Not to derail the thread, but what’s wrong with the Maxxis? I have one but haven’t used it yet. The diameter looks fine propped up against the car. Maybe *slightly* smaller, like 1/4”. If it’s complaining about slip, disabling traction control should eliminate the unwanted braking, yeah? Both...

Did you ask for / did they perform an alignment? Usually when the wheel is pulling it’s just in need of an alignment. You can get an alignment at most tire shops if Tesla is doing a bad job. My service center did an OK job with mine — I didn’t have pull, but my steering wheel wasn’t centered.

I Googled for like an hour and can’t find the answer. What is the Model 3/Y battery pack undercarriage made of? You can find lots about the S (1/4” aluminum + titanium, etc.) but what about the 3/Y? Asking because I scraped bottom on a rock on a Forest Service dirt road and I’m now wondering...

Darn, definitely different parts. 1490247-00-A (Y) and 1076730-00-B (3). Thanks.

Does anybody know if the OEM Model 3 blades fit the Y? These: Model 3 Wiper Blades. They don't have Y blades up on their site, but a lot of blades on Amazon and such say they fit both the 3/Y. So I'm wondering if the 3/Y OEM blades are actually the same part. Thanks!

I asked Tesla about the suspension when I was last at the service center. They said there have been no suspension component revisions since the Y was released. (I have an early 2020 build.) This squares with the parts catalog which shows a single set of springs and dampers regardless of VIN. So...

Okay, I think I’m about ready to pull the trigger. Can anybody recommend a shop in Seattle greater area that does coliovers on Teslas? Preferably somebody that can hold my hand through the process because I’ve never modded a car before. I.e. I’ll probably rely on them to confirm the adjustable...

My methodology was pretty dumb. I used an iPhone app for accelerometer data. I placed the phone in the same place on the seat, under my butt. I exported it to CSV and into a spreadsheet. From there I calculated the resultant force of the 3D force measured by the accelerometer. (F =...

This is what I'm looking to get answered too. Lots of things I can spend money on. Lots of subjective experiences and personal preferences. The only constructive thing I can add is that I tried to measure the effect that PSI had and decided it wasn't measurable. I drove the same 30MPH arterial...

Good morning! 1.) For those that ordered MPP coilovers, how did you choose between them and the UPP product? 2.) A lot of people in these threads are performance-inclined. Like, you're looking to find a better local maxima of both handling and softness. I'm heavily biased towards comfort as...

Did you happen to take a picture of the connector? Can you describe how to take the panel off? I’d love to just fix this myself rather than waiting two weeks and round tripping to the service center.

I’ve had that issue, twice. The first time they “reset a computer” and kept it overnight to make sure it was still working. That lasted a couple months and now it just failed. It literally worked great yesterday. No idea what changed. I tried deep power cycling the whole car but it didn’t have...
