Yes, but depending on a lot of little factors, each person may have a different noise / experience. Mine was pretty noticable, loud before, especially between 60-75 mph. It got much quieter after using these.

Folks (including me) have put some of these rubber wind vortex strip things in the racks and had good luck reducing the whistling. There are a few threads on this here, but here's a direct link to what I used (bought 4-6 of these) removed the OEM rubber insert...

Agreed, I have this same setup with the 1up heavyduty single, it's the best. Really wish Tesla would get bike rack mode to stop the warning messages and yellow/red mustache on the back of the car when bike rack is on, but folks have been wishing for that for years now on this forum.

This was not just the plastic cover, it's the CNC machined metal hitch insert that's much higher quality than others floating around on Amazon, you spend 10 seconds to screw in the tool to pull it out. The guy was covering cost for the low volume he made on the side.

There's a great trailer hitch cover thing from a guy named Marco on these forums. He designed and made a bunch of them. I have one of the preorders and really like it.. really clean and easy way to take it on / off. I recall he got blocked from TMC because he promoted it without following some...

There's some early analysis on this back in 2020 posts , I believe it's 2-3% hit. It's small enough that it didn't matter for me Now loading stuff on the racks.. get ready for a much bigger hit.

I believe they only sell the 3 snowflake version of the Quatrac Pros on Tire Rack, but you might want to double-check you got the snow-rated ones. Apparently there are another version All weather that are non-snow rated. I have done a lot of snow/sleet/ice driving, slipping, slides over years...

Similar thing worked for me, with only the front cross bar needed. Still working great. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/5412047/

I got them from Tire Rack, I'm going on a couple years with them .. got them right after the first winter using the Goodyears, it was a couple months wait back then, but not sure if it's improved or regressed since for the wait. Going to get them again once worn a bit more. They were night and...

Vredestein Quatrac Pro is a great all year round option on the 20" inductions. There are several threads if you search Vredestein here. Much much better than the Goodyears. I use them as the year round all weather tires. Good in snow (3 snowflake rating).

My June 2020 MY LR has gone up and down quite a bit over the years. As everyone mentions on this thread and others.. try as best as you can not to worry about it (unless major drop 30%+) In my case: In June / July I was seeing as low as 283 on range estimate. For the last 2 weeks I am at 296

It's not cheap, but much cheaper than the 60k you mentioned.. Bluetti, Jackery, Ecoflow have a lot of solutions that help and use battery backup power. For $2-3k you can have a pretty sizable backup option, you don't need to buy their solar panels but those are an option too. I went with...

I own the OEM/ only being sold in South Korea Tesla adapter and was just sharing this as potentially a helpful tip for someone looking to get this adapter. You are right, identical was not the right word. Thanks for the corrections.

For folks waiting on getting this. EVSE adapters recently listed an adapter that looks identical to the Korean adapter: https://www.evseadapters.com/products/ccs-1-fast-charger-adapter-for-tesla-new/

Thanks for sharing and good luck on the trip! If you get a chance, would love to see what your gear list / favorite items are.
