Is your max range over 300 now with the 20" wheels?
@jwuwu wow man, this is a big surprise! Curious to know if your reason to swap was more for the better efficiency or aesthetics... I’m still waiting on my delivery and have contemplated going back to the stealth performance. Are you sad to see the Uberturbines go?
Makes sense. Enjoy it!Hello @Tech Dane, hope you're doing well. My main reason was for efficiency since I drive to the central valley a couple times a month to see family. I also plan to take road trips too once the SIP is lifted and when it's safe to do so. It just made more sense to be able to rotate the tires.
I also love the look of the induction wheels with the red brakes on the white color than the Uberturbines. I don't miss the Uberturbines at all.
Efficiency wise I'm averaging 257 wh/mi on the current induction wheels vs. 280 wh/mi when I had the Uberturbines. I drive on average 70-75 mph on the freeway with AP/FSD on.
Wish Tesla could give people with the Performance trim the option to select the Inductions when they order.
Man, that's a hard decision to make between PUP or stealth. If stealth option is cheaper than PUP, I'd do that instead but since they're the same, I'd still pick PUP over stealth. I was planning to get an aftermarket set anyways in November(Black Friday) and then sell the PUP to recoup some of the cost if I didn't do this swap.
Might still do an aftermarket set down the line if they're lighter and looks better.
If the tires are the 245/45-R21 with Pirelli P Zero's those tires are 29 Lbs, so the 21” wheels are 39.8 Lbs.No. Wheels WITHOUT tires. I swear if no one gets them before I get my car, I’m taking a scale with me when I get my Übers powder coated!
Tesla will only change to the 20’s if they are Tesla rims. They wouldn’t change mine. Just an FYI.
Good question. I was honest and that backfired. Now to try your method...will update...What if you just send a pic of the 20" induction wheels? You can use my pic if you want.
How did you ask Tesla to make this change? Got some aftermarket 20" wheels as well, not too critical for me though as I had the 19" Gemini wheels before.Good question. I was honest and that backfired. Now to try your method...will update...
Swapping the sensors without dismounting is easy on higher profile tires like the S’s 45/19’s or X’s 45/20’s but on the Y’s very low profile and wide 275/35R21’s it gets much more difficult. I wouldn’t expect a shop to fool around with very wide and low profile tires. I own a couple tire machines and if you are careful it’s not a big deal to pop off the tire. I would however say that the car would relearn the new sensor and the shop wasn’t familiar because many people have already been swapping Model Y wheels without issues, that’s definitely more "easy peasy"I’ve swapped TPMS without removing tires. Just have to break the bead on one side. Easy peasy. No rebalancing or anything needed. Shops are to lazy to do it that way and happy to take your money.
