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.
