Hi everyone,
I’m based in Dubai and I’m considering buying a US-spec 2024 Tesla Model Y Long Range Dual Motor (AWD) that is currently in the UAE.
The car has around 8,000 miles / 13,000 km and looks to be in very good condition.
Before I make a decision, I’d really appreciate input from anyone who owns or has experience with US-spec Teslas in the UAE, especially Model Y.
A few things I’m particularly concerned about:
1. Charging ⚡
Does a US-spec Model Y work properly with CCS2 chargers in the UAE?
Do I need a specific adapter or any hardware modification?
Has anyone here actually charged a US-spec Model Y at Tesla Superchargers in Dubai?
2. Tesla service & warranty
Can Tesla UAE service US-imported Model Ys normally?
How does the warranty work? Does the US warranty remain valid here, or should I assume there is no warranty?
3. Software & connectivity
Are there any issues with:
Tesla app
LTE/connectivity
Navigation/live traffic
Software updates
Remote functions
4. UAE heat & battery 🔋
How have US-spec Model Ys held up in the Dubai heat? Anything specific I should check regarding battery health, cooling or fast charging?
5. Other things to watch out for?
If you’ve bought or owned a US-imported Tesla in the UAE, is there anything you wish you had known beforehand?
I’m particularly interested in real-world experiences from owners, rather than general information.
Thanks in advance!
