Bump and dropping the price to $100 for each.

No, trying to sell these locally for now. Seems like it wouldn't be cheap to send them up to Seattle.

Selling 2 235/40R19 Continental ProContact RX tires. $125 each. 700 miles on them. Off a 2022 Model 3. Hit a pothole and decided to replace all 4 tires as these are hard to find(was waiting 10 days). Could come in handy. In Sacramento CA.

Damn, anyone know if Continental has the same warranty? From glancing at their warranty info, it doesn't appear so. 2 weeks into ownership and 2 blown tires due to a pot hole. Currently waiting for replacements(11 days and counting).

Yup. Exactly. SMUD is ok with a like for like panel replacement. Telsa "can't" install if the line isn't in conduit. It took 3 weeks just to get that answer out of them. I'm going to go ahead and just upgrade to 200A. I may just use a 3" line in case I ever need to go up to 300/400A. I highly...

Just wanted to post a quick update incase anyone stumbles across this post. Per Tesla, its not that they can't install on a 125A panel, its the fact that in my area(Sacramento), SMUD did not use conduit when installing service in the 70s. So, Tesla's requirement is for the conduit, not 200A.

oh ok. I think PWs are the reason. I'm just doing solar.

Can't offer much help, but I'm curious as to why you need to go to 200A. Is it a Tesla requirement? I'm in a similar position where Tesla asked me to update my pan Can't offer much help, but I'm curious as to why you need to go to 200A. Is it a Tesla requirement? I'm in a similar position where...

Yup, no electric heat. It does make sense that Tesla recommends or assumes 200A. However, there shouldn’t be an issue if I replace what I currently have with a 225A, correct?

thanks my thinking too. I currently have a 125a panel with 100a service without issue. It was confusing to me as Tesla shows 200a in their docs. I’m still trying to get then to confirm that a new 125A panel will work, but no luck yet. Worst case scenario, I upgrade my 50 year old panel for $3K...

Here is the panel. House was built in 1972 I think. @BrettS Yeah, not sure if they would allow me to just upgrade the panel to 200A and not upgrade the line. I can try to find out, however, I thought that was a no-no as mentioned by @SoundDaTrumpet I'm in Sacramento but not with PG&E, I have...

I've been getting bits and pieces of info for a few days now, but I just can't come to a complete understanding. Here is my scenario. Trying to install an 8kW system. Currently have an ancient 125A main panel. No sub panels. I do already have a EV charger if that matters. Tesla stated that the...
