Tesla Model Y Cargo Cover...good, bad, who cares??

Sorry about the wind!! Beautiful day, but when I started recording the wind picked up. My luck.

Thank you for this great fix! I've been faffing about with the load cover for a while but never thought of sliding it down behind the back seats. Genius!

[@ricric9521]

Ok. Finally a really beneficial video today : ). I still would probably prefer a version of the roll-up design. The cover just lays on side rails. it is not secured with snaps or anything. So it makes noise when I happen to hit a bump in the road or drive through rough roads. I would be careful placing items on top of it because it is very high and there is very little to keep those items from rolling forward. They would also obstruct your view

[@JimboP-Outside]

@@ricric9521 Thank you for watching my video and sharing your experiences, I appreciate it. 👍 You’re right about not storing anything on top - bad idea.

[@dpj118]

Very clever. Taking delivery of new Model Y LR next week and will use your tip. Otherwise I wouldn't have known about this. Great Tip! Thank you.

[@rohitchandra8785]

Might be a small thing but this answers my exact situation. I didn’t think to do that push back part you described. I just got our model y a few weeks ago and still learning. Thanks.

[@donstefano2988]

Thanks for your video. It was a good advice how to use. Still I don´t agree with you, a "roll up" is far better, but your use-advices was helpful. Thanks again

[@hushusyou]

Nice tip and trick! Thanks

[@DougJessee]

I am thinking of adding pull tabs to the end or the middle hinge to make folding it up easier... Else, I will design my own.

[@attisthecat]

mindblown. nice tip.

Hahaha it's the simple things in life that lead to happiness :)

[@andrerodriguez7603]

I don’t need it with the tinted rear windows. Just gets in the way. I never use it. I took it out day one as he said. Other vehicles I’ve had like a Ford Explorer. Never used it.

[@sgtfoo]

back and forth.. I see what you did there.

[@Unavailable8923]

If you get into a collision, anything you put on top of that shelf is getting launched into the front cabin. Keep it below.

[@JimboP-Outside]

You could say that about anything behind you, including people who don’t wear seatbelts, anything you store on the backseat, or for the many who remove the parcel shelf and store items right up to the roof.

[@Unavailable8923]

Don't do those either. :-) Items that are behind the seats and under the shelf are arguably safer than items on top of the self!

[@JimboP-Outside]

@@Unavailable8923 Yes, you’re definitely right about that. 👍

[@ricric9521]

@@JimboP-Outside Yes but there are plenty of times, as I'm sure you know when you have to stop or slow abruptly that would totally toss those items stored on top but not ones on the floor of the trunk area.

[@JimboP-Outside]

@@ricric9521 Yep, I agree.

[@mocheen4837]

You need a cover to hide your belongings. They also offer the roll up kind via aftermarket.

[@JimboP-Outside]

Personal preference but I’ve never liked those roll up versions, had them in my three previous vehicles. They’re so flimsy. This type is strong enough to store items right on top. Like having two levels in the trunk. Plus the sub trunk, so three levels.

[@CGRFilmsStudios]

Hi, could I ask what’s the height underneath the lowest section of the parcel shelf? Curious what the tallest item that can be in the back without having to take down the shelf? Really hard to find that info online!

[@JimboP-Outside]

Looks like it's about 14-15 inches. This is with a mat (3D Max Pider) which might be half an inch think. So without a mat maybe it's 15.5 inches.

[@CGRFilmsStudios]

@@JimboP-Outside hey thanks for the reply! If you ever happen to be in your vehicle with a tape measure I would really appreciate hearing what it ends up being :)

[@JimboP-Outside]

@@CGRFilmsStudios ?? I did measure it, re-read my reply. It’s about 14-15 inches give or take due to my mat cover. It’s not easy to get into the trunk under the parcel shelf.

[@CGRFilmsStudios]

@@JimboP-Outside oh apologies, I asked on multiple peoples videos and sent this comment to the wrong place. Thanks for your help!

[@weho_brian]

uncontroversial opinion, but i like it

[@mocheen4837]

How much do you need to push it back to hide items from view?

[@JimboP-Outside]

To hide items from view I use the sub trunk or frunk.

[@ALEXLOPEZ-zf5uq]

Does this come standard with the vehicle?

[@JimboP-Outside]

It does now, yes.
