Awesome! Is this plug and play or does it require splicing?

I’m currently at 8 clicks from stiff in front and 10 clicks from stiff in the back. I don’t like it. I like things more firm and sporty. Maybe the springs still need to settle but I feel like the car is a little floaty wavering up and down a bit much for my tastes. Since the rear takes more work to adjust, I may adjust the front first to 6 and see how it turns out.

After a few hundred more KMs, I think my rear setting is too soft @ 12, lot of side to side swaying over bumps and body roll. Thinking of changing to around 7~9 clicks. Front feels ok at 8.
Thinking the middle # clicks are the way to go, with lower PSI for smaller sudden cracks in the road

Nobody added any radar + laser countermeasures, programmable physical buttons under the screen, HUD display or IC display in front of the steering wheel?

Anyone ever try to install a model S/X 17” screen?

Anyway list of upgrades on Blue/Black July 22’ MYP:

- Partial PPF - entire front, side upto 6” height in door and rear a bumper/lip.
- full 20% window tint all around (not front)
- Auto present door handles w/light. (Solved the wife nail damage issue lol)
- 295/275/35/21 rear/front tire combo and 38 psi make for a ride as good as the 19” but with 21” look/style no more stretched look and more sidewall protection
- oem tesla wood insert side door panels (mine was the original black dash no insert). So now updated to current interior.
- screen protector
- rubber cup holder insert
- camper bed (exact fit)

Other than this, car runs fantastic. I do wish the suspension was able to absorb as well as a basic Toyota but it is what it is. Positive outweighs

Did the tire change cut down your range much. I was thinking about doing this on my new performance y.

Not that I know of. The 38 psi probably does.
I don’t have the stock comparison to go on as I had the swap done within days of delivery.

What I can say is there is exactly a .5” increase in tire height in the front and back with this 275/35/21 295/35/21 setup. It’s astounding the exact same height increase. That and psi makes for a wayyy better ride. Absorbs the small road imperfections.

Tbh I’m not one who cares as much abt total efficiency day by day or weekly/monthly. Like for gas back in the day, I couldn’t care less if one tank gave 520km and the next 470…
I just enjoyed the car and assumed it will fluctuate based on many factors. Heavy foot, weather, hwy vs city etc. I did the swap for comfort, added rim safety…while keeping the sexy Uber look

I got more sidewall also but with 265/40/21 and 295/35/21. It’s so much better, better rim protection and a less jarring ride.

Nice! The reason I did the 275/295 is I only had to buy 2 rear tires and move the 275’s to the front rims. sourced the identical Michelin AS.

I kept my 255’s as spares.

Cost benefit buddy

Cool, I meant I get more sidewall compared to the regular set up in general. Your set up is nice! I took a chance on the Falkens.

Recently bought a ball mount so I could tow a trailer loaded with our old floor. Handled perfectly and I now know how much I dislike reversing a trailer.

So you took the stock rear tires, moved them to the front wheels. Bought new 295/35/21’s for the rear. Is the correct? Did the tire shop give you any hassles on “not the right size for the car”? Any rubbing on lock to lock turns or anything? Stock ride height? Our car is in order but from looking at other cars I really don’t like the stretched tire look. I want some vertical sidewall to fill up the wheel well and protect the wheel itself.

I DIY full PPF (full body pre-cut kit, includes all window trims and side mirror assembly) for $1800 on my MYLR. Paid additional $30 for bulk PPF film to cover my carbon fiber front lip as well.

Where did you source your PPF from?

 

[Destiny1701]

Congrats on your order correct…that’s exactly what I did. Shifted the rear 275 to the front rims and only purchased two new 295 rear tires…same exact manuf/type.

- no issues with tire shop whatsoever
- the new config is actually the proper sizing for the 9.5/10.5 rim widths. I also can’t stand the stretched look and the tire installer himself mentioned the stock oem should have been the 275/295 from the start. Now the new 275/295 setiup actually looks normal…no stretching at all.

- the new config is perfect. No rubbing lock to lock that was my first test driving off. Happy to report zero problems there.

- ride height is actually .5” higher for the entire car. By fluke both front and back new tires are now exactly .5” more rubber. Ie. The 275 is .5” higher than the 255, and the 295 is .5” higher than the 275. Resulted in a perfect ratio of increased ride height around the whole car. I did not want an odd height mismatch between front and rear.

All in all, the car drives smoother, better rim protection, looks more aggressive (especially the rear , and the car seems a bit more planted .. if I were to use a word to describe the steering feel and overall ride.

I wish Tesla would stop chintzing on the 255/275 config as it’s incorrect for these rims. The model S recently went from 295 to 305 on the 21” stock setup, so not sure why they don’t correct this here . Probably to do with range numbers.

Splicing.....kinda. It comes with a T connector already in place. All you have to do is lay two of the wires from the frunk light that is already there across the channels in the T connector and close it down. No actual cutting of wires or anything like that. Extremely easy and can be removed just as easily if needed

Lucky me, ended up with another nail in my tire but this time it couldn't be repaired. Got a new set of DSW06+ tires. Definitely taking an efficiency hit but I hear they're better than the stock tires so I'll take it.

Small touch today. Eventually going with most of the interior in red alcantara.

Why do I see this? Is this an Apple thing? I'm on a Chrome book.
