Thanks for that, good to see how big the model Y is for a big dog.
Glad i can help! cheers
That def helps, x3 def has more space - so I will stick with that.
Glad I could help!
Not sure if someone has already mentioned it but the dog hammock should be flipped over so you have that grippy material the dog is sitting on, facing downwards! ;)
Very good point.. nope noone has mentioned yet! 🥂 Thank you!
@@TeslaHo Those handles are also designed to wedge between the cushion to anchor the hammock.
Just a head up, max load capacity for the frunk is 55 lbs. In the trunk, you can put 285 lbs in the lower trunk compartment, 130lbs on the rear load floor and 50 lbs in the shallow lower trunk compartment.
That's great information. Good thing I dont pack too much when I have Neo around :). Thanks for the heads up!
@@TeslaHo You're welcome. Only reason I commented is I put 80 lbs of water softener salt in the frunk of my Model 3. It didn't break anything, but it did make creaking noises all the way from Costco to home!
@@Curryolla That doesn't sound pretty haha. I think the frunk is great for quick grocery trips. Stay safe out there!
I am thinking about trading in my 3 for a Y, primarily for more dog room, but after seeing your video, I've changed my mind. I use a rear seat hammock in my 3 and it works fine. I recommend loosening the straps so the hammock isn't suspended and moving - it should lie as flat as possible on the seats. Your dog will lay down then.
Ya I normally wouldn't have it suspending as I kinda rushed it. My bad. What kind of dog do you have?
Thanks for the video. I've been considering a Tesla but have a Doberman. I've wondered about the different ways to fit him in one. Your video was perfect!
Cheers, Im glad it helped!
Great video!👍 Just what I needed to se. I have a +100 pound Alaskan Malamute, so pretty much the same size and issues. Thanks!
No problem. I love malamutes!!! Feel free to ask any questions! I'll be here:)
Awesome showcase of your doggo! Nice pup
Ty! Much appreciated!!
Very helpful with three options
My doggo can lay back in the trunk area comfortably but will be quite snug with 2 doggos around that size. Thanks for the comment🥂
For my 108 lb dog, it would be good for dog park trips. No good for long road trips
agreed. It would be a bit tight with the seats up.
this was really helpful. thank you
Not a problem.. if you have any questions, feel free to ask away! Cheers man
Great video ! We are thinking about swapping our Model 3 for a Model Y when it becomes available in Australia so we can put our 2 big greyhounds in the car with us. My only concern is that electric tailgate ... as you said, I might need to train our dogs to stay clear before it closes. Would hate to have a tail caught in it! Thanks so much, Ryan
Thanks Ryan! Ya with 2 dogs it might be worth considering a Y! I'm sure your doggos will learn quick. Neo knows to sit down right away now when he hears the "beep" from the trunk. Really appreciate the comment.
@@TeslaHo thanks for the response 👍
Let me know what you guys wanna know about the model y and I'll make a video asap on it!
3:35 that darn slanted roof. When my dog faces the front, his long tail goes right inside there. I always have to be extra careful closing it, especially since it’s automatic
Very good tip for all dog owners. I always make sure he is sitting and looking back before closing.
One final option.....front passenger seat :-) I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback, 85lbs, and thinking about a Y, as we do a lot of hiking/biking trips, nd there are times I want to leave her in the vehicle and do something else, so "pet mode" is a huge draw for me/her.
Very cute dogs! I can see leaving them in the front would be good for dog mode but I can see some concerns people may have with airbags being deployed in a accident. Perhaps a proper dog belt harness could help tho. Pet mode is of the best things. I go shopping twice a week and its usually after a dog walk. Saves me from wasting time and energy dropping off Neo first. Cheers!
Velcro on the inside rear will hold the dog protector in place. And you can remove it when not needed.
Good call. I had my mom sew on the velcro to the dog carrier 😂.. works great!
The last option (dog in back-seat) might reduce one's SafetyScore (if apply to your state) due to the warning of "people" on the back is not buckled.
ya thats a very good point. Although its perfectly legal I should of add that its definetely not recommended for the safety of our puppers as you stated.
Fortunately our dog is 60 pitbull so hair is not a problem. The Y is a perfect fit.
Im very envious lol. Glad to hear he fits good!
You own a Tesla and you call your dog Nio ? You even put him in the Tesla ! That’s outrageous.
Haha ya I got that before. His name is Neo!
Thanks! Exactly what I needed! BTW, he’s not fat, just big boned. 😅
haha this was when he got his covid weight :). Hes actually much slimmer now. Glad I can help!
This was very helpful. I currently can carry my 3x 60-100 lb dogs and 3x human passengers in my 7-seat MX, but my wife wants to be able to carry the same dogs + a baby stroller + babyseat in a potential 5-seat MY. It looks like that's not going to be possible with an MY.
Glad I could help. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate haha. Happy new year!
You need a more boxy suv EV which right now doesn’t exist. Maybe Kia EV 9 will be better when it comes out.
Nice video and cute doggo! Which of the three ways do you prefer?
For the first method, at 02:25 you mentioned the snap buckle doesn't bother passengers sitting in the back seats but they look like they protrude out too much. A suggestion is to perhaps buy some small pillows (they fit in place with an elastic strap) to cover up the protruding buckles? I use them in my Model S.
Ahhh yes I definitely prefer the the first method still. I will be getting pillows in the future. Great suggestion thank you!! Your doggo stays on the rear seats of the S or the trunk?? Apologies for the late reply.
@@TeslaHo Thanks. No apologies necessary. Keep making your videos! I don't have a doggo, but I have just bought some back seat covers.
@@tooflesstesla btw.. how is the charging in hk? I saw that you have some nice drives around my home town😊
@@TeslaHo Love the HK connection! Charging is pretty bad here since, as you know, most Tesla owners will not have any home charging. Unlike from what I have seen in the US or other countries (ie, barely-used Superchargers), the Superchargers in HK are frequently used. I made a video about this HK "problem".
@@tooflesstesla o nice I'll check it out. I figured it was bad but saw a bunch there a few years ago 😯
How tall is your doggo? I’m considering one of these but the will my dog fit question is the biggest concern!
What kind of dog do you have? I'll measure him tomorrow when he is awake and get back to you!
I know this video is a few years old now, but have you tried to take out the floor in the trunk and fill the space underneath with some soft foam? I'm just wondering if that would make it more comfy and gives a bit more height.
I have not but for long trips i usually just put his bed back there. I guess I could just get a second bed and leave it back there for him :O. Good idea!
I’m guilty of using the second set-up but definitely don’t recommend it. My dog stands the entire ride. Very unsafe and annoying.
Ya I tried it once and instantly changed back.. Good call. Thanks for the comment 😊
What is your favourite easter egg?
I'll show you in my next video
Is it easy to remove the rear seats?
its easily doable but just know that you will have a contant error on your screen. Cheers!
Actually Can it accommodates two Akita approximately 87 pounds? Thank you
Might be quite packed if both your rear seats are up. Will be plenty of room if the seats are down tho. Let me know if you have more questions!
What kind of dog is this?
white shepherd /lab. Big good boy he is :)
@@TeslaHo thank you!! My wife kept saying it was pure lab, but I didn't see it.
How tall is your dog? I have a 90lb lab/golden but I think he's likely taller than your dog here
Let me check after work for ya. Did you want to know the sitting height or just when he is standing on 4 legs?
Also would like to add at 4:00 the height of his sitting area is 27.5inches high from trunk to the roof of the car.
@@TeslaHo Thanks! Yes, would just be curious if you measured him from top of head to floor when he's standing up. Trying to figure out if the far back (second row still up) would be too uncomfortable for him or not
@@lauraqualey3504 Will do stay tuned!
@@lauraqualey3504 just measured when he's on all 4 paws he's 27inches tall. Hope this helps!
Hey can i ask you a question about the model y, i drive an RX 350 but looking for the Y, im moving to an apt for school and there is only 1 super charger for 150 miles. Is there ever the posssibltity it would be closed? im just afraid i wont have anywhere to charge it?
Good question.. Tesla super chargers are 24/7. Bear in mind that some do require maintenance from time to time but usually that is just per station bases ⛽ and not all of them at the same location. I wouldn't worry too much about it but if you want the ease of mind, your back up plan is third party charging such as charge point . If you have more questions feel free to ask :).
Also forgot to mention... Great car dude. My friend drives a rx350 and that thang is fancy. Love it!
@@TeslaHo there are no others excpet the tesla charger for 150 miles :( only 2 non tesla ones but its for hotel people only, i am thinking of switching regardless becuase i need awd car for snow, im torn between another rx or the tesla y but its like we said theres only 1 real tesla charger :( worried in case they close the charger, like the mall near me currently in fl closed their gates so noone was able to go charge there car
@@TeslaHo is it also esay to report non working stalls, and how qick do they fix them? do you know by any chance?
@@lexithelexus7377 Awwww man that unfortunate. It is really easy to report. There is a number to call 1-877-798-3752 or just email Supercharger@teslamotors.com. Tesla has the ability to monitor them as well and troubleshoot it. And to your question regarding how fast the repairs are.... I unfortunately dont have a answer for that :( but will be doing some research after work today for ya.
Pumice stone will get dog hair out of that area until you find something to cover it up.
Ya good call.. just have to really be careful not to scratch the plastics cause I've screwed up a few times haha. Good advice!
Do you regret getting a black interior?
Tbh... I like the black but my next Tesla will be white for sure. What do you prefer? Thanks for the comment!
@@TeslaHo I am thinking to get one but uncertain for the interior color. I have a dog same size as yours kind of have a brown and white hair. I am just not sure which one will be better as far as interior.
@@miley_miles1165 Ah I would just go with what you think looks best. Some of my friends have the white seats and I've cleaned it before. It really isn't as hard as people would think as long you take couple minutes every week to wipe it down with baby wipes :). Make sure to have a good vacuum of course. Let me know what you decide on!!
No Tesla break, very sad for my dog.
huh what do you mean haha?
Polar bear express?
New business model
My dog would claw those seats, drool all over them, and pooch gets dead if you get rear ended.
Ya no perfect solution.. just make make sure to have a good dog cover and clean often ☺️. Cheers
what state you in man
I'm in Alberta Canada!
@@TeslaHo oh ok lol it’s just that u pronounce bag like my girlfriend
lol where is your gf from? I actually heard that before from my fellow American friends but I dont notice the difference 😂
Velcro it to the side
Yup in my later vids my mom sewed it to on lol. Looks gucci!
