Eskimo YoYo is the proud new owner of these slightly-used tires.

I have a set of 19" winter tires, but my question isn't about whether they'll fit on the car, just in it. I'm selling them and want to be able to stick them all in the back of my Model Y for delivery. I can see how three would fit pretty easily, with the rear seats folded down and two tires...

1. Yes, the 2020 and 2021 MY's use the same Bluetooth TPMS sensor. Check out Tesla Parts Catalog for confirmation, where they list only one option for the Model Y but multiple options for the Model 3. (The older Model 3 used a non-Bluetooth sensor, but the new one uses the same one as the Model...

They've dropped $100 at T-Sportline, so I'll match that by dropping to $3,300.

For the record, the replacement arrived and was easy to swap out because the part that's attached to the house didn't need swapping. All good now. And under warranty.

I'm not sure about the part number: would have to go outside to check. Yes, 18' is too short. It's fine if I back into the driveway, so my charging port faces the house. It's marginal if I go in head first; I have to make sure I'm all the way forward. The replacement is coming in on Friday, so...

In my case, the blue light turns on only after the pulsing green. This seems strange to me because, according to the manual, all of the WC faults should be different blinking red patterns. The blue is supposed to mean that the car's not ready to be charged. I wonder if maybe the WC sends...

Yes, I did flip the breaker, and I also did a full reboot of the car. Didn't help. Regular Tesla support bounced me to battery/charger support, which ignored my email, so I called and sat on hold for over an hour. Once I did get to a human, they diagnosed the problem quickly. The Wall...

Yeah, I'll do that in the morning. I rebooted the screen, but didn't do the thing with the full power-down.

I contacted Tesla about this, but I figured I should share. After the recent software update, my car refused to charge from the Gen 3 Wall Connector. It charges from the portable one, though. The failure mode is that it quickly switches from the pulsing green LED's to a static blue one...

I can answer half of that: here's the link. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DXY5KVX The other half, whether it worked, I can't say. That's because I ran into problems removing the previous one and gave up for now.

I'll send you a private message.

Looks like they're on sale now. So if someone wants my tires now, I'll drop my price to match. Once the sale ends, their price goes up and so does mine.

4x 19x9.5" Wheels 4x 255/45-19 Tires (Matte Black Pirelli Sottozero 3) 4x Tesla Factory Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor (TPMS) 4x T Sportline Wheel Center Caps Under 15 miles driven. This is the configuration with identical tires. They're small, so their sidewalls are tall enough to avoid...

Ok, double-correction. The kind of adapter I have is the kind that looks like your photo and it works but doesn't let you close the panel fully. The kind I linked to above is the kind that looks like it'll actually fit. In fact, I just ordered one so I can swap. HTH and sorry about the initial...

Bad news: the adapter I show above does not fit well. I can't close the panel fully. See below!

Ok, I got it working by turning off Sentry mode and disabling Bluetooth on my phone. The relay noise is actually quite loud. Haven't closed the panel yet because, by the time I got around to that part, it was dark and it wasn't obvious how to shove the cable out of the way to make room. Will...

Right. Although, of course, nothing really stops Tesla from integrating Alexa so that pressing the button on the steering wheel is the wake word for it. Having said that, Tesla's support for voice recognition is half-assed right now. It can understand the words just fine, but has very few...

It's for cars that don't necessarily have microphones, but you're probably right. In principle, there's no reason why the Tesla couldn't run an Alexa client natively. In principle.

Thanks, this is very helpful. It's gotta be due to having left Sentry Mode on. But I'll use the charger/LED trick to make sure.

I was looking for any existing threads on the topic, but I can't seem to find any, and I'm a bit nervous. I have this adapter and I was watching videos like this one and that one. The key step is making sure the car is completely off before unplugging the cable to insert the adapter, and I'm...

That's true, but my main motivation was to get some sidewall.

Can confirm that my June-built car does not have holes where the badges used to be.

I have the 21" summer tires and don't want winter tires that size, so I went for new rims. Got 19" ones, complete with tires and TPMS sensors.

That's fair. And if you already have all the tools and are used to doing it, it's no big deal.

Hmm. While I'm not exactly handy, I've certainly changed tires (back when cars had spares). I don't remember it as being much fun, though. Moreover, I did the research and it looks like I'd have to buy a bunch of tools that I'd only use twice a year. So, having more more money than time, I think...

I have half a mind to keep the 19" rims and swap in summer tires, selling off the Uberturbines. Like how they look and drive, but they've got no sidewall and I have to deal with some poorly maintained streets. I definitely didn't like the Tesla dealer's suggestion that I get 21" snow tires and...

Thanks for verifying that they'll fit. Eyeballing it, I thought they might, but it's good to hear. I could definitely save a bit of money going to a 3rd-party shop, but the ones I know of around here are kind of terrible. I'm not sure I even trust them to jack the car up, much less deal with...

Ok, I just ordered these: Tesla Model Y 19" TSS Flow Forged Tesla Wheel and Winter Tire Package - T Sportline - Tesla Model S, 3, X & Y Accessories My plan is to keep them in my basement until it gets a bit colder, then make an appointment with Tesla to have them mount the tires. (Tesla...

He's right. Driving an EV is a purer experience. No engine, no gears, no noise. Just you and the road. The Tesla grin is very real, and it's not just the wide one you get after testing out its acceleration. There's also the grin you have after a long drive that just doesn't feel that long...

My understanding is that, yes, they are. The summer tires aren't rated for temperatures below 40'C; they will not only have poor performance, but can even crack. Likewise, snow tires get soft above 40'C. Bottom line: All-weathers are meh in the summer and meh in the winter, but if you have...

You're not wrong: Tesla is really screwing the pooch here.

Tesla put on the mount for the rear license plate (initially putting the temporary plate in it) but while they gave me the mount for the front, they never offered to install it. I'm sure they would if I made a service call, but I'm holding off for now. I have the front plate in my trunk...

Yeah, I've seen complaints of glare from the white bar. I couldn't say either way. When I test-drove a white-interior Model Y, it was a cloudy day in March. Also, I wore glasses with polarized, auto-darkening lenses. On my own car, I've added a 70% tint to the windshield and 35% on the sides...

Two things, really, and one of them is mostly a humble-brag. I was sitting around in my Tesla dealership yesterday and look at the cars in the lot, many of which are customer cars. The overwhelming majority of the cars did not have a front license plate installed. Mine doesn't, either, even...

FWIW, I've got red and black, and I wasn't sure about that wood panel. I even priced out replacing it with black (or, even cheaper, wrapping it). But I gave it some time and it's kind of grown on me. YMMV, literally, but I'm pretty happy with the black interior. I know that white is more iconic...

That, and not needing to suck in air to feed an engine.

It's your call, but if Tesla can fix these problems and make the car as good as new, then returning it might be premature. I had a few issues with my car, but Tesla fixed them.

You say "fast enough", but I'm not sure that those words have any meaning in this context.

They'd have to be used, because I don't see where Tesla sells the Geminis separately from the MY itself. To be honest, I think I'd prefer 19" tires, especially for winter. It would be nice to have some sidewalls, no matter how sexy the 21" rubber bands look. But to get those now, I'd have to...

Writing this up in case anyone finds this interesting or useful. I had a slow leak in my front left tire. It wasn't that slow; took maybe a day or so to drop after I pumped it up to match my other tires. But it also didn't drop more than about 7 PSI before it stabilized. Tesla said it was a...

I asked my local Tesla dealer about this today. They admitted that they're not expecting to offer winter tires for the Model Y this year. Their suggestion was that I buy winter tires on my own and have Tesla install them. Note that this would mean swapping out my 21" Überturbines for another...

They wrapped it partially, and that's the problem. It looked ok on when it was first done, but the edges came up within days. If I understand correctly, they're going to wrap it all the way this time.

Yeah, I have a set.

I'm a bit disappointed with the towing hitch. When it's uncovered, it's really ugly. But covering and uncovering it is not only tedious but has some risk of damaging that plastic cover. You can buy a hitch light that makes it functional when uncovered, but it doesn't fill all the space around...

It's a red-tinted mirror. You can see me in the pictures. I did run into two problems, which the detailer acknowledged and will be fixing. First, the spoiler is a little loose on one side: needs more glue. Second, as with another MY they worked on, the side mirrors need a redo. They stand...

I totally get that. They're already updating the 3's with Y technology. Tesla doesn't do model years, as such, but I bet the next version of the S/X is going to be a big improvement for the same reason. And, of course, whatever they make in 5 years will put anything we have today to shame...

If someone gave me a free S or X, I'd sell it. I don't need a second car right now. :) Thing is, I could have bought any of these cars, but I chose the Y. It's not that I like whatever I have, but that I have what I like. I considered getting the S when it came out, but passed. I really liked...

Uhm, both cars have a mix of permanent magnet and induction, although I think they're reversed. My Y has the induction in the front. According to Engineering Explained, the single-motor 3 has just the permanent magnet and that's more efficient but less performant. The mix of the two is to get...
