    19" Gemini [Mostly Winter] Tire Replacement - Vredestein Quatrac Pro?

    Sounds about right. Outside of here, maybe reddit or ebay as well. Ebay will get the most eyeballs, but a little more to consider in order to come out the other end alright with shipping & selling fees in that marketplace.

    19" Gemini [Mostly Winter] Tire Replacement - Vredestein Quatrac Pro?

    Great feedback, thank you. Good point regarding the wheel weight as well, could be a factor. If I do go A/S and like them as is, not impossible I choose next year to unload the 21's as well. Just curious on that front, do you have a listing place in mind to sell? When Iooked around online in...

    19" Gemini [Mostly Winter] Tire Replacement - Vredestein Quatrac Pro?

    Greetings. So far I'm the opposite of a fan of the stock Continental Pro Contact RX tires, winter driving here in the upper Midwest. Started out feeling a bit too cushy/dead in cornering for my preference, and now in cold & light snow, care for them even less. They do not bite, sort of as...

    New 19 inch T Sportline wheels on Midnight Silver metallic

    Satin black powder coated Geminis on a blue Performance Y here for reference. In my profile pic are 19" black TST rims on our MSM Model 3 for comparison as well.

    Deep Blue Metallic Model Y Picture Thread

    PUP with powder coated Geminis ready for the cold months ahead. Relieved to have this done and the Ubers stored away in the basement. So silly Tesla doesn't have these available yet for purchase on their site for those like me who prefer a 2nd seasonal wheel set.

    Model Y Performance - Snow Tires Possible?

    FWIW to go through the hassle of piecing together your own nice set (and also tracking dowm TPMS from Tesla anyway), or ordering something from Tsportline, you're in at least $3K, probably more for most choices outside of TSS, so anywhere south of that for a set of Geminis and TPMS is nothing to...

    Deep Blue Metallic Model Y Picture Thread

    Wheels look really good. Just curious is that a gloss black finish? Also for center caps do those have a white or silver logo? White seems to be a bit easier to find online but IMO doesn't seem to look as nice. Currently debating between gunmetal or black powder coat for my Gemini winter...

    Model Y Performance - Snow Tires Possible?

    If you've got one vehicle where you flip wheel sets, I would agree it probably doesn't make sense to DIY cost or convenience wise. With two vehicles (or I guess if you change more often for some reason) it has saved me time to go that route myself.

    Model Y Performance - Snow Tires Possible?

    If you purchased from Tsportline, they *should* be balanced ane ready to rumble. I have a set for my M3P and popped them on out of the box last year (as in profile pic).

    PUP Brakes - 19" Geminis?

    Order and pickup of TPMS through the Milwaukee service center was straight forward. Having an actual contact in parts made that possible and he was really helpful. I know unfortunately this is often not the case elsewhere.

    Model Y Performance - Snow Tires Possible?

    Agree with this. Having Tesla do these wheels swaps provides no benefit in outcome and cost, timing, and communication will all be [possibly much] worse. If you have a good local tire/auto shop as an option, if not able to DIY, is a much better choice. Would suggest erroring on having the...

    Deep Blue Metallic Model Y Picture Thread

    I was also used to BMW rubber all seasons. Comfortable under foot. The Tesmanian mats are just like WeatherTech liners. I had a set of those for about a year and never got used to my feet sliding around and for long drives were not comfortable. Hard plastic. I went with the 3D maxpider...

    Deep Blue Metallic Model Y Picture Thread

    Interior color, wheels, and calipers certainly can have a big impact on how you like one color vs. another. I have the PUP in blue with white interior. My personal favorite. Same time saw a storm trooper LR with the Inductions and loved that combo.

    Model Y Performance - Snow Tires Possible?

    OP noted that you are not even able to see that it comes equipped with summer rubber when ordering. This is true. 'Common sense' wouldn't dictate necessarily dicate that a stock CUV/SUV comes equipped with summer rubber standard. BMW offers A/S standard on the M40i but summer standard on the...

    Model Y Performance - Snow Tires Possible?

    That's a really good way to frame how dumb the situation is they've created. And not just here we're also talking northern Europe, China, Korea, etc. I haven't thought hard enough about the number or units we're talking here but it's not immaterial, so the situation you pose is not far fetched.

    PUP Brakes - 19" Geminis?

    ^^^ Thanks for the feedback. Took the dive and scooped up a set of Geminis. Also now waiting for the TPMSs to arrive at the Milwaukee service center, we'll see how that goes.

    Model Y Performance - Snow Tires Possible?

    Interesting feedback you received. There's a part of me that tries to recognize that parts and service advisors have been put in a tough spot not having any answers or solutions from Hawthorne/Freemont to give to PUP owners in more than half of the country. I ended picking up a set of barely...

    Tesla's lack of tire or wheel set option this late in the year is beyond dumbfounding. Just sending thousands of new buyers into aftermarket choices.

    PUP Brakes - 19" Geminis?

    There are photos floating around and it seems some people have done this. But Tesla won't allow you to order wheel sets, and cannot confirm if they fit. Does anyone happen to know definitively...will the 19" Geminis fit over the Performance brakes? I'd like to pick up a set used online for my...

    Martian wheels

    Model Y now with Wheel Configuration

    Hear you on parts advisor. My hot take is that he'd heard my question before, and had zero interest in attempting to help.

    Model Y now with Wheel Configuration

    Winter wheels - same boat here, cold winter state and no Tesla option for those of us with [heavy, staggered] 21's that were forced. Almost hard to believe at this point. Don't really care for any of the popular aftermarket options for the prices so hoping this magically changes next 30 days...

    Induction wheel cleaner - recommendation

    Car Guys Wheel cleaner. Having a good sealant or cermic on the wheel helps. Fortunately with regen, not much brake dust as compared to an ICE with performance brakes (BMW M brakes by comparison, a cleaning nightmare).

    Greetings. Curious if anyone is able to confirm whether or not the 19" Gemini wheels will be compatible with the Y Performance brakes. Haven't seen any press or photos of a Y equipped with both, only the 19's on stealth models; vs. the Induction (prototypes) or Uberturbines...

    Model Y wheel options

    Understanding that you'd want it off same way you'd want a donut wheel off, given that they share a bolt pattern, is there any reason I couldn't use a Model 3 wheel (from winter set) as a spare tire for a Model Y, particularly to be safe on a long trip?

    NoA is worthless, Autopilot is essentially unimproved from 2016-2017, and everybody has caught up.

    OP is right. Shelled out for enhanced autopilot here almost a year ago. What a joke. This whole feature suite as Tesla falsely pushes it out is the Dippin' Dots (hooray, the future will come at some point!) of high margin automotive add-ons. I guess in that way it replaces the sort of...

    Lower Suspension on Performance vs. Long Rang

    The difference for Model 3 is 10mm, so we can probably expect similar with Y. In other words, marginal actual difference in height. As far as suspension performance one vs. the other I'm sure those details are out there. Choice of wheel and tire visually will most likely be more meaningful...

    Wheels wheels

    The lowered ride height is probably 10-15mm like the M3P+. Nothing 98% of people are likely to benefit, or suffer, from. While I am also in the camp of wanting the 20's on the P+, it does make sense how they are having this trim mirror the Model 3 Performance in terms of upgrade specs (summer...

    Funny rating above? Don't get it. This is an actual picture from Fremont as far as I'm aware. First of it's kind I've seen for the 21's (and spoiler) alongside the blue and red paint. Yeah it looks strange as-is, but that's not the point here.

    Model Y wheel options

    If it's in the budget for you and you live in a cold weather region, having the Uberturbine for warm and Induction for Oct-Mar may be the way to go. Best of both worlds. Assuming the Inductions fit over the Performance brakes, that's my plan.

    YP not having track mode

    There's a lot of speculation about this (and frankly hope this is the case). Does anyone know or have anything cited from Tesla that the P models will be rolling off the line first? It seems logical based off of the 3 rollout, also that the P model is the first with CARB/EPA done (if I...

    Is the “Performance” Version Really Worth the Cost?

    Just because the usually exceptionally high costs associated with ICE performance variants correlated to higher mechanical costs and more parts, to me doesn't mean that necessarily 'justifies' the higher cost. To me it just means that technology takes a hell of a lot more matter to achieve...

    Model Y wheel options

    My view here is certainly subjective, but hitting a pothole or similar hard enough, probably not going to matter much between any of these wheels.

    Battery Range MYLR vs. MYP

    I was vaguely aware of the drive unit change on the M3P last year, this analysis seems to make a lot of sense if it holds true for the new MYP as well. Also didn't look close enough or put 2 and 2 together in that the MYP is the only Y thus far that has the official EPA rating, not just an...

    Battery Range MYLR vs. MYP

    I *think* that's all due to the wheel spec 21" (and wider in rear) vs. 19", but that's what I was hoping to flush out here. Thanks
