Thanks @SilverSmith !!! These posts are awesome!

Must be SW issue. The manual says it equipped like in the 3 manual.View attachment 521738 View attachment 521739

I hope you are right, remember that this is the first one out of the factory. I actually had an update 20 minutes after I had delivery of it. Said the updates were only for 'bug fixes'.

Yup. I don't mind them leaving out the Pedestrian Warning System...and reactivate HomeLink (since the HL module is already under the hood) - my wishful thinking.

Thanks so much for posting and answering questions.

Could you tell us what that device is that is in the back driver side side pocket? It looks like a 12V outlet, but one is not mentioned in the manual. It also could be an emergency release for the charge door.

thanks

You nailed it, just a 12V power plug.

Do any of the model 3 floor, frunk and under-trunk Carpet or winter mats fit?

@SilverSmith: Can you please post measurements of the spaces in the pic?
I know several wanted to know car seat fitment and middle seat space, and cargo space dimensions.

Again awesome job keeping us informed...first first hand!

I was glad to see the heat pump shown in the manual. I'm really looking forward to seeing real world range numbers, including in the cold. With the heat pump, I'm guessing the MY will outdistance the M3 when using the cabin heater.

LOL, you guys sound excited as I am.

A - 45" - along top of second row seat.
B - 11.5" - width of the center seat, but note that the post is 2.5" and will cut into this space.
C - 44" - depth between the second row to back hatch along the ground.
D - 37" - wheel hub to wheel hub.
33" Top of second row seat to hatch back.
Notice also that there are a lot of curves, so don't expect a rectangle item to fit perfectly.

Second row seat is the same width as the M3 (51 1/4")

Just wanted to ask if this measurement is done from the edge of the rear right seat to the edge of the rear left seat? I want to buy a dog hammock for the rear seat and want to make sure I'm ordering the right size.

As you can see from the photo there's a flap that hangs down to protect the side of the seat ...so just wanted to make sure the measurement was taken at the edge of the seat where the dog paw is pointing to end to end.

Thanks!

Discovered a center seat bonus, the head rest slides up for the center passenger. I like it! Cup holders are nice too.

Nope, I measured from armrest to armrest with the doors closed. So hip width for three people/car seats to fit. But the width of seat itself is nearly identical at 51".

You should read the manual! The centre headrest can fully detach too by poking a small latch at the base of the left column

These are great, thanks!

How about the length with the rear seats down, to the back of the drivers seat in it's rearmost position for a tall driver, and to the back of the passenger seat when it's put all the way forward with the seatback tilted as far forward as it can be?

Also, are the two rear headrests removable? I don't think the front seat ones in the 3 are easily removed, but these rear seat ones look as though they might be.

41" or 51"?

Reading the manual are for those that can't play with the real thing! Just joking, just too busy responding to all the questions. haha

...I don't have the luxury of the actual thing until June at best in Canada ...so all I can do is read the 226 page manual

Yep, typo, it was 51", corrected.

 

[gNoj_LL]

Nope, didn't notice this, crazy!

yah, in haven’t see a model Y with dual climate zones. But the 3 h

You mean for front vs. rear passengers?

Cause dual climate zone settings for each front passenger have always been available separately for temp & vent airflow.

Though one can argue that air level settings (head/feet/both) disqualifies the definition of dual zones.

I know
