Finally! Great spot

So you’re comparing an expensive Apex *forged* rims to one of the cheaper TSportlines *flow formed* rims? How does that make any sense? That’s an apples to oranges comparison, especially when TSportline literally makes forged wheels. Any forged rim is going to be lighter than a flow formed rim...

USA, but that really wasn’t my point. Buy whatever wheels you want, but Apex wheels aren’t “better” and Tsportline wheels aren’t heavy.

I stick with Tesla OEM tire and rim sizes for any aftermarket 19” (or 18”) choices personally. In theory, any 18” or 19” rims will be more efficient than the stock 20” rims, assuming you put a good set of efficient tires on there. However, wheels that look more like an aero wheel will be most...

They aren’t heavy. They sell 20” rims that are under 20 lbs each. Plenty of options to choose from. To characterize them as heavy is just objectively incorrect. Theres also nothing special about Apex rims either. They wait until they have enough orders and then ship a big crate of them from...

They fit. Feel free to call them yourself. They have videos of their 18” wheels on their Instagram page on the new M3P also. Like I said before, you have to add the wheels with the Hankook tires to the cart. Coupon codes IONFS and ION10. This is all on their website also.

How do I know what will fit? The rims? All of Tsportline's rims, regardless of size, fit all Model 3 trims. They tested the old M3P and confirmed for the new M3P there is no change - all rims fit. I have the Hankook EVO's on my 2021 M3 LR and have had no issues. Tsportline is running a...

They ship them to your house. You can buy just the rims and take them to your local tire shop for tires if you want. I bought mine fully assembled with tires and TPMS already - just plug and play. It's very easy to swap wheels. I do it in my driveway all the time and tire rotations, etc.

I went 19" bc I feel like they will look much better in the M3P wheel wells than 18" rims e.g. they won't fill them out enough. Plus 18" will lower the ride height too much for my liking also. I switched to 19" rims on my current 2021 M3LR and didn't notice a difference in ride quality or...

Plug for @TSportline. Bought a set of 19" TSS wheels (satin black) with the Hankook ION EVO AS tires. I've been debating for ~2 months now before pulling the trigger...just too good of a deal to pass up. Stackable promotions going on right now: 10% off = $319.50 Free shipping = $192.61...

LFP prismatic

You should look into a hybrid ("heat pump") water heater. It will use the least amount of electricity of any type to heat water. Mine is linked below, averages around 2-3 kWh a day. Just 2 of us in the house for reference...

I’m guessing still 6 months or a year away

Yes, there is a thread since December on that: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/new-tesla-service-center-columbia-sc.318184/

Should be open soon. Plenty of job postings online for this location.

@OCR1 just curious if were you provided this at time of sale? Per IRS:

Yeah fair enough. Most buyers don't have a clue any of this exists or can even tell you what NCA or LFP means lol.

But not if you lease, right? Bc Tesla will apply the tax credit to the lease payments? So you couldn’t “trick” Tesla then

Precisely. He just reads the forums or people DM him stuff from the forums. He blocked me awhile ago for calling him out about other stuff anyways lol. #soft

You don't have to convince me; we agree on all the same points. But there are a lot of people in this world who objectively don't agree with us and their points are still valid, despite whatever logical reasoning we may have in retort. (I should point out my wife's phone is literally always...

For sure it's not a problem for me or you. 99% of my driving is within 100 mile radius of my house. But we are early adopters. My wife hates stopping to charge and doesn't want to take it on trips. She drives a Lexus GX so we always take her car. For example, her parents lake house is 4.5...

Agree 100%. Seems like they (Tesla) think the charging speeds are good enough currently, which they’re not for most “regular” people, if you want to transition the world to sustainable energy. Higher voltage packs would instantly increase charging speeds. On the flip side they also think bigger...

Nominal higher voltage pack also makes a difference (wondering when we will see Tesla increase pack voltage across the board)

Personal opinion, but I don’t think Sawyer knows anything other than what he reads on the forums and reddits himself. This thread, thanks to many involved, had the information before he did. A bit too ironic for me

2024 Performance charging in the video below. At the 21:21 mark it briefly says 258 kW at 26% SOC, but then says 253 and 251 kW and then falls a bit. Falls to around 190 kW at 33%, 175 kW at 36%. 139 kW at 45% seems very good. If I remember correctly, I'm usually at just north of 100 kW at...

Yes, August 2021 build date. Confirmed via part number through wheel well, see our posts in old thread tagged to post #2,244 below: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6059796/

My 2021 LR with Panasonic 2170L pack doesn't taper until 25-30%...250 kW until then when on a V3/V4 supercharger. Old pic below but at 22% there

Hmmm…so now maybe some inventory Model Ys with LG packs?!? Thus ineligible

Did you check the model year? Tesla still has 2023 Ys in inventory for sale. I’m not as familiar with the Model Y’s bc they’ve changed so many trim options over the past year. They had a 4680 Y at one point and an LFP Y at one point too. Now they are all the same Panasonic 2170 cells from Nevada...

Not a screen. A “dealership” spec sheet/delivery sheet

My friend, you joined this forum on Monday. Some of us have been here awhile and know what we are talking about. We don’t need a Monroney sticker to tell us what we already knew. There’s no need to “enter into a discussion” when others are just flat out wrong and uninformed, no matter how...

Further confirmation in the photo below. Should I tag the naysayers from the early parts of this thread who have disappeared or would that be too petty? I mean I did tell them to check back in…🤣

They fit. Check plenty of threads on here about it

Welcome to the forums, but this is simply untrue. The battery is sourced from Giga Nevada, same as all Model Y trims and the M3P trim. Panasonic NCA 2170L cells

I’m pretty certain the newer V2 Tesla 19” sport wheels do fit over the lip

Truer words were never spoken. I do feel sorry for those that bought with the LG pack, it certainly sucks for them no doubt.

Been preaching this since page 1, despite some very loud naysayers who have disappeared from this thread now 😁

Yes, without a doubt. The "waiting room" threads on here show as much. It was an untenable situation for Tesla with the tax credit being only on the P. If you're buying the RWD you're likely a very price conscious consumer, so you're going with the cheapest model available.

Which makes sense bc it is a new color and they did not have many built already + it is in high demand.

Thank you What's your configuration and where are you located? Fair enough

I’m on the east coast for reference, but you can type in any zip code you want to check

Comparing to 2170C cells, right? I have 2170L cells in my 2021 M3 LR I’m pretty sure. And I don’t think they’ve changed from 2170L cells since 2021, correct?

Every single configuration of the Model Y says delivery in June right now, which only has 10 days left, including quicksilver paint. There are soooo many in inventory and sitting in lots across the country. This isn’t my opinion; it’s readily verifiable.

I’m sure you know this, but it is simply cell availability. The Model Y didn’t exist in 2018/2019. Tesla didn’t sell a lot of cars back then either. I don’t know if it’s “going backwards” as much as managing their supply chain. As I stated previously, Tesla miscalculated sales of the Model Y vs...

Which almost definitively rules out LG Korea cells. Shocking. /s

Yeah, it’s pretty obvious but some refuse to believe it and chalk it up to “Tesla hasn’t updated their website yet” lmao 😂 which obviously makes no sense bc Tesla clearly has updated their website to distinguish between the two Adding screenshots bc those links will be broken once someone...

There’s more misinformation in your post here, but it’s fine. I don’t have the energy to parse it out again. You’re dug in; I’m dug in. We will see who is right shortly and like I said, feel free to bookmark my posts and come back in a few weeks. This isn’t rocket science. It’s very clear they...

It’s not a theory. The M3 LR with the LG cells does not qualify for the $7,500 personal tax credit. Tesla tells us this themselves with all the LR cars in inventory on their website, where it literally says it does not qualify. Why you and others on here refuse to believe it is mind blowing...
