You can sell new 21s for about 2k and put that towards a set of aftermarket wheels. You're paying a premium for overpriced TSportline wheels.

somebody is projecting

does the center console wood match in person? the photos make it look different

2k might even be low for a panel

no to 1 and 3. no idea about 2, but they are actively pushing one pedal, max regen for range ratings

Efficiency with new tires is worse until they wear a bit, then should return to "normal"

Shims are the way to go for people who only care about tires

Range loss is a few % difference. It does make noise, sometimes it's more than the tires other times it a lot louder

The X isn't picky, you just hear a lot more in an electric car.

Take measurements, raise car, loosen and adjust in the appropriate direction, lower car, recheck.

That's nuts, but if the numbers make sense. In CA, we're on the hook for the taxes and we can't deduct the trade in. Makes it less appealing to jump around.

why the upgrade? 23-24 is the same car other than the color?

Keep an eye on CL. I paid $450 for 4 curbed 19" with OEM TPMS and hubcabs. Offset is great for the winter too since everything stays in the wheel wells.

Do you not care about any interior/exterior combo? Do you care about acceleration? If no, I'd get the long range. The performance will go through rear tires faster, tires cannot be rotated, has less range and is more inefficient.

Neither. All of this has been throughly discussed in the thread.

tbh, I've never rebuilt a wheel. I've assembled plenty of 3pc, but have no idea what the actual parts costs are. Wonder how much that would cost?

thanks! yeah, I did want bronze, but didn't want to spend the money right now. Maybe next winter? My partner curbed the wheels when they were on the X, so I do need to refinish them anyways. There's plenty of clearance because it's moving the wheel away from the the hub. The spacer width I...

do you have a photo, I can’t picture this?

If you feel you have a perfect car, I would not make any changes. There are lots of small, but annoying issues people are encounterihng with the newer Ys. Do you need the extra range?

Lol, well, I did deduct >100k, so we'll see what they say 😂

Ah makes sense. How'd that convo go with the IRS?

Reporting back, I mounted everything yesterday and the sensors did pair immediately. I had a small leak on the TPMS side, but that's more of a factor of my wheel than the sensor. I snugged down the collar while mounting, but after seating the tire beads the sensor must have shifted. All four...

Efficiency report over a CA winter with OEM 19s, covers, and OEM cross bars:

How much before they started complaining? I recently started a business and have invested heavily in machinery. We generate some income, but definitely not enough to come close to breaking even.

I have a small concern about air leakage due to the diameter of the sensor. It barely seats from the inside and required some finagling to not leak. Everything is pressurized and holding steady, but we'll see. Since I was doing this myself, I used a breaker against the studs and wood to...

I had these on my previous X and had another set of adapters made so I could fit them on the Y. There were some delays with the anodizing so it took a little longer than I would have liked but the timing worked out since it's just starting to warm up. Tires are 255/40Z/20 Continental...

Eh, personally I want to get in the car and drive. Not toggle back and forth in menus to enable/disable things. We like EAP, but we didn't pay $6k since it came with the car. It's not worth $2k either. On the Y we just cancel AP to change lanes, then reengage.

That was the original behavior, it has since changed

Why would we pay $2k for FSD and disable it? As it stands, you can't transfer FSD right now unless Tesla is running a special. Regardless, we wouldn't pay $2k for EAP either 😂

Only if you've applied for the permits, which Tesla has not.

Nope, we like EAP and the ability to single/double tap to activate cruise/lane keep.

I think this is important. Cross country in a Cessna with a run of the mill AP is boring and uneventful which is what I'd want out of Tesla's FSD. Sure, it'll try to kill you but you know exactly how it'll do it every time. FSD wants to kill me a million different ways. I used a mix of V11/V12...

Yeah, +1 to all of that. The Chinese cars are so cheap, even with crazy tariffs they are going to be be cheaper than any US made EV. "FSD" gives Tesla a competitive adv, but not if consumers have to pay for it.

You should talk to a tax professional. Good luck justifying that to the IRS with no income

I think Tesla will need to offer EAP features for free to stay competitive. Their current AP offering actually makes the car feel dated. My guess would be when the tech stack is unified between highway and local. I predict: - FSD viz at a minimum but probably… - free FSD viz and EAP highway -...

No

You can literally do an alignment without wheels on the car 😂

You basically lose the repeater camera at night when signaling.

They don't. It's "normal"

You should be able to find plenty of options off the shelf since that's ~0.25"

You do not need to align your car if you change tires

Does Evolve cover DU and battery? XC changed their pricing a while back and now include DU/battery with eligible vehicles.

Tire warranty doesn't cover uneven tire wear, so it's not really that useful

I sold my X, but yes, I was running square OEM 20" fronts as well as 20" aftermarket wheels.

This looks similar to @bradthebold's results. My conversion might be off, but his toe is approx 0.19 degrees using the stock wheel diameter. Based on that, I think the move is to use a 4.8mm shim stack and reuse the OEM bolts

Interesting. The taller 5.5mm require aftermarket hardware but the 4.8mm do not. I'm interested in final readings on your reds once you get the car aligned. Curious how they compare to the 4.8mm, which looked very good.

Do you know the thickness of the reds? I wonder how close they are to 4.8mm

I had to reformat on my PC, then reformat from the car. Hopefully that works for you

If I’m forced to add a lot of weight I’ll typically stack it. When I see a large strip it’s usually a case of somebody reading 6oz and pulling out the entire length

If there’s no vibration it’s not a cause for concern. Looks like a lazy tech. It’s not going to hurt anything.
