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...
