Here is my solution. This was solo with two pairs of skis, but could still have a third seat in the back and add more skis, maybe 6 pairs on the right. I have a rack and a pod but have not used the pod very much because there is a lot of room in the back of the Y. Extra bonus is that you can...

Tessie at Mt Hood Meadows

I have the Sottoero 3 on my MY and am happy with them.

The paint damage above is my MY. I got some satin black PPF installed along the rockers and flared up at the rear door. This is in addition to the Tesla mud lflaps on the front and I think the Basenor ones on the rear. I am thinking of adding the Tesla PPF clear films to even protect the satin...

Some selective PPF application to protect the lower doors and the fender flair, after the paint was blasted thruogh to the white primer below. I think I will also add the Tesla clear PPF rear flair protection to help the satin black PPF survive longer. Lots of time in snow country (~1500mi)...

I ran the SottoZero3's from Tsportline with their 19" wheels on Mt Hood and was very happy with them. 79 days of skiing and living most of the winter in Govy and skiing at Meadows. MY is an awesome care in the snow, especially with good studless snow tires. Make sure you have good mud flaps and...

I used the SottoZero3's last winter and will again this winter with no noise issues. Better dry road traction with the OEM Conti's, much better snow/ice traction with the SottoZeros and about even in the wet.

I got some satin black PPF swooshes installed last week at Alset in PDX ( that is my MY above in this post) This covers the damage mostly (there are still scratches in the clear coat above these swooshes) and I am looking at adding the Tesla PPF arches on top of this to protect my PPF and see...

My rear door corners took a sever beating on my MY last winter in my travels in snow country. This is the errosion experienced after less than 1k miles in snow with gravel on the paved roads near Mt Hood last winter. I got the aftermarket mudflaps as soon as they were available and the Tesla...

I came from a 2008 Acura RDX that is comparable in size and handling but the MY (June, 2020) has way more acceleration. I used to think 240 HP was good but the Y is great. It also has absolutely zero throttle lag. The RDX does try to keep the turbo spooled up at lower revs but still have...

I ran the SottoZero3's last winter and were very happy with them both snow and wet/cold. Mt Hood, Oregon, 76 days on snow.

This is the level of rear door damage I received before I was able to get the Amazon Mud Flaps and I replaced the front ones with the Tesla ones as soon as I could get them (~12k miles of which ~3k miles in snow). Also note that the front edge of the rear door was seriously eroded because it...

I got the Sottozero 3's and drove them all winter on Mt Hood in Oregon which has feet of snow most of the winter. We had 1 - 5 feet at our Cabin in government caps and Mt Hood Meadows had 3 feet to 15 feet at the parking lot. Most f the winter the parking lot was snow and ice covered and I must...

Pacific NW same problem. No salt but we gravel/pumice (see the porous pink rock in the tread) a lot and it sand blasts Tesla's. My 12YO Acura has only <5% this level of damage and has seen similar conditions. Also same story at the SC. Looking into getting some trim stripes that cover from the...

Similar in Red also after less than one year. I confronted my SC (Portland, OR) and they said normal wear and tear. The white is the primer and the red has a lot of clear coat damage that extends way beyond what the PPF kit covers (look at all of the frosty steaks that extend to the front doors...

I went with the T Sportline package with the Sottozero3's. Spent all winter on Mt Hood with 90% snow conditions and they worked very well. The picture is late November, later in the season we had over 10' at the parking lot and about 6' in Government Camp where we were staying. No Chill Mode...

Steve, How well do you think the paint correction and PPF will work on my Y? I got the paint kit and the PPF and am wondering whether it is worth even trying to fix. I now have the Tesla mud flaps on the front and the Amazon ones on the rear to limit further damage. ~6k miles in total and about...

My Y is a lower SN~6xxx and I have been driving it since last June. Total miles ~6,000 but ~1,500 of that was in snow with gravel in it. Severe paint damage and I did put on the mud flaps as soon as they were available, but the damage was already done. My 12 year old Acura RDX which has seen...

Yes after one winter going skiing my Y has the fender flares nearly worn through the red paint. I put on the aftermarket flaps when they were first available and the OEM ones right after that when they were available, but too late to avoid the damage. Car is less than one year old and has about...

Frunk, Tesla charger bag with adaptors and a cooler for cool beverages And MY Trunk, chair, boot warmer plugged into rear outlet, two sets of skis and my ski bag with everything else. Right seat folded down for the skis.

Here are the pictures. My 12 year old Acura RDX does not have any similar damage even with very similar snow/gravel exposure.

I have some fairly severe paint damage (Red Multicoat) to both rear doors from driving in the snow this winter. I have 5k miles and less than half of it was in snow. That said I did install front and rear mud flaps ASAP, but by the time I had installed them the damage was done. I went ahead...

Just get the mud flaps on ASAP All the white spots are where the red paint is gone and the white undercoat is exposed. Do not see any exposed metal yet. Just over 5k miles.

Mine also had some significant damage with just over 5,000 miles and much of that in winter snow and gravel on snow. I put on the aftermarket mud flaps as soon as I could get them and replaced the fronts with Tesla ones when I could get them. What I would like is some durable black PPF trim...

I have been driving my MY regularly in severe snow conditions to and from Mount Hood Meadows (with a 162" base at the lodge). Have not had any driving problems but get various warnings of blocked sensors (some of these are even on sunny snow free days). The backup camera has gotten covered many...

Acura RDX 2007 and 2008 NIce SUV but very conservative compared to the Y and much more instant power.

On the wipers I agree that I miss not having a direct control on a stalk but I have learned that if you push in on the stalk you activate the wipers for two cycles and this can be repeated as often as needed. It also brings up the wiper display window where you can select one of the four speeds...

From Mount Hood in Oregon

My comparison is a 2008 Acura RDX with Nokian WR G4 tires vs. Tesla MY LR with the Sottozero's. The big difference is that the Y have much more power/torque and it is instant. The allows me to get the tail happy and get some wheel slippage but it is very good at keeping things under control. The...

I have been driving my Y here on Mt Hood Oregon and have seen some large changes in rated range with snow, cold and elevation changes. The good news is that you get back almost all of the elevation change drain on the way back down and it handles very well in the snow. That said I have been...

MY2Ski (also known as Tessy)

My setup is the normal TSportline TST/Sottozero winter package.

Seems to be about 1-7/8" and the cross bars follow the curve of the glass.

Sottozeros also work on Mt Hood.

I went with the T-Sportline package and the Sottozero's. Mt Hood, Oregon Seemed to work well but I did not get a chance to fully test them on the snow and ice because of the local security. My prior ride is a 2008 Acura RDX with Nokian WRG4's and they seem similar but the SH-AWD seems more...

Thanks for the "snow report". I am looking forward to getting my Y out in the soft stuff and see how it handles. Should have my Sottozeros on her by then. Red AWD LR

Does anyone know if there is a card key option that will unlock the doors but not allow the car to be driven (Not quite a valet key)? I would like this functionality for my grandson when we go skiing. Be able to go back to the car to get something or warm up, but not risk him being able to drive it.

I have keep unlocked at home on but it requests the card key whether at home or on the road. The thing that made a difference is using the card key on the driver's pillar and then it does not ask again when I am inside. Still strange and unexplained.

This is happening to me also. Recently when I get in the car it lets me in with my phone, but asks for the card key every time. It has never done this before??

I also have a red model Y (non performance) and have a set of 19" TST's with Sottozero's coming in space gray here in Tigard OR. Wonder when they are going to ship them to us?

You may not have to pay sales tax if you "buy" them and have them shipped to Bend.

Another answer from the Portland area (Tigard - Ski Instructor at Mt Hood Meadows). Technically M&S with AWD, and a few other requirements (like carrying chains) qualifies you as having traction tires as far as ODOT is concerned. Oregon Chain Law | TripCheck - Oregon Traveler Information " A...

I ordered a set but they have not been shipped yet. Will update after they arrive. Tesla Model Y 19" TST Flow Forged Tesla Wheel and Tire Package

I put my Necky Looksha IV (18') on my Y with Gull Wing saddles from Oak Orchard and it worked very well. I unscrewed the front towing eye hole and screwed the eye into it to anchor the front end. I did not do the rear (which I normally do) because I did not have a second eye. I even came back on...

My MY had some strange behavior today. When I got out and then I let the dog out of the back seat, the car locked and would not open with my phone. I had to get out my card key and after I got back in I had to re connect my connection to my phone. Strangely now the FM radio does not work, even...

Installed my Taptes USB hub today and it is tricky to install but seems to be working

I pulled the trigger on a set from Tsportline Space Gray with 19" Sottozero3's (my MY has a roof rack, but otherwise looks the same) I asked TireRack several time if they were going to be offering wheels but they could not even give me a date.

I installed the Tesla Rack and a week ago went paddling with my 18' kayak. On the way back I took a long cut which was a nice twisty road. The 100# on the roof did move the CG up but did not effect the handling very much. No cracks or anything but I was extra careful loading and unloading the...

Two sets is the way to go if you have the $. The other option I used on my Acura RDX was the Nokian WR G4 which is mileage rated and snow rated year round tire. Not the best summer or winter, but close and you do not have to swap anything.

Yes we tried adjusting it but it has a very limited range and my wife needs is several inches lower than its lowest setting, therefore we got the clip.
