    new Tesla Model 3 18" Photon Wheels - load rating?

    Thank you dhanson865. Ive been trying to find the right calculation but everybody online seems to wing it! Calculating Using heaviest GAWR/2 to get your wheel weight and not GVWR/4 as the calculation GAWR RR seems to be the heaviest weight so your right....... at 3,307 lbs (1,500 kg) rear / 2...

    new Tesla Model 3 18" Photon Wheels - load rating?

    After @afadeev mentioned it.... I'm now looking at this closer.....why is everyone saying 750 kg/ is the minimum? I was just taking this on faith. If peoples plan to exceed the GVWR rating of the vehicle to tow or load bricks? If so wheels are not your only concern. Springs and dampers also...

    new Tesla Model 3 18" Photon Wheels - load rating?

    That's too bad they are rated too low. Think Tesla would be more capital efficient and use the same wheels interchangeably between models 3 and Y

    $5000 Performance Package was included after my purchase. Where’s my refund?

    Yes, you can either keep your free Supercharging or get $5k refund. You have to ask for the 5K or do nothing and keep your free Supercharging

    What is the etiquette: Office building paid parking with charging stations

    My guess is the rule they adopted is to allow you no more than 2hrs of juice for free. Not just parking, In the near future most of these will be paid per use, so charge up while you can for free!

    Multiple HPWC Issues with Model 3

    This would be my guess as well. Also, if you installed the wrong wire for a 100A circuit (even electricians do it wrong many times using 90 degree column vs 75 deg) The wire could be finally overheating enough to be causing trips. 3rd, yes a bad breaker also if it was not new when installed...

    Who’s waiting for EAP HW3 before buying?

    New hardware only needed for FSD. If you buy FSD you may be saving $$ over waiting for later buying FSD

    Thought on my M3 LR after about a few road trips

    One thing about your comment about passing with autopilot. If you have the latest version with Navigate on AP, You have the option to Pass i hear. It will ask to pass the car in front of you and it will do so smoothly. Maybe that's what you need! :) Anyways i dont have my car yet, but read...

    Does Tesla mobile connector work with 40Amp breaker

    By code though a 50A breaker is required for a 50A plug. I highly recommend you get rid of that plug for the future owners of your house who made plug in a car that doesn't have the feature to turn down there charging rate like Tesla can. Otherwise do spend the money and upgrade your panel...

    Horrible experience with local shop (pictures)

    The damage to the chrom trim was the result of closing the door and the windows not auto retracting. This is been mentioned in multiple threads. You have to have a shop that does lots of Teslas to know this and avoid it. Everyone else is right, small claims and file with your states CCB. This...

    Stock breakpads, anyone had to replace yet?

    X-Ice 3 winter tires messed up the regen badly.

    You have to have your car set for the exact tire you have. Especially if you didn't buy the winter tire package from Tesla. This is for the very reason you are describing with regen. They sent it wine announcement a while back. Go to service center

    Popping noise (windshield?) when car turns on - this can't be normal

    Have you tried to run the AC at night when car is already cool? That would tell you if it's the AC system or thermal expansion. It would not happen at night if it's your thermal expansion theory.

    MR and AWD

    This is correct. They "programming" would change on the car so that it only utilized the peak power it has in the MR pack. Otherwise the only other difference is changing out the line to produce a drivetrain pack that has the less batteries. When MR RWD goes down in sales, then MR AWD + SR RWD...

    Off Menu LR RWD Order: Request Denied, Order Date Kicked Back

    Well you were after the "guaranteed" ship by date for the full tax credit. Anytime after that you will most likely get the half credit $3750 instead. Option 3 - upgrade to P3D for the $5000 discount!

    My email to Tesla regarding the P3D+ $5k loss

    Fred, is that you . It's not a 5k loss, anybody ordering now won't likely get it till later after tax credit expires. It's like ordering a 2019 as soon as they are available and getting incentives to do so. You got a 2018. Exactly what you paid for Ask your lawer what he thinks if the contract...

    Bummer for those who paid for self drive.

    Not really, it doesn't affect existing customers. They just are not adding the softwarr it to current custimers as a prepaid discount. You snoosebyiu loose. It will be available as OTA in the car. Hardware v already installed for current production cars

    Let the motors warm?

    No, Battery conditioning is the only thing, and Tesla does this automatically . If you want to save energy from battery to do so , you stay plugged in while conditioning. Motors themselves work excellent cold and actually produce heat . ICE engines...you preheat to heat to the oil which...

    Orders by Oct 15th Guaranteed for tax credit, afterwards they are not

    For the Last two, they will probably do the right thing as they always have and pay for the tax credit. Kinda like they did in Canada.

    Track Mode also does much more regen, which probably helps the battery degredation that happened before your LR RWD

    My Model 3 (Lowered + Wheels + Painted Brake Calipers)
