Rear Facing Camera(s)

WARNING: Never depend on the cameras to

inform you if the area behind you is free of objects

and/or people. The cameras may not detect

objects or barriers that can potentially cause

damage or injury. In addition, several external

factors can reduce the performance of the

Camera Location

Model Y is equipped with a rear view camera located

above the rear license plate.

cameras, including a dirty or obstructed lens.

Therefore, depending on the cameras to determine

if Model Y is approaching an obstruction can result

in damage to the vehicle and/or objects and can

potentially cause serious injury. Always inspect the

area with your own eyes. When reversing, perform

shoulder checks and use all mirrors. Use the

cameras for guidance purposes only. It is not

intended to replace your own direct visual checks

and is not a substitute for careful driving.

Cleaning a Camera

To ensure a clear picture, the camera lens must be clean

and free of obstructions. Remove any build-up of dirt or

debris by spraying water onto the camera lens with a

spray bottle.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove dirt or debris

by wiping an exposed lens with your hands or a

cloth. This debris can damage the surface of the

lens when rubbed against it during wiping.

CAUTION: Do not use chemical-based or abrasive

cleaners. Doing so can damage the surface of the

lens.

Whenever you shift into Reverse, the touchscreen

displays the view from the camera. Lines show your

driving path based on the position of the steering wheel.

These lines adjust as you move the steering wheel.

Model Y also displays images from the side cameras (if

equipped). Simply swipe up or down to hide or show the

side camera views.

NOTE: Visual feedback from Park Assist also appears on

the touchscreen (see Park Assist on page 70).

To display the view from the rear view

cameras at any time, open the app

launcher and touch the Camera app.

If a black screen appears on the touchscreen instead of

the rear view camera feed when in Reverse, use the rear

view mirrors and ensure your surroundings are safe

before continuing to Reverse. If inoperability of the rear

view camera persists, use the mobile app to schedule a

service appointment.

Pedestrian Warning System

The Pedestrian Warning System (if equipped) causes

Model Y to emit sound when driving below

approximately 19 mph (32 km/h) or while driving in

reverse. Electric vehicles operate quietly and this sound

helps to alert pedestrians of your oncoming vehicle. The

sound, which activates whenever Model Y is shifted out

of Park, gets louder as speed increases.

NOTE: The Pedestrian Warning System may not be

available in vehicles manufactured prior to

approximately September 1, 2020.

WARNING: If sound cannot be heard, pedestrians

may not be aware of your oncoming vehicle, which

may increase the likelihood of a collision resulting

in serious injury or death. If the Pedestrian

Warning System is not operating, immediately

contact Tesla.

Towing and Accessories

NOTE: Consult the product details of your accessory

carrier for more information, such as additional weight

or load limits. Damage caused by non Tesla-approved

accessories is not covered by the warranty.

The towing package includes a 2" x 2" (5 cm x 5 cm)

hitch receiver that can support an accessory carrier (for

bicycles, skis, snowboards, etc.) or tow a trailer.

CAUTION: Exceeding the maximum weight the

Model Y hitch is designed to support (as

previously described) can cause signiﬁcant

damage.

Installing and Using a Carrier

When using the tow package to carry accessories, the 2"

x 2" (5 cm x 5 cm) square hitch receiver is designed to

support vertical loads of up to 160 lbs (72 kg). Ball

mounts that are compatible with the square receiver

must be purchased separately.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to install an accessory

carrier on Model Y that is not equipped with the

tow package. Doing so can cause signiﬁcant

damage.

To install and use an accessory carrier, you must ﬁrst

attach the ball mount to the hitch receiver (see

Attaching and Removing the Ball Mount on page 83).

Then, follow the instructions provided by your accessory

carrier. Observe all regulations and legal requirements in

your state or region that apply to carrying accessories.

Trailer Towing

The maximum trailer weight (including all cargo and

additional equipment), and the trailer tongue weight

depend on the number of occupants in your vehicle and

the tires being used. The maximum towing capacity and

trailer tongue weight must never exceed the following:

The Model Y towing package includes the wiring

necessary for using an accessory carrier equipped with

lights (see Electrical Connections on page 83). The

package also includes Trailer Mode software

compatibility (see Trailer Mode on page 81).

NOTE: Tesla assumes no responsibility for damage or

injuries resulting from installing and using an accessory

carrier, for any omissions in the instructions

accompanying an accessory carrier, or for your failure to

follow the instructions. Damage caused by using an

accessory carrier is not covered by the warranty.

*Applicable only to vehicles with seven seating

positions.

** You must operate within the speed limitations of your

trailer and tires, and only drive at speeds appropriate for

the load you are towing, the weather, road and traﬃc

conditions, and your level of towing experience. Always

obey posted speed limits and local regulations regarding

speed.

Carrying Accessories

The hitch receiver is designed to support vertical loads

up to 160 lbs (72 kg). When carrying bicycles, skis, or

other items on the Model Y hitch, always check to

ensure that the maximum weight is not exceeded. When

calculating weight, remember to include the weight of

the accessory carrier. For example, assuming the carrier

weighs 40 lbs (18 kg), the weight threshold is suﬃcient

for carrying two bicycles weighing approximately 60 lbs

(27 kg) each, or four items weighing approximately 30

lbs (14 kg) each.

NOTE: In Canada, towing is limited to 55 mph (89 km/h).

For trailers with a combined loading of more than 1650

lbs (750 kg), Tesla recommends using a separate braking

system with an independent controller (see Trailer

Brakes on page 81). Carefully follow the instructions

provided by the trailer brake manufacturer to ensure

that trailer brakes are properly installed, adjusted, and

maintained.
