snow

Hello guys. This winter is the first full winter for most of us. Just want to see if you can post pictures of your winter set up. Did you go with a cheap set of wheel? I have. LR RWD but I will stick with my stock all season for now and see how they do. But if I’m getting winter tires, I’m...

Looking to buy a full set of snow tires, size 245/45R19! :)

I posted this to reddit as well - but it's probably more of a canadian issue: I've had a bit of the stuck door handle and windows not lowering due to cold/ice issues. I've also had a lot of cars (subarus) with frameless windows and at this temperature never had this issue. Anyway - I'm sure it...

With winter coming up I am wondering - what is the best way to remove multiple inches of snow from my model 3? My old car I used to shovel off parts and then use the ice scrapper/snow brush combo. However for the 3 I am worried about swirling paint - especially on a plain black model 3. I don't...

This was a first for me, and I don't recall ever seeing anyone having this issue. After driving home last Saturday in a heavy, wet snow storm with large clingy flakes, I manually parked in my garage, offset to one side so I could open the door enough to exit. Normally I just use summon to pull...

Here's a question for the Tesla family: snowy day, 32° F out, expecting 3-5 inches, at work for 8 hours with no covered parking. I leave with 100% and get to work with 80% SOC. Do I : 1. Leave the always on climate at 65 or so to prevent build up of snow on the windows and keep the car...

Yesterday we had a major snowstorm in the northeast US. My Tesla Model S was parked outside, and plugged into my Tesla Wall Connector (WC). When the snow was over, the snow removal crews were clearing the parking lot at my condo, so I went out to clear off the car and move it so that my space...

The mall near my work (50 miles from home) just added an rural King store and they just put in six 110v outlets along the outside of the store. We are expecting more cold weather and a good bit of snow over the next week. Is it kosher if I get stuck overnight to just plug in for a few hours or...

I was at the Edison NJ meet and greet stop for You You Xue’s Model 3 road trip last night. More info on the road trip can be found here: Tesla Model 3 Road Trip About an inch of snow had fallen earlier in the day and one of the parking lots by the supercharger was not plowed, so they decided to...

Just pulled in my (not heated) garage and looked at my salt covered Tesla. Forcast shows single digit temperatures for the next 10 days, just wondering what everyone is doing to keep their Teslas clean during this mess. I've used the touchless in the past around 32 degrees and other than the...

Hey Tesla owners I live on a dirt road. Yeah yeah I know in reading through some older forums how some people almost compare driving a Tesla on an unpaved road to committing some sort of suicide or like living in a haunted house or something. Anyway, so yeah I live on a dirt road, I own a...

Yesterday NJ received snow and ice. Right after the storm I was able to heat the car and then open the front door without issue. This morning after an overnight freeze the driver's window didn't move down the way it normally would and the door didn't open very well at all. After using a small...

I'm planning a trip to Tahoe from the Bay Area in a couple of weeks. Have a Model S 90D with 21" turbine wheels and all-seasons tires. My understanding is that the 90D performs very well in the snow without chains, but that in California there is a legal requirement to carry chains in the car...

hi everyone! I have a September 2016 delivery model s and was wondering if the all seasons on it were adequate in the snow. We had our first southwestern Pennsylvania snow and it seemed to do pretty well. Would I be foolish to ride out winter with the stock tires? I've seen many opinions on...

PSA: This falls into the "DOH" category. Just a reminder for folks, if you open the rear trunk and then open a FWD, you *will* end up with snow on the heads of your family in the middle row seats. My daughter was not amused.

While it's still fresh in my mind I thought I would post my observations of driving our Model X in some winter driving conditions over the last week. Note that I am a fairly new Tesla owner (since March) and we have about 8k miles now on the car (90D - see sig). We live in the foothills of the...

First decent amount of snow in CO. Managed to pack a good quantity of snow in the wheel-arches but the 50 mile drive was uneventful (RWD, traction control, sensible driving - handle as well as I had hoped it would from comment here). Stopped car, cleared arches. 6 hours later (losing a little...

We have a P85D and a short, but steep drive. When it snowed a few days ago our car was unable to make it up the drive without spinning out and slipping backward. There was about 2" of wet snow on the drive which hadn't previously been driven on. We were finally able to get up the drive after...

With winter coming to the Pacific Northwest, I've got a few road trips planned that'll involve snowy and icy weather. On my previous SUV, I used AutoSocks and they were great--easy to put on, quiet, and great performance. My Model X has the 22" wheels (for which Tesla doesn't even offer chains)...

19" OEM Wheels with Pirelli Sottozero snow tires mounted, TPMS sensors (early version), silver lug nuts for sale. The wheels are in great condition without any damages. Tires used for three seasons but probably have some life left. Prefer local pickup but will consider shipping if I figure out...

Tesla factory 19" Aerodynamic Wheels (Aero Wheels) with Michelin Primacy tires Excellent Condition. Came with recently purchased Tesla CPO car. About 700 miles on tires, mostly from drive down from Tesla factory to So. Ca. Hoping for local sale/pickup (Huntington Beach, CA). My tire shop...

What are some things that all of you current owners wish you knew when ordering? I'm new to zero emission vehicles, and I live in western Pennsylvania, so my primary available charger will be the one I install at my home. Is the necessary hardware included with the S or will there be more for...

I usually charge indoors with my HPWC when I'm at home, but at my cottage, I use my UMC with a 14-30 adapter to charge while parked outdoors. I took delivery of my S85D in June, so this is my first winter experience. On New Year's Day, the car was covered in several inches of snow, temperature...

I am awaiting delivery of my used 2013 Model S from Tesla! Here are a few things I learned in the buying process: Where to buy: If you buy used directly from Tesla, you get a 4 year/48k bumper to bumper warranty, and the prices seem competitive with other sellers. There are some available...

This is another video of the new Tesla P85D on our driveway. Conditions are now deliciously bad -- about 6 inches of new wet spring snow on top of the spring-thaw mud (see previous video). The car did a good (boring) job of getting through it, so I added a "start up on steep hill" attempt, which...

P85D INSANE LAUNCH in SNOW ice winter driving Tesla - YouTube Oh yes I did. And tesla is truly a smart car.

Regenarative braking on ice/snow,sliding ? I read from Swedish car magazine "Teknikens Världen", that on winter regenerative braking can make cars back slide, if braking is set to "normal". I would like to hear Tesla owners experiences about regenerative braking on ice/snow.

After watching this video of the Model S's performance in Norwegian snow, it seems crazy that we'd have to put chains on the Model S. We often drive up to Big Bear lake, and if it's snowing on Highway 38, they'll require chains on all 2WD vehicles (it's usually "R2" conditions: 4x4 vehicles...

Word of warning for those in cold climes - make sure your snow brush has very soft bristles. After cleaning all the salt off my car I've noticed a bunch of faint scratches in odd places. Scratched my head for a bit before realizing the brush I use to remove snow from the car must be...

As has been noted in other threads, Tesla sells snow chains for the Model S HERE. They are $89 for a pair, plus $32 shipping, plus tax. The picture clearly shows that they are SCC Z-chains, so I went to SCC’s site and looked up the size. They are Z-563. Then I searched around for the cheapest...
