2021 MS refresh new purchase questions

[saj070]

Hi guys I have a few questions just purchased 2021 refresh with 5k miles

1. Tire at front are Mitch sports 265/35/21
Rear is 295/30/21

Is this correct are they supposed to be different? I am more interested in the 35 v 30 number

Also I am in Chicago so can we square them up or not and if not can I go to sidewall 40 all around

2. Battery at 90% was 329 miles so full estimate 362 miles at 100%
I thought it was 400 epa?

See pictures of car and tires

A new Model S LR has an EPA range of 405 miles at 100%. This degrades over time and use. Most owners see a loss in the first year with 2-3% typical, and then about 1% a year thereafter. The range numbers between 100% and 0% are calculated and purposely tend to drift downward over time. If the car is 2 years old, there will be some drift and you can't assume what you see at 90% is accurate anymore for what the real range is.

A lot more details here: Range University – TeslaTap

Wheels and tires are correct. 329 miles sounds a little low. Mine runs 360-365 at 90%. It can depend on the charging routine the previous owner used. You could run it down to 5 or 10% a couple times then do a full charge and see if it changes.

The tire sizes are correct. 265/35R21 and 295/30R21 for all-season tires.

Also, congrats on your (new to you) car! Looks sweet!

Thank you I had it down to 20% free times but no luck when driving back

I will try 10% if not will open a ticket

375 range is what Tesla quotes on a LR with 21” wheels. Your tire sizes are factory.

Switch to 19” and problem solved. @Awiner is correct.

On point. 405 range is the quoted range with 19” wheels.

Lower the rear seat and wrap the entire center portion of metal U-latch with couple layers of gaffers (or electrical) tape.

I would avoid Service Center for any minor items, as they probably won’t fix and it’s not worth time / risk of having your car sit in their facility. Mobile service can be great if solvable by them.

Thank you I will try that just to be clear wrap around the U and then latch the seat? Will the seat latch back into theU?

Might have to slam seat back, but it will latch.
