’s the height above the floor that really makes the seating position much more comfortable. It’s about 5” taller because the seats are mounted on floor risers under the carpeting. I’m 6’4” and it just took one “sitting” to convince me!!! My wife is 4’11” and needed a pillow in the Model 3...

We wanted something removable so we went with the Tesmanian mesh sunshield. It blocks a lot of heat and is still translucent. Going up to 104 for the next few days. It can be removed and folded up to fit in its tote bag. Allows star gazing later when it’s cooler.

Approximately 19” -19 1/2” Seat back to the front welt of the bottom bolster.

My Model Y wheel covers made the same crackling sound (or worse). I applied a very light coating of “Door Ease” wax type lubricant on all of the contact surfaces clip hooks, center hub tabs, and around entire wheel lip. Sound is gone. The lube is kind of like “chapstick” for cars. Won’t herm...

We love our Model Y! Two minor adjustments after we got it home. Panel gaps, paint, interior, trim, ride, handling, lack of noise. All good. VIN in the 11000‘s.

YelloPro windshield foil made for the Model Y was $29.99 on Amazon. Nice dimpled quilt. Made in the USA. Perfect fit.

Our easy solution is to lock a hitch and 2” ball into the receiver with a bright tennis ball to minimize shin bruises. 3500 lb avoidance to help protect the hatch/bumper/paint.

It looks like the “expanding foam” that is applied inside the quarter panel before paint. Designed to expand in paint bake ovens to seal gaps at joints and deaden sound. Excess can be trimmed with a careful razor blade and touched up with white paint to blend. Tesla service or DIY if you have...
