I use one and have been towing a popup camper for a year now. It works as expected and I didn't even know what a brake controller was prior to buying the Y.

I bought the cheapest lock + ball pin combo at a uhaul. It's working without issues.

Thanks. I'll check them out. My main purpose is to heat the camper. We live in the Seattle area. The surrounding 100 miles or so have cloudy / rainy weather 8 months in a year. I was reading somewhere that Coleman sells a cig lighter adapter to run the internal heater if I can power the fan with...

It is painless since it's plug and play. I didn't know what a brake controller is a week ago :). This directly goes into the Tesla installed 7 pin plug and the brakes are being applied as expected without me doing anything else. It's $200, but other options seem to need to run additional wiring...

Another huge huge difference Tesla made is with Autopilot. Cruising slightly slower than rest of the traffic in the right lane at 60 mph, it's like a nice train ride!

We took out the camper this weekend towing with the Y. The consumption was about 350 wh/m. Plugged in at the campground while there. Feeling bold, I did take a detour to go to a more remote day camping area near Elma WA Google Maps. It was amazing. We spent a few hours there on the way back...

I did about 300 miles of mixed driving involving flat roads and windy mountain roads, 80% on interstates or state highways at 60-65 mph. The consumption is clocking in average 350 wh/m. Easy to remember 1% charge gets us 2 miles with the camper in the back. :)

There are good videos on youtube with exact temperatures and battery drain. I did it 3 times and it's about 1% every hour with ~55 F outside and 72 F set in the car.

I said this in the other post without being specific but the backup camera is able to show the hitch ball receiver pin while backing up to attach to the trailer. With this, I was able to hook and unhook without anyone helping / guiding. Also, Saturday was the first time I ever towed anything or...

I drove about 60 miles round trip last night on I-90 East from Renton. The road goes towards the mountains, so it's sort of a good representation of a non-flat road. I did 60 mph with auto-pilot (turned off the trailer mode). The overall consumption averaged 355 wh/m. For my style of driving, I...

some more pics.

Hitch is installed. Everything works. The camper has controllable brakes. I bought a Curt Echo bluetooth brake controller and inserted it into the Tesla and inserted the camper cable into the controller. When Tesla regens, the camper brakes are activated. It's like magic. :) I did a short 20...

woot! Hitch is installed. Everything works. I bought a Curt Echo bluetooth brake controller. I tried hooking up a 13 foot camper with dry weight 1200 lbs and drove for 6 miles in hilly terrain around my house. The regen when I pull the camper in the back is activating the brakes of the camper...

My car is in the SC today to get this done. Fingers crossed that they actually do it and I can pickup the car in a few hours.

Model Y tow package is back in stock. I called Renton and Bellevue SCs to find if they installed a tow package on another car and both said yes. I placed an online order on 9.3.20 and picked Renton for delivery. Took a mobile service appointment for 9.16 hoping I can switch to service center...

I bought a popup camper to tow with the Tesla . But since I don't have a hitch yet, I had to borrow a friend's car to get it home. Have an appointment with the local Tesla service center tomorrow to get the hitch done and do some testing on consumption.

The mattress is Exped megamat 10 duo - Medium double. Check and confirm that you see these numbers Medium Double: 72 x 41 x 3.9 inches.

Oh man, this sounds like a delayed story again for the hitch just like the delivery. I just placed an order for the hitch and bought a popup camper assuming I can use it before winter is here pulling it using the Tesla. Did anyone get their hitch installed at Tesla after delivery ? I may just...

Me and a friend, both ordered from backpacking-united on the same day. I then saw it was in stock at REI and canceled the backpacking-united order and simultaneously placed an order at REI. Funny thing is both my order and my buddy's order arrived Thursday and Friday of the next week...

Another item I tried out as a novice camper is the kelty discovery bundle at REI that's on sale now. It's a 4 person tent + 2 sleeping pads ( 1.5 inch thick ) + 2 sleeping bags ( 39 F rated ). All come in one carry bag. I threw it in the frunk and it fits like it's made for the car . Here's...

I bought a cooler that plugs into the 12v in the cargo area. Link : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U6YTMRM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_YDLjFb50DS8DT I used it last night where it was plugged in thru the night with the car in the camp mode from 11 PM to about 7 am. Outside temp dipped to 56 or so at the...

This is probably the most sought item for camping this year in this size. It had been sold out everywhere for weeks now. I am assuming it's the megamat duo medium 72 inch x 41 inch right ? I ordered it from a store in Germany and waiting for delivery.

Might be a trivial question but, is the fix, replacing the glass ? I was planning to mount a rooftop tent on this thing. Now I am scared to touch the fricking glass.

Sorry, forgot adding the build date. I am not sure if there is a way to check but when I called the Renton showroom, they told it's coming off the line that day ( July 13 ) .

I picked it up in Renton. The VIN is 265**. I saw a few other Ys the day of delivery and didn't see any obvious defects.

Hi everyone. My new Red Y was delivered a week ago and we (2 adults and 1 small child) did 2 small road trips of which one involved overnight camping. Autopilot assisted road trips and overnight camping in random places is one of the key use cases for this car for me. I tried searching for...

Wanted to come back and post this thread as an update. I am the OP. I got a new Model Y LR with 19 inch Gemini wheels. The ride is super smooth and noise isolation is better than my Macan. Just to be sure, we made 2 road-trips of 500 miles r/t each before concluding. The auto pilot, as expected...

I got vin 265XX and was told on phone today that it just got built today. Tentatively scheduled delivery for Friday afternoon.

I got it last Tuesday before last week. Ordered 04/10/20, Red / Black, LR AWD, 19'', no FSD

I drove both and Model X. A good way to think about is if Model X has the space of a minivan, Model Y has the space of a mid-size SUV. Aside from space, Model X with the 6 seat configuration is probably the best car to transport multiple kids in car seats. The seat config of a Y will force you...

Did anyone get an update on red Y ? I suddenly stopped getting updates after the " 1-2 weeks" text. At both Renton and Bellevue locations, there's not a single Red Y in the lot.

Bouncing this thread to see if anyone get a Red Y. I got the "2-4 weeks" text and the "1-2 weeks" text but no scheduled delivery as others with white and blue exteriors are getting. I toured the nearest Tesla location as well and they don't have a single Red Y on the lot but multiple Blue, White...

You can reach out to the WA DMV and update your address. Or even better walk into one of the offices and handle it.

I didn't get the text today! I got both the "2-4 weeks" and "1-2 weeks" texts.

This sounds really bad. Sad when you waited for so long and end up with a disappointment. Do you mind posting a few pictures if you took them ?

This is my config too! Do you mind sharing your order date ?

C'mon free super charging! That would rain cancellation and re-orders!

I drove through the Renton store lot yesterday and there were over 10 MYs parked. Over half of them white, a few red. Only 2 were Gemini wheels I noticed.

Anyone think if Tesla will punish if too many people decide to do this ? There might be just a few orders with no intent of accepting, and Tesla should probably understand that is there is a problem.

Are you doing cash for the car ? I am wondering if folks will need to apply for a second loan.

By the base price logic, do you guys think we will qualify for the sales tax rebate in WA as well ? For model 3 orders, the lowered sales tax is automatically applied.

I am thinking of changing my res from Red / Black to Red / White, do you guys think I will potentially miss this 2-4 week boat and would end up waiting for like end of Q3 ? :( Edit : Original order was on 04/10/20. And got the 2-4 week text.

Sweet. Congrats. Do you mind sharing your order date and config ?

I got a call from my SA today to let me know i will get it by end of month. Red / Black / Gemini - No FSD. Ordered 04/10/20. No Vin yet.

My Tesla advisor said they'll match CarMax as long the request is made before June 1 and it will remain valid for 30 days after.

Congrats. When did you order ?

That's crazy. Is that toothpaste ? Wtf.

I gave in and submitted credit app :D

I got this text today as well. I asked to clarify if this meant finishing the loan or not. I didn't hear back yet.

Got the same message this morning. Order 04/10/20 Red, Black, LR AWD, Gemini wheels Seattle
