Oh, no accessories except mats! I ordered rear all weather cargo mats from Amazon to protect the trunk area

Wow so you can't wash at home either? I thought it's just at ridiculous place like sf only. If you love your black paint, you might want to add a coating to help prevent scratches from those grinders and waterless wash. I saw a commercial on Cerakote and wonder if it's as good as advertised.

. We have this carwash chain here called Loop, it's about $15 for an exterior wash, and I earn points which are used to discount it further. Every 5th wash is free

No drive thru car wash for your black car please.

It's very safe. Uses soft brushes, no railing to damage your wheels. All flat ground. You drive in and stop when the red light goes on and the wash starts. I've used it for my IS350 and Polestar numerous times

I like the look of that - can you please post the Amazon link or at least the name of the brand here?

Haha Bit beat me! Just got them in last night, I'll let you know if they are worth it. I'm always suspicious when Tesla and WeatherTech sell theirs for nearly $200

I opened the box last night, and so far they look (and feel) really good. They are extremely lightweight materials, but seem very durable. They have a velcro type backing that will stick to the Model Y's carpeting. Also, no rubber smell! I'll install them in the Y this weekend!

Ok, worth every penny!

Easy to install, tough, light weight materials. Easy to clean dirt and spills. Grips the carpet so it will stay in place

It's actually a light black. For some reason when the sun hits it my camera thinks it's grey. Same with my seats

Thanks! It's funny but I've been getting more love for the Y on CL then on the Polestar forum, where it's suddenly turned cold and the hate keeps pouring in. I've pretty much stopped posting there, which is sad because I own a Polestar, and these are supposed to be EV owners and enthusiasts. Oh well...
