Agreed with the wind noise reduction kit. I had front windshield replaced by Tesla, similar new wind noise, and the front rubber filled in the gap significantly helped. I didn't do the doors or anything more than front of the roof between windshield glass and roof glass.

Yes, but depending on a lot of little factors, each person may have a different noise / experience. Mine was pretty noticable, loud before, especially between 60-75 mph. It got much quieter after using these.

Folks (including me) have put some of these rubber wind vortex strip things in the racks and had good luck reducing the whistling. There are a few threads on this here, but here's a direct link to what I used (bought 4-6 of these) removed the OEM rubber insert...

Agreed, I have this same setup with the 1up heavyduty single, it's the best. Really wish Tesla would get bike rack mode to stop the warning messages and yellow/red mustache on the back of the car when bike rack is on, but folks have been wishing for that for years now on this forum.

This was not just the plastic cover, it's the CNC machined metal hitch insert that's much higher quality than others floating around on Amazon, you spend 10 seconds to screw in the tool to pull it out. The guy was covering cost for the low volume he made on the side.

There's a great trailer hitch cover thing from a guy named Marco on these forums. He designed and made a bunch of them. I have one of the preorders and really like it.. really clean and easy way to take it on / off. I recall he got blocked from TMC because he promoted it without following some...

There's some early analysis on this back in 2020 posts , I believe it's 2-3% hit. It's small enough that it didn't matter for me Now loading stuff on the racks.. get ready for a much bigger hit.

I believe they only sell the 3 snowflake version of the Quatrac Pros on Tire Rack, but you might want to double-check you got the snow-rated ones. Apparently there are another version All weather that are non-snow rated. I have done a lot of snow/sleet/ice driving, slipping, slides over years...

Similar thing worked for me, with only the front cross bar needed. Still working great. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/5412047/

I got them from Tire Rack, I'm going on a couple years with them .. got them right after the first winter using the Goodyears, it was a couple months wait back then, but not sure if it's improved or regressed since for the wait. Going to get them again once worn a bit more. They were night and...

Vredestein Quatrac Pro is a great all year round option on the 20" inductions. There are several threads if you search Vredestein here. Much much better than the Goodyears. I use them as the year round all weather tires. Good in snow (3 snowflake rating).

My June 2020 MY LR has gone up and down quite a bit over the years. As everyone mentions on this thread and others.. try as best as you can not to worry about it (unless major drop 30%+) In my case: In June / July I was seeing as low as 283 on range estimate. For the last 2 weeks I am at 296

It's not cheap, but much cheaper than the 60k you mentioned.. Bluetti, Jackery, Ecoflow have a lot of solutions that help and use battery backup power. For $2-3k you can have a pretty sizable backup option, you don't need to buy their solar panels but those are an option too. I went with...

I own the OEM/ only being sold in South Korea Tesla adapter and was just sharing this as potentially a helpful tip for someone looking to get this adapter. You are right, identical was not the right word. Thanks for the corrections.

For folks waiting on getting this. EVSE adapters recently listed an adapter that looks identical to the Korean adapter: https://www.evseadapters.com/products/ccs-1-fast-charger-adapter-for-tesla-new/

Thanks for sharing and good luck on the trip! If you get a chance, would love to see what your gear list / favorite items are.

Agreed, keep them on all the time, enjoy them.. no major range hit, just be a bit more cautious of the glass roof

This is 1up 48" hitch cargo carrier. I mainly went with this because we have our bike racks from 1up and like their stuff. https://www.1up-usa.com/product-category/cargo-carriers/

We are close to a similar story. I'm ~18-20k miles on them, same timeframe June 2020 .. I think you were the one who recommended them and thank you for that! I got them before they were mega backordered. I really wanted one set of tires with a bit more tread that could hold up with some snow...

Vredestein Quatrac Pros have been great in 20", 290-300 Wh/mi after they wore in a bit going 65-70mph .. all weather tires with 3 snowflake rating. They are pretty quiet, I plan to buy them again. I've had them so long I forgot you could get better efficiency with better / less rolling...

This is close to the 160 lbs. 42-45 lbs for the hitch cargo carrier 110 lbs of a big heavy camping box. Has worked ok, overall happy with the setup.

I went with the hitch carrier too, more for having a big camping box ready for car camping. - This one is the 1up hitch cargo carrier - I am definitely getting closer to the weight limit.. but works well for us.

I would love 50 more miles in the MYLR. Being from the SF Bay area, we do almost weekly ski trips on weekends to Tahoe in the winter. It's 215 miles to Tahoe but 7000k elevation gain through the Sierras. I always have to charge once going to Tahoe, never on the way back going downhill. 50 more...

NEMA 5-20 adapter, I've used at several places / hotels on the road. It's a big improvement over 5-15 where you can almost overnight charge with it 12-20 hours and common enough that I'm always checking at places we stay. I've used this once, was cool to use it. It was at a resort that had bus...

Got mine fairly quick, no login needed, 7-8 days from ordering. Really cool, just tried it out at an Electrify America station 150 kWh to confirm it works. Only got 62 kW/h but this was with higher state of charge 75% and not much driving to warm up the battery. Definitely a good option, will...

There is a good chance it won't be all chargers. Imagine two or three stalls having CCS ready. I think it's a good thing if this is how it's rolled out. Depending where you are a lot of these sit idle all day and can be increasing the supercharger value / expansion. If it's all stalls, I am...

Similar thing fixed the OEM roof rack noise I was getting. I got these rubber strips from Rhino rack which helped https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/5412047/

Agreed on roof and don't plan on the hitch carrier for this. But to your comments on 20% range hit. I haven't seen that large of a hit with bike or cargo behind the car.

Yes, I removed the rubber on the OEM and these can slide into the channel where the rubber was.

Not for everyday driving, but for a big trip with easy gear transport I recently got this hitch mounted cargo carrier. Will share pictures next time I have it on. I didn't really think about carrying a spare tire on it, but this is another option if you really want it and extra space...

+1 to bike mode and snow mode. Hitch mounted bike racks like the 1up are great with the MY, low profile, look great, industrial strength, and easy to use. I use it often and keep it on regularly the bike is part of our commute setup. With the 1up super duty single the quickest way to remove...

I have observed similar behavior. I started doing the same work around of pick a landmark nearby the supercharger and 10-15 minutes before you get there switch back to the supercharger location to get some preconditioning in.

This box was probably the largest I have fit and not really much more room. It slid all the way up the middle and trunk closed with a little room to spare. Taking the height and width, it was ~78 inches long, ~24 inches wide

Nothing here, but I already purchased the mudflaps. May 2020 MY.

Shasta is a great stop / supercharger area when you reach Northern California. Lots of chargers and a nice mountain town Lots of chargers once you reach California should have no problems. - one optimization, look for V3 chargers .. ie: Red Bluffs is the first V3 after Shasta (not the best...

This pretty much eliminated the wind noise I was getting, looks like it didn't for everyone, but is cheap and worth a try. You have to cut them to size and I removed the rubber gap filler to put these in. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/5412047/ Also I have this, tried it first and...

Saw it today driving by! Was going west and didn't need to charge but looking forward to it next time headed up 80 East. This was mid-afternoon 5 spots open. What I love about the V3 chargers is that they don't split the load when it's full. That means even if packed, people should move out...

You may be able to use the one that comes with it, but it's tight. Others mentioned this and I did the same, email 1up support and ask for the angled pin. That works well.

Snow and Ice Mode ! This setting, minimum for doing similar to off-road assist 4 wheel drive all the time. - chill acceleration - reduce regen I have been using off-road assist on the snowiest / slippery days in Tahoe this winter.. it makes a big difference, especially on side roads / steep...

I looked at this going west on I-80 yesterday afternoon, I saw the fences still up but I swear I saw a white Model Y parked / at the chargers there. I wish this was on the other side walking distance to Ikedas.

127kW is still pretty good! Even at 250kW you will only be close to that rate for a short percentage of the charge.. - is: 20-30% - then it falls off. I don't think I've ever seen 200kW+ for longer than 5 minutes of charging. Then I'm down at 100-150 kW. I care more now a days that I'm at a...

Got the update this morning, the whole family loved the light show. It was definitely loud too, I was tempted to turn it down with the volume control it prompts you with but went for it anyway. Also missing the quick cards for energy, tire pressure. Wish those were still there. Live sentry is...

I had a minor gap in the trunk June 2020 MY LR. I did the first service a month ago and asked the service center to fix it along with change air filters, check HVAC replacement thing, and install a hitch. If you can wait and batch it with a service center stop it's not too bad. I did have to...

Got mine, early last week as one of the pre orders Same! I use the hitch for our 1up superduty regularly. This makes it so much easier to install / remove. Very happy with it. Another shout out to Marco for making this so much easier and great design!

I had an old Thule ski rack and switched to the Yakima Fatcat Evo 6. It's more efficient / looks better IMO. I believe similar 10-15% efficiency loss related to the racks on. I vaguely remember the few experiences with the Thule racks being slightly more. I like the way the Thule products...

Actively lurking in this thread awaiting some news!!

As others mentioned, don't worry about it but to always be prepared take a look at the Tesla supercharger / destination charger map or plugshare to confirm there's charging there if you really need it. We've been far away from chargers for whole weekends (camping, visiting friends, ..) using...

Got this done at service shop alongside installation of a Trailer Hitch. Same high / low sensor parts mentioned here and control arm seals check. - Additionally finally fixed a panel gap on the trunk. - Additionally cleaned cabin air filters Took 2 days for everything.

Still love them! Would get them again. I have tried not to care about range impact, I still get ~268-280 Wh/mi with roof racks too. 3 snow flakes ... I would feel comfortable with them in New England winters (grew up in NH). I know the Cross Climate 2 are supposed to be great too, but these are...

Following up, the car woke up last night and it was able to be controlled via the app. There may be something happening with deep sleep + airport parking. Maybe lock/ unlock remotely, which I started doing and hadn't done before, can put it into deep sleep. I hadn't seen multiday unable to...
