I wonder if you can apply a ceramic coating or aqua-pel to those without causing color issues with the finish or functionality issues. That might keep the layer of snow/ice from adhering to it, or if it does, extremely easy to wipe off.
Having the car properly waxed would most likely help a lot too. I've had no time to get it professionally washed and waxed since I took delivery. I can't do it myself since I live in an apartment and there is no place to do it. But I have a feeling that in freezing rain it's going to always be an issue. Especially when there is other traffic throwing up spray you have to drive through. I have a feeling that if I hadn't been getting sprayed by other cars it would have been fine the whole way. TBH, I'm not even upset or worried about the radar freezing over. There is only so much you can do for conditions like that. I just don't understand why it couldn't work as a traditional cruise control still. My Subaru Legacy would fall back to standard cruise control when weather conditions were so bad it couldn't use the cameras and ultrasonic sensors reliably to track cars in front.

Thanks! I think I recently saw these on a Subaru Forester in person and thought to myself "those look cool, I wonder how they will look on a Model Y". Is your MY lifted?
No, but I did buy the Kit as my wife was a little doubtful over access; since Nov 2020 (beginning ownership - she's daily driver) I haven't heard her mention it.
Just received mine 2 weeks ago. Will be getting the XPEL Stealth wrap in a couple more weeks. Can't wait.
Those wheels are great, they really ramp up the static aggression factor without looking too "boy racer".
Loving these pictures with the roof rack. Making me rethink about getting them. I purchased a tow hitch ski rack because i was afraid of breaking the glass roof. Love the rims!!!
