Brand new Y! Must have accessories ?

[Tes-londa]

Hey all,

It’s my first post and i’m cheesing harder than a kid in a candy store. I know this has probably been discussed before but im just dipping my toes in the proverbial forum water, so to speak.

I’ve seen some discussions on floor mats on the forum, but a lot of people mention random Amazon no name brands that are super cheap. I was initially going to buy the stock all weather mats from Tesla. But has anyone had any luck with the WeatherTech models? They’re slightly cheaper (I think around $180 versus over 200 for the Tesla ones).

also, any other must haves for the Y?

thanks all and super happy to be here. Haven’t even gotten the car yet. Im in New York and they said mid to end September. I ordered it like a month ago!

The Model Y comes with carpeted floor mats.

Thanks for the info. I am not aware that free carpeted floor mats comes with MY.

Many Tesla owners install all weather floor liners because the floor liners are easier to keep clean than the carpeted floor mats.

It seems most posts regarding mats are all about all weather mats. I might use them in slushy winter weather but personally I don’t really think rubber looks or feels so great in general. And I definitely don’t need sides so high it looks like a tray for fair weather days. Are there any classy looking carpeted mats available for the Y?

Not carpet, but I’ve been scoping these out because I have the same thoughts as you:

Agree, I think I am good with carpeted ones or at least I have sometime to decide after delivery.

Yes; the charging connector cable release is still fully accessible after installing the retractable cargo cover. I did watch a video of the installation of the tow hitch (not sure if it was the Tesla tow hitch.) When installing the tow hitch the rear bumper, trim and tail lights must be removed. The interior trim behind the tail lights has to be removed. This would require first removing the mounting bracket from the trim. The mounting bracket is held in place with double sided automotive trim tape. I imagine if you are careful removing the mounting bracket the trim piece won't be damaged. To reinstall the mounting bracket you would need to use the same type of automotive trim tape. (The mounting bracket would also have be removed in event that the tail light needed to be replaced. Since the tail light uses LED bulbs I'm not sure this will ever be an issue other than if the tail light gets damaged.)

Thanks for the insight. I'm going ahead with my order.

What is the best phone mount?

I love the built in inclined padded charging trays. Unless you need to watch your phone up close while driving these might be all you ever need
