winter

Okay, first off, while I am sure this topic has been covered before, I was having a hard time finding any threads that apply to my case. If there is one, I'd be more than happy to follow any links to other TMC forums about this topic. Now that that is out of the way ... TL;DR The package in...

Anyone have $4K handy for this upgrade? Tesla Launches Model Y Induction Wheel and Winter Package for $4,000 USD - TeslaNorth.com

So today was the first day of snow here in northern AZ. Couple of questions came to mind. 1) Does everyone else think the auto for the wipers is all over the place? In the snow it was fast as hell for a bit when there was little coming down and then when i could barely see out of the window...

The 8 year dream of owning a Tesla is finally coming to fruition, and I'm awaiting delivery of a Model 3 Performance. I then realized I don't know the first thing about wheels/tires. I know that range for the stock tires and wheel sets (at least the previous iteration) suffered as you...

Price: $1100 Description: Factory/Original, Excellent condition set of four winter wheels + tires for Tesla Model S. Used for only two winters on my 2016 Model S 90D. Listed as "VIN greater than P50900, Silver". Original Link on Tesla: Model S 19" Slipstream Wheel and Winter Tire Package...

For all pre heat pumpers out there coming into winter time. Press the recirculate (range boost) button for a % range boost on longer trips! I am not sure it gets simpler than that but it seemed to work looking at winter travel figures on SR+.

Posted also on Model Y forum but they're now available. Ordered mine - $179.99+tax for front and back, incl shipping.

19” Rial Luguano. Slight curb rash (see photos) 245/45R-19 MICHELIN X-ICE XI3 XL tires with 7/32 tread left. Includes TPMS and Lug nuts I am asking $750. I am located in Chicago (western Suburbs) area. Local pick up is preferred. If you have any questions please let me know.

Came across what looks like a new option to now have all season tires on the Model S 21" staggered setup. Does anyone have any experience yet with these?

NHTSA Recall Code 20V-062 certain Model X 2015-1016 bolts holding power steering unit can corrode and break. This was settled on early Model S some time ago. I received a letter about this in early April and the best guess at that time was that the parts would be available in Late Summer 2020...

I’m very close on pulling the trigger on a Standard Range Plus. I wanted to see how everyone’s experience is owning it in New England. Range loss in the winter? Driving on the “great” roads of New England (I live in Western Massachusetts) How’s your paint holding up? Do you have snow tires...

Selling a set of 4 rims and tires. They are OEM 20” winter snow tires that work with Tesla Model 3 Performance. They are sized to be compatible with the performance brakes. These tires have roughly 3,000 miles on them. The tread is in very good condition. One tire does have a small leak in the...

Hi All, So I recently placed an order for a Model 3 SR+ which at the time of ordering has an estimated range of 250 miles. I drive 100 miles a day round trip, 50 miles to work and 50 miles home which is roughly 15 miles back roads and 35 miles highway (65-70mph). My wife and I have a bigger SUV...

So I’ve made the decision to keep my P3D+ 20” for the time being and will swap out with the Gemini 19” when the Mrs’ LYD arrives. We have a trip coming up to CO and anticipate some wintry weather both coming and going and want a nice grippy tire that will still function well in more favorable...

Hi everyone, I wanted to confirm if this is normal. My Tesla Model 3 LR AWD is getting around 200 miles on a full charge with an average of 370 wh/hr. Here are my factors and conditions when I calculated the 200 mile range: NJ Commute ~50 miles round trip Traffic during 50% of my commute 35°...

Hi there - first time poster here, finally getting into this because I am finally at the point where my first Tesla is hopefully in my not too distant future. I currently own a 2016 RAV4 hybrid and have had 0 problems with it. Only 60,000 km (~37,000 miles) on it, so it has lots of life left...

Hi, and best regards from Finland. Wish there would be snow, it gives so much light. What's your midday brightness percentage? (Thinking about you, Californians... :))

Brand new owner here (actually not-even-owner yet; I pick up my car in 2 weeks). I am planning to buy a second set of wheels to run studded snow tires (we get a lot of snow & ice where I live). My car is a non-Performance dual-motor AWD, long-range/extended battery Model 3. I've done this on...

Hi there, any Tesla model 3 owners who have installed a diesel cabin heater? I found this user story on insideev: As demonstrated by commenter Stanislav Jaracz in New Jersey, you can install a diesel/petrol combustion heater for less than optimal plug-in driving days. All the heat you want -...

Met de eerste Model 3 winter ben ik benieuwd of er meer rijders zijn die denken dat de verwarming niet efficient is. Bij winterse kou gaat de range hard omlaag, zijn lange ritten oncomfortabel koud en duurt opladen langer. Ik heb bij Webasto gevraagd of het mogelijk is een standkachel in de...

Here is the thought problem. Its a very cold day. I have to drive 60 miles to my destination. Assume, just as an example, cabin heater needs to draw 5 kW to maintain a given cabin temperature. What would be the ideal speed to drive at for the least kWh/mile for this trip? Obviously if you are...

i bought my model 3 in aug 2018. After the software upgrade I only got 316 miles when charged to 100%. Last night I got only 312 miles from 5% SOC to 100%. A 4% degradation within 10 months? Have others degraded similarly?

Hello everyone, I have a Model 3 Performance and ordered 18" XIce3's with a set of rims from PMCTires that were guaranteed to fit. Went to get them installed, drove off and within 20 seconds came right back due to a loud noise from the back tires. Turns out the calipers were scraping against...

I've had my Tesla for three days, and I'm experiencing some frustrations. I'm hoping the forum can help: Wipers--we're getting our first snowfall and already the OEM wipers suck. They can't clear anything. I did look on the forum and see a few suggestions for alternatives: Bosch PUV and Trico...

I have a spare set model S 19” wheels I’m planning To use on the winter months on The MX , tire will be 255/50/19, are they (wheels) okay to use safely due to the heavier weight on the MX ? Can’t find any info about the oem weight load anywhere ... thx guys

We will be doing our first long road trip with our Model 3 LR AWD starting on Sunday. It may be fairly cool on the morning we leave (temperature around freezing is forecast overnight), so I'm seeking advice on how to keep a warm enough temperature in the car while minimizing impact on range...

There is snow in Tahoe! 4 Wheels + Tires + Chains Mounted and Balanced Almost new (5 trips to Tahoe). 19x8.5 Rial Lugano 245/45R-19 Michelin X-Ice XI3 XL Lugbolts (20) TPMS sensors (work without any issues on my P85D) I had those on my Model S but I now have a Model X and these do not seem to...

Has anyone done a significant road trip in the middle of Winter? With dogs? For the lunch stop with warmer temperatures, I would try to find a "dog friendly" restaurant, which translates into one with a patio. In the winter it would be too cold to sit on a patio. Unless you have a service...

Hi, Does anyone knows if when ordering the extra Winter Tire package with the car, do you also get the summer tires as well? Because to me it seems too much if this extra price for Winter tires and you dont get the summer included as well. Would be better to go with the inclusive summer tires...

Yes, Fall is here and cold mornings have caused my tire pressure to drop and trigger a warning. I just wanted to warn people that cold weather is coming :(. Winter ... is coming.. and range will drop. Southern friends please feel the norths pain. Thanks for listening. :)

I'm looking to put 18" wheels with Michelin Alpin's on my Model 3 Performance for the winter - either Pilot Alpin 5's or Pilot Alpin PA4's. I'm struggling to find any wheels that fit the wider performance bore. Has anyone had the Alpin's on their P3D with 18" wheels? In case it helps, here are...

New Model 3 RWD owner here. I've never had a RWD car before and I'm a bit paranoid about the winter. I live down in Surrey so not talking constant snow but we do get cold and we also do get the occasional accumulation. I'd like to get a good pair of all-season tyres (instead of dedicated winter...

Trying to find a good home for my first Tesla. I don't want to sell but I guess I'm too old to have S,3,X....only S,3 or 3,X :-) 2015 Model S 85D, 49k miles - Free Supercharging (which I really don't want to give up) Options: Midnight Silver, Black interior, Carbon Fiber Trim, Next Gen...

Today I finally got my snow tires removed (performance tires are back on)! As we were cleaning up, I noticed rust had formed across the center disk (which marries up to the hub flange). I was told that this can sometimes happen when two different metals are married together and that some...

Hi, I'm up in Tahoe (Incline Village, NV actually, walking distance from Diamond Peak's resort) and we got a good snow storm that made things very difficult around the area. That part is not that bad, except that the 12V warning just came up this morning, and I can't figure out the level of...

First time I've had a chance to do a proper wash this year. Thought I'd share a before and after photo. Dirt mostly from last week's snow: After wash and seal. There looks to be some white streaks on the bumper but it's light coming through a fence. I actually went to check after seeing...

2017 75D without wiper blade defrosters and heated washer nozzles. In Finland. Eh. That said, has anybody installed aftermarket solutions like Heated Windshield Wiper Kit Crystal Clear Blades: Automatic Heated Windshield Wiper Blades Do these work? Cheers, --T

I've been on upstate NY road trip through recent cold snap (West Mass to Buffalo). Have encountered consistent issues that I assume are common with others in cold temps? Temps have generally been single digit F (-15 or so C) Charging has not been possible at overnight stops (hotels...

Hi all, I'm not really into cars, and only really purchased a M3 for the cool tech, no-gas, and self-driving features. Prior to this car, I just let Jiffylube and my repair shop handle literally everything related to the car. So I've owned my M3 since August and last month it started to tell...

Tesla Model S 19" wheels and Pirelli Sottozero high performance winter tires in excellent condition --- a complete set of 245/45 R19 102V factory OEM 5x120 aluminum alloy rims that came as a 2nd set of wheels/tires on a leased Tesla S Performance. The vehicle has been turned in and these...

Zijn er forumleden die de instellingen van de auto aanpassen tijdens "mogelijke gladheid" ? Bijvoorbeeld "Chill mode" of "Regenerative braking" op Low ?

So yeah..... this happened last year. And then this happens this morning. This is after about an hour of heating plus two cycles of the wiper alley heater. I’m honestly at a loss as to how to keep the wipers from freezing to the windshield inside wiper alley where they can’t be...

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...

Living in North York Ontario, I didn't want to go with Tesla's Pirelli Sottozero II winter tires because they aren't that great in snow. So I was shopping around for about a month, calling Tesla service to make sure I was getting all my specs right. I ended up going with: 18" Michelin X-Ice...

Looks like now that the temperature is dropping my 'morning' tire pressure (after sitting in a cold garage) is around 39 psi. I'm wondering what people are using as their cold target. I was thinking of waiting for a cold overnight and pumping them up to 42 psi cold without driving first thing in...

I'm curious what other fellow northern Model 3 owners do come winter time to keep their cars clean. Besides the obvious, keep your car in a garage, how does everyone wash their cars? I'm wondering if there's a good way to wash my car without a car wash even when it might be below freezing.

So I had my tires/wheels changed at a local tire place today (swapped for winters). The old ones were 19 inch. The new ones are 18 inch. The new ones also have TPMS. But despite driving over 1 hour at highway speeds. The display still has this alert. Anyone else have this issue. I Have not tried...
