After seeing condensation inside one of my 2 month old MX, I contacted service to get it repaired. Their response is that TESLA doesn’t use sealed taillights and the amount of water inside the twilight is considered “normal” How do you escalate service request? All the support options lead you...

22x10 up front will rub/ may not fit no matter what offset you put. I have 22x9.5 28mm offset with 285/35/22 and the have 1/4 in clearance to the control arm and the very lightly rub when reversing under full turns. At all heights

2020 MX, after 3 weeks 4 drives and countless hours of formatting and drives on Mac and PC, I decided to call TESLA for help. After the service adviser told me that they couldn’t plug any external drive into their computers to help me but that mobile service could. After scheduling with them, I...

Use the schedule departure charging, this way the battery heater and the cabin preconditioning happen while the car is plugged into the wall. The distance rating is based on 300Wh/mile. If you’re stating you had 100 miles for 85% you would be consuming 3X power (900 kW/mile). This feature will...

Also most local fire codes require a local (right next to the charger) disconnect for services in excess of 60 amps. And the breaker doesn’t count.

HF2 total cost with tires was $4.8K

Scorpion Zero all season plus. Wheels are 22x9.5 28 mm offset and the tires are all 285x35x22.

With 285/35/22 all around

I replaced the 20” with Vossen aftermarket 22”. I also changed the tires with Pirelli low rolling resistance all season tires. I have not seen any increase in consumption. I just finished 500 mile trip with speeds averaging 84 mph and I had average 378 Wh/mi.

I didn’t weigh them. But I can carry the 22” easier than the stock 20’s. The stock wheels are so heavy. I didn’t see any difference in range. Average consumption for both is around 339 kWh/mi on my commute. 22” tires are low rolling resistance though

Vossen HF-2 wheels in 22x9.5 +28 mm offset with 285/35/22 all around

It depends if Tesla can sell cars in your state. In TX we actually purchase the cars in NV. So Tesla requires full payment before shipping the car

The problem is not the tires but the stock wheels. The rear rims are too wide to fit in the front without rubbing.

It’s not a second regen brake. It’s your parking brake; I think it’s also used for holding the vehicle if your foot is not on the brake. The regen brake is just the motors working as generators. It may be that the larger motor doesn’t use the regular brakes for this.

I confirmed it at a showroom. It’s just the carbon fiber interior.

Rocky, first excuse the error in my term. Regardless, I do understand perfectly what the discussion was. The fact is that adding a 100 amp service and going through the expense of a new circuit, disconnect box and charger will not yield a 3X charging speed as the “rectifier” in the Tesla’s is...

I don’t think the previous statements are correct. In the end, regardless of the power feeding the car, it’s the inverter in the car that limits the power fee to the vehicle. In early versions the cars had 72A inverters if I’m not mistaken. But now, that has gone way down to the point where it...

Your second Calc is wrong; if you divide total power used by average power used per mike, the remaining units are miles, not KWh, and your efficiency was 331 not 310. So 21.6/0.331=65.26 miles which is your stated distance. Your first calc shows that at this consumption your max actual range...

These are hydraulic brakes and rely on the braking of the car to push back and actuate the hydraulic cylinder. While these work without a controller, you’re putting extra wear on the X brakes. Plus the hydraulic brakes have to have a special connection between the trailer and the car to allow...

Also it is required by law in the US to have a trailer brake controller with the ability to modulate and activate the brakes within arms reach of the driver. Police will likely have to pull you over to for something else but they can add that to a ticket. I have been pulled for a safety check...

I’m looking at the same setup 285 on all corners on 22x9.5 wheels but with the normal offset; did your tires rub on the inside or outside edge?

So what is the point of purchasing the Tesla wall charger and wiring it up for 100 amp service if the car cannot take more than 42 amps?

I have been debating for a long time if lightweight 22” rims will be as big a penalty in efficiency as the Tesla turbines. And wider tires vs 245’s There is a lot of information on this forum stating up to 20% hit. I came across this article performed by velonews looking at the energy...

The Nissan Leaf has a D for normal regen, a B for enhanced regeneration and a E pedal setting that is one pedal driving. For me the e pedal is too sensitive for normal driving; car immediately slows down hard if you let go of the “gas” but for traffic, parking lots and other city driving it’s...

in an effort to rotate the tires and get better life out of a set, I’m considering putting 285’s all around on the staggered 22” rims Has anyone done this? Will they rub? Not interested in the super low suspension setting. Thanks for your help
