Just starting a petition here to PUT CANOPIES (solar would be best) over superchargers whenever they are placed in parking lots (ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH). It is too hot not to have some cover out there - and the charging would be more efficient if the cars weren’t pumping the A/C to keep their...

I’m with you. It’s not an unusually large flag. Just usually new. And the GSA tags are a tip

Y’all, anyone know what kind of “business” now occupied the formerly empty strip mall? I would posit US Gov and a bit secretive. Anyone have insight? Connecting some dots. 1. Big, oddly new US flag 2. Several gov GsA plated trucks 3. I tried to use garbage can and was ushered away by...

As described. NOLA based but willing to come pick up. Also willing to trade 4 20” inductions

First, do you have TPMS? If so: will discuss trade of 5 (yes 5!) 20” inductions, four CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT SPORT XL tires (5k miles), two rims have mild rash at rim edge (have pics to share). Yes wild trade. Streets here too intense for 20”. How do I get them to you? And yours to mine...

Definitely a blow out (immediate deflation at speed) and no idea what caused it. They sort of just waved it off and gave me a new tire. Good Reddit thread on this foam issue which seems to be widespread

Well this finally got me a comped tire. Vibration gone. Also about half a day of ubering and road side assistance and Tesla service working late and almost blaming me (“are you sure you didn’t hit something…”). But finally, new tire. No vibration. Onward.

Y’all. So they confirm it’s the foam. The pull the foam out of the tire. They say it’s good now. I drive away. The tire completely blows out.

Good deal. Will report back.

Took a ride with the service manager. Agreed on shudder and possible linkage to foam detach. Friday they’ll break down the tires and see if we can fix. I assume yours was covered under tire warranty (seems like a defect, right?)

100% in on higher speed limits. My WH/MI might suffer, but the grins are worth it.

Yup, same tire. I believe this is true of all MYLR from ‘21 (although I have seen some other tires on a few, so I’m curious if all have the Goodyears or not). But that’s a good theory, especially because I concur it’s like an unbalanced washing machine - something tumbling inside that causing a...

I like this idea as well. I’ll ask them. I assume these tires (Goodyear OEM) have some sort of sound deadening foam inside?

Yes, I agree. I have three original tires and one that was replaced @ around 5k miles (due to a bolt I picked up from a construction site). But I can’t believe that much wear difference could have just cropped up in like 72 hours. Prior to Tues of this week, it was a non-issue. Tesla service...

Update: Nope, not it. Balance and rotated tires ($200) but still a 80mph+ shudder. Tech reported one tire severely out of balance. But balancing did not totally resolve. Diving back in for another service appointment.

Thursday’s my day so I’ll report back. New Orleans service center is usually pretty on point but I’ll request all the services suggested. I noticed the wheel balance weights are all different sizes on my inductions, so I can’t be sure which one (or ones) I lost. As an attorney, I cannot...

Yes, now this is why this forum rocks. That sounds possible (especially since it cropped up after I whipped the tires a bit). To note, I was in TRAFFIC at 90+ and I needed to pass, and well, the only way to pass is to dig in deeper on that right foot. Had a lot more running room at 110 but...

Hey y’all, I think I’m asking a near-rhetorical question, but figured I’d probe the hive mind. I have a LR AWD 73xxx VIN (11/20 delivery, September build) that’s been relatively problem-free. I’ve got about 7,400 miles on the Odometer. Recently, at speeds of 90mph+ (yes, I know, don‘t drive...
