I'm searching for a way to bridge the gap caused by the rear seat footwell. Has anyone tried any of these or similar: https://www.amazon.com/Eruseay-Mattress-Extension-Increase-Protection/dp/B0BYZ9DW9W?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1...

I am a fan although I think it would look better on my black MYP or grey. On another now, how the hell do you get your car that shiny??? It looks great!

Thank you all for your input. Gearing up to make my first car camping trip to Yosemite next week if the weather holds. So excited. I know it's old news for you all, but this is a brand-new adventure for me. I camped (illegally) in Yosemite once decades ago with my best friends during college. I...

Can you tell me more about the "curtain based approach"?

Also does anyone know if Peter in Germany is shipping his Frunkly table to the US? IMO it is a perfect setup for one or two people to cook. If he's not shipping (doesn't look active on social media) I will consider doing a Kickstarter for a kitchen that unfolds right out of the frunk.

I hopped in the back of Model Y this evening and quickly realized that I DO NOT want to sleep in a little glass bubble which any passers by can look right into. Need privacy! Starting my research for a good set of window shades. I think they will come in handy during trips to Death Valley...

I'm just here to say we have put several hundred thousand miles on four Tesla 3's and Y's over the years and never damaged a frunk when closing it. Also, I loved the $25 Evannex Model 3 auto-open frunk struts. Wish something simple, cheap, and mechanical like that was available for Model Y, but...

@Icehunter did you DIY or have it installed?

which body kit is this?

Installing a lift. Researched MPP spacers vs Eibach springs. I’ve installed Eibach springs and shocks before on a GX470 so familiar with their products which are high quality. However, they only offer springs for Tesla. They do not offer long travel shocks, and my concern is that without them...

As you know, L3 takes a lot of power. I doubt there is adequate infrastructure available for any L3 chargers in Yosemite until someday someone installs a few chargers that are augmented by battery storage. Like these guys: https://freewiretech.com/ The huge ugly battery box should be...

Thanks for all the input! There are quite a few L2 chargers in the Yosemite village area. Also Rivian is about to open an L2 only station with 20 chargers. My plan is to camp two nights charge back up to 90%. Camp one more night and then head home. Yosemite National Park - West Curry Village...

Can anyone comment on what percentage of battery power is consumed per hour or per 8 hour night in camp mode overnight duirng cold weather camping? If it's 20F overnight and I set camp mode at it's minimum of 60F, how much power will I consume overnight? I will charge MY LR to 100% at a...

The wifey has a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry. Basically, she is smarter than me and won't fall for it. However, this is a great argument for buying an EV RV when Rivian someday sells a camper version of the Amazon delivery van.

Next up: auxiliary power to keep things running off grid. Do y’all use an inverter or a battery pack or both or neither? I’m not interested in hardwiring an inverter into the Model Y, but plugging a 1000w inverter into 12V port will allow powering laptop, phone, StarLink, etc right? Or do you...

I think (hope) for solo travel it’s a game changer especially in extreme weather conditions. I’m headed to Yosemite when my gear arrives. Overnight temps will be below 20F. Personally I wouldn’t enjoy sleeping in tent in that kind of weather. Daytime temps will reach 35-40F plus ~10F radiant...

I've been looking at these. When are they releasing it? Does it block the rear camera (I can live with that)? Is there an option to add a bike carrier? If yes then wow...all set...what more would anyone need? Finally, this is much much better for aero and range than a roof rack, right?

@JohnB007 @boones totally agree. I bought the bag for outdoor/tent camping. Couldn't pass it up for $60! I'm planning to set Model Y temp to hold at 60F and use some lightweight bedding. Also, I can relate to the comment about aches and pains and age. If I'm going to be sleeping in the back of...

I went with the ExPed. I didn’t really spend much time researching the others after watching the video posted above. I have a really bad habit of spending 5 to 10 hours researching items like this and need to break myself of that habit. Also ordered their widget, a pillow and sleeping bag. ***...

Something to level the car! Thanks! Didn't think of that, and not being level would be really irritating (to me at least).

Thanks for the input. Going with MPP 1.75 inch lift on our 2021 model Y. As for the idea of adding an auxiliary tank to the GX, I have considered that. My problem with the GX is that it gets 15 mpg which is extraordinarily wasteful. What I really want to do is convert it to an EV drivetrain...

Thinking about how to avoid the rooftop box for several reasons I won’t get into. For a short solo trip I should be able to figure it out within the confines of the interior space plus frunk.

@boones @JohnB007 @kpanda17 @BitJam @DblOSmith thank you all for your input! Will research links you provided and make a purchase. I hope it’s one and done. Will share my experience.

Going to spend 4 days / 3 nights at Yosemite before the weather gets better and the crowds roll in for the spring/summer season. I'll be working about 4 hours a day and hiking/biking the remainder of the time. I'd really like to sleep in the back of Model Y during this short trip. There are a...

So take Tescamp off the list? So many to choose from. I hear DreamCase is nothing special...overpriced. Any reccomendations from experience from the community here? Planning a 4 day / 3 night trip to Yosemite in the next few weeks. Need a mattress for Model Y.

cool. i can do it first week of april. should be right around 138K miles by then.

Just finished my overland build. 2006 Lexus GX470 owned since new with nearly 300K miles + mild lift, wheels, tires, etc. Giving it to my son for his round trip to high school and we'll find some trails around here somewhere. It was all DIY and a lot of fun learning about suspension which has...

i love cars. i think i was just pointing out that in my experience lexus and tesla have just been really easy to live with as daily drivers.

I missed my window to do the test and there didn't seem to be much interest here anyway. MY currently at 136K miles. I'll be able to test in early April.

@diesel733 how do like your setup after living with it for a while? I'm considering converting my MYLR to a light-duty overland vehicle. I am concerned with the impact on range of each modification as my trips are sometimes very long (upcoming SF to Death Valley, and SF to Vancouver trips this...

I'm not the driver of this particular car though I've taken the Model Y on a few road trips. My daily driver is a Model 3. We also have a couple of Lexus SUV's in the family fleet so we are pretty demanding when it comes to build quality and reliability. The Tesla's have been completely...

Our 2021 Model Y LR surpassed 125K miles last week. Once its parked for a few days on Xmas eve I plan to do the battery health test which I understand takes 24 hours. Will post the results here if folks are interested. Anyone out there with higher miles on a Model Y?

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing 2023 RWD $34K. Please add to the discussion here.

Has anyone heard about a model Y with higher mileage than ours? Just curious. Edit: Nevermind...I see the OP of this thread is up to 141K miles, but I think we'll catch him.

@DanDi58 how would I perform such a test?

@fiehlsport Whatever the original OEM tires were on new Model Y's delivered in February 2021 at the Fremont facility. Unfortunately, I don't remember what they were.

We just crossed over 111,111 miles. Wish I'd taken a picture!!! I think we're slacking off...only 11K miles in 3.5 months. May hit 125K by year-end. Has anyone heard of any higher mileage Model Y's out there? Still going strong except for a few mishaps that Tesla service handled. The car runs...

I’m amazed the tires lasted 80K miles. The best I’ve ever seen before on any car I’ve owned is around 60K miles. Our Model 3 needed tires at 25K miles. The Model Y is driven as a commuter almost entirely (~90%) on the freeway. The driver is an extraordinarily safe, mellow, gentle driver (not...

I wasn’t aware that there are rigorous scientific standards required for posting on this site. I just thought it was cool that at 99K miles our Model Y indicates 303 miles of range on a full charge and wanted to share.

Agree, but I’m maxed out at 16kW solar. Nowhere to place any more panels.

These are good points, but I’m not interested in this level of detail at current mileage. My observations are anecdotal info from an EV enthusiast. Also 100K miles isn’t really a big deal. Historically I keep my ICE vehicles for 250K miles and I fully intend to do the same with our Model Y. I...

@Electroman we had to change Model 3 tires at ~25K miles. Driving habits make a big difference. The Model 3 was plowed into every corner possible at maximum safe speed possible. The Model Y has spent most of its 99K miles going dead straight at ~72mph.

@Eto Demerzel we’re projected to be at 303 on a full charge by the Stats app. I believe we started at 330 (Feb 2021 Model Y LR). So I believe we’re at only 8% degradation in the first 99K miles. Note we’ve charged to 100% less than 5 times. Superchargered less than 15 times and live in the...

Our 2021 is at 99K miles and 303 according to the Stats app. Zero repairs so far other than road hazards. Amazingly the OEM tires lasted 80K miles. Will report back on how she’s doing at 25K mile intervals.

Can’t charge at work or neighbors. EV2-B really is the way to go I think. I’m just feeling rather foolish for not having the foresight to have the second meter installed at the same time we did the panel/service upgrade as we may have saved a little bit of $$ and a lot of headache dealing with PG&E.

@ucmndd 66%+ of our consumption is driven by charging the Tesla’s which is driven by necessity. Frankly my spouse and I hate driving at this point. Will look into EV2-B.

@Merrill unless I’m misunderstanding I don’t think batteries alone would solve my problem. Batteries would shift load, but not change our total consumption which is the problem. I cannot generate any more power (solar) so I need to figure out a regulatory hat trick using EV2-B I think? Another...

5K sq ft house, pool pump, ~60K miles of EV driving/yr, very low winter production…it all adds up to pulling a lot of power. HVAC, hot water and cooking are on their way to being converted to electric. We are massively reducing our carbon footprint vs fossil fuels and we are being punished for it.
