Hey I'm interested in replacing my 21" uberterbs since I don't fancy paying $1k every year to replace the back tires. Any issues with the lowered suspension and bigger (?) brakes on the model Y performance? I just want the smaller black wheels that are not staggered so i can get cheaper tires...

What about model Y performance with larger rear tires than front, just swap left to right or not bother? Apparently rotating tires isn't a thing in "the Europes"...

Hey Oscar24390 Yeah i haven't touched them since installed, i use a no touch laser drive through car wash so no problems. James

Yeah I just got the same quote. My screen cracked on a cold (southern California cold like 40F) when i was running the demister. Calibrate the camera?! Total bollocks.

Yeah that seems to work pretty well, far fewer nags - thanks for sharing!

Tried it and works here in the US at least

Oh good to know, will try that!

Ahhh good to know, thanks!

I have a model Y and a 2019 XC90. Here are a few comparisons of their autosteer functionality: 1) prompts to show driver alertness are pretty annoying in frequency and randomness with Tesla, they have a more predictable frequency with Volvo. 2) tesla requires a wiggle of the steering wheel...

Btw, Tesla installed the rack (for free) and I've been using it without further issue.

Citrus based degreaser worked really well for me

Yep.

OK, here is the gripping finale to this saga! Dropped the car off yesterday after a couple weeks' delay waiting for the glass to come in. In the afternoon, had a text exchange with the technician who was polite and cheerful: his initial diagnosis was that the crack was caused by overtightening...

Haha, yeah the glass is totally cracked - massive cracks running from passenger side rear to driver seat. Glass is definitely getting replaced. I got 3 out of 4 points installed with no problem so was almost lucky. I'm pretty sure it was a defective installation of the glass panel rather than my...

Update: 1) insurance won't cover this! Learned a new term "negligent service" - that's what effing up your vehicle is called, not covered. 2) cracks have propogated all the way across from the passenger rear side to the driver front just from being parked out in the sun, pretty crazy. 3) got...

I'd recommend just getting Tesla to install it for you.

Thanks, having now done some YouTube "scholarship" I've determined that 1) these large pieces of glass are prone to stress induced fractures i.e. not via rock chip or other (see Ben Sullins' M3) and 2) my installation technique was consistent with "experts" (see Rack Outfitters). Anyway, service...

Thanks for the pics. So, it's impossible to tell since you can't see anything during install and instead it's all done by measurement and "feel". The J clip was positioned 412mm from the back of the glass panel same as the other side. It felt similar to the other 3 that I did prior to this one...

True, i didn't realize until i started the process how sketchy it'd be. I only plan to put surfboards up there so not too much risk of damage during loading but now second guessing how the roof would handle the rough ride of the performance+ and a large stand-up paddle board. Also, fyi - the...

a) if they replace it for free or cheap and offer to reinstall I'll do it. b) if i end up paying a ton, I'll live without a roof rack and tell everyone i know my horror story!

I'm amazed three went on ok, the whole process seemed super sketchy to be honest. So, after it's fixed I'm definitely not gonna re-attempt installation. Question is, shall I request Tesla to do it or just skip the whole thing? I don't really need the roof rack it's just a nice to have. Worried...

Yeah, it's an official Tesla product for home installation, installed by someone who actually read the instructions... Not expecting much but we'll see, will let you know. And yes i just had several panels realigned.

One of the worst feelings ever... Was finger tightening the final tower and crack, lame. Now gotta wait nearly two weeks to get it fixed. Pretty sure it's a manufacturing issue since it wasn't over-tightened and the other three towers went on ok. Anyway, thought I'd share more joys of Tesla...

Thanks for the tip on seasucker, those look great. Has anyone tried making a waterproof RFID key for a model X using an Arduino kit or something similar?
