Here's the update. After breaking the new Sailun tires in with 2000 miles on them, I measured the electric usage over a 52 mile freeway run that I made going and coming to average out the effect from any wind. The car had 265/45 tires on the front, and 275/45 tires on the back as recommended by...

I bought new Sailun EV tires for my 2022 MX last December 2023. After one week, I got them aligned. I've made two trips. My stock Continental tires used about 285 WH/mi. I usually drive about 65 mph. On a 400 mile trip with the Sailun EV tires, the electric consumption increased to 315 WH/mi. On...

I have the MXLR and my wife has the MYLR. She only drives about 4000-5000 mi/year so we'll both be past driving age before she wears out her first set of tires.

Thanks for your advice. I just returned from getting the alignment, and they found that it was way off. Afterward, it drove quietly at all speeds on side roads and on the freeway. Sadly, they increased their alignment price from $90 to $200, explaining that they have found Tesla alignments to...

Yes! When I rub with the direction of tire rotation, no choppiness, but when I rub against the direction of tire rotation there is a very slight but tangible choppiness on the inner tread. My apologies for my multiple replies.

I thought I replied to this but since I don't see it posted, I'll try again. I bought the rear tires almost a week before front tires because the installer didn't have the front tires in stock. The rear tires rode silent. When I got the new front tires a week later, I noticed some road noise...

I got the rear tires on a Friday and noticed no noise, but they didn't have the front tires in stock until the following Tuesday,. I noticed a slight noise even as I drove home from the tire store after getting the new front tires. The noise is present but not horrible at slower speeds in town...

Do NOT buy the Sailun 265/45R20 erange EV tires for the front of your Tesla Model X. Mine is a 2022 model X. The tires are fine for city driving but on the highway it sounds like a jet engine under each front wheel well. These tires do NOT have any sound insulation in them, so they are extremely...

Thanks for the advice. I just ordered a used front rim for the MX. I hate to carry such a bulky spare on trips, but it seems to be my cheapest option. That picture brings back lots of great memories. I used to fish off the dock by the ferry when I was a kid.

Hi Donny. Glad to see someone who even knows that a place called Mukilteo exists. I grew up there. Anyway, I have a 2022 MYLR and a 2022 MXLR. I'd like to get a spare tire for each but don't want to brake the bank in the process. I have a spare front tire but no rim for the MXLR, but no spare...

I ordered the Mtsooning 10PCS Rear Bumper Tow Cover Clips from Amazon and they arrived today. They are slightly different than the Tesla clips. However, they are similar enough that I was easily able to use a sharp knife to whittle the ends of the clips to look similar to the Tesla clips. They...

I noticed that Amazon has similar clips, "Mtsooning 10PCS Rear Bumper Tow Cover Clips." that are used for a land rover. The picture looks like they might fit my 2022 MX. Does anyone know if these will fit OK?

OK--I finally towed the boat again after making several changes. First, I aligned the front end of the MX which dropped my usage to 285 Wh/mi. Next, I increased the tire pressure in the boat trailer to 40 psi. Third, I slowed my towing speed down to 60 mph. The result--the electric usage dropped...

The range on my 2022 MX was rather crappy until I got an alignment last week. It's now at 285 to 290 wh/mi. The alignment made a huge difference.

I did an alignment last week at Big O for my 2022 MX that I received in April. The right front tire was WAY out of alignment. After the alignment, I saw about a 15% improvement in efficiency so it was definitely worth the time and trouble.

I had the tires on my MX rotated and wheels aligned yesterday. Yes, the right front wheel was way off of alignment. I also drove 20 miles down the road to the only charging station along the route to my fishing spots. It turns out to output only 3.5 KW. I call these a "CINO"--a Charger In Name...

The trailer has low pressure tires but that's almost unavoidable--When inflated beyond 35lbs, it bounces all over the road like a ping pong ball on porcelain floor tile.

Oh Yes! I definitely want to turn tow mode off!

Great ideas! My take-homes are: 1. Make sure cabin overheat is off. 2. Get an alignment. 3. Fold down the center boat window when towing. 4. Keep towing speed between 55-60. 5. Check RV parks for 14-50 outlets near destinations. The great aspect is that none of these cost anything except the...

interestingly, my MX still used up about 40 miles of battery charge while it sat in the parking lot while I went fishing for 6 hours last week, and sentry mode was turned off. I don't understand that. I will get the alignment checked--that's a good idea.

A destination charger isn't presently available anywhere near my destination, and it's the type of area where I'll probably not see another EV for another 20 years. There is a destination charger located about 20 miles from my home but I'd have to disconnect the boat/trailer to gain access to...

I bought a new 2022 refreshed MX with 20" wheels and will soon need to replace my first set of tires. Since I sometimes tow a 3500lb fishing boat/trailer, I assume that I need to keep 10" rear tires. I use about 800 Wh/mi while towing. I charge to the 100% limit before I go fishing, but my...

I purchased a 2022 Model X refresh with 20" wheels, delivered April 2022. I want to increase the range. Is there a lighter weight 19" wheel available that can fit the refresh, and if so, is it safe to use a 8.5" width wheel/tire on both front and back?

I have the same problem--I took delivery of my 2022 Model X 5 seater yesterday. I notice that MAXSpider lists some mats for the 2022 Model X but Amazon states that they do not fit the 2022 and some correspondence from the company also states that they don't fit the 2022. It's hard to believe...
