model 3 snow chains

[khayyam]

Has anyone sorted chains for their model 3? I see that there are officially supported chains in the US accessories store, but of course we haven't got one of those!

Model 3 Snow Chain - 18" Pewag Sport RSS 76

The chains of course aren't Tesla made (Pewag Servo Sport RSS 76), so in principle could source them elsewhere, but haven't yet found anyone in NZ stocking them.

(This is for 18" aero wheels, 19" and 20" take different chains).

Try the Pewag agent in Australia (Wollongong).

Have you tried calling the Auckland store? They are in the Tesla NZ accessories brocure https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/downloads/en_NZ/M3_Accessories_Digital_Brochure_NZ.pdf

I went to these guys here in Christchurch:

Snow & Traction Chains | Snow Plows | Chain Protection Services | Christchurch

they were awesome, they stock the Pewag chains. They didn’t have the exact Tesla recommended ones but they tried a couple of different types on the car and I settled on a set of Pewag. You can email them and they will tell you the Auckland stockists as they are also an importer.

Thanks all. My experience with getting accessories through the auckland store is not good. Pewag aus put me onto an agent in vic who may be able to freight, which I will look into if I can't find them locally. Danboy which chains did you get from cps? As you say, they don't currently stock the rss, and only get one Pewag shipment per year...

I got these ones.

Thanks. I'm also considering socks, given we only need them occasionally.
