I have those two and would also add a third: 3. Emergency or construction vehicles on the shoulder with flashing lights. This seems to a huge source of confusion for the software. And while yes it should be careful, braking forcefully is not the answer

yes as at the time (haven't checked again) the factory hitch had a lot of caveats about limits to the rise. There were also some reports of hitch failure so we didn't want to take any chances. And we were able to reduce the tongue weight significantly by moving the batteries, changing to...

Yes the 16'. Also want to add @ohmman that you were very helpful with your posts and answering a couple questions to get us set-up so thank you 🙌

We have used one with a 3.5" rise and towed an airstream bambi for a year with no issues. We did replace the Tesla installed hitch with a DrawTite

Just moved from the Bay Area but when there I lived in new construction - I think they are confused as new construction requires a way to charge EVs. So my house had a 220 outlet installed in the garage when we moved in. We used it with the mobile charger with no problems and was great as we...

How can you use when towing? On my Y, it deactivates when tow mode is activated

After having the CCS charger for a week and a half - I now have 5 different charge apps for all the various chargers and have not been able to charge on any without an initial issue. I am happy I have but is a hassle. Need to try Electrify America and Chargepoint as hoping they may have less...

How heavy is it? I think you will be right at the limit of range so would have a back-up plan of possible - where you could drop the trailer and come back, other non-Tesla chargers, etc. If you run into a headwind you likely won't make it and even without one I probably wouldn't chance it...

great post @WALLEVE . To your point on it not being in the manual with regards to using a WD hitch, I was sure you were wrong, so went to check and I didn't see it in their either. I think it used to not be recommended though - does anyone else remember reading that? I wonder if they took it...

Update - Sold (via Facebook Marketplace)

20" inductions for sale, ~6,500 miles on them. No issues at all with the tires, 3 of the 4 rims have some mild road rash which I just covered with a sharpie. $2500 - SF Bay Area if you want to pick up. Could ship at your expense if you tell me how to do it as never shipped tires before.

Yes, I 100% agree with everything you said and that has exactly been my thought process here. I don't think there is a good answer honestly as all of the info on the need for a WD hitch is also counterbalanced by both Tesla and Draw-tight (and any other receiver I have seen for Model Y) all...

So an Anti-sway bar like this: Reese Friction Sway Control Kit. They are well reviewed everywhere and while there is no weight distribution they work well to control sway (according to all the reviews). They also detach quickly which is a plus for re-charging stops. I have to re-weigh but...

@ostudent sent you a message on these - in Pacifica and very interested!

I did get the Draw-Tite hitch installed. Am not going with Weight Distribution yet though as both the hitch and Tesla manual say not to use weight distribution. So am going to try a sway control bar and focus on preventing that. We were able to reduce the tongue weigh some by moving the...

Took delivery of a new Bambi 16RB on Saturday, Things to do next: Get Gemini tires as the Inductions seems like they are going wear quick Install Sway Bar Learn how to back it up and park...Had some difficulty :)

Sold!

$300 - For sale: Factory installed OEM tow hitch. Never used. Got it installed new as thought we'd use to carry bike. Instead we are going to pull an Airstream :) so needed something different. In SF Bay area which would be preferred for pick-up but could ship (have no idea how much it would...

We got a new Bambi 16 coming home in 2 weeks. Interestingly, they are going to deliver it as they don't want to connect it at the dealer due to liability reasons. They can't discuss Weight Distribution hitches for Tesla's anymore (We have a Y), This is in the SF Bay Area. But they are adding...

No I do have the existing wiring installed as bought the hitch option with the car. Was swapping out the factory installed hitch for the Drawtight one made for the model Y. It doesn't have an integrated outlet like the factory-installed hitch so was looking for options to mount. I can extend...

I had the factory installed hitch installed, looking to upgrade it to the Drawtight . However it doesn't have the 7-pin connector integrated. Am thinking i can use the adaptor @Gigabyte posted above and mount it. Is that correct?

@Midnightsun what is the length of the ball mount are you using with the Y? The link defaulted to the 2" and wanted to check

towing_newbie - I am also getting a Bambu16rb from Bay Area Airstream adventures, coming in Feb. When I talked with them they did recommend WD and sway control hitches, specifically the Blue Ox of Equalizer. They also had set-up other Tesla's for towing. I have not made it any further than that...

So I live in the Bay area and talked to the Airstream dealer who had dealt with this a lot as you might expect. We have a Bambi 16RB on order. To reduce the weight we are: 1. Getting Lithium batteries and moving at least one to the rear storage area 2. Only using one Propane tank - we are not...

Not just based on this thread but also that they added the new subscription model. You can try it out and not lend the money to Tesla up front.

You guys may have better luck in the main CA waiting room thread(s): https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/ca-waiting-room.227094/page-323 https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/model-y-west-coast-waiting-room-may-2021-orders.231432/page-14

Checked the box and looks good there but thanks for the quick response, will stop using!

Just got our model Y and are doing our first longer charge at home, the rest have been top-ups so wasn't watching close. We have a 220v 14-50 outlet that was already installed when we moved in a year ago into our rental house in CA. It was new construction, so was never used until this week...

We just got ours setup and it works well with one exception: Spotify accounts. Super annoying that it is not linked to profile so one needs to go through Bluetooth

Yeah I couldn't find a way around but fortunately got an end of Q delivery and sold my Mazda yesterday. So beat the deadline by a few days. Hope you have similar luck!

It is also back as a top safety pick. This is the 3 but deals with the removal of radar: https://www.consumerreports.org/car-safety/tesla-model-3-regains-cr-top-pick-status-iihs-safety-award-a1085318072/

And...back to September today for me. Was pretty consistent with a July 12-August 1, then went to July 19-August 8 yesterday and now just a September. Looks like it will be a long wait.

I think so - that is what mine looks like as well

I use whoosh on my TV and laptop and it works well.

You need to scroll up…the discussion was about monthly fees vs one time fees. He said that he paid $40 for the stats app. I paid $50 and it is a deal vs the monthly fee apps even though many complain about how expensive it is…it isn’t.

Think with the Stats app you gotta look at it as you are getting all of the car stats features like in TezLab or Teslafi for a one time cost and no monthly fees AND you get the watch app as well. So a fair price when all added up

I don't think this is not the way Stats works. When I log-in it is directly with Tesla. From their website: "Stats never sees your Tesla email or password. The app forwards the user to the Tesla website to login directly with Tesla (technical term for the protocol is oAuth2)." The developer...

Also September for me! Thinking this is probably the realistic timeframe for us to be end of next Q but who knows

I do - from looking at it looks like you got the right one but would probably email them to make sure. Their selections are not the most clear.

Ah, link was right then - Was confused as this is a Model Y forum.. They are really nice and you will like once you get!

@bobbyg123 your link went to a Model 3 floor mat for me so not the right one. Look here and compare the 8pc vs 9pc. Think the 9pc is what you want but email them to make sure. I have them but don't have a car yet :) so can't tell you 100% but that is what I found in my research. Also, make...

Just had the same issue. Once you post 6-7 times it turns on

Ordered May 21 and Have had a July 12 - Aug 1 date “locked in” since then. A friend at work who worked at Tesla early on called his old manager and am in the system with a July 20 date for delivery. That is pretty much right in the middle so not sure if all of the dates split the difference or...

Thank you all - hopefully will get included in an end of Q push and will get it in June and won't have to worry about. Live in Bay Area so there is hope. ;)

yes that is what mine says too, it goes up $30 every 2 weeks or so until it gets to 8/7/21 and is $582. If the Y comes, say on 8/8 am I on the hook or at that point can I say it was sold?

Question on how best to handle. The registration on my current car (Mazda CX5) in CA is due on 7/8/21. My Y estimated Delivery is currently July 12 - August 01 and has been holding for a couple weeks. And of course may change again. Was wondering on how best to manage as in CA the cost is...

this is great, thanks @Snafu81! Didn't know this existed. @FinalAsgard am also looking at apps like Teslifi or the Stats App. Think I am going with the latter as like the Apple watch functionality that comes with it and also it is a one time purchase vs subscription. In reading about these...

Yes, they are not going to maintain two code bases as no software/hardware company does this. And the PR issues with this. AND that they have stated that there are issues with radar and Vision contradicting each other. Tesla launches features all the time that are not fully ready, some they...

Radar is going to go away especially in the US, don't think this a rumor or unfounded at all and they are stating it as such. Elon called radar a "crutch" on their earnings call. “I think with the elimination of radar, we’re finally getting rid of one of the last crutches. Radar was really —...

That is exactly right - their release on Tesla Vision even states that: Why aren’t Model S and Model X transitioning now? Model 3 and Model Y are our higher volume vehicles. Transitioning them to Tesla Vision first allows us to analyze a large volume of real-world data in a short amount of...
