I had my XI3's put on last Thursday, and I have not noticed the reduced regen like I did last winter when I first put them on. In fact, I would say the regen is as good as ever has been.

Anybody still having this issue? I have a SR+, and just got 18” aero replicas with Michelin x-ice tires installed. Regen is out of whack, works normally up to 30km/h but at higher speeds it is very limited regardless of battery %
I had my XI3's put on last Thursday, and I have not noticed the reduced regen like I did last winter when I first put them on. In fact, I would say the regen is as good as ever has been.
Is it possible a little wear and tear from last season could have reduced rolling resistance?
I had my X-ice's installed last week and there was an annoying ammout of regen reduction. (SR+ as well on 18" stock aeros)
I gave it time, then reduced pressure to 45 psi (they were at 47 cold), then reset the TPMS incase.
Outside temperature varys between 5-20 degC.
After a day it seemed to get better (maybe mid-way back to the stock A/S's) but I don't know if it's also just my mind playing tricks on me.
The reason I know it's still not the same is when using autopilot in stop-and-go, autopilot seems to have to use the brakes more and it's a less-smooth experience.
I'm optimistic that this next "one-pedal driving" update helps with this, I assume it's a large revamp of the regen algorithms. (and hopefully more use of regen for autopilot too in stop-and-go!)
I’m curious to see how this plays out. Presumably all the cars have the same software fix that was implemented last winter. I know how frustrating it can be to know you have an issue with regen and get the standard low temp or high soc explanations.
How are you liking those tires so far?I burned through my MXM4s at around 45K km halfway through this last summer. I put on a set of Michelin Cross Climate+. I did not see any issues with regen following the switch and I have been very happy with them through the summer. They are full rated (snowflake and mountain) winter tires. I will be interested to see how they perform in the snow. If they are as good as the reviews, they will permanently become my year round tire.

So far, the tires have been great. Last fall I found the MXM4s had traction issues even on dry pavement once the temperatures started approaching freezing. The rubber was too hard. The dry and wet traction on the Cross Climate+ was better than it was on the MXM4s through the summer and is much better so far this fall. I didn't find much difference on noise levels (it was hard to tell going from worn older tires to new tires). My energy consumption might be a bit higher but the difference is small enough that I can't tell for sure. The only thing I have not yet tested is their performance on snow or ice. Not too much in the immediate forecast here yet but it will come.
Thanks for the reply!So far, the tires have been great. Last fall I found the MXM4s had traction issues even on dry pavement once the temperatures started approaching freezing.

In short, even as an all season tire I like them better than the MXM4s. If they prove to be good winter tires, then they will be my only tire going forward.
Our Central Valley of California MXM4s will probably need replacing by summer or so at about 50K km. I was just going to buy more of the same, figuring Tesla knew what they were doing. But we may be moving to someplace where winter driving is more of a thing during the lifespan of our next tires, so I'm interested to follow your experience on the Cross Climate+ through this winter! And some time back I came across this chart, which rates them super highly:So far, the tires have been great.
