T Sportline 18” overlander set

Just installed my overlander wheel and tire set.

what was your reasoning for going with the overlander?

Bad city roads and ensuring my wife didn’t curb the Uber’s.

Looks awesome, my 18s with the Michelins just arrived. Now all I need is my PMY. Wonder what the efficiency will be like vs the 21s.

18" on a MYP.? Can you chose these wheels in the menu? As I understand, it is used for range calculation, no? Do the TPMS sensors pass on this info?

No, the closest you can set the car to is the 19” Gemini’s. The TPMS should connect in 48-72 hrs they said.

I love the look of those tires, went with the same size but in a max performance tire... getting them mounted and put on the car Saturday

The diameter is almost exactly the same as the 19’s. The tires are 245/50-ZR18 XL. And they are 16 pounds lighter than the 21” UTs.

Cool! I’m curious what your wh/mile is after a few hundred miles.

The overlanders are actually 255/55/18's for the larger side wall and slightly better ground clearance.

Any update here on range? Would love to know if any significant changes or not

Well, "reported" range suffers pretty bad because for every 100 miles the car thinks you have driven, you have actually covered 104 miles. For my car, adjusting for this difference and doing the calculations myself I still took a range hit... but part of that may be due to the tires being new... it takes a bit of driving to break in new tires. I will finalize my "year of commuting" chart tonight, since today is the 1 year anniversary of having my MYP delivered I am including my 6/30 driving in my totals for the 1 year of ownership, since I didn't really drive the car that first day.

Just ordered a MY. The sales person is insisting that you can't jack up a single corner of a Tesla to change a wheel because it could cause the battery pack to flex and break. I'm pretty sure this is nonsense - obvious you'd want to use the designated jack point and not jack on the battery pack, but I've seen plenty of pictures of them being jacked up, including by rangers. And if the batteries were that fragile you'd crack them going up driveways and such.

This advisor is very insistent though, so wanted to check if there's anything to this. I'm guessing he's confusing the fact that you'd need two jacks (or a lift or jackpoint jackstands) to rotate tires, since there's no way to swap in a regular jack stand using only the four jacking points. But if you just want to change a single wheel (going from summer to winter for instance) surely it's fine?

The overlanders are actually 255/55/18's for the larger side wall and slightly better ground clearance.

Yes for the OVERLANDERS, they are 45's for the A/S Michelin's as I ordered. Thanks for correcting that.

Hey Keith, hope all is well! Just wondering if you've been able to figure out any further info on how much your range took a hit. Saw your other longer post, but not sure if you had more detailed info on range and the 18 in wheels. Let us know. Thanks!

I am gathering up some new data now that the tires are "broken in"... I may have to suspend data collection though, my aero drag is increased now due to being rear ended today Car is drivable, and I will be verifying that it charges fine later (I expect zero issues) but I am affraid that if I open the hatch I will not be able to get it to latch again.

I viewed the footage of the accident several times... then when I tried to look at it on my computer it is not saved to the tesla drive! I wish I had recorded my screen with my phone while playing the accident video

Sorry to hear this, hope you (or anyone else in the car) are alright! One of the reasons I got the Y was because of its extreme safety measures.

Are you still able to view the accident via the onboard dashcam app? There may be a way to recover any data stored on the car's GPU...

Hope your insurance mitigates any headache.

I think the footage is lost forever, but I will plug the drive back into the car and see if anything show up that was not on the drive. The problem is, I think that the video of the accident that I was watching was stored in the "recent clips" section, we did a lot of driving after the accident and the Recent clips file covers your last hour of driving. So far my wife and I are feeling fine... already got a solicitation phone call from a Chiropractor asking if we needed help dealing with any injuries...

Keith

PS: I am going on a road trip to Florida in less than a week, I don't want to do it in a rental without auto pilot... really wish I knew if the hatch would open and close normally... but I can just load things through the rear doors for now.

Rugged tires = noisy tires.

Rugged tires = noisy tires.

Sometimes yes. Depends on the tire. I have BF Goodrich KO2s on my Raptor and they are dead silent.
