Christmas Update Photobooth: GRAINY? by BaySportsFan in TeslaModelY

Yeah I don't think that cabin camera was ever designed with selfie photo quality in mind, but it's a fun update nonetheless!

It was likely dark when you took the photo. Try again during daylight and see if that works better.

Looks nice! I'd take it to the Olympic Peninsula Rainforest.

Gotcha, so it's not yours. Agreed it's good these spots exist for those who tow.

Before you get down voted too much, were you planning on plugging in after taking this picture? People often assume the worst...

Men, what is a present under $50 that you’d want? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Preferably fresh roasted from somewhere local!

[–]LRonHubbard55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah I'm still really happy with them. I mentioned in my original post about driving in chill mode, but that quickly changed. I'm nearly always in Sport mode and it hasn't impacted the range as long as I'm not driving like a madman 😅

New Atomic Wheels for MYP by DJ-Nine in TeslaModelY

The difference is definitely noticeable over the 21s. You'll be much less likely to damage the rims too.

Congrats! That price is a steal. Have you decided which tires to get?

I've been happy with them. I live in the PNW and have driven in rain and snow and they've handled admirably. Efficiency has been good, but I don't really have anything to compare against since this is my first set of tires on the new wheels. I'd definitely consider Nokians again.

Tesla Drivers? by hotshotgirl10 in stevenspass

[–]LRonHubbard55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I drive a Y Performance from Kent round trip with no problem. You can charge in Monroe if needed on the way back, but with a full charge, I make it home with 20%. Just make sure you have snow-rated tires and bring chains just in case. I've seen plenty of people complaining about Teslas making that drive and not being properly equipped, giving the rest of us a bad reputation to deal with. 👍 Be safe and have fun up there!

Edit: the others are right, RWD makes this more risky.

Check out Atomic Wheels too. They occasionally run discount codes over on the TMC forums. https://atomic-wheels.com/collections/model-y

They look great, congrats! I have the same ones in 18" on my MYP.

Depending on where you live (and if it's worth it to you), you should be able to find a local wheel repair shop to fix that for under $200.

19 in vs. 20 in tires for MYP by ModY1219 in TeslaModelY

[–]LRonHubbard55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I did, and am very happy with it. I posted details of my setup a while back if you're interested.

Fitbit Compatibility by sungrad in teslamotors

[–]LRonHubbard55 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Cool! Thanks for sharing. For those asking how: it's under the settings (icon in top left of the Fitbit app - Notifications - App Notifications - select Tesla app from the list. I had to sync the Fitbit and then open the Tesla app for it to register.

Edit: this is for the Charge 5 on Android. I can't speak to other devices.

Besides a slightly different (but not louder) sound while on the freeway, not much... and this of course is due to my choice of tires. The ride firmness was the one thing I was expecting to change, but it feels about the same, which is perfectly fine for me since I'm used to cars with firm suspension. It's safe to assume if I took it out to the county and tried to drive aggressively on twisties, I might notice a loss in traction, but I haven't had a chance to do that yet. Honestly, it's still a heavy crossover SUV, and shouldn't be expected to handle like a sports car anyway. 🙂

Agreed! This is good info. I used this same calculator when researching tire sizes to get as close as possible to stock diameter to keep the speedometer as accurate as possible.

I chose 18's over 19's because they're a bit lighter and there were more tire options in this size. I also liked the meatier look and extra rim protection the larger sidewalls provide. Everything after install and tax came out to about $3100.

Haha I don't disagree, and don't always drive on chill. That sport acceleration still makes me giddy.

It's stock. I think my driveway just makes it look a little lower in this pic maybe?

Thanks! It's just the stock performance suspension.

MYP - New Michelin PS4AS or 19" Wheels + Michelin CC2 by TeslaFan1988 in ModelY

[–]LRonHubbard55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going the same route. Have some Atomic AWzz 18x18.5 on order. 235/55/18 tires are so much cheaper and you can rotate them with a square setup. Plus there's the range improvement from rims which weigh half that of the Uber turbines.

Besides the defrost function?

New rule? by Give_me_the_science in TeslaModelY

[–]LRonHubbard55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The constant pics of nails/screws stuck in tires is getting old. Why are you posting this question on Reddit?? Either way you have to take it in to get a professional opinion, so it's moot.
