21” to 19” wheel swap without Geo setup

[Cooker]

Does anybody know if the relatively recent wheel selection on the MCU service menu negates the need for service centre geo setup (£200+)?

I don’t know what a Geo setup is, but I’ve swapped wheels as described and only needed to change the Wheel Configuration in the menu, Obviously there are only Tesla OEM options available in that menu, so would probably have to do more for third party wheels with significant differences.

Getting ready to put 19” wheels and snow tires on my car for the first time...what’s this Wheel Configuration menu you speak of? Sounds like I’ll need to get in there when I take my 21’s off?

Yes, you'll need to let the car know that you've changed sizes if you want energy calcs, etc. to be correct. If you forget, it will "detect" that you've changed wheel sizes and tell you to go into the menu and change it.

Look under the Service tab on the main screen. There is a button labeled Wheel Configuration which then offers a drop down for you to select the new wheel type.

Thanks @Pluturi - I’ll give it a go. If this is true and AP and energy calls all good from simple menu change, pretty shocking that Tesla SC charge £200 for the privilege on top on £50 per wheel for putting atyre on and balancing!!!

Geo is the geometrical setup that they apparently have to do to make sure AP works properly given height of car is slightly different.
