Absolutely! The website is TeslaStuff.weebly.com. Just shoot me an email with what you would like and any questions and I'll get right back to you. Me email is all over the website. HTH! Steve

Hi Everyone! I've been a little quiet lately because I've been working on a bunch of stuff. I just activated a couple of new pages on the website to introduce the ModelYShelf.2, with all of the latest updates, including the new 3D printed rear hooks, a new cut, and several other incremental...

They are nice, Rob. Thank you for all of your effort as the Development Team Leader for them! Most of you know by now that I've been making the same kind of parcel shelf for the Chevy Volt for a number of years. This came out of the same situation. I bought a car with a sticker price as...

The S does come with one or one is available. There is not one for the X. I was actually asked to make a shelf for the S at one point, and Telsa came out with one shortly after that. There has never been one for the X. I have been asked to make one for an X, but do not have a car to do the...

This set is white just so you can really see them against the black background. The production versions will all be black. Special requests for other colors can be accommodated, but these will take a little time and be custom made to order. There may be a moderate charge for custom orders.

Sure! Buy WHY????

They will all be basic black at this point. We will be able to accommodate special colors and patterns at some point in the near future. I'm all ears if you have a request at this point. Glow in the dark, anyone?? Steve

And here is a special edition Buffalo Bills we did. Because we can!

Here is a picture, BTW. This is one of the early demo sets. They are white to show it against the black trunk walls and shelf. The rounded back that extends back to the trunk side increases their stability tremendously.

Hi Everyone, Yes, the new brackets are real! I've been mum about this because we have been testing and tweaking a bit but now that the word is out there, I guess it is time to move forward. I will post to the forum shortly about them. NYRob has been instrumental in the design and...

A quick ModelYShelf/ModelYStuff Update March was a BUSY month at the shop. In addition to keeping things humming, we made a lot of forward progress. We just introduced the new Special Edition WhiteOut Edition of the ModelYShelf. Yes, I've wanted to do this for a while, but sometimes things...

I've got the prototypes made and they are out for a little testing with Stach. Hoping that he posts about them in the next few days. Once we get a thumbs up, I'll start production and have the first batch ready in just a few days.

I would be happy to! I haven't heard about this before. Sounds like a pretty simple thing if I'm reading this right. Check out my brand new ChargeSleeve, and imagine a mini version of this for the seat belt buckles. NEW! ChargeSleeve for all EVs Let me know what you think, and I should...

Hi Pete9tx, The current ModelYShelf is cut to fit with the seats fully reclined. It can be used in the car with the seats upright, but it won't lift properly though the trunk opening. I suppose I could make a modified one that would. If you would send me an email at...

Great question! Absolutely! We currently supply options for 4 different ways to attach the lifting string to the hatch. And you don't even need to pop the strut off of it's mount to attach the string directly. You can just remove the string from the shelf, hang it over the mount and pull...

Hi MYP2021! There have been no reports at all of any glare issues with the white ModelYShelf, or any other colors/materials for that matter. I strongly suspect that the tined rear glass keeps this from being an issue. The ModelYShelf is cut to be used with the rear seats in their fully...

Hi Stack151, Here are a couple of pictures for you. The neoprene is a very flat surface that it doesn't photograph, at least not for this amateur. It is jet black and the look and feel in person is really cool. This is a picture of it on a VoltShelf. Let me know if you have more questions...

I don't have any actual numbers for the Model Y, but all of the owners that I am talking to are reporting that the car is quieter and less "Boomy." I have done specific instrumented tests on the Chevy Volt, with and without a VoltShelf. two customers repeated these tests at my direction with...

The neoprene is actual wetsuit material. Foam in the middle, nylon on both sides. I saw some at my supplier's place a while back and couldn't resist getting it. And it has become very popular. A sleek, matte look, soft and padded to the touch. I thought there was a picture up on the site...

Black is closer. But here is a thought to consider and the reason that some folks like the graphite. With everything else being black, the shelf makes some folks think that the trunk is an endless black hole. The graphite is a great color and looks fine with the black interior. So some folks...

I'm glad you like the idea, SDM44! Others can chime in with their experience, but I'll try to help out. I've not had any complaints at all about glare from any of the ModelYShelves yet. I've made a similar item for the Chevy Volt for 7+ years and there has been very little concern about...

I'm the guy that developed the ModelYShelf. I'm here to help if you have any questions or would like one. Thanks, Steve

No new pics this time, Rob. Relatively minor changes, not really anything that will be discernable in photographs, just cleaned up some areas that I've wanted to for a while and updated the manufacturing process a bit to get an improved and more consistent finish. Great on the Tesla...

Hi Everyone, A quick update on the ModelYShelf. I have just finished some updates on the shelf itself, and a complete update of the installation instructions. Installation should now be easier and faster than ever, and the ModelYShelf is improved in several small ways to be a better fit and...

Hi Everyone, I just discovered that some folks interested in a ModelYShelf have completed the contact form on my website, but the notification has not been sent to me. I don't know when that problem started, but I will be going back through all of the contacts that have been logged and...

Sometimes, function has to win over form. Thank you for posting this, frankvb. As long as it does the job for you, I'm all for it. But it is a good illustration of why a support from below is far more difficult to have than one might think. The concave trunk wall and that storage well make...

I'm glad to help, Stach! I've said for years that it isn't everyday that folks buy the kind of stuff that I make, so there are bound to be questions. Knowing that, I try to make sure we are getting them all answered. And I get to make s lot of friends along the way. Steve

Hi Stach, The black support brackets are metal. They hang over the plastic sidewalls of the trunk. The bulb seal at the top of the trunk sides hides this well. We have recently added dots of Velcro that will secure them in place and protect the sides better than before. The metal...

Hi Stach, I am the ModelYShelf guy. I'm going to stay mostly out of the discussion and let you get reviews from customers like Frank and Rob above. But I do want you to know that I am here to help and answer any questions that you may have for me as well, here or if you want to ema me...

Good questions! The ModelyShelf is designed to be installed with both seats y reclined. From sitting in one and conferring with multiple owners, it was pretty clear that this was the preferred position for most folks. If the wider seat is fully reclined, I'm fairly sure that a spacer behind...

Hi Everyone, Time for a quick update on the ModelYShelf. I've now heard from several folks that a little Velcro on the rear support hooks completely resolves the concerns some have expressed, making them more stable and secure in place. Effective immediately, I am going to add this to the...

Absolutely, CknNutBread! We sell a lot of things right here at the shop! Let me know what color/material you want and when you are coming, I'll have it ready for you. And best of all, you'll get a free charge while you are here, a cold drink to refresh your spirit, and I'll install it for...

They are absolutely awesome for this purpose. We are working on the specific installation instructions for them now. I am planning to supply these with the with all ModelYShelf kits going forward. You are correct, drilling the holes for these is intimidating, especially with a brand new car...

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! We have experimented extensively with command hooks and strips with the VoltShelf. The adhesive only holds for a short time, Almost certaintly due to the heat that builds up inside of a car. Sugru looks interesting, but it is non structural and may have trouble...

Thank you, srlawren. Nothing is ever perfect, and there is nothing wrong with a little ongoing development. The ModelYShelf product is good and will certainly fill a need for many. Tweaks to make it even better aren't a bad thing. And I have always considered my products to be sort of "open...

Send me an email and we can get you set up.

I've been working on a few options for the carabiners, srlawren. One is a simple velcro strap that replaces the carabiner. Easy to install, easy to remove, no sound, no damage. I personally don't like it quite as much, but I do want to give folks a quick release option that they want. On...

Probably that last period got you. TeslaStuff.weebly.com

Hi Everyone, A quick update to this thread. The Model Y cargo cover mentioned above is available and we have improved the design in several ways over the past month or so. There is a separate thread here that I have been posting to, but I thought I should update you here as well. Installation...

I've had the chance to look at this more closely. Several issues come to the front pretty quickly. When the hatch is raised, the ModelYShelf will lift with it The legs would be in the down position and swing upward with it. Due to the geometry, they will end up pointing downward and...

Magnetic attachment has come up in our discussions, and is definitely under consideration. We have tested Command strips in similar applications and the results have been less than optimal. The heat that builds up inside of cars in the summer is a killer. Automotive trim tape is a...

It will also quiet down noise from the back of the car. Unfortunately only noise from behind the second row. You will still have to deal with the wailing from the second row. Beautiful noise, but it still can get old. ;) If nothing else, it will cover the stroller, diaper bag, pack n play...

Yes, absolutely. It would likely need to be dismounted when installing the car seat, but that is now a no-hassle, 10 second thing. HTH! Steve

Interesting possibility, spokey. I'll take a look at it.

This is a possibility, and I am looking into this idea. But would require drilling 3-4 holes in each side of the trunk sidewall. It might be possible with permanent automotive trim tape. Either way it is going to leave some mark or damage if removed. It could also be an option for folks that...

Thank you, gunthermic! I hate it when that happens.... I believe I have fixed it now.

I am working on a couple of possibilities for these, but there are some serious limitations due to the design/shape of the rear of the car, the hatch opening, and inside of the trunk area. If folks are willing to have a bracket that is screwed in to the sidewall from below, that is very...

You read my mind! I have now updated the website with a few pictures of the new headrest hooks. I will update it further this evening with pics of the carabineers as soon as I am able to take them. HTH! TESLASTUFF Steve

I am now including the headrest hooks (as pictured by xtnviera) as well as carabineers for the lifting strings with every ModelYShelf. Together, these make installation a snap, and the seatbacks are protected from the suspension cords. HTH!

Hi Everyone, With the help of a few customers like Jabnlab and Frankvb (Thank you both!), we have continued developing the ModelYShelf making it easier to install and take down than any of our cargo shelves ever. The headrest hooks for the forward attachment point and the carabineers for the...
