Our local service center always pumps the tires to 46psi when you go in for a service. I feel that they do it to maximize range at the cost of comfort. It's part of their MO. 42 is too high IMO. Tires will support the max load at 35psi. Simple physics.

Tesla always overinflates. It increases efficiency.

The stock tire can carry the max gross weight at 35psi, which is where the tire alarm illuminates. Anything over 35 is safe. Up to the max psi of the tire. I tend to hover around 38-39 cold in the morning.

I love my Y and nothing else can replace it for the price. It does everything I need and exceeds all my expectations. There are things I fixed to make it even better and I wish it had more range, but I've never needed more range in the last 6 months, so it's not really an issue.

The NVH part of the chassis has definitely been improved. This has more to do with where they placed the sound and vibration absorbing materials. I did a full Dyno matt and MLV install in my car for a stereo install and it made a huge improvement in suspension noise transmission. Tesla...

Did it? Everything looked the same too me. The lower spring arm has a slightly different design, but same mounts. There is a bushing instead of a bearing in the upper rear camber arm mount for the LR cars. All their old parts are still going to work. The new shocks and springs bolt to the...

Very small tweaks. The new shocks and springs fit on the old cars. It's basically 95%+ the same other than the tuning of the shocks and springs.

Nothing has fundamentally changed with the suspension. Aftermarket coilovers fix it and make it exactly what you want it to be. It's all about better tuning.

JPD engineering lip added. Fiberglass with carbon overlap. Very ridged and well made. Some variance along the top edge. Aero integration looks super smooth and I need to test my highway wh/mile. Build quality is a 7.5. Mounting is a 8, but would be higher if the top was perfect. Price was...

There are no direct comparisons. They do compare to tires that have been compared to them. For example the PS5. They are very new and you need to amalgamate the data to infer if it has the desired traits you want. IMO it's probably the best all around max summer tire. Mostly in noise, wet...

https://www.tire-reviews.com/Article/Michelin-Pilot-Sport-VS-EV-Specific-Tire.htm I've been following this tire, as it super efficient and has tons of grip.

There are 2 Hankook. An all season that is not as good as the PS4AS in handling, but better at everything else. And a Summer without the AS that matches or beats the PS4 and PS4S summer tires.

Stock Model y suspension tuning is still pretty bad. Geometry and kinematics are very good. I budgeted for coil overs before even buying the car. It's good to hear that the Model 3 finally has a good factory suspension.

Model Y Suspension: Front 115mm shock stroke with about a .66 motion ratio for 170mm ish wheel travel. Rear 160mm shock stroke with about a .87 motion ratio for 180mm ish wheel travel. .60 spring ratio. Front spacer keeps stock bottom out to droop ratio. You need a 31% longer spacer for the...

The Y has had a lot of upgrades. They are just all under the skin or small tweaks that you don't "see". A new Y is probably at least a year away and it will ramp slow, just like the 3. It will also be in high demand for at least a year while it ramps, limiting incentives. I have driven the...

The current model Y has all of the upgrades available and is the best EV SUV for the price. You can always wait and get stuck waiting forever. Don't buy, they are going to bring out a new one soon. Don't buy the first year of new production. Don't buy until they put stalks back in...... Just...

Wider tires hurt range and improve handlining on the Model 3/Y. Tesla only under sizes the fronts for range numbers. In a straight line it doesn't matter. I will never understand how terminal understeer is "safer". A neutral that can both understeer/oversteer depending on driver inputs is the...

You 100% need the redwood top hat bump stops. The top hat bushings are not designed to take bottom out forces. I wouldn't risk installing without them.

I paid $170 for the set. Whatever you need should be under $300. You need at least 2-3k more rate in the rear to get a "flat" ride. Otherwise the car will have a pitch ride. Flat ride makes the whole car rise up and down in sync and pitch rocks you back and forth.

I have spacers for the R&T kit so I used a 203mm 65mm swift spring. Stock rear spring is 178mm long. New kit uses different adapters and springs. I think redwood has a spring that would fit or you could get a set of adapters with the swift spring.

I'm on the newest Ohlin's street tune with 7k front/11k rear springs at factory MYP ride height. Yesterday with 4 people and some luggage we just touched the rear bump stops on a bigger freeway compression. IMO 8k rear springs are too soft, especially loaded. You would need to increase the...

The correct pattern is Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start.

I want the Gold Atomic Wheels AWZZ in 19, but I'm waiting till I need new tires.

Out for an early morning drive.

what app or screen is this?

Redwood sells Ohlin's and house damper kits designed to take the stock springs. Probably your best bet. They can give you several tunning options too. https://redwoodmotorsports.com/collections/model-y/products/model-3-ohlins-dfv-long-stroke-grand-touring-damper-upgrade-kit

Epa range is a joke. It should be tested and advertised for real world range. For example distance at 35mph average (town) and at 75mph (highway).

It would lower your car reducing ground clearance. If you must have PS4S then get the 265 or 275 40 19. Both will fit. 275 is about the max front fitment without camber arms. Smaller tires lower your gear ratio and make the car slower above 50mph too

If the hail is big enough to break your windshield then it will break the roof. The roof is laminated so it won't come apart. The rest of the car will be heavily damaged too.

Too small. Get the 255 45 19

👍 As a side note, I would get it aligned in the setting you use most.

You 100% need an alignment. The toe will be way off.

Nope. Front is sold as a complete damper/spring unit.

No. Pilot sport 4s is a max performance summer tire. Aka PS4S Pilot sport 4 all season is the best all season tires available for sporty driving. Aka PS4AS.

Most garage floors are not really flat. At least mines not. I feel that using the fixed points of the damper are better for a home setup than the ground clearance as it has a lot of stacking tolerances. Ground should be checked to make sure it's in the range you want. I personally had all...

Adjusting 1 corner affects the other 3. Then you need to put the car down and move it around to settle the suspension. Even if you don't adjust it, just lifting moving and remeasuring will change you measurements. It's simply not repeatable unless you have it on posts instead of wheels and...

I went down this rabbit hole and there are just too many variable that change for ride height to be a good balancing tool. Bushing flex, chassis flex and suspension bind all make it a moving target. Alignment is changing with adjustments too and effects the height. I would personally even...

Chasing the ride height is a fools errand. Let's assume your springs aren't terrible and are similar enough to not matter side to side. First set the total length to the required setting. Then measure the thread gap to the adjuster and set them the same side to side. If the front or rear needs...

Wider wheels can improve aero by giving the tire a rounder edge. light weight increases range, while an open face decreases it.

Charging end to car yes Plug and dongle no.

Hankook Ion evo AS SUV. 100% the best tire for your needs. Michelin All season 4 is the best handling AS tire, but worse in all your listed factors.

Your right. Toe out will make for a unstable car.

Your car probably doesn't need that expensive of repairs and an independent shop should be able to fix it for much less. But that requires finding a reputable one and forming a relationship with them if you want to keep the car. Do you use FSD and free charging? It has Zero value to Tesla as a...

Rear toe should be in or -.20. The red bar is wrong. I too prefer and recommend -.05 to .00 toe in all the way around.

You have a lot of camber in the rear and the toe looks okay. Fixing the camber takes aftermarket parts. The rear inner edge is going to wear at an accelerated rate.

A stretched tire should have significantly less side to side movement under changes in cornering loads. The inner sidewalls relative to the load is already near at max stretch and the outer sidewall has to extend up against the downward pressure of the car stabilizing it. If the rim in narrow...

I would 100% recommend the street kit unless you are building a track car or want to run more than 10mm less than stock height. Stock springs where sized wrong and had absently zero preload capacity. This gave you only shock length to adjust ride height. It was a very compromised setup with no...

Balance is very good, but a little less understeer would be nice. I want less coupling of the front wheels for a more independent front end.

I have swift springs. My kit started life as a R/T and used a 178mm rear spring. But it ran out of preload and I swapped to a 203mm spring. The front needs a 254mm at 7k and longer if you go to 6k. I had to stick with the adapters that came with the kit. If you get it from Redwood, they can...
