    Range on the Coquihalla when towing.

    Lol! You’d have to be patient as there is already a long lineup for my gear. I like the idea of using big rigs as a dandy excuse to drive extra slow when towing. So I’ll stay in the slow lane, way back from the big boys and toodle along to gain the max range instead of dreaming about how...

    Model Y Tow Hitch: 2 Questions

    As a former Airstream owner, I could not agree more about that 80% rule. Next week, I am picking up a micro fiberglass Happier Camper trailer to tow behind my Y. My new BUG is outfitted with off-grid solar, lithium batteries, 12v AC, a heater, a kitchenette cabinet with sink and running water...

    Sharing MYP towing range data w/ high loads

    Does anyone paying heed to the load’s tongue weight as you approach or exceed the Y’s towing capacity? Having towed an airstream for years, I made an early decision not to even approach my maximum tow or vehicle tongue capacity, (not for range back then as I had a powerful ICE truck, but for...

    Range on the Coquihalla when towing.

    This has always intrigued me…how close do you have to drive behind a semi or big rig to be in their quiet zone/draft space? I’m imagining that if you don’t get that right, you’d get pummelled by the wind forces joining behind the truck? Kathryn

    Range on the Coquihalla when towing.

    And still I haven’t made it to test the coquihalla but I so appreciate the feedback and tips! And now I’m about to buy a new thing to tow. A 1550 pound, 10’ micro-bug “Happier Camper” fiberglass camper. I am thinking that the drag on this might be less than my kayaks on my open trailer. I can...

    Unknown Error BMS_a066

    My 2021 Y with dual motors and tow pkg (18k) popped up this message 10 days ago, just as I was about to leave for a camping trip, all loaded with a trailer full of camping gear. So “reduced range and charging capacity” was no small issue. So I changed my destination to a closer provincial...

    Range on the Coquihalla when towing.

    Hi all! First question here, from a 2021 Long range Y owner ready to travel again. I am a SERIOUSLY addicted camper so I bought the tow package to tow a little 400 lb utility trailer and 2 heavy Hobie kayaks. That load would be about 800-900 pounds max with all related gear. However, if I add...

    Towing Experience with My New Model Y

    I am awaiting this cool thing. I have a severe right hand permanent injury and there isn’t a chance in hell I can get the cover back on. Ever. So I decided to have fun with it when I’m not towing. Love mountains. Love my Y.

    Model Y Roof Rack Awning

    This guy has a Yakima cargo box installed so it seems like the Yakima Sunshady would be completely compatible?

    Model Y Roof Rack Awning

    I’m considering exactly the same thing. Did you install it? And a side question - have you had any leaks after installing the roof racks and are they easy to install yourself?
