Yes we had an incident where car was parked in a private gated car park. The night time walk in access was a gate, some drunkard decided to kick this gate full force and into the back of our car. Sentry mode was not on as thought it was secure. wont be making that mistake again! As previous...

Do you mean outside the minimum tyre width? The wheels are definitely narrower but the tyres fit fine. Wheel and Tyre package was supplied fully balanced and ready to go on the car by UK Company. Wheels are manufactured in 8J & 8.5J so like you was surprised when they came in 8J. Thought I...

Think rim protection is always going to be an issue with the Tesla wheels given how wide they are, it is 9J wheel I believe? I have fitted a set of 19inch aftermarket wheels with winter tyres that came in 8J width. Same tyre spec so 255/45/19 much less stretch on the tyre.

Yes l think your right not having a factory spec 18 inch wheel is a bit of oversight by Tesla but it is what it is. Just need to get some black caps for the wheel nuts just looks a bit off.

Yes, finding a set of model 3 18 inch wheels in decent enough condition was an issue, then finding the corresponding tyres was taking it close in price to the brand new set of 19inch wheels i now have. I am more than happy with the 19 inch wheels - so no issue for me. It's the online wheel...

As an update to this thread. I wanted to originally fit 18's to my model y with dedicated winter tyres. No company in UK seemed happy to supply an 18 inch wheel package. Due to brake caliper clearance they would only supply 19's. Being in the north east of Scotland we do get some pretty bad...

Yeah if it was for the sake of £10 i wouldn't bother and just go for the tesla ones. The ones i linked to have import tax to pay, so wont be going for those. Never know something might come along with a better saving. Thanks for commenting though

Hi, As the title suggest. Was looking to get some aftermarket TPMS sensors. Any good options out there or will it need to be direct from Tesla...

I picked up a set of these. Directional so left side and right side. Have been quite impressed given the price and ordering from Amazon which is nice and easy. couple of weeks for delivery though. I ordered some adhesive Tesla centre caps from Ebay which aren't shown in the pictures...

Stock for 255/45/19 has dwindled recently. I was keen to put a set of winter tyres on my Model Y RWD. Plan was to put on winter tyres on a standalone set of rims and change the wheels myself every 6 months or so. Which i have done with all my previous cars. Obviously supply and demand is the...

Thank for the reply, Whilst appreciate the all season option have always preferred a dedicated winter and summer set of wheels. When a set of alloys and tyres can be picked up for £1,200 granted it's more to start with but can then change myself when i want instead of relying on a fitter to do...

https://www.wheelbasealloys.com/alloy-wheels/romac/diablo/satin-black/18-inch/tesla/model-3/standard-range Have ordered from here in the past. Have used Model 3 as sourcing as model Y does not show the same option for 18's only 19's Believe Model 3 and Y have same bolt pattern 5X114.3. Correct...

Thanks for the info. i think given the Model Y comes with 19's or 20's. might make most sense to stick with 19's as dropping to 18's would again be another change. Appreciate the thought though as 18's would definitely be cheaper all round.

I know this will have been covered in some shape or form but wanted to get thoughts. Model Y RWD with supplied hankook summer tyres. Living in north east Scotland, we do see some decent snow and ice and coming from an Audi with Quattro and winter tyres feel it would be silly not to put on the...

https://www.wheelbasealloys.com/ Put in your model and pick whichever wheel suits then you can add a tyre package that includes winter tyres. Only difference you might have none of these wheels will come with the tmps sensors.

We bought our MY RWD from Inventory back in March 2023. We needed to collect before 31/03/2023. Assume this was Tesla trying to get rid of stock for their financial year end. We needed to get a brand new unregistered car as it was a company car and going through the business. Confirmed with...

Wanted Model Y Roof Rack / Bars - Ideally in Scotland but if they can be shipped to Aberdeen I will pay for shipping.

Yeah I think that will be the reason they have been removed from the market. The Tesla ones just seem overpriced compared to all the previous roof bars I have purchased. thought by now there would be credible alternatives from the like of Thule etc but not yet.

Hello all, Had a pre-order for a set of these from Roofbox.co.uk. I have ordered various items from my previous cars from this company so was happy with the products offered and their knowledge of what you need etc. Noticed the Yakima bars have been removed from the website. Emailed and they...

Thanks for all the replies guys, really appreciated. So looks like I will need the tow package to carry the bikes. Just a shame there wasn't a cheaper option available aftermarket.

Hi, yes it would be an Ebike rack. Usually all my bikes have gone on the roof racks, but weight means that's not possible. Each bike is around 25KG.

Not sure if this is a stupid question or not, My model Y did not have tow package from factory. I plan to travel with a couple of ebikes and would like to carry them on the back. I dont ever plan to tow anything (caravan, trailer etc). Do I still need to have the full tow bar package - Quite...
