as an added follow up to all this i can say loading the rear more than a hundred # or so will cause the rear suspension to sag and will create a negative camber. If you really load it down back there you will be sitting on the insides of the tires which will wear them quickly. It also may...

just add milk crate partially cut to support the spare and ratchet strap it down. This is what everyone is doing. It pops rear floor at seam about1/4 " and is undetectable once a trunk floor liner is installed. Ive been driving around like that for a year, and ill never need that spare now that...

Can we please now get back to the OP good intention and discuss how best to mount a spare in the frunk ? Im an engineer and work with a CNC machine shop building aircraft parts for giant companies like Delta all day long, we could EASILY design a bolt in bracket to the front trunk structure to...

Ive got the magbak charger for my 2020 Y and used to love it. Now its fallen off, prob due to the 1g acceleration lol is there some replacement precut 3M VHB or some super strong adhesive ? I could JB weld this thing to the screen back but would rather not destroy that ... i did like the non...

id get the tow hitch, its really nice and you add a ton of utility (albeit short range) get tesla to install or DIY, thats a toss up. At $1K I would prob have tesla do it. At $1.3K idk ... if you are remotely handy the install is pretty easy 2 hours max. I wont say its fun but hey if you can...

ive got a modern spare in trunk fully inflated, i just took out the bin and added a milk crate to support the back end of the spare. it all fits fine and doesnt bump the rear floor up more than about 1/4" or so at the joint in middle. No biggie, and ive got a trunk liner anyway that conceals it...

just use this, its $63 https://ingenext.ca/collections/accessories/products/tesla-model-y-trailer-harness-4-pin

Yeah true but .. If we give up then tesla won’t fix it.. I’ll just keep calling it’s not a big deal. They have a mobile tech come out and I work at home so he just comes in My 4th is holding tho, now I just jinxed it

I havent read this whole post but someone posted a 160 lbs max weight limit on the hitch receiver ? That is idiotic. Was that for the Tesla bike rack itself, that it can only hold 160# ? Or were you trying to say the hitch receiver itself (made out of 1/2" thick cold rolled, bolted into the...

Im on #4 but this time it has stuck (for the past 2 weeks !!!!! ) which is alot longer than each other time....really stupid for tesla to slam their d!ck in the car door on something so simple. just looks bad for them

Tesla deletes the crash bar too when installing their hitch so it’s obviously not needed I did drawtite (uhaul is same just rebranded and $100 more) and the plug play harness kit was $300 took a few hours to install myself. Why would you want tow mode software it disables AP towing ? I do live...

Bump

exactly my thoughts as well. I live in north atlanta, which is probably the wealthiest area in the south with tire stores everywhere. It took 5 hours to get a tow to my house and another 3 days to actually get repl tire/ As I was being towed on flatbed home for 20 minutes the driver got 3...

I have - with a mtn bike and also with a dirtbike. Big range hit, especially with hwy speeds. Airflow over the back of the car is critical to drag at hwy speeds

You can fit modern spare in Y under rear floor of trunk. You need to remove the tub then support back half of tire on a milk crate. Floor sits flush. You can also strap the tire down so it won’t go flying around in a crash. I’ll show pics once my spare gets here Btw using that hitch rack...

I noticed that when I jacked up the left rear.. left front came up about half as much. Car must be back heavy ? Anyways I just used 2 floor jacks one on each side and took the wheels to the tire shop. I thought about using jack stans on rear while jacking front but my jack stands aren’t...

I’ve got those pucks they are 100% Needed.. just trying to figure out how to lift rear with 1 jack .. both rear need repl. I found a seller with 90% used rear pzero for $105 each cant beat it

Saw those, they look sweet! Pricey tho.. I doubt I’ll ever lift this vehicle again so hate to invest in a one time use item like that. I guess I could use 2 jacks but I hate leaving a jack bearing weight for long

Read that, just says to use a lift, I don’t have that in my garage. Input from anyone else that works on their vehicle in their garage ?

Would be insane to strap a tire to the roof and kill aero efficiency when there’s a Grand Canyon worth of wasted space in the frunk .. And yes I hope we stay on topic here, too. The car needs an onboard spare. Plain and simple.

Yeah consideration will have to be given to that .. I can use a high strength steel to mount the tire if there are some mounting points on the frame rails… if anyone has a sketch or some plans let me know, I’ll have one machined. My spare is being delivered mid may

I’ll figure out a way to put it in front trunk Hey does anyone know how to put jack stands under rear ? I need to remove both rear tires and have the pucks and 1 jack and bunch of normal jack stands.. can I put a jack stand under the rear suspension ?

anything more with this thread ? I run a machine shop, can design bracket to hold a spare .. had sidewall blow out last nite, 17k miles on the car and that was a sh!t show to deal with. had to flat bed home, took hours, and now waiting on a new tire which could take a week. running around...

No the tire slime wouldnt of worked .. 3" rip in sidewall. Sucks the modern spare isnt able to be stored, and not having it in car at ALL times is a major liability. Case in point last night - totally missed my kids sr prom pics as dealing with flatbed back to my house took 5 hours when i...

no loaner wheel. $500 for them to replace just 1 rear tire with Pzero, lead time unknown ... sucks. just looking to repl both rear at this point regarding the spare - are there any that fit into the trunk or frunk ? or would it need to just be on the floor ?

ok good suggestion, i just requested loaner wheel from roadside... they did give me a tow last night so i took it home and now sitting in garage ... i will ask if they can provide a loaner wheel. not going to buy smaller rims im keeping 21s so just looking for good suggestions for replacement...

ok thanks so dont worry much about the foam ? tire rack out of the pilot sports but may be some locally fs used. wish discount tire were open today i need this car up and running tomorrow morning but likely not happening

Hey all Im sure this has been discussed but in a bind here... had a flat last nite on my 2020 MYP rear left, 275/35/21 Pzero. What are my options here ? I would like to get tires that last longer. Do I need to focus only on tesla special foam version tires or can I just anything in that size...

Good scrabble word.. no I read the post, but I want to stash a keycard somewhere as I don’t like hoping my cell phone will work

I’m interested too. I like to keep my Tesla super clean and using the shop vac is a pain, but it’s very powerful. I wonder if there’s a good cordless I can stash in the trunk like this … if u don’t think it’s a relevant question then move on and troll a different thread

Um so if I drop my phone in the lake or it just dies on batteries which happens roughly once every 2 weeks, I’m supposed to do what ? Hope someone’s at the boat ramp who feels like letting me use their cell phone to call someone to install a app to unlock my car .. lol. That’s ridiculous. Tape...

My 20 myp now gets 258 on 100% .. it has 14k miles. Not sure if Rivian will get 316 but if it does it’s much better. Range is a key factor. Honestly I would just wait a few years. The f150 looks promising, let them work out the bugs and make More chargers. There’s no reason to jump in right...

Yeah no issues here with my AO puddle lights either.. been 6 months or so. I will swap them back if I need to tho !

MYP 2020, 234 miles range 90%, Maybe 261 at 100%. Tesla said its normal, they ran a remote diagnostic no issues. Go pound sand. Their range is bs. Count on 200 miles and 150 in winter cold. This is why EVs have such a long way to go before they can be accepted. They all bs the range. I...

Yea these would fit a model Y also. Same speakers If anyone needs, I have a oem 6 months old oem Tesla set I took out of my 2020 Y performance when I put in my light harmonics. $250 shipped with USA complete set perfect condition email me Paul at Gruvenparts dot com

Dam mind is a model Y sorry guys .. let me know if you want model Y perf version

Yep no brainer. Love the full plug play.. i spliced a lead into the 12v plug in trunk and that took an extra 5 min. Rest was all plug and play. But I hate cutting into factory harness and this is half the price ! Win win.. unless Tesla does something dicky and disables that rear tow harness...

You are absolutely blind if you think that Tesla is putting out build quality on par with other makes costing this much. You are paying for battery tech / supercharger network. Within a few years you will be overpaying at these prices once we get some better competition. Tesla is in full...

You paid for that feature but you didn’t get it. I guess you aren’t too demanding of a consumer. No safety feature is essential , until it’s needed. I drive the car in multiple tight parking lots daily so please stop telling me I don’t need the feature. The camera system is inadequate to...

Hey Ill sell mine off my 2020 MYP. Its been replaced by Tesla twice now so this 1 is new. I was thinking of going with a slightly bigger one aftermarket. Id have to peel it off so there would prob be some residue from the double tape but email if you want it. Ill do $270 and ship it free...

....

same. its way higher than i thought. The aero behind the car is very important and putting a bike back there really impacts it. Cant imagine how bad sticking it on the roof would be though. As always, the aero stuff gets far worse over about 40 mph so it would depend on your speeds. That...

? You would use it in the scenario that you wanted to install your own trailer hitch/harness and save a boatload of $. That is super nice ! So it plugs right into the existing tesla harness for the trailer hitch ? $63 ? I paid $100 for the Tekonsha version -...

Prob close to 100 lbs. you don’t need to keep worrying about tongue weight discussion. I’ve put my kx250f on it hanging 3’ off the back using a 120 lb dual mx rack. The bike weighs 250#. There was zero issue. Also jumped my 190 # lard ass on the rack at the same time just to see how far...

How bout anyone that would install coil overs and align it? I’m thinking of some MPP coils and 1” drop to lose the unsightly fender gap and also get some range back

Anyone need this stuff ?

Yeah I’m pretty sure U lose AP once u plug into the wire harness. But for just a bike rack or cargo rack that doesn’t require plug in then it wouldn’t disable AP

Yeah and I think you can get smaller wheels with bigger sidewalls to keep similar rolling diameter. It doesn’t look as good imo but fender gap should be same added benefit you can shave 10-15 lbs of rotating mass per wheel, then gain range and performance by dropping down on wheel size and...

Hmm really ? I’ve seen a few performance with the smaller wheels and it accented the fender gap issue .. maybe it was just the proportions of tire/rim. If anything it needs 22-23” Rims or lowered 1”

You can easily touch up the scrapes - light sanding with fine paper and there is a spray paint that supposedly matches it perfect. Anyone know what the paint is ? I need it also. The rims stick out past the tire which makes them easy to rash. I love the look of the 21s. Whole pt of the...
