    Life span for Continental ProContact Rx Tires

    Here is the post I mentioned in my previous post, though I was wrong recalling that this post stated the OEM Contis were not as “durable.” I’m still curious if there is any confirmation that the aftermarket Contis are a better tire. I might be tempted to buy them again if I found out they were...

    Life span for Continental ProContact Rx Tires

    I’m at 18K on my Contis with about 4/32 remaining, and not sure I want to go much past 20K. I’ll likely be shopping for new tires in the spring and looking for something with a little more life in them. A few months back, I did see a post from someone on this forum state that the OEM tires...

    Any tire inflators compatible with new 16v Li-Ion battery?

    I’m a little late in my reply, but just in case you haven’t found a solution yet, I ended up with the Viair 85P. I’ve been using it for more than a year with zero problems. Highly recommended.

    Gemini Tire replacement - anything better than OEM? (all season)

    I believe you! I’ve been around TMC long enough to know that some people get a lot of life out of their tires. I also know that others like myself burn through them fairly quickly. I swear I’m not hot off the starting line (at least I try not to be) and yet I will still need to replace these...

    Gemini Tire replacement - anything better than OEM? (all season)

    I’m in the same boat, and also have the OEM Contis. I rotate every 7k miles, keep them inflated to 42psi, and yet I’m under 5/32” on all four with only 17k miles. And the inside tread is starting to look a little bare. I don’t think I’m an aggressive driver (though it’s true my wife might have a...

    How many miles did your original Factory OEM tire last before replacing? (Miles/Wheel Type/ Size/ Tire Brand)

    Hmm… my 19” OEM Continentals are at 5/32”, and just shy of 10K miles. I’m doubting that I will make it to the next tire rotation. I don’t think I’m that hot off the starting line. I can say that most of my miles are local traffic with lots of start/stops, which is probably a big factor. I see...

    Yes, can confirm it displays “warming up” now.

    Camera condensation - expected or service call ?

    Thanks for confirming. I will stop being concerned about it then. And as for condensation on the inside glass of the pillar camera, all I can say is that this is new for me too (seen on both sides of the car) and appears correlated to the loss of those cameras under direct sunlight. I garage my...

    Camera condensation - expected or service call ?

    Bumping this thread, since I’ve been having the same issue and wondering if is normal. I’ve had my Y since March, but it’s only been the past few weeks I have noticed a problem. I will generally see a left or right “pillar camera blocked or blinded” when driving in the morning, always on the sun...

    Leaving car at a shop. Tips?

    I would not leave a tip.

    Battery health test

    You could be right and I don’t have a picture. It’s possible I only learned of the feature on TMC rather than from the release notes on my car, in which case maybe this feature isn’t intended for general consumption.

    Battery health test

    Not sure why this would be a problem. The Battery Health Test was advertised in the 2022.36 release notes, which I would read as indicating this is a feature available for the general public. Why would I care whether Tesla logs that I run this test?

    How far will current selling prices fall after Jan. 1 ?

    OP is asking about used prices. Emphasis added below. With new MYs getting a federally subsidized discount on Jan 1, there will be further downward pressure on used MY prices. How much, we shall see…

    Battery health test

    I’m curious, how many miles, and months of ownership? I wonder if the Tessie estimate will change too, now that you’ve completed a full battery health test.

    Best to charge to 60%?

    Eventually, I would expect battery health to be more important than mileage for EV resale value.
