Tesla Model S

I went with michelin pilot sport 4 as it was what was on the car. I'd just replace like with like unless there was cheap chinese tires on it or i had specific concerns

Picked up a Model S there and already planning the upgrades such as the powered froot/frunk and CCS upgrade. Have a M3 performance also, but the S will be more so the wifes car as we needed the extra space. Pretty happy with it must say.

Just have to wait on the logbook now to get the app working and check if it really does have the free supercharging was told it apparently has!

Delighted it has the ventilated seats though, real nice thing to have in the warmer months and seems to be a rare thing in them!

I know the logbook wont, but cannot add it to my cars on the Tesla account until it comes which will have the spec and if the Supercharging is on if there

for 450 vs 900 I'd prefer to pay Tesla.

LOL!

Why??? For an out of warranty car? They both use the exact same parts (not made by Tesla), the parts are fitted by qualified mechanics. There is zero difference.

If you want to overpay Tesla, why don't you just transfer some money into their bank? 😂

To be fair to Tesla my wife had an A7 and it used to do that as well. You'd reverse out in the morning and on full lock you thought the tyre had come off the rim. Fierce annoying.

You could try and find a part worn from a quality supplier (that x-ray them) to match either of the fronts?

Either that or fork out for 4 tyres. Two different tyres on the same axle is a complete no-no to me, even though it's not the driven wheels.

Yes there is a big manhole cover on the road that the front right wheel goes over when it happens. Could very well be the chance of surface you mention.

Tesla also told me it was "a feature" of the car

I would love if that feature would disappear if I get a different make / model of tyre next time. Any ideas on this?

Logbook arrived yesterday so was able to add the car to my account, Happy days it does have the free supercharging! Also have it booked in for MCU2 upgrade and while there they will also be fitting HW3 computer and the CCS Charging

+1

They won't fit HW3 unless you've (or the previous owner/s) paid for FSD. Not just subscription but the full chunk upfront. Otherwise it's just the MCU that changes.

If you have AP2 /2.5 hardware then for me it's worth paying for FSD to get the HW3 fitted. It's a big leap forward from 2/2.5

Late to this. It may well have been more than 15 minutes as I was in a meeting. So maybe just felt like 15 mins. But trust me I have a pre-facelift and it cost me 181 all in. I can email you the receipt if you want 😜

Cheers for the update garo. I think I will let Tesla do the job so when the time comes, not going to spend several hours trying to get that old battery out myself 😂

Yeah I was seriously considering both Primacy 4 and Pilot Sport 4. The acoustic foam has divided opinions with many people saying it's not worth the premium. But tbh I don't think it really matters. I paid 510 for the rears at the local shop with them buying and installing.

If it makes you feel any better my car came with a mix of Primacy3 and and the Goodyear Eagle A/S 5s. I still have one of each on the front. Doesn't bother me and I haven't noticed anything untoward. And no crabbing here either even though we have a tight right and reverse to get out of the driveway.

Saw that last night. The door handle is pretty desperate. Not sure how he didn't spot the missing boot cover. He must have accepted the car without even opening the boot. That's just dumb. It's his 4th Tesla, you'd think he would know at this stage to have a good look around and check all is well. Mind any of those issues will be sorted by Tesla without quibble under warranty of course.
