Separate names with a comma.
Yeah the flip side (if you can time it strategically) is pretty awesome here too in CA. I live near a shopping center where there's free L3...
I feel like this isn't emphasized enough. My experience is a little atypical, but I think the narrative that electricity is cheaper than gas is...
Rarely - I constantly regulate my speed. I lift my foot off more often when in an area with many red lights or stop sign.
I think the truth is not clear here until we have a test on the same terrain. Unfortunately that data is going to be hard to get. All we have are...
Don't need to convince me :), I've personally encountered significant fishtailing during snowstorms in Big Cottonwood Canyon in Utah and Luther...
Have you tried it on twisty and snowy mountain roads? I find that on mostly flat / level ground it's not so much of an issue because you don't...
Before you charge, do you have a full left bar for regenerative breaking? I've noticed if there are any "dots" on the left bar for regenerative...
Here’s a corresponding thread in Reddit from the perspective of a Model 3 -...
The fishtailing doesn’t just happen on regen, it happens on acceleration as well. This was on brand new Continental VikingContact 7 dedicated snow...
Either that or Tesla accelerates plans to launch an official one. It can’t be good for them to have Tesla owners using a third-party adapter they...
Yeah I think the off-road mode may make a bigger difference here over the snow tires - the RWD bias of the Model Y seems to affect stability a lot...
Did the “blowing past” stop after you turned on off road? Honest question, I felt I gained a lot more stability w/off-road mode, although I wasn’t...
I've been driving through / during the recent snowstorms in Lake Tahoe / Sierra Nevada, and I've definitely felt like the off-road assist made a...
I went to the link - for per kWh pricing it says it’s a flat $0.43/kWh, or $0.31/kWh if you’re a Pass+ member? From my reading, it doesn’t sound...
I came from a 2011 Prius with 170k miles on it. Comparatively with a new 19" LR AWD MY - I felt there wasn't much difference, they both seemed...
I found this video pretty enlightening about how the Model Y handles when it loses traction - and about the rear wheel bias. [MEDIA]
Looking forward to hearing more about this.
I'm really only keeping the chains because it's part of California requirements to have them in your vehicle even if you have AWD + snow tires....
Similar issue raised in reddit, going to paste my response here as well. Use 70% of the EPA range for a safe estimate. This isn’t really limited...
Thanks! That's a good point. I agree that it might be possible that people might interpret it as installing a smaller tire would make it possible....
Hmmm... the point is that the clearance is too small, not that this particular set of chains won't work. If you don't get that from my post... I'm...
I also explicitly mentioned in the post that it shouldn't be done - the photos are to demonstrate why, i.e. that the clearance is too small...
I definitely sympathize with you - I’ve driven in many remote areas and the lack of supercharging has made planning annoying. Having said that, I...
Just the parking lot. I ended up not having to actually use it in the snow.
So just wanted to circle back on this. I live in an apartment where garage space is limited so I had to wait until I drove out to a motel with a...
Yup, I should have linked the official regs: Chain Controls / Chain Installation | Caltrans
Interesting! I am guessing temps probably went above and below freezing, causing ice to form on the roads. Studless snow tires won’t help there -...
Ah I hadn’t thought about behind the wheel, that’s a good point. I can’t test it right now, but I’ll post an update when I can.
Pretty sure you’ll have to buy it separately, costs $450. I’d also recommend downloading the PlugShare app and check out stations along your...
Thanks! I hadn’t noticed. Very interesting, I wonder why the same “product” has a completely different thread pattern. I guess it’s related to the...
Pardon my ignorance, but aren’t they both Sottozeros? Not sure how to check the thread at least from the links alone.
Nope I haven’t, but agreed about the clearance concerns. These are supposed to be “S” class which should help, and with the 19” Geminis I’m more...
yup looks like it - Model 3 18" Aero Wheel and Winter Tire Package
I think these are legitimate concerns, and you need to be prepared to deal with it. I've sometimes taken to estimate each % of battery level as...
I bought a pair of these - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001H9GQ5Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00 Don't really intend to use them, since...
This is the most critical point. There’s no practical way to charge the car if you aren’t near a charging station and you run out of energy. With...
This is why I recommend a factor of 2 rather than 3 when estimating from percentage. E.g. if you have 80%, you should estimate your range as 160...
Just multiply by 2 for a safe number. If it's 50%, you have 100 miles left. If it's 100%, you have 200 miles left. It sounds a bit insane, but...
Ugh... I wish I had known about this earlier. I’ve been trying to find a set of “all weather” tires as Nokian calls them, but they don’t come in...
Thanks! That’s good to know, and agreed that it definitely limits the options. It’s been frustrating how limited the options are for the Model Y...
Interesting - so you got one of the winter tire packages? Tesla Model Y 20" Tesla Wheel and Winter Tire Package (Set of 4) - T Sportline - Tesla...
Thanks! The website doesn't list the Tesla Model Y though[ATTACH] Although I assume anything that fits 255/45R19 will work. I'm aware these are...
Similar to the snow tire thread - does anyone have any recommendations on Snow chains for the Model Y? Mine are the 19" Geminis, so I assume...
I did a check on the tire sizes you mentioned - https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator/255-45R19/255-50R19/245-45R20?ismetric=False...
I can relate to this, I was trying to find an all-weather tire that would fit my 19" Geminis, but none of the recommended tire sizes on the Model...
Yes how are you getting $300 cash back? Discover caps it at the first $1500, but both the acceleration boost and EAP are $6000 - the maximum cash...
Was looking for this - just to clarify and confirm, if I buy winter tires of the same specifications as my model Y - mine are the Geminis...
