Moreover teslas stock “low rolling resistance” trash tires from Goodyear are downright dangerous in any sort of slick weather in winters. So I’d rather lose some range and feel safe than be riding on tires that are so awful that I have to take my other car out everytime it snows or rains heavily.

Same here. Just put Michelins Pilot SAS4 and by first few days experience in the rain I think they’ll be fine in snow. Not deep snow or anything but they’d be much better than the Goodyear garbage that the MY came with.

Yup! I agree..In under a year I already threw out these garbage Goodyear "all seasons" that came stock on my Model Y 2022 20" inductions. They were so horrendous. They barely handled rain and were downright dangerous in snow. I replaced them with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s.

I have to respectfully disagree. At least the stock Goodyear "all season" tires that came stock on the 20inch induction wheels 2022 Model Y are absolutely GARBAGE!! They barely feel like they handle well in rain and they are downright dangerous in snow. Literally dangerous in how badly they grip...

Ugh I wish I’d known ☹️☹️ I’ll still call and see if I might be able to return the tires I got from tire rack

I previously replaced the OEM tires on my Model S but never bothered to do anything about the foam and never noticed a difference. And I’m a very “notice a difference/finicky kinda” guy. So hope that helps. Also idk about the “EV” tires and to me it screams of a marketing gimmick. I mean I...

thank you for your suggestion. I ended up purchasing these Michelins Pilot Sport All Season 4 from tire rack. These seemed to have overall excellent reviews and somewhat decent/good review for snow performance. So I’ll just have to go with these. I wish the Vredesteins were available but yeah...

Yes that is correct. While they are very positively rated by owners for snow performance, they’re just not made for the 255/40R20 size unfortunately.

Curious to understand where did you end up finding them? Was it tire rack or a local shop?

Thank you very much. I’ll try to find the Vredesteins and hope I have some luck. This name keeps coming up and sounds like it might be a perfect fit for me who doesn’t want to keep changing tires twice a year

Thank you. I’ll check these out. Appreciate the response.

Hi All, I have owned several luxury cars including a Tesla Model S for many years. But a year ago I feel like I made the mistake of swapping out my S for a Model Y long range with the horrid 20" induction wheels. OK maybe that's not fair. The wheels are fine but the GoodYear tires that the...

That’s the joke of the year right here. Sorry perhaps you’re new to Tesla. I’ve owned teslas for YEARS now. My autopilot on my ‘16 MS still has bugs and braking issue. Not as awful as my MY but you can see it’s almost 6 year old car still suffering from software issues that should have been...

I agree 100% with your comment. The problem is Elon. He has gone from being a likeable honest good person from the early struggling Tesla years to an absolute mega douche of epic proportions. I used to love Tesla and now I hate it and most of it has to do with the distorted arrogant personality...

And the sad part is that seeing Tesla's inaction and lackadaisical attitude toward this issue for YEARS tells me this is never going to get fixed. Yet Elon has the audacity to proudly announce FSD price hikes time after time. I really don't know what he's smoking. At this point I just beg...

The problem is very bad especially on 2 lane highways. And OMG if my MY sees a Semi coming on the opposite side it freaks out like something out of an old horror movie. It slams the brakes, shrieks with its collision warning and makes all of us inside the car want to vomit immediately. Its an...

Hi All If you are a relatively newer Tesla Model 3 or Y owner you are probably no stranger to the horrors of phantom braking caused by Tesla's garbage TACC or "Autopilot". I (like a fool) traded in my 2016 Model S for a "latest and greatest" Model Y only to be horrified by how awful the...

I see you're the Tesla loyalist who consistently goes around this thread down voting every comment that is not 100% pro Tesla. Don't you have anything better to do? That said, yes I did figure out how to get superchargers displayed on the map but I guess it was too hard for you to compute that...

Yes. I agree 100% this update is garbage. And it hurts me 10 times more than the typical Tesla owner because like an idiot I just traded in my 2016 Model S for a brand new Model Y only to first get inundated with a new, one-screen life and ultra-minimalism of the Y and then being kicked in the...

Super helpful! I appreciate your time walking me through the above. Dang it, I should prepare to shell out some needless money now.

Thank you. This is very informative. What is the EMMC chip? Could you explain it in plain English? I’m not sure though if this is isolated to me because I researched online and found that this happened to quite a few newer Model 3 owners too. That said my car is a late 2016 MS. Of course I...

So I got a notification saying that a new software update was available. Excitedly I clicked OK and let the car do its thing and update itself. And lo and behold with this new update, Tesla decided it was a good idea to delete all of my driver profile, Homelink, Bluetooth and other settings. I...

See that’s been the most concerning bit as a Michigan based Tesla owner. Tesla’s customer service and after sales service has gotten so awful over the past couple years it was scary. I hope Elon is doing something to change all that because it’s been pretty bad. But hey at least now we have the...

Ummm no. While they supposedly have rangers, servicing of any kind in Michigan at least in my experience, has been awful. For every little to big thing they’ve been asking people to drive down to Toledo and wasting upwards of 4 hours in a day doing that was making Tesla ownership quite painful...

Just came here to post "F YEAH!!!!" Michigan customers have been suffering immensely at the hands of corrupt government and dwindling customer service from Tesla. Today's ruling in favor of Tesla will allow Tesla to sell and service cars in Michigan and is going to be a huge deal for...

First of all I am so sorry to hear of your experience. Ugh! That sounds awful. Especially going through the hassle of driving from Petoskey to Chicago with a 4 year old. That must've been brutal. And to think that you might have to drive all the way to Toledo to get your car serviced just breaks...

It is so sickening to see the rabid fanboyism on TMC. The moment you post a critique about the company the rabid fans truly come out of the woodworks telling you how YOU are wrong and that Tesla can never do any wrong. Disgusting!

You know I am so sick of each and everyone of rabid, blind Tesla fanatics coming out of the woodworks every time someone tries to point out flaws with the company. Who says the "perk" was "revocable"? Did someone say that to you? Or Did you just conveniently assume that they stated this was a...

DO NOT BUY a Tesla! I am a Model S owner and I have been a huge Tesla fan and LOVE my Tesla...but given how Tesla is treating its MI based customers...and how its gone back on its word on providing valet service to its S and X customers, it signals to me that the company has moved onto bigger...

THe concierge service was never meant for the M3 but they always committed toward providing the same for the S and X owners. Them going back on their word is whats downright fraudulent and obnoxious.

Lucky you! I live about 70 miles away from the Toledo SC...and Tesla has essentially put their foot down and pulled the rug from under the feet of Michigan Tesla owners. Its awful, they refuse to pick and drop the car for the S and X owners and are being very adamant about the same. A couple...

I’ve had similar experiences with Tesla and their offensive lack of customer service or willingness to stand behind their vehicle despite the numerous quality issues and therefore I too have decided to just ride it out with my current model S and get another EV as my second one. Yeah it sucks...

Either iPace or eTron or Rivian or even a leaf. But certainly not a second Tesla. They dump on their customers through shamelessly horrid customer service and I’m done with this company. Hurts especially badly since I was one of the early adapters out of Michigan.

I absolutely second this. And sadly enough this is the biggest reason we’re moving away from owning a Tesla again.

Lots of Tesla fans here responding I see. It’s cute! I am a Tesla owner and a previously HUGE Tesla fan. I unfortunately have decided to move away from Tesla. And the biggest reason is their declining customer service. As a Michigan based Tesla owner it’s been particularly bad owning a Tesla now...

I really appreciate your post. Just like you I am at a point of feeling confused. Because on one hand I have spent perhaps a good part of 7 years rooting for Tesla ever since I saw the first Tesla Model S in a mall in NJ. I have been rooting for this company, going on forums to talk positive...

Let me clear it up for people like you who are all sticks and stones on such forums pelting nonsense toward anyone who is even the slightest bit frustrated with Tesla. My car has had a severe vibration issue on acceleration. It has been to the shop a couple of times already wherein Tesla SC...

Did you read my comment, specifically wherein I mentioned that these aren't going to be the best options for me? I love the Tesla for its drive. I don't love it anymore for the myriad quality issues it has had and with Tesla taking a giant dump on Michigan customers just because its salivating...

I can guarantee you that taking a day off for work for car service is incompatible with the majority of the population's lifestyle.

OMG!! SO TRUE! The number of times I have had pickup truck driving rednecks tailgate me or Dodge Charger or Mustang GT driving petrolheads tailgate or rev their engines past me on the highway, I have lost count. There is this unsaid but very prominent complex that Michiganders have toward...

You summed it up beautifully in how ass backward this state is. If it weren't for my wife's entire family living here, I'd be getting the F out of this illogical dumb state in a heartbeat. You are absolutely right...any mention of the minutest effort for environmental protection and the Michigan...

THANK YOU for your previous comment and support. I immensely appreciate it especially at a time I am feeling distraught about my ownership of this vehicle. I too was saving up for someday getting a Model X as our second car down the road. But the way Tesla has burnt me, I am now in the never...

I appreciate your kind and understanding tone in your comment. I want to hang in there and continue supporting Tesla..... I have to figure out how to make it all work with just one car and a job that won't allow me so much time away for SC visits. Trust me I want to continue being with Tesla....

As much as hate the dealership model. But to be fair I don't recall the last time a Toyota or a Honda or a Mercedes or an Acura dealership promised me something and went back on it. I have owned each of the above brands and in my experience it has never happened. YMMV but during the car sale...

Did you bother reading my post or are you just another lurker who comes on commenting any time anyone says anything negative about Tesla? I mentioned in my post about the screen AND a vibration issue with acceleration. I also mentioned that they started refusing to flatbed the car for previous...

No idea how this wonderful administration came up with that number. I’m not sure if that’s only for Tesla’s or other EVs too. In any case it’s absurd and astronomical. I think the Michigan government’s logic is that since we Tesla owners don’t buy gas we therefore don’t pay a gas tax so we have...

When I bought my car I was told by Tesla that they will provide the flatbed/loaner service for all S and X owners. This was a big part of my decision making to go with a Tesla knowing that getting it serviced or fixed will be convenient enough given there are no SCs in the entire state of...

You know I am so sick and tired of holier-than-thou Tesla fanboys on this forum who who love rubbing it in everyone's face about how they're saving the planet by being so dedicated to Tesla. I am a very dedicated Tesla owner too, at least I was. I spent an arm and a leg on this car and coughed...

Gauging from your comment and overall shock it seems like I dodged a bullet here with this screen issue? What was your experience? Are they refusing to replace or repair the screens anymore?

That's what they tell me. First they said they'd fix it....then they said they're awaiting new screens from OEM wherein this yellow border issue has permanently been fixed. Then I asked them when is the screen due...they said not anytime soon...so I got them to send me in writing that they will...
