Martian wheels

[Jmeitz]

Just installed my 19” Martian wheels with continental tires. Much lighter than the 21”.

Looks great.
Mine are out for delivery today.
I have the bridgestone quiettracks on the way too so they will be mounted soon.

Looks great! Any improvement in efficiency compared to the Uberturbines?

How are you able to set the wheel config from 21” to 19’s I couldn’t find that in the settings.

I think you have to get the SC to set it. I had to when I swapped to 21"

They told me not to worry about it as it didn’t matter.

No idea as I only have a few hundred miles on the Y. Don’t drive it that much.

looks great! I love the Martian wheel for the MY. You dropped over 10lbs on the wheel alone at each corner. This will improve the ride, handling and efficiency. Between the 10+lbs on the wheel and the weight saving on the tire, you should feel a difference. congrats!

I am really curious how these aftermarket wheels do efficiency wise. Some reports show the 21" wheels while heavy are extremely efficient (Aero Dynamic) making them just as good as 19" or 20" aftermarket wheels that have poor aero. Its made me double think if I will replace them or not, if I do, they would have to be some efficient design, like the 20" factory wheels maybe (or 3rd party equivalent)

Tesla service told you to not worry about it? There has to be some sort of difference between Ubers and the Martian Wheels. Does the car auto correct?

Installed my 19s today. They are very light, and I like the look. Put on some performance all season tires.

They told me since they are the same circumference it didn’t matter.

Thanks, I know it’s 20lbs or so lighter per wheel per their Website.

To set your wheels... Hit the car settings icon>Service>Wheel Configuration

BUT that seems to be only on my Model 3. Our Model Y doesn't seem to have the wheel configuration button at least on version 2020.28.6... I'll let you know if that changes when I install 32.3 on the Model Y

I don’t understand, this is the second performance car I’ve seen switch from 21s down to 19s. The overall diameter should be the same (just more tire and less wheel) but the vehicles look drastically lower. Could you measure the ground clearance with that? It looks almost less than a standard Model 3. I was hoping to switch to the Y to gain AWD over my 3 and a smidge better ground clearance for winter snow... but a Performance actually looks like I might have LESS ground clearance than the ~5 inch with the 3...

But the range estimate will be off? I guess it may matter to some and not to others. I am curious whether they are as efficient as the 19s w aero covers, or without.

I swapped out 21s for 20s and Tesla virtual service pushed the software change to my car. Gives me 315 rated miles at 100% SoC now. I have no idea if they are more efficient wheels than the 21s. They sure are lighter though.

I typically use the % remaining vs mileage.

I think I will ask service for 20 over 19s. I hear that they will ask to see new wheels.

Remember you don’t gain more miles. It’s just an estimate number. The car adjust as you drive. That’s why I use % as that the only accurate number.

Tire circumference should be identical, so no need to change settings.
