Model Y sighting in Squaw Valley

[VQTRVA]

Rear wipers are actually more necessary (possibly required?) on close to vertical rear glass, because it's more prone to accumulating road grime and the airflow detaches before the glass so can't clear it. On the Model Y (or a sedan) you have less problem with rear glass debris because the airflow remains attached over the glass.

When the almost vertical glass on my GTI with rear compared to my wife's M.3, it's not contest, the GTI is always a dirt magnet to vs the 3 looking like it never have encountered dirt.

Clean the rear window while refueling, or when you're at home. I usually carry glass cleaner and a microfiber towel in my trunk.

Clearing while it's charging up is actually a good point. I haven't thought of microfibre, was usually using paper towels, so thanks for that hint too.

I guess my main concern—coming from a car where the rear camera only works in reverse—is the rear glass suddenly becoming very dirty while travelling and not being able to check what's behind me, as if that really had an impact on driving

Thanks all for the explanations/suggestions!

Can't tell if that lower valance in the rear bumper cover has a removable center section for a hitch receiver? Still unclear to me if the MY will come with one or not.

That 4th picture really shows the family resemblance to the X! It looks better in the wild than it did on stage introduction, imo.

First thing I noticed was lack of snow up there. Looks like June or July. Going to be a dry summer if this keeps up.

I know exactly what you’re saying I have a GTI in the back window is always dirty.
