2021 TESLA MODEL Y range

Wi-Fi is available as a data connection method and is often faster than cellular data networks. Connecting to Wi-Fi is especially useful in areas with limited or no
cellular connectivity. To ensure fast, reliable delivery of software and map updates, Tesla recommends leaving your vehicle connected to a Wi-Fi network whenever
possible (for example, if parked in your garage
overnight).
To connect to a Wi-Fi network:
1.
Touch the cellular icon (usually LTE or 3G) on the top
corner of your touchscreen. Model Y begins to scan
and display detected Wi-Fi networks that are within
range.
NOTE: If a known Wi-Fi network does not appear in
the list, move your vehicle closer to the access point or consider using a range extender to reach your
vehicle.
2.
Select the Wi-Fi network you want to use, enter the password (if necessary), then touch
Confirm.
3.
Your vehicle connects to the Wi-Fi network. Whenever the network is within range,
Model Y
automatically connects to it.
You can also connect to a hidden network that isn

8Load range. Shown as Standard Load (SL) or Extra Load (XL), the load range determines how much weight
your tires can support at a
specified tire pressure. When replacing tires, only use tires of the same load range. If
towing with snow tires, ensure they are the same load range of the tires your vehicle came equipped with.
9Tire composition and materials. The number of plies in both the tread area and the sidewall area indicates how
many layers of rubber coated material make up the structure of the tire. Information is also provided on the type of materials used.10Maximum tire load. The maximum load which can be carried by the tire.11Maximum permissible inflation pressure. This pressure should not be used for normal driving.12U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN). Begins with the letters DOT and indicates that the tire meets all
federal standards. The next 2 digits/letters represent the plant code where it was manufactured, and the last 4 digits represent the week and year of manufacture. For example, the number 1712 is used to represent the 17th week of 2012. The other numbers are marketing codes used at the manufacturer
