265/40R20 front 295/35R20 rear I find a 285 tire in the front is sorta overkill because it makes the steering much harder. Also if you use spacers or a reduced offset than factory, it only increases the effort needed for steering even further. So people with 285 in the front and a reduced...

Wow. Have you taken dynamic weight into consideration at all. For a long wheelbase like the S, the tires handle up to 1.3X their static weight during braking (front), cornering, acceleration (rear) - weight transfer. For a car with a GVWR of 5600lbs (rounded up to the nearest 100), 1.3X static...

Indeed :)

How did you manage the weight rating? 245/30 seems like it can barely handle the weight of a Corolla, leave alone a 5000lb car

I have two sets of 20” tires - pilot sport 4 all seasons and pirelli PZ4 MO1 (Mercedes AMG spec). Both sets are 265/40R20 fronts and 295/35R20 rears. I have realized that the pirelli tread width is almost an inch less than the PS4AS and that results in very different traction profiles...

I have their Tesla specific version and it works great with a couple of inches to spare on the lift tray on both front and rear

Yes spacers, and visible degradation on the oem studs.. the oem studs are “soft”

Correct. Also remove the screws on the dust shield because the longer studs can only be positioned from a notch on the top of the hub

Not the hub, but the calipers yes. Just hang them on the upper control arm

I kept my sock on for when the car was in for another reason and they didn’t seem to care

No no, the 2021+ has its own sub site. Should show up in the drop down. Yes the images look like it’s for the older one, but don’t let that distract

Wow! If you just google epc Tesla , that’s the first thing that comes up. :)

Rejoice people… the hepa only filter part is now showing up on the epc parts site. Go look it up and order a spare :)

I love my signatures for their winter fit with my non racing pilot sport 4 all seasons! But I use a different brand for my summer racing season when I need to worry about load rating!

Y’all need to get a room!

The sock is in stock!

It’s just a couple of bux more. Will save you when you miscut it the first time :)

The engineering philosophy is - delete all the parts. Over delete and then add back 10% you deleted before. If you haven’t added back 10% you haven’t deleted enough. Engineering flux like this will create issues like ours. Their focus on how to simplify distracts from how to improve

Only if it’s real for the S. X don’t count :) Minivans are supposed to be smelly!

Excellent. How did you do the ozone treatment?

Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 are showing up on some tire reseller sites 265/40R20 104(Y) - sku 31273 295/35R20 105(Y) - sku 66351

I’m really getting attracted to the pilot sport cup 2 (240) connect tires that come in 275-35 front / 305–30 rear setup on 20” wheels. Also they seem like they have enough sipes for wet traction. I currently run the Pirelli 265/295 PZ4 setup and have loved the first few laps after which they...

Nice. Narrower in the rear! Traction ok on non prepped surface ?

I had a similar experience. I got splashed on severely and couldn’t see out of my windshield for a couple of seconds (scary). The dam did a partial job (actually quite good). The sock was critical in keeping whatever did make its way out of the intake.

Now I’m most curious about the reason for the switchback to oem!

Is the service center still beino adamant about not installing the CCB if they see UP or MPP suspension parts?

This is Tesla service we’re talking about :) Common sense and logic doesn’t apply to them.

I’ve heard about poor grounding being a reason for this error. I was getting it from time to time too, with no degradation in steering ability. I tested the electrical resistance between a few grounds that were easily accessible under the hood and found reasonably (>5 ohm) resistance. Had to...

Now close that awful gap where the wipers splash down

It only cures it until it gets wet again

Happens to me as well. When it’s damp outside, I just brake a bit when I start driving to get the moisture off the rotors / pads and then all is fine after.

I have the C part. It fits

Going commando I see :)

Make sure the elastic is properly stretched around the entire intake. At the back it can ride a bit high unless you pull it down gently below the lip edge

Interestingly, water enters in the model 3 from the intake in a similar location as well. A lot of people with the stinky model 3 think it’s about the condensation from the AC coil.

Between the B part and the C part, I don’t think either replacements will solve the problem since the issue is the water at the intake and given how hard that biodefense fan runs, water spray will just get sucked in no matter r how much they redesigned the intake opening on the C part. I am...

The shower dam has held up really well. No degradation of the adhesion for several weeks now. But I wiped the underside a few times with isopropyl alcohol / rubbing alcohol until it was squeaky clean and then did the dam tape. I know there are a few adhesion promotion things 3M makes which...

I did it on the underside of the hood for two reasons 1. The 3M tape on the shower dam has a much better seal against the metal of the hood than the plastic of the intake grill where it will most certainly come loose. 2. Stopping water at the source (where the wipers splash it down) rather than...

They’re not $100k cars anymore :)

Is your intake the same size? 17” X 3.5” If yes, then yes, if no then no

I’m using this one QYDKWK 78 Inch Shower Dam Shower... Amazon.com Go back a few pages here to see photos I did try to salvage my old filter by keeping it in the sun for 2 days and also using the foam cleaner on it, but it became a choice between smelling crap and smelling chemicals, so just...

Yes I agree. The shower dam is probably the primary line of defense with the sock the. Backup

It’s been several weeks since the shower dam and the air intake sock. I’m pleased to report that despite several rainy drives, not one drop entered the air intake! Hurrah!

Just a few drops collect on the sock if they make their way past the dam. They dry up

Okay, don’t turn on biodefense but youv have got to test the dam with the hose and wipers. You’ll never know if you put it on right if you don’t. And I haven’t seen any noticeable airflow reduction in biodefence mode. But collectively, the dam and the sock are a $45 fix. It’s actually the...

You’ve gotta test it with a hose and biodefence mode on :)

True. Please keep us posted on how it’s doing dust wise You could also get a regular 16X16X2 hvac filter

I’m not sure I understand the question. Why would the shower dam ruin ppf even if it were stuck on top of it. My hood has ppf too and the lip is barely a quarter of an inch if that at all. The shower dam is well inside it so it doesn’t foul with the wiper arm.

I don’t understand why not a single vendor has made a hood seal for the new S. They make it for he 3 and Y. Yes I know volumes, but I’d easily pay a couple of hundred for a more elegant solution. Oh well!
