    Frequent Tire Punctures (4 in 7 months) Killing My Love For My Model X- Avg Every six weeks

    I've actually gotten this suggested on a couple of other forums as well. I am starting to lean towards this theory. While I would never be able to spot a individual nail or a piece of glass, I do avoid piles of debris that build up in certain places on the road. It makes sense that my AP...

    Frequent Tire Punctures (4 in 7 months) Killing My Love For My Model X- Avg Every six weeks

    Thats not exactly what I said. I am frustrated with the amount of tire punctures I am having and I am simply trying to figure out the cause as I have never had tire issues before owning a Tesla. Bc I've never had these problems with any other vehicle, yes I did wonder if there might be something...

    Yea sorry I caught that! A spare tire, plus a jack, plus all the tools and supplies weighs close to 100lbs. 100lbs, of what should be unnecessary equipment will have an impact on range. I don't care how minimal it is, the fact of the matter is, the more weight you add to these vehicles, the...

    Frequent Tire Punctures (4 in 7 months) Killing My Love For My Model X- Avg Every six weeks

    Yes, very seriously. I have a pregnant wife, a 3 year old and a 5 year old and we take frequent long road trips. Im can't get stuck on the side of the road with a flat, its not an option. And yes to the battery depletion. The spare tire kit and equipment all together easily weighs 100lbs.

    Nails and glass in the tread, nothing in the sidewall.

    By punctures, I mean debris in the tires. It has been glass and nails. I have the 20's bc I thought I would have fewer issues with this size. Previous vehicle was a Yukon and the tires were much bigger

    Frequent Tire Punctures (4 in 7 months) Killing My Love For My Model X- Avg Every six weeks

    I am having very frequent tire punctures and tire issues in general. It has gotten to the point that it is really ruining the experience of owning this vehicle. I have had 4 tire punctures since April. I am averaging a tire puncture about every 6 weeks. My wife and I can't remember the last time...

    Front Wheel or Rear Wheel, how to tell the difference?

    Ok Im an idiot, I found it. 265, written in big letters right on the side of the tire. So that confirms this is a front wheel. Is this safe to use as a spare even on the rear? Thanks!!!

    Front Wheel or Rear Wheel, how to tell the difference?

    Correct! So what I am asking is how to confirm that my spare is a front wheel? I had a tire put onto one of my OEM wheels after I bought after market wheels. I think I had them put a tire on one of the front OEM wheels but I don't remember. So what I am asking is how do I confirm that my spare...

    Front Wheel or Rear Wheel, how to tell the difference?

    Hello Everyone. I have kind of a stupid question. I was curious, on the factory 20' model X wheels how can I tell the difference between the front and rear wheel if they are off the vehicle. The reason I ask is because I removed all my wheels and replaced them with TSportline wheels. I took one...

    20” TST Sportline Range Impact and Review

    i was just curious if any TMC members have purchased the 20” TST wheels from TSportline. What has the impact on range been? Any noticeable difference in performance?
