    FS: Tesla Model X Bosal Hitch and Adapter (Vancouver, BC area)

    Asking $500 Canadian dollars. Taken off our 2017 Model X (I installed a permanent hitch and removed this OEM one). The adapter is unused in its original foam padding case. The hitch bar itself is in great condition.

    FS: Apex Forged EC-7R with Goodyear F1 Supercar 3R tire for Model 3 (Vancouver, BC area)

    Model 3 Tires, Tire Sizes, Types, make / model recommendations, tire discussions, etc

    I bought some of the new 18x9.5" ET34 APEX EC-7R Forged Tesla Model 3 Wheels from a supplier here in Canada who agreed to fit 265/40r18 Goodyear Supercar 3's (a 200 tread wear tire) and deliver them to me. It saved me the hassle of driving the bare rims to a tire shop to get tires mounted...

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    I got clarification. The A052’s are simply no longer offered in the size I wanted: 265/40r18.

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    A local shop told me today the Advan A052’s are discontinued. I was inquiring about 265/40r18’s. Anyone else hearing this? I see no other evidence of this online...

    Upgraded To OEM Performance Brakes

    To close the circle on this, and to help anyone else who ever wants/needs to source the slider bolts and accompanying hardware for the rear pup brakes, I did manage to get them but only from Brembo directly! I just inquired via the brembo parts website and they responded by giving me Tesla part...

    Upgraded To OEM Performance Brakes

    I can't say whether the aeros would fit (but I suspect not). On the 18" Titan 7's i have on for the colder months there's something like 7-10mm of clearance (my visual estimate only!) It's the rear pup brakes that are a tighter fit - I would guess those are closer to 5mm or so clearance.

    Upgraded To OEM Performance Brakes

    You’re probably right. I was daydreaming and torqued to the 83nm that I believe the caliper bolts get. I believe the slider bolts are supposed to be around 25nm (but they felt a bit tighter than that coming off). It would just be nice to know I can get replacement bolts. I find the parts finder...

    Upgraded To OEM Performance Brakes

    Not my Caliper, but I’ve circled where the bolts attach to the mounting bracket. I thought the caliper glided on the Slider bolts only, and I wasn’t too worried about the mounting bracket.
