1. any tpms sensor †hat is Tesla compatiable should work, it is auto detected by the car and you just choose rim size on the mcu and ¥øu’re Good to go. 2. Xl load rated winter tires are fine — blizzack, Michelin x-ice, nokian happa, pinareli, general . 3. You do not need to have it done by...

If you call primacy mx tires crappy at $276 a piece...

I have 6800 miles on my LR m3 red and am at wear bars in the rear too... Will be switching to pilot sports in the summer and xice in the winter and hoping for better wear.

Me too! You won’t like it if you have to pull it out in 0 degree weather with snow wearing gloves and accidentally dropping it in the snow. I hated it in feburary of last year. Thankfully phone key has been working better lately. (Last 4 months).

I live 100 mi away from the nearest supercharger. First time I used it was when I needed it. I bought a second umc and took it out to use it and they sent me a Europen model. Thankfully I was near a supercharger but could have been 100 mi plus from one. This is a Tesla problem. I have a vin in...

I live where temps range from -20 to 40 F during the winter. I purchased my m3 in Feb. I ran about 320wh/mi. About 30-40% loss in the worst of weather. It wasn't a problem for short trips but longer trips, I had to be cautious. No issues in the suer, getting 220 - 240 wh/mi

I drove my model 3 in 10 inches of snow no prob in feb. must be a new issue.

Thanks everyone. Sounds like Tesla will make it right but should have some sort of system so this doesn’t happen. The nematode 14-50 adapter said NA on it. I was an engineer in my prior life, and keeping the assembly lines separate or run days different would avoid this error altogether.

I was fortunate as I was only 20mi away from a supercharger. I almost took my car on a trip with no super chargers within 150mi of my destination and would have charged there... or not charged and had to be tow trucked 150mi or overnighted a cable or ranger. FYI check your cable before you leave.

Wow. Wonder how that happened.

I bought a Tesla umc cable from the Tesla store back in March to keep with my car as I use the original at home. This was the first weekend I needed it and I removed it from the package for the first time and got a plug that doesn't fit into my car. Can anyone identify it? European plug? Older...

The main downfall to cold weather is Significantly reduced range (30-40%) Poor Regen Reduced charging rate at supercharger. My experience a cold soaked battery at garage temp of 32. Outdoor temp of 20, it took an hour of freeway driving at 65mph to get to normal temp.

It takes a long time... I parked my car I. My insulated garage, 32F, outside temp 20F. Took about an hour for all Regen available and loss of efficiency with cabin heater to 320Whr/mi.

Mine doesn't quite cover the hole seems secure enough, ill take a photo of the cover.

Excellent post, my hole ended up about the same. When using your 1up I haven't figured out how to use the Velcro backup and/or chains if pulling a small utlity trailer. I guess u could have someone weld on a hook to the hitch.
