Thanks for this. We are a one car household, so the driver profiles could be amazing.
Side rear bumper sensors I think. Could well be available at a later stage with cameras I suppose.
You have a once off speed limit restriction you can set in a Tesla but it is not Speed Limiter which is not implemented yet by Tesla and at this stage I doubt they will do it
There is Automatic Emergency Braking which probably only works with forward obstacles.
What did the other cars use, cameras?
The only thing I miss is Cross Traffic Warning, or whatever it's called. Had it on previous cars, warned you if say reversing out of a blind car spot with oncoming traffic. Or if people were about to walk behind your car.
I know you should reverse into parallel parking spaces, but not always possible or practical.
Yes all cars have autopilot which is adaptive cruise control with autosteer. Works very well on main roads and use it on some slower roads that I know and that regularly have speed cameras 😁
Speed restriction can be set from the app or on the car, as in max allowable (never used it) or you can also have cruise without autosteering.
The Towbar on the Y can be added after if you're close to the grant limit. (Can't on the 3).
The driver profiles are great if you've more than 1 driver, remembers all your settings, seats, steering, temperature, heated seat settings, mirrors, driving style, creep or hold, Regen etc..
The blind spot detection is not similar to other cars, with a warning light in the mirror. It is in the form of a car graphic in the driving screen. I think it will audibly warn if you attempt to overtake when a car is in the blind position but haven't noticed it as yet. I think my audible warning is turned on, must be a better driver than I thought..😉
I suppose the ones listed above are the key ones for me - which i assume (which one should never do) is standard - cruise control, speed restriction, blind spot detection. Based on none of those features are detailed in the "add-on" options i assume they are standard.
We will likely get the towbar if we pull the trigger - for bikes more than anything.
There are no optional safety features with Tesla, you get all of them with the base car.
There aren't really any options on the Y other than Colours, tow bar or the EAP/FSD but don't buy these with the car as they can be bought afterwards if wanted.
I see what you mean, the Model 3 has some "more information" buttons that gives a little more detail and would be the same as the Y
Is there any particular items you're looking for?
When I bought my Model 3 last February it was just after all the multiple updates, such as double glazing in front, Ryzen chip, matrix lights, Lithium 12V battery, power tailgate, etc etc. Because I bought an inventory car, I was a little worried that all the extras would be on my car. (Even though it was on the same ship with all the other orders).
I EMailed Tesla asking if my car had all the extras listed above (+ more). They answered more or less immediately in the affirmative, which I suppose put my mind at rest at the time..☺️
This is exactly it - as in what safety features come as standard versus the extra, e.g. blind spot detection, cruise control, speed restriction, what type of regen braking. that sort of thing - your link above is bang on what i was looking for.
I would hazard a guess to say I think he meant, heated seats, steering wheel, and all the other tech stuff that comes with it.

It's safe to say all the Model Y RWD we ordered here in Ireland will have parcel shelf and comfort suspension. Don't worry about it.
The blue one had a parcel shelf
I'm 100% certain I didn't see it, but not 100% certain it wasn't there 🙂
We drove a white MY and I opened up the boot for a proper look. The size of the boot is important for us. If it was there, it must have been fully retracted because I can remember looking straight into the boot and picturing how we would fit certain things and seeing all the way to the back seats.
Yes, all Model Y made worldwide now have the comfort suspension. All Model Y on Irish plates already by now, have the old harsh suspension.
Are you sure about the parcel shelf? On my test drive car it looked like it was missing from the driver's seat, but when I opened the boot, it was half undone, but it was there alright.
The 3 UK reg Model Y that I saw in Sandyford last Saturday all available for test drives were 2 * white and 1 * blue and presumably all were RWD with comfort suspension
@unkel about your post in the other thread https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120119212/#Comment_120119212
Is the suspension in the MY LRs coming from China at the moment, inferior to the MY RWDs? I had assumed that all the MYs benefited from the change to comfort at the same time.
Also, (very) stupid question time. We test drove a white UK reg MY in Sandyford on Saturday. Based on info posted here, we specifically asked for the UK-reg car with the comfort suspension. On Saturday, we got the UK reg car and I then just assumed it had comfort suspension. But thinking back, there wasn't a parcel shelf over the boot. Wouldn't all the comfort suspension MYs also have gotten the parcel shelf at the same time?
All all 3 UK reg white MYs in Sandyford Comfort RWDs?
There's a bit of basic stuff here: https://thedriven.io/model/tesla-model-y-rwd/
At least I'm not the only one.
I also struggled to find a 'traditional' spec sheet apart from the few items listed on their website. I'm using the manual as my guide 🙂
https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_ie/
Folks, potentially stupid questions incoming.
Tesla wasn't even on our radar due to cost until last week. We are waiting since last Feb for a ZS but they have no idea when it might arrive. The MY is now firmly on our radar.
I've been through the various options online, RWD option with towbar is likely our target. Is there any simple listing of what the base model has in terms of spec? I found the manual but no simple spec sheet.
Thanks in advance
Too many variables to know for sure. I'm planning to hold on to it for a long time so not overly concerned about depreciation. When the time comes it will be easy enough to sell or trade I'd imagine. How much it is worth at that stage is anyone's guess.
Yes, I was speaking about a standard 3pin socket.
I like the idea of the 32amp commando but it has no overload controls so I assume this will automatically take priority and the Zappi will ramp up/down as required. Im swaying towards the standard 3pin socket though as I also have a heat pump which pops on for a few hours at night also to heat the tank.
To get the 32a you need a commando socket though. The OP seems to be talking about a normal 13a outdoor socket.
Worth noting with the commando socket you still need cabling back to the consumer unit and the appropriate RCBO, most likely 40a.
I had the same set up for over a year providing 32a charging.
This is the set up that I have.
Tesla 7kW charger and granny charger off outside socket.
If you have 2 x 7kW chargers then they need to be able to 'talk' to each other to limit the load. If both chargers were on full (32 Amps) then they would draw 64Amps which is the max load for your house board (it could trip..)
7kW charger and granny cable together is fine... (32A + 12 A = 44A)

Thanks. I will check it out.
