Tesla Model Y: Using a Car Cover
To preserve the cosmetic appearance of the body when
Model Y is not being used, use a genuine Tesla car cover.
Car covers can be purchased from Tesla. See Parts and
Accessories.
CAUTION: Use only a Tesla-approved car cover
when Model Y is plugged in. Using a non-Tesla car
cover can prevent the Battery from being
adequately cooled during charging.
Floor Mats
To extend the life of your carpet and make them easier to clean, use genuine
Tesla floor mats (see Parts and
Accessories). Maintain floor mats by regularly cleaning them and checking that
they are properly attached. Replace floor mats if they become
excessively worn.
WARNING: To avoid potential interference with a foot pedal, ensure
that the driver's floor mat is securely fastened, and never place an additional
floor mat on top of it. Floor mats should always rest on top of the vehicle
carpeting surface and not on another floor mat or other covering.
