the 4bike platform puts a lot of strain to your hitch and i think is Not recommended by Tesla. Really, the only safe way to transport 4 bikes using the hitch is through hanging bike rack. some bike rack has strap that holds on to the seat tube to minimized swing motion. I use Saris Bones...

I got mine from amazon, I had to push it in to fit very snugly.

I went with the OEM Tow package and was installed by Tesla before delivery. I cannot install tow hitch my self and rather not dare to do it, just by watching videos of people who DIY it since its extensive removal and reinstall of many parts. I researched this before and usually would go to...

I got mine "CA (not so) legal", 70% windshield and fronts, and 35% in rears and hatch. I didn't bother with roof, I purchased pull shade on them for the same price. its pretty much has good UV and heat rejection already, so did not want to waste money for tint on that section.

does anyone here use "Vent" feature in your MY?

Yes, know what its called. but my point is in other cars with US sensors (like my Kona EV), it will trigger an alarm if Both pedestrian and vehicles are passing by.

I use 1TB T7 on my MY7LR with no issues. I replied to one post here having same issue like yours not being able to use the 2TB. I came accross this: https://cpugpunerds.com/is-it-worth-getting-a-2tb-ssd/ not sure if it has something to do with the "highspeed hardware interface" as the writer...

I dont mind the sound too. but if its too loud it gets intrusive. backing up from the parking lot in my 2019 Kona EV is way safer than with my MY, if you can understand when I say those US sensors will beep inside you cabin waaaay before you see anyone on the reverse camera. plenty of time to...

do you really need 2TB? I got Samsung T7 Shield but only 1TB, works really well. I'm not sure if I needed another TB, I just mainly use it for dash cam clips. I have a splitter in glovebox (purchased at Amazon Around $10) and use a separate USB thumb drive for music. I still keep the stock USB...

I second this. I have been using Papago dash cams before and had been very satisfied with cost and quality. but either way, dash cams are good to have. they double as my GoPro to record scenic drives. but since Tesla has built in, I plan to just use it and save my video clips. I just change...

holy Molly $200 , they should have covered it (screened) in the beginning.

maybe waited 11:30 PM so no Rush Hour traffic in I-10 and drove it to San Bernardino and back to LA at 80mi/hr. that's about 110 miles round trip. :D

got mine from amazon. It came with a nice container. so far I used it once and works just fine.

My Coworker had her MY tire blowout about a month ago. she ended up calling in tesla to replace it cost her $500ish. I noticed the tire pressure fluctuates more wider range (at least in my area So Cal) at least about 5 PSI. starting with the recommended 42PSI and the weather/temperature...

I bring plug kits and air compressor with slime option. most of my tire punctures I just needed to re inflate the air in the tires enough for me to go to a tire shop. if puncture is big enough I will need to use the plug kit. some plug kit is good for a while and you can travel at highway...

Have you tried using the sub trunk cover, Angle brackets and some bungee cords?

I think you may have to pull the USB and view it in a PC or something like that. I downloaded mine this way. if you select the memory card through the menu AND touch the format button, it will assume you want to format the memory card, so don't do that.

forgot to mention. what type of bike rack do you have? if its the platform 4 bikes might be limiting, but if you have the hanging, then 4 bikes should be fine. how much did they quote you? are you installing the hitch yourself? might be cheaper for you but install is PITA.

I think thats a typo error. Its probably related to model X hitch receiver where you attach the device to a receiver pointing downwards. Please see below. In model Y the receiver is pointing horizontal like most of the cars and trucks. Therefore the vertical limit is the same as the tongue limit...

Went to Seaworld San diego and its only 70F outside jice and gloomy weather but this is what MY app states.

I purchased a USB splitter, like this and still able to use by SSD for dashcam/sentry. I use the other USB slot for game controllers and one specifically another thumb drive to play MP3 audios. works well for me...

there are threads about the drawbacks of 3rd party Hitch, please read them. but I would like to share my thoughts, but the bottom line is just go with OEM Tesla Hitch, it comes with the tow mode software that 3rd party cannot give you. I was quoted by U-Haul $850 for everything, but ended up...

reversing still have sound as subtle tire rotation grinds the sand like dirt on the road and people can hear it. My tires are Goodyear Max Life (85,000mi warranty) is not the quietest of all tires. unless intentionally doing so, backing into someone is very slim to no chance as my back up...

some of the premium luxury cars are even more quiet than the EVs that has external sound generator. I have a 2019 Kona EV and the noise it generates aggravates my Tinnitus for some reason and is very annoying. so in short, I unplugged it. I know they said all EV/Hybrid vehicles sold in US...

Must be fake Samsung SD... ??? its been widely circulating now.

Yakima has Baseline roof rack system for naked roofs (I had one in my 2019 Kona EV) but I just checked for MY they do not have a fitting. Thule only has it for Model S as you mentioned. I would discourage you on using non approved roof bars (i.e. "Universal fit") from any where If you wish to...

My Modified Lectric Ebike on a Kuat Transfer V2 attached to 2019 Kona EV.

I have a couple of Lectric Bikes that are about 67lbs each. I have a "Hollywood rack" for fat tire bikes that also weighs about 45 lbs. just a few pointers, 1. If you can remove the battery of your bikes before loading them, it will reduce the total weight burden on the hitch. I also remove...

I had considered this when I ordered my MYLR7, my first option was with Uhaul because I had my other car's hitch installed by them in the past. Uhaul quoted $850 for just the hitch and wiring harness, incl Labor fees. Now I was reading more about the "tow mode software" and that Tesla will not...

sometimes these go on sale. I Imagine, July 4ish they will have a sale like they almost always do.

can you use a plastic rivet thing?

maybe just branding. if they are different, I would rather have Yakima because they have Same key system. this will be useful in case you need to get roof racks or cargo racks, and get same keys to securely lock them all. I thought of getting this, but I rather have a platform for my bikes...
