Regularly inspect the exterior paint for damage. Treat minor chips and scratches using a paint touch-up pen (available for purchase from Tesla). Use the touch-up
pen after washing but before polishing or waxing.
Repair rock chips, fractures or scratches. Refer to
https://www.tesla.com/support/body-shop-support for
more information on repair locations and available
services.
CAUTION: Do not use cutting pastes, color
restoration compounds, or polishes containing
harsh abrasives. These can scour the surface and
permanently damage the paint.
CAUTION: Do not use chrome polish or other
abrasive cleaners.
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 on page 177.
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 on page 177). 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.
