I'm running 245/60 and to my understanding it's about as big as you can go without any modifications. If you want to start messing with the fender then of course the sky is the limit.

I've done three sets of varying length, pretty sure four would fit, especially if they weren't all the same size where the tips might interfere. I fit my 188 downhill skis and 200cm XC skis no problem on the length front. The sock extends right to the console, so it basically that length in total.

Sewed it myself from materials, most bought from ripstop by the roll.

Worked great, will do the same this year. That's the Tesmanian mat. I like it but don't have anything to compare it to. I do think I'm going to get the front seat versions though. The Taptes ones don't cover as much as I'd like.

Ya, I think there's a land of hand waving with flight carbon calculators. In theory the one I used takes into account the variables you mentioned but it does differ from the United number which is ~280 kgs for two passengers, which would further close the gap with the Tesla. As mentioned earlier...

Yes, right! Do you have a good number for full lifecycle for US sourced gasoline per chance? I wasn't sure how to account for charging loss, these numbers are from Tesla and I wasn't sure if they counted only what was added or the total pumped in. Looking more closely TeslaFi does have a used...

We did it in two days, not so bad for a two week trip. Agree that many will look to convenience and cost first but reducing co2 emissions is the main reason we went electric so was curious about it on a trip like this.

Just did a road trip from Leavenworth, WA to Boulder, CO in our Model Y and decided to run some numbers on CO2 emissions vs flying or driving a hybrid Rav4. TLDR is that due to coal power generation in Wyoming and Utah, driving a Tesla emits about 84% as much CO2 as a Rav4 and 80% as much as...

Throttle response is vastly diminished in off road assist (I think that's the point) so I'm sure it is slower. If you have a draggy why don't you just try it?

These are 925kg per wheel, 105V. Considering my wheels are 750kg per wheel I figure that's enough.

I took delivery of a 378xxx LR Ryzen. Intel is the exception at this point.

Ya, you could make one that would work for 8' lumber and that sat in the center console. This one maxes out at about 6'6"

We do a lot of skiing and I prefer to carry our skis inside the car than have a rack or roof box. The Y has a great pass through in the form of the middle seat coming down but I was a bit concerned about wear and tear from our ski edges scratching things up over time. I happen to dabble in...

FWIW we had the same experience in Renton where Washington State cars are picked up. We asked to look at the car before signing and they gave us all the time we wanted inside and out.

Well, almost 5 months after my initial inquiry we finally took delivery and three days later lifted our new Y and put 18" wheels on. We ended up going with Replika 241's and Michelin CrossClimate2s (245/60/18). That gets us just under 9" of clearance which should be good enough for our...
