Continental UK now has the AllSeasonContact 2 tyres available in 255/45/19 104Y. I haven’t seen them for sale anywhere yet, but this model just won Tyre Reviews’ test. EDIT: £223 at MyTyres - Continental AllSeasonContact 2. Only £ 223.49...

That’s a REALLY good price! I’d fit the OEM Hankooks again, but they’ve gone up by a ridiculous amount.

I’ve been waiting for these since getting my Y in March 2022, but that seems too expensive considering the competition.

Not a bad price at all! I see that there’s an ‘A’ rated version available for efficiency, but they’re difficult to source.

Thanks :) It has been in the back of my mind that the very flat voltage curve for LFP batteries could be the issue here. I had a company over to quote earlier so I'm still very interested in this. As easy as a Powerwall 2 would be, I don't really want to buy into NMC technology at this late stage.

Have you had any issues with the GivEnergy AIO? I'm seeing quite a few moans in various Facebook groups about the SOC randomly dropping to almost nothing which causes the house to draw from the grid. Apparently it'll be fixed in a future software update, but who knows when that will be. I'm...

I agree, it's just a shame that the Continentals aren't the new version (All Season Contact 2). The Pirelli Scorpion All Season SF2 Elect look good on the Gemini alloys too: link

Someone from a Facebook group very kindly sent me these photos showing the Goodyears on the Gemini alloys. I have his permission to post them here.

Does anyone know how the Goodyear Vector 4 Season Gen 3 SUV look on the Gemini 19” alloys?

Don’t you have a Model 3?

Lots of info here: MYLR all season tyres

The Model Y's 19" tyre size is 255/45/19. Do you mean has anyone tried 265?

Thanks very much @jamr!

So, not a long range Model Y then ;) The Model 3 doesn’t have a Gemini wheel option so you’re confusing people.

The Gemini {19”) alloys don’t come with Michelin tyres from the factory though. They’re fitted with Hankooks. Are you referring to the 20” Induction wheels?

They do sound very good, but, how will they look on the Gemini alloys? ;)

Maybe @jamr could share a photo of their Continental tyres?

So you’re not allowed to drive in Germany or Spain if the tyres don’t match the OEM’s specs exactly?

Has anyone tried the Michelin Pilot Sport 5? I'm worried about 2 things: 1. They're rated for cars, not SUVs 2. How much will the alloys protrude EDIT: I see that the Michelin Pilot EV is now available in 255/45/19 104W XL - https://www.tyrelabelling.eu/EU/2020-740/en/251261_fcs_en.pdf &...

Would you mind taking a photo please? I’ve seen a photo on here before, and it was very prominent.

The alloys stick out a lot with the CC2s :(

The MO (Mercedes) ones don’t appear to have the “EV” designation so this isn’t an apples vs apples comparison. https://www.camskill.co.uk/m55b0s8613p194847/Hankook_Tyres_Car_Hankook_Ventus_S1_Evo_3_K127_255_45_R19_104Y_XL_%28MO%29_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_A_Wet_Grip%3A_B_NoiseClass%3A_A_Noise%3A_69dB

You’re looking at the Existing Inventory, not the Used Inventory.

Tesla customer service told me to reinstall the app on my iPhone and it now works.

It’s about ~30 meters from the charging points.

Thenks very much! I’ve been looking at those wheels for over a year now but just can’t bring myself to pull the trigger. They really are the nicest option, and I am not a fan of aftermarket wheels normally!

Off topic, apologies, but would you mind letting me know what was the total cost for the wheels please?

Well, I called an electrician on CheckATrade with a zillion excellent reviews and he's uninstalling it for £80 ex. VAT. I won't know how much it will cost to reinstall until we've moved, but based on his quote to remove it, I feel like I'm not going to get screwed. If it dies in 18 months then...

Indeed :( I don't mind granny charging in the meantime. Getting it uninstalled before we move out is the urgent requirement. Will phone a few electricians on CheckATrade and see what they say.

I gave him the date I needed it done by, so I'm under no illusion that he sensed the pressure. Unfortunately with house purchases some things have to be left to the last minute because you just don't know when you're going to complete until the very end. There's no chance of me getting an...

I agree, it is very expensive considering Andersen themselves quoted me £172.80 inc VAT to uninstall it, however without a survey they couldn't quote for the reinstallation. I don't know if this guy has factored some fat into the quote since I can't give him any details about where the consumer...

I'm in the unfortunate situation of now having to decide whether it's worth it to uninstall my A2 and move it to our new house in 3 weeks. I've had a rough quote of £600 inc. for this work (no survey done), and the worry is what do I do if and when the charger ever needs a spare part? I could...

I agree with this. I’ve had my Model Y with the white interior for a month and not once have I seen reflections off of the windscreen or side windows.

I'm so sorry. I was looking at the description or tag line under each product which never changes from "Model 3..." each time you cycle through the pictures. I didn't realise at the photos themselves had the description of the product in them.

@teaston the Aliexpress link for the all weather mats takes you to a product page for the Model 3. I can’t find any Model Y mats in that store. Do you have another link by any chance? Thanks :)

Can confirm that this happened to me today. I’m on the December 2019 v1 rate card (Go Faster for 5 hours from 20h30) for another year.

Does anyone have a recommendation for something gmthat can protect the front seats from kid’s kicking them? Looking for something that’s high quality, fits well and doesn’t hang over the headrest.

Keep an eye on Tevo Solutions. They said that they were working on a new suspension setup and they have a lot of experience with the Model 3 @Tevo Solutions

To satisfy your pedantry, I was looking for opinions from UK owners which is why this thread is in the UK&I sub-forum. The thread you linked to makes no mention of any owners having the white interior in their posts, nor their signatures. Just remember, you don't have to post in a thread.

I've done that, multiple times, across the entire forum but there is no consensus as to which seat protector a) doesn't stain and b) doesn't leave imprints. Also, a lot of seat protectors recommended on TMC can only be bought in the US which is why I created this thread in the UK&I sub-forum.

This idiot did :P

Thanks. Do you have the white interior?

I'm quite surprised that people with almost 3 year old Model 3s don't have an opinion about this :)

Hi all, My Model Y has the white interior and I’m looking for recommendations for tried and tested car seat protectors for an ISOFIX base. I’ve put a white towel underneath it but it isn’t an elegant solution. I don’t need a car seat protector that protects the backrest of the seat since the...

As far as I can tell, it’s come out 100%.

Nice one, thanks. Do you just apply it with a microfibre cloth?

Any recommendations? Every YouTuber seems to be getting paid to promote Gyeon Leather Shield so I have my doubts about it. There’s a lot of anecdotal evidence on this forum from people with 3 year old Model 3s that have never protected their seats and they still look new.

Why? They’re plastic.

Picked mine up today. A few tiny, tiny issues but on the whole I’m happy. Need to wash it tomorrow to find out if their cleaning crew screwed the paint. My jeans got wet in the rain so I’ve already got blue dye transfer on the driver’s seat. Got 90-95% of it off with a single baby wipe but had...

ME TOO :D
