How about a TeslaBot car wash or detailing service? :cool: Schedule it from the car or your Tesla app. Available at deluxe Supercharger locations.

If that's what Tesla put on your vehicle, then that's the correct tire for your vehicle, but not mine. Also, because Tesla makes frequent changes, you have to check the door pillar labels to know the load limits.

I think he was joking. :cool:

Any word from anyone in Ely, talking to anyone in Ely, or passing through Ely if there's any progress on this station? One senior guy on the team is back. George Bahadue, Senior Manager of Site Acquisition and Business Development, commented on LinkedIn: “Two weeks ago, I was asked to return...

That's 100% true, and that's because of the factor of safety in the calculations. You want to keep your payload (passengers + cargo) at or below the rated number on the door pillar label. Just trying to help you and anyone who might read this avoid overloading their vehicle. As author Kurt...

That would be cool. Aurora just got a transformer yesterday, so maybe Arvada's is coming soon since both use Xcel Energy.

Exactly. If you knew for sure you were going to go slow, like turning your car into a neighborhood ice cream truck, you could get away with a lower speed rating. I've read that in some parts of the EU, it's actually illegal to mount lower-speed tires. The car is not rated for 1874 lb of...

Swung by Coneville yesterday and we have a transformer. What a beauty!

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I didn't mean the parking spots themselves but the conduit stubs. Will they do anything to *help* prevent people from walking on or kicking the conduit stubs (and possibly cracking them). The SC stubs are short but the L2 stubs are over a foot long. Maybe put a little...

Thanks, that's 7 months after I took delivery, which is a long time in Tesla's world. The Li-ion low-voltage battery resulted in a weight savings of 26.9 lbs on the battery itself and a few more pounds on a lighter bracket. That's significant, and maybe it was just enough to allow a lower load...

So refreshing to see when someone considers others.

Would be interesting to see what difference, if any, that tire downgrade has made. When did you take delivery? Tesla is known for making changes during the year, so your 2022 Model 3 LR might actually have some significant differences from mine. Did you get the Li-ion low-voltage battery? I got...

I took delivery of a 2022 Model 3 LR AWD on 2021-12-20, and it came with these: Michelin Primacy MXM4 AC P235/45R18 98W EXTRA LOAD What are the speed and load ratings of your factory tires?

Good to hear. Not to be a scaredy-cat, but I would inspect them regularly.

Regarding using the Michelin Primacy Tour A/S 235/45R18 94V LEX BSW on your 2022 M3LR, both the load index and speed rating are lower than the original tire, which is 98W: Load Index 94 (670 kg / 1480 lb) Load Index 98 (750 kg/ 1650 lb) That's per tire, so for all 4 you are 80 kg * 4 = 320 kg...
