I am so surprised that there's no option to customize the tire / wheel size options so the speedometer/odometer is correct. It's easy peasy I would think for a tech company to have this as an option. I ask because many of us do go aftermarket tire/wheel size. I know it's not a big deal to be...

Well, I partitioned the drive as directed. Of the 1TB drive, I did 700gb for music and 64gb for TeslaCam. The music folder works but the TeslaCam didn't. I even let the car format the drive and that didn't work either. Both drives were exFat formatted as directed. What a frustrating...

Thanks! I'll give it a shot on my 500gb drive and report back.

Is this still something that can be done? If so, how? I just hate to have multiple drives connected if unnecessary.

Yes, that is stupid!

Maybe it is now, but it wasn't before.

I think Tesla must have changed something in the software for it as I used to have the 500gb drive with a folder for Music and Teslacam. They both worked. Now it only recognizes the Teslacam folder as a priority and ignores the Music folder. But I put the Teslacam folder on a separate drive...

Thanks for the detailed pictures and notes on the differences of the two tires. I am surprised about the webbing on one and not the other on the tread, but would be concern about that. I personally wouldn't put the one with part of the foam ripped off as it would change the balance of the tire...

Thanks for the note. I don't think it's a factory mistake, I think they just didn't care and didn't want to create another mold or whatever. I agree that the direction should be symmetrical for sure. I hope to find some universal covers that can go on any wheel, but it's a task that has come...

Not me, but I have heard some stories....where the aluminum plate held up as evident by dents and scratches.

That's what I did and it too a while to get done as one of the screw backs was loose so I had to cut the old cover off, just at that spot at the front for one screw. I was going to offer it for free to someone that might have rip theirs. Still works, but just need to stop or glue the 1 inch...

How does one safely jack/life the car up to install this? I have the front skid plate, but not sure how to safely get under and install the thing! Thoughts? Thank you!

I bought a front aluminum skid plate and was wondering how to safely jack up and lift the model 3 to get under it? Jack from the rear jack points and then use wood under the front jack points? Use a ramp, like Rhino ramps? Where else can one put jack stands safely under the model 3...

So, did you apply any of the Dynamat like material and was there any improvement to you in regards to sound and vibration?

Was wondering, I know many aren't as interested as I, but wondered if anyone has any ideas on how to get some covers on these wheels to help with range on long trips? These look great and are light, but with the open design, not great for efficiency, especially at high speed and long trips...

I see, makes sense. However, you'd think they fix it since it's a known issue.

Same issue for me and mine was a week out of warranty and they didn't honor it, made me pay for the repair. Seems like this is a common issue/defect and they should be replacing as part of a recall. IMO.

I echo the comments earlier as to how you get 260s wh/m? Seems impossible! I have 19s, AFF7s, that are less than 21lbs, dressed in 245/40 PS 4 AS and I have not gotten below 290 wh/m here in WA. The summers are nice and even then I wasn't getting 260 wh/m on average. That's not even close to...

That's too bad...Just changed mine around 40k, let's see how long that lasts.

Well, it's pretty obvious from these posts is that they are great tires. I love them, perfect 3 and almost four season tires! They do it all, except deep snow I guess. Range does take a little hit, but that's all! No hesitation for me to get them again!

Thanks for that! I am running 245/40/19 on my Aodhan AFF7s and over 12k miles, my wattage mile is around 280w/m. I think a lot of efficiency hit are on the wheels as they are quite open and very inefficient design, IMO, but I love the look. Really never cared about range unless on long long...

Nice ggr! I am so glad that this is the case! I still love my 2019 AWD M3 for sure!

Forbes Article, Well, I was hoping you are correct in that statement above, but according this Forbes' article back in 2019, though the heading is misleading, "Yes, Electric Cars Are Cleaner, Even When The Power Comes From Coal" here's a quick excerpt: "Under current conditions, driving an...

Let's not forget that EVs are only effective in climate change if they are powered by clean energy power. I am in WA State where 95% of the electricity is green and renewable. It makes sense here to drive and EV and feel like you are making a difference. On the other spectrum, if you are in...

Thanks WyoDude! I wanted something different than the reds, blues and yellows out there.

Painted Calipers!

RM2023, well besides tools to remove the wheels, you'll need the following: - Plastic garbage bag or plastic to cover everything but the brakes. I'd cut a slit about 7 inches or so and stretch it around the brakes to cover the disc and so forth. - Spray paint, 1 can will do. I used VHT engine...

I DIY and it turned out great. Most difficult thing was, because my car had 45k miles on it after 4+ years of driving in PNW weather, road grime and salt, etc., it was hard to clean it properly. But I love my results! Take pride in your work...

Still available?

Hi, are these the new or older version? DM'ed.

Deakwan, I did expect some reduction in efficiency but this is a lot. Most of the time, 90% of mt driving, it's not a big deal, but on long trips, it's like a good 30-40 miles of range each full charge, which is ia lot for a 2019 LR with about 300 miles at 100%!.

I can say this...NO! from my experience, going from stock 18" on my LR M3 with MXM4 tires to 19x8.5 AFF7s with PSAS4 245/40/19, I my range has taken a huge hit! Mainly at freeway speeds greater than 65 mph. I went from 264 wh/m lifetime, that's in the winter as well for a 33k miles to now about...

Thank you, great information!

Mine is 245/40R19 on 21lbs Aodhan AFF7 wheels and last year, between March and December, I got 292 wh/mi (adjusted for diameter difference). So, far this March, about a month and a half and over cool temps and rain, I am getting 308 wh/mi the lat 2000 miles.

Same problem for me. 44k miles, 4 years 14 days, out of warranty and it just happened, So, I guess, I have to pony up the repair. I've heard they replace both sides.... True?

Krobbler, that is really good! Surprised the my 19x8.5 (21lbs) Aodhan AFF7 with 245/40 PS4AS is getting very bad range so far since I reinstalled them in March. Averaging 313 wh/mi for about 1200 miles. Last year, with them on from March - Dec with about 8000 they averaged 272 wh/mi.

That sounds reasonable, I am at 98335, if that helps.

would you ship?

Would you sell just the wheels?

I ended up going with Aodhans AFF7s for my LR 3 and love it! Matte black, 19x8.5 +35.

FYI - Just put back the PS4AS (245/40/19) on Aodhan AFF7 back on the car. We'll see what it gets. Last year I had it on for a total of 7,239 miles. That was from March 26 - December 5, 2022. That's late winter to late fall driving here in the Seattle area. These miles were corrected for the...

If only you were closer!

Agreed, more tread = less efficiency...

That can't be right. I when from about 257 lifetime with the MXM4 and 18 areas without the covers to about 275 with the PSAS on 19"s, so, I think it must be the colder weather in January compared summer and winter driving, lifetime.

Thanks for this, but seems a bit more difficult, but I guess one can try and they end up ruining it, buy the new ones. Seems like installation is easy enough.

Hi All, I have a 2019 LR M3. Since the beginning, my side repeater cameras, when using for turn signal at night has the blinker light bleed into the camera lens/view, therefore it is basically useless as all you see is the blink of the turn signal. You can't discern if there are cars or not...

I tried the USB Switch, etc. Nothing works.. The same drive has worked for the past 3 years. Then all of the sudden, it doesn't. The drive is fine, works and I plug it into the computer and is FAT32. The car does see and recognizes it for sentry (teslacam) but not music. Strange.

I tried that. Well, this had happen before the latest software update. Just this week though. So, it was on the same version, before the update today. 2022.4.30 or so I think. I don't even have a choice to select USB or toggle. :(

Just bring this topic back on line....recently my 500gb external HD, which was functioning just fine in the Tesla no longer is recognized by the Tesla. Weird. It's fine if I hook it up to my computer, but for some reason, the Tesla now won't see it. There is no option to play usb music...

Range hit no, not really with the width difference...Perhaps the tread are not as efficient as the OEM Michelins. These are softer and griper in the cold as well. UPDATE, I've decided to keep these....
