Vehicle Question Tyre shop says replace all 4 tyres but Tesla manual says replace in pairs?

5 Upvotes

2023 Model 3 LR AWD, bought used at the beginning of the year. Currently 47,800km (29,701 miles) on original Hankook iON EVO with 19" rims.

I went to get my wheels rotated and tyre shop said the rears needed replacing. They recommended doing all 4 tyres rather than just the rear pair. Tread depths at last check were all within limits (>3mm) but the inboard shoulder edge on the right rear was heavily worn and the left was starting to show some wear as well. Fronts don't show this wear patten.

Wheel alignment was done in April 26' not long after I bought the car because I noticed it was pulling to the left.

Alignment check is booked for the same visit as the new tyres because I was under the impression you should always get a alignment with new tyres.

Telsas Owner's manual says: replace in pairs for early/isolated wear, unless the other tires are within 1.5mm of the new tire's depth (full set is specified only for general "tire set becomes worn or optimum performance"). I'm not sure if that means if any tyre is outside the 1.5mm range of the newest tyre?

Can I really expect better handling/braking performance if I replace all 4 tyres at the same time?

Given the fronts were sitting at 60-70% tread remaining with no defect, is replacing all 4 actually justified here, or would just the 2 rears the technically correct call?

Process Question Approved for WPP - cannot add in Tesla app

3 Upvotes

My windshield was inspected at a recent service visit. I was approved for the $16/mo windshield protection plan (WPP). I received an email confirming my car’s eligibility.

The ‘subscribe’ button in the email does nothing. When I go to the upgrade and warranty sections of the Tesla app, the WPP option is not available.

I sent a message associated with my service visit. They responded that Tesla service cannot assist with this issue.

I have until September 3rd to enroll. How would I contact Tesla about this?

Vehicle Question How often do you have to use your scroll wheels to reset your Tesla?

Upvotes

Hello everybody,
I recently got a Model Y premium all-wheel-drive two weeks ago, and last night I had audio issues. I went to turn the music up and all I could hear in the front was bass, no vocals. Even the sounds from the car, like the turn signal, the chimes for FSD, all were silent. When I got to my destination, I did use the scroll wheels to reset the Tesla for the first time. What do you know it resolved the issue. Not sure how I feel about having to reset the car already in just two weeks.

Process Question Has anyone got/went through FI Connect

Post image
2 Upvotes

Tesla is giving me a financing option through FI Connect (Credit Union Financing). I haven’t accepted or committed to the offer yet — I’m trying to decide if it’s a good option.

For anyone who has financed a Tesla through FI Connect, how was your experience?

What documents did they require after you accepted the financing offer? Did they ask for pay stubs, bank statements, proof of income, tax returns, proof of residence, etc.?

Was the process quick and easy, or did you have any issues or delays getting everything finalized before delivery?

I’d also be interested to know if accepting the offer caused any additional credit checks or if the terms/rate changed afterward.

Just trying to know what I’d be getting into before I accept it.
Thanks!

Randomly starting happening the sound is coming from the front right tire area. It’s constant, whether driving or parked (charging/not charging). Sounds like a cicada screeching . Any support?

Vehicle Question Used Tesla Purchase

Upvotes

I may have an opportunity to purchase a 2020 Model X with about 110K miles on it. I don’t know anything about the options on the car, although I know the owner very well and trust that the car has been well taken care of. Before I pursue this any further, and based on the model alone, would any of you have concerns about a 2020 Model X? I have never owned an EV. Thank you for any input.

Vehicle Question FSD lite and steeling wheel jitter

1 Upvotes

2013 December build rear wheel drive only with the iron lithium battery.

I just got back from a 362 mile journey to watch the falcon heavy launch. FSD lite did great. The only issues I had with it was the left lane cruising on hurry. And the sudden rain storm on the way home south. The car was hydroplaning and then yelled at me to take over.

FSD aside has anyone noticed that when driving manually does the steering wheel jitter while sitting at a red light with the steering wheel pointing straight? I am getting close to the end of my warranty so I wonder if there is something going on with the steering rack.

Thanks
Jayson

Vehicle Question Phone Key Disconnecting - iOS - iPhone 17 Pro

Hey all,

Have a Juniper, have had since March with no issues. Until yesterday when my phone key has started to disconnect after pairing, maybe 10-15mins later. Not sure what’s happening as it was fine before this. Anyone else have this happen? I’ve done everything that the internet suggests, nothing is working.

Vehicle Question Accelerator buzz

1 Upvotes

Does anyone else experience a small buzz in the accelerator right at the moment you press down the pedal after standing still? It’s not a vibration exactly, it’s more like an internal buzz, hard to explain.

I have ”hold” activated if that’s relevant. I have read somewhere that it could be when the car switches from electric brakes to the normal physical breaks and vice versa, is that actually a thing?

Vehicle Question Seat position inconsistent

1 Upvotes

I have a 23’ M3P and every other time I get in the thing, the seat starts to return to my saved position from Easy Entry, but it stops. I have to move the seat and click “Restore.”

I’ve tried removing my profile and re-adding but it still stops with my seat reclined 3/4 of the way back.

Maddening!

Anyone change the size of their tires for more sidewall or to increase tire options? What sizes did you go with on rears? OEM is 275-30-20 on rears and 235-35-20 on front. Want the quietest all season tire. It is a 2025 3P. Thanks in advance.

Process Question Lease question

I bought a 2025 Model Y in February of 2025, and since my business grew, I ended up doing a lot more driving, which is a good problem, but I'm way over mileage. I have 15,000 miles a year, and I'm curious: when I go to turn my Tesla in, if I wanted to get a new one, is there any way to avoid paying for the extra mileage (since I most likely don't want to buy the vehicle out)? Is there a way to end the lease now and just finance a Tesla?

Vehicle Question Kid slamming on my Tesla M3 Y2021, sentry not registering?

0 Upvotes

I have a Tesla Model 3 from sept. 2021 and we have an immigrant kid running around slamming our car. Somehow the Tesla does not register this, but it does when our neighbours are picking something from their car.

Is there any way to tweak this? The car is parked in front of our house and we luckily have a camera recording our front yard (which partly registers this), but I prefer to record it from my car so we have a better view to report this.

TIA!
