I've got a friend who just took delivery of a Model Y P with factory tow package. She's not getting any connection to the trailer. No power, no lights. Is that what you've got going on? I'm trying to help her troubleshoot the issue. Initially I assumed that she needed to do something with the...

I've never felt unsafe driving in snow/ice with the WRG3. It's just that, many weekends, I end the day on the slopes and then drive 150 miles home over the mountains. I think I posted about it last year; the WRG3s are fine (with the dual motor car), the Hakkas are just better. I think if I just...

If what you need are tires for occasional snow and ice and you don't want to swap seasonally, these are your tires. I've gone to real snow tires for the winter because my kids are now on ski team and we're basically living at the mountain. The WRG3 is an amazingly versatile tire.

I really thought I had them on there correctly but now you've got me second guessing myself! I, too, will try a level once I get it on level ground.

I've noticed that the rear bar is a little lower. Have you managed to set yours up so they're the same? That would be lovey. Also, my driveway is angled so late that contributes to the appearance.

Yeah, I think the 10 year thing became a little burdensome. One year seems pretty generous to me.

The rear bar is a little lower than the front. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the height of the roof line.

Last year I bought a Whispbar WB 701 roof box. It was expensive but was aerodynamic and about the perfect size for the Model S. Fast forward to this year and I can't reliably get it to close. A video of the problem sent to Yakima (who made Whispbar) confirmed that the product was defective. They...

In many sections of hwy 97 the speed limit was raised to 65 earlier this year.

I sold them with about 10,000 miles on them and about 70% treat left. I blame a lot of that on the fact that they spend the last couple thousand miles on a P100D in Ludicrous mode. Drive them more normally and you'll get 30,000-40,000 miles out of a set.

I'm pretty sure they're asymmetrical (the inside and outside edges of the tire is different) but I was unaware that they had different options in the size for the Model S. I had the car versions in 245/45R19 all around on the Model S. The Model X has the SUV version in some crazy staggered sizes.

The answer is a qualified yes. I just replaced the WRG3s (yesterday) with a set of Hakkapelliita 8 studded tires. I've been driving over the pass to go skiing every weekend since Christmas and I'm going to continue to do so until the end of March. The WRG3s never felt unsafe and I never had any...

Not only is this anti-social behavior but it's also illegal. The Oregon legislature passed a bill last year making this a finable offense. I would simply call the police non-emergency line and ask that they come hand out tickets.

Thanks for the head's up. We're heading over on Monday and I'll throw a shovel in the car just in case. When I was there a couple of weeks ago it was totally plowed and easy to use.

That's what mine would have been if they hadn't given me a 10% discount because they were doing the cam, xpel and window tint.
