    275/40/20 & 255/40/20 Most closely matches the factory sizes in terms if tread width and overall tire diameter.

    WTB Model Y Spacers

    Looking for Model Y spacers for my 2022 MYP. I'm trying to gather some up to try various builds, so I'm interested in anything from 5-20mm, depending on price and make. Thanks!

    Martian wheel photo thread

    20x8.5 front, 20x9.5 rear. Will post an update when UPP mild springs and spacers (10 and 15 or 15 and 18) are installed.

    20" MW03 install on my MYP - review

    Absolutely. Thinking about taking her to the local drag strip. Question - did you install any spacers? A local Tesla shop is going to be installing my UPP mild springs soon and I'm thinking about installing spacers at the same time. My plan is 15mm for the front, 15mm for the rear... that or...

    20" MW03 install on my MYP - review

    Will do. I emailed the folks at Martian Wheels directly. They've been very responsive in the past. Unfortunately I think they are going to be 'defensive' in their recommendation for what is safe in terms of spacers, it's the likely business move to avoid any kind of liability (though I hope...

    20" MW03 install on my MYP - review

    Looks like the wrap is tighter than I recall - makes me wish I went with an even wider tire! The tuck is less than I was expecting, so, a 10mm spacer may be enough, especially after its lowered some. I'll need to do some more thinking on the it. Well... looks like I have a weekend project.

    20" MW03 install on my MYP - review

    Yup, will take the pic soon. I do think the face is actually a hair closer to centerline, but not tires. After thinking about that, I'm tempted to get 10mm or 15mm spacers myself to make it even more aggressive.... lol. I'll grab a pic regardless though - if nothing else, maybe a before and...

    20" MW03 install on my MYP - review

    Nope, looks even more aggressive imo. I'll take a picture down the side, that shows more accurately the bulge. The actual diameter however is the exact same. A few things to keep in mind with the width. 1) both wheels are running 275 width tires, so the width is technically the same in terms of...

    20" MW03 install on my MYP - review

    Wheels are indeed the satin black - I was torn between them and the gunmetal, but I'm very happy with my final choice. As for the caps - yes, I'm fairly certain you can use the Tesla caps if you so prefer. I have a pair of satin black ones with a subdued Tesla logo... I like it more than the...

    20" MW03 install on my MYP - review

    I've had my MYP for a month now, the first 550 miles or so with the factory 21" AS4s, the last 400 with 20" Martian MW03s and staggered AS4s. I thought I'd give my take on how they compare thus far. Factory wheels/tires - handles pretty darn well... on very well prepared roads. You can feel...

    Wiki Super Heavy/Starship - General Development Discussion

    Last I read the orbital/sub-orbital nature of the first scheduled test was debatable. It was never going to orbit, but I do think it was going to attain an orbital altitude and orbital speed, but then reenter shortly thereafter.

    To be fair, stacking SLS should also include the boosters... or at least that's how I see it. I know the boosters aren't stakes, so I'll understand if you disagree, but I would count them if were just trying to compare the difference between how long it takes to go from hardware on site to fhlly...

    Need assistance/advice - ordered carbon fiber trim from Teslarati that has defects... vendor won't respond.

    Cool beans. Like I said, I otherwise liked the product, the weave itself/material is very well done. That said, they really should get back sooner and have a phone number that you can call (that actually goes through). I still have yet to hear anything and I sent my first contact mail on...

    Resale values plummeted

    Inflation being what it is likely to be ' 4-7%', $2500-5000 is almost baked in.... nm the massive shortage specific the auto (and EV in particular) industry.

    Resale values plummeted

    I also don't expect used to drop anymore. In fact I suspect they may go up by 1k or so. The wait time for a MYLR is absurd now if you opt to forgoe FSD. MYP is much better... but you need to pay a delivery fee of over $1k... so that's effectively $69k. Plenty of people would pay a healthy bit...

    Need assistance/advice - ordered carbon fiber trim from Teslarati that has defects... vendor won't respond.

    Subject line says it all. I ordered a ton of carbon fiber trim (among other things) for my MYP from Teslarati and installed most of it. Unfortunately, the center console door cover is molded such that it is slightly deformed, preventing it from sitting flat (not only warped, but the bump that...

    Recommended front end ppf for the Model Y?

    I've just purchased the rear wheel ppf sold by Tesla, but now I'm thinking that some front end ppf will be a good idea as well, at least partial. Any recommendations out there? I'm thinking about doing it myself.... so I wouldn't mind some feedback on that as well. I looked at the previous ppf...

    PSA: MY price increases by $1K

    The MYP is absolutely worth it when you compare it go other performance vehicles, especially when you take into account dealer markup. The LR... not so much imo

    That's great actually - taking delivery of my MYP tomorrow, I'll get to keep her longer than expected!

    Rivian price increased massively - $15,500. Cancelled, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    On the plus side, it sounds like this massive price increase has led to many reservation holders nixing their orders, despite the fact that they reversed the hike for current orders. Looks like some of us will be getting ours even sooner now lol.

    Well that's silly. Mine went up by 15,500... they offered to reinstate it, hell yes I accepted. In the end I'm better off for it imo. Instant and considerable equity upon delivery.

    Rivian price increased massively - $15,500. Cancelled, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    Indeed, but it may be worth it just to keep up production and get more vehicles on the road. They're sitting on billions and billions ($10ish?) of funds from their IPO. Honoring existing prices will cost them $400-600 million imo.

    Anyone revieved a follow-up email from Rivian yet? Kind of doubting they'll honor the latest offer of reinstating orders at the original price.

    Rivian price increased massively - $15,500. Cancelled, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    I'm sure they'll stop selling reservations. It makes zero sense to me that they won't. The only scenario under which I would see that being an issue is if they had a non-refundable reservation fee that initially permitted transfers - at that point you need to either permit them or return the...

    Already cancelled, but will be taking them up on their offer to 'cancel my cancellation'. Good on them. I was expecting something, but more along the lines of keeping the same price and getting dual motor instead of quad. I'm not so sure I would have kept my order even then, but I will...

    Rivian price increased massively - $15,500. Cancelled, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    Bare minimum it will go up $14,500, unless you go with massively less capable vehicle than you originally booked. If you are willing to go with the bottom model, dual motor instead of quad, AND 260 mile range instead of 316... you can get it starting at $72,500 lol

    Rivian price increased massively - $15,500. Cancelled, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    I've got to disagree with you on the affordability. $20k is a lot of money. I don't make a ton compared to some people here, household is around $200k. But, seeing as I'm buying a new home soon, that extra $20k is a lot to me, especially over a 5 year loan. I'm dropping $30k down. That means my...

    No joke, Tesla's dominance and profit margins are so great that I had someone telling me they need to be broke into different companies.... that their market dominance was just too great. Obviously BS and someone that knows jack about the EV world, companies or business/economy.... but it was a...

    Rivian price increased massively - $15,500. Cancelled, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    So you're figuring in a $7,500 tax credit? The revised packages put a cap at $80,000 for SUVs. If this passes, you won't get jack crap if you buy a R1S with the quad motor, or even the adventurer trim with bigger battery and optional paint.

    Rivian price increased massively - $15,500. Cancelled, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    That markup reflects the supply/demand, not inflation. If it were a materials and inflation issue it would be reflected in the msrp. At worse there would be some lag. That isn't the case though - yes there is an increase in msrp, but what you are talking about is at the dealer. You can argue...

    Rivian price increased massively - $15,500. Cancelled, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    They should have increased it gradually. You don't screw over people who have actually budgeted and been planning to get a vehicle. I understand adjusting for the market and resources, but *sugar* did not increase over night. They could have worked this in a long, long time ago.

    Rivian price increased massively - $15,500. Cancelled, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    Also, some people actually plan ahead. I purchased a MYP, got a Freemont car because I thought I'd only be keeping it for 18-24mo. I had expected to get a R1S when it was available. Now I have a Freemont car I'll likely be keeping for much, much longer. Probably going to now order a second MYP...

    Like I said, that's not the point. That's on them, it was an absolute bargain at what it was..... but that was its draw. Now its competing with actual establish luxury manufactures.

    Rivian price increased massively - $15,500. Cancelled, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    A 20% increase in price is an insane increase. Have I priced anything lately? Yes, we all have. However, I don't know of any vehicle that I've ordered, waited months for, only to have the price increased by 20%. That's absurd. Like I said, I cancelled. My guess is they are screwed. They make a...

    Thoughts on Rivian's price increase. Got an email today that said 'prices have been updated on your preorder', or something like that. My R1S preorder went from $71,500 to $87,000. How insane is that???? Cancelled. I have no doubt this is going wipe out over half of their preorders... possibly...

    Indeed. Unfortunately this guys profile is brand new (today) and all 5 of his posts are him spreading this one image/statement. Also, this is pretty easy to fake since its just a picture of the source code. It'd be cool if it was legit, but I'm just not convinced based on what the SA told me.

    Tweeted if its real. I'm not suggesting its not possible, Tesla may have an imperfect system, but a very helpful and interested SA at my local showroom checked this VIN out and said he couldn't find it. Maybe since its a temporary match its not in their system yet? I don't know, but I won't...
