    Portaging Kayaks?

    Carry two kayaks. No big deal. Use one Malone cradle and pads on the other side to carry the other kayak flat. Tie the rear off to the tow hitch and the front off to a soft double loop strap attached the frunk. I use cut pool noodles to protect paint at the contact points. Carrying kayaks...

    My new Model Y's range SUCKS

    One more data point. My wife and I drove from Harrisburg to Cranberry Twp on the PA Turnpike yesterday and today; a trip of 230 miles. If you have driven this road it’s not exactly flat as it goes through and over the PA mountains. We started with the battery preconditioned and a 90% SOC...

    Picked up Model Y Today Substandard Tires - Class Action

    FWiW, I had a VW Passat and a Subaru Legacy and for both of those cars I was only able to get 30k out of the OEM tires. In both cases, the replacement tires went well over 50k. I suspect they were manufacturer intro tires.

    Roof rack intended to be permanent install?

    On the install make sure the glass roof sits below the rails. When the pads are tightened there should be no contact with the glass. There should be gap of 1/32”-1/16” between the underside of the pad and the glass. If the pad is on the glass it will crack when you tighten it down. For my...

    Anyone with a Tesla roof rack...I need some help!

    When torquing down the pads I hand tightened the nuts and used the wrench to align the nuts, about a half a turn. Rack is tight and doesn’t move. I was super careful when doing this as I had read about problems. There is a photo of the clip pockets in early in this thread. Model Y Roof...

    Anyone with a Tesla roof rack...I need some help!

    I put the rack on and requested Mobile service to come out and check my install as I had trouble with the driver side front pad. Tech said all was good. The pad should not contact the glass. There should be a slight gap between the pad and glass. On my rack the gap is about 1/32”-1/16”...

    ("Normal" delivery states): Does it make a difference to wait to make final payment?

    Everybody was masked up. The DA was there to answer questions, basic car orientation, help us set up with our phones, process paperwork, etc. I wouldn’t call it touch less, but rather cautious help. Good no rush experience. For service I will be using the Lancaster SC as I am in...

    ("Normal" delivery states): Does it make a difference to wait to make final payment?

    I took delivery at Devon two weeks ago of VIN 60,8xx. I paid by ACH the day before. I was able to spend as much time with the car as I wanted prior to accepting delivery. My thinking was, worst case I would reject and wait for another car or cancel order and get a refund from Tesla. I...

    That is frustrating. Give the delivery team a call and have them fix it. They maybe able to overnight the updated documents to you or you could stop in and have them fix them on the spot.
