Occupants now get the benefit of no less than four wireless smartphone charging pads too, while rear occupants won't feel left out on the entertainment front thanks to another smaller 8-inch rear screen located between the front seats.Īgain, this follows the same route as the technical setup of the Model S, with an Ultra High Fidelity Sound system adding obvious value for music fans. However, a lot of what you get here is much the same as that seen on the inside of the Tesla Model S, including the latest yoke-style steering wheel and associated control buttons. Tesla has reportedly worked on improving the user experience, based on feedback from owners of earlier models. New owners buying the Tesla Model X will be able to enjoy an updated interior, which is dominated by a new 17-inch landscape oriented touchscreen and digital gauge cluster. Tesla Model X vs Tesla Model Y: in-car tech EV charging connectors: what they are and how they compare.In terms of cargo space though, it's the Tesla Model X that makes it the SUV to head for if you're in need of storage, with 91 cubic feet, compared to the 68 cubic feet found inside the Model Y. However, the Model Y Long Range AWD model can be adapted to seat seven if you wish to order the option. The car is a little more manageable than its bigger brother too, although the trade-off is you only get seating for five, which is two less than its full-size SUV relative.
Other improvements have included auto-dimming mirrors and laminated window glass. However, viewed from some angles it's a bit of a Model X doppelganger but certainly doesn't pack those premium Falcon Wing doors given its much more reasonable price tag.Īnd, despite its newness, the SUV has already been treated to some subtle cosmetic upgrades including neat black exterior trim instead of traditional chrome. In many ways the Tesla Model Y is like a bigger, mini-SUV version of the Tesla Model 3, so has more in common with that than the Model X in terms of component parts. However, in the years since the Tesla Model X hasn't seen too many changes to its overall design, although more recently it has undergone a relatively minor facelift.Ĭhrome trim on the exterior, for example, is very much out and has been replaced with a premium gloss black finish. These open upwards and allow easy access to the rear and with this being an SUV with seating for up to seven that's a very good thing. It's got that certain look that only a Tesla can have, but the main talking point has been its distinctive Falcon Wing rear doors. While the bloated SUV market has plenty of cars that look very similar, the same cannot be said for the Tesla Model X. So, is it a case of out with the old and in with the new? Can the Tesla Model X still cut it, or has the Tesla Model Y superseded it? Read on to find out. Deliveries in Europe are on track for later 2021, although the UK won't get the Model Y until 2022. We will have to see.The Model Y, on the other hand, is a new arrival with owners taking delivery of vehicles during 2020 in the US. It looks like they may have simply installed the threaded bolt higher (this was a complaint on the original). A user with an older roof rack was checking and found his bolts dont have that gap in them.
#Tesla model 3 roof rack specs update#
Hence this PSA for anyone who has a roof rack.Įdit: update from TMC. For now they seem to be evading the question and just saying "we will ship out new brackets soon". If you have one of these racks would highly recommend you check it frequently or remove it until Tesla actually gives an answer on what the problem is (substandard metal, poor design, improper torque instructions, who knows). Here is a thread from multiple users, some who had service center installations, where these brackets are breaking. Maximum recommended torque is 8Nm (6 Ft lbs). You then put a pad on top of it, put the crossbar on top of the pad, and torque down an allen wing nut onto the bolt of the bracket. Essentially when installing the roof rack, you slide these J brackets under the metal frame of the roof where there are two arrows in the glass
Unfortunately it seems like Tesla has big quality issue with the J brackets that attach to the car as the mounting point of the rack. So like many I was very happy when the model 3 roof rack finally went back in stock early feb, was able to get one (so can stop driving to the ski mountain and having to put seats down).
