    Low Voltage Lithium-ion Negative Terminal Location?

    I have an LED Frunk light kit that requires it to be connected to positive 12v and ground. It assumes my Model Y has the old lead acid battery and terminals. I can't figure out how to connect the terminals with the battery shown in this post. The positive is there but I can't see where I can...

    Dimensions of the Model Y

    I contacted Tesla via their chat support (Customer and Product Support | Tesla Support) on this topic. Here is the transcript... Me: "What is the ground clearance for each of the Model Y variants? I have a steep and short driveway and have difficulty getting in and out of the Model 3. I need...
