Does anyone know if Tesla plan to install more super chargers as the sales continue, they seem to have become pretty common in the UK, noticed a lot of cars queuing up to get a supercharge

Is there an existing attachment there that can be used without adding the tow bar (at a high cost). I’ve been trying to figure out what attachment type (if any) can go on to the Y without the tow bar fitted.

As the original poster said the bike rack is on the US but not UK store (yet)

One question - looking for Y RHD seat covers - will need model 3 seat covers do the job?

You should be very careful/avoid putting covers on seats that have airbags in them.

US and UK have different standards when it comes to towballs sizes/types and hence different bike racks. UK also requires a light board when your bike obscures the lights/ number plate.

Yes, as quickly as they can find sites and get planning permission etc. They even have their own factory making supercharger units in China

How do I check which battery I have in my new Model Y? What is recommended charge % charge limit?

You have a LG 79 kWh battery (non-LFP).

Tesla's recommendation is:

keep the full charge limit of the battery to under 90% for daily use by using the mobile app or vehicle’s touchscreen to set charge limit within the ‘Daily’ range. If you need the full range (i.e. 100%) of your battery for a long-distance trip, you can increase the limit to the ‘Trip’ range (>90%) as necessary.

Strange I thought all Model Ys had the newer battery tech.

It's the most recent battery Tesla has been using - as new as it gets.

Nice. I misunderstood.

 

[Bunes]

Noticed that I’d used 79kWh, ie the full battery. 248 miles is better than I was expecting, consisted of a mix of motorway/country roads/stop start city traffic, temps down to 4C and wind/rain with some stupid acceleration moments thrown in there.

 

[Jason71]

Thanks for the info!

Do I need the v11 number to notify dvla I have sold the car? I found a v11 from years ago not the most recent one I hope the number doesn't change?

I misspoke when I said V11 I meant to say V5 number and only the latest one from the form you gave to Tesla will do

Does the seat back part come split? Video shows it does but pictures don’t…

Looks good! Last question - Topfit description sounds like velcro attachments are separate - are they sown into the mat? I've had things before where they use sticky backed Velcro and it's *sugar*.
