Yeah. I had Tesla inspect it and more. Eventually Senior Engineering got involved and no solution worked. Ended up with the suggestion to switch my tires.
Regen would attempt to kick in and the green bar would go up and instantly back down to nothing. They think it has something to do with the traction detecting the slightest amount of slip. The manual says the car is supposed to learn and calibrate after a short amount of driving (like it did once I put the R3's on), but it never did.
Very happy with the R3's but a little sad I couldn't make the 9's with studs work.
When i got my winter set installed at the service center last weekend, the technician actually recommended NOT using the aero covers cuz apparently snow tends to get stuck inside. Anyone has experience running aero covers in the snow?
Went with the Tesla OEM 18" Aero rims and Pirelli Sottozero winter tire package, mainly due to following reason:
1. I really like the aero rims and the ability to have the option to put on aero covers
2. I read somewhere that the tires tesla use are slightly different from the standard ones that most other tire retailers sell, being a bit flatter and have sound dampening?
Gonna have it installed this saturday at lawrence service center, hopefully it works well.
I tried the studded 9's but I lost all regen and it never came back over 600 KMs... went back to Kal-Tire and got the R3's. Within 20 minutes the car started driving normally again.
Sorry for the late reply. I did went with that T rating from the viking 7. I have put on about 2000km so far and the viking 7 is by far better than any Blizzak winters I had previously.I'm thinking about getting the Viking 7 since the Blizzaks are not available with the right load index... My only concern is that the only version I was able to find for the Viking were speed rated "T" which is 4 levels below what Tesla recommends.
Did you went with that speed rating? Thanks!
I ended up buying the Continental WinterContact SI Plus from Canadian Tire. They were having $25% off, and prior I went to RCSS where you get a $25 CTC gift card for every $300 spent, so I bought $900 in Gift Cards, received $975, then with the 25% off at CTC, the Conti's were $891 all in (taxes)
Apparently it also greatly differs if you have RWD vs Dual. I have RWD.
Yeah the X-Ice are depressing to drive on for a P car. I'm considering replacing mine with Michelin Alpin PA4.I just had my Michelin XICE2 245/40/19 winter tires installed on 19" Replika 241 wheels today on my performance model 3. I think the 19" Replika 241 wheels look pretty good on the model 3!
Man though the Michelin XICE 2 tires felt pretty soft and squishy in today's warm and sunny 8 degree Vancouver weather compared to the sporty Michelin Pilot 4S summer tires.
Just put the Hakka9 studded on , no problem with regen works as before
Yes it is slightly less agressive but I have been driving EV’s for 8 yrs and that is normal with all snow tires, not to mention it is cold this morning
My guess is you had a defective tire, maybe out of round who knows.
I am sure you will be happy with the R3’s regardless.
