I bought Falken Wilpeak A/T Trail 255/50/19 tires and I used MY LR OEM rim 19 x 9.5 no modification/problem. I don't have to buy the wheels. I really don't care about range changes it's still very efficient EV. I'm planning to buy another set of tires size 255/50/20 to replace my other MY LR w/ induction wheels but not sure if 255/50/20R will fit w/ induction wheels 20x9.5...good vid indeed...

Dude, if there is an award for the biggest balls, my vote goes to you!

I wonder while using FSD, if Chill mode even matters for all of this? Regarding the driving feel, I don’t notice a difference when I change it to Chill, in FSD.

Hi nick, It's Peter from Jowua. Is there a way to contact you to support and collaboration ?

Move propane tank to the rear while trailering, your tongue weight will really be reduced

The cold effects the range a lot. Here's my experience from the last two years. I have a 2023 MYP and I'm NJ. I get 120 miles from a charge of 95% down to 5% in the winter. In the summer, I got 180 miles. Yeah those are real world range numbers driving in chill mode and using the car like a normal person (mixed highway/city driving , heat on etc). Still a great car if you don't have to drive far. I supercharge once a week during off peak hours and it cost $15 and takes 45 mins.

The entire purpose of the frameless windows dropping upon opening is to break any ice seal on the window. Any ice-bound adhesion strong enough to defeat the window-drop feature is ice _strong enough to shatter the window glass if you yanked the door open while the window is still frozen to the frame._

Chill mode? Like the acceleration mode or what? I'm confused by the first tip

Great video.. I'm in Idaho so a new subscriber here

The whole towing thing with a Tesla is a problem. I'm buying a 2800 lb trailer to tow with my 2023 Model X. Tesla advises not to use a weight distribution hitch, due to the unibody design of the car. You’re also not supposed to have ball rise of more than .75”. It’s very hard to know what I should do, but I’ve decided to go with a hitch that rises to a proper level for the trailer, and skip the WDH initially and see how it tows at 60 mph.

Great video! Heat pumps are so cool.

With your 1st hand experience, what lift, wheel, and tire setup would you recommend. I live off grid in northern California with my 2024 myp

🎉

What model and year is the Trailer? I am looking for a lightweight one to tow.

I've been towing a similar size trailer with my '22 MYLR. A few things I found are: Use a weight distribution hitch, very helpful, the LR weighs about 5600#'s so it's very stable while hauling. I purchased a trailer brake system, but never needed it. The trailer mode makes regen braking extremely effectively. Hauling North or towards the prevailing winds greatly reduces range typically 70-80 miles max. South i can usually go about 100-110. Useless to charge to 100%. You loose the first 5% in like 2 miles, so it's not worth the extra 20+ minutes of charging time. It SUCKS that there are very few pull through chargers, which means that you have to disconnect the trailer to charge 🤯😮‍💨🤦🏼. Good to know that now they have a specific RV charge adapter, i had purchased all the different plug adapters, only to find out that RV connections are different and very specific the hard way. For me towing the trailer with my Y is actually less stressful than when i would haul with my Ford Edge, the engine was always having to REALLY work hard 4k rpm just to go 60 mph. However, range anxiety is a definite stress.

Hey, thanks for the video, wandering your camper weight, 3350 for this trailer seems low. should be around 4200 gross but I guess dealer would tell you this info and maybe it is very ultra light trailer. good luck!

how much more battery does it consume compare to regular mode?

Damn 4500 pounds. No wonder the model three performance smokes that heavy ass van 🚐

Kim java did a test and it does significantly affect range.

24 y performance. 4k miles on it. Averaging 243W/mile by changing how I drive.

Do you think 275x50x18 would fit no rubbing??

I want one!

Nice vid - subbed as just bought a MY new in UK.

Just a friendly heads up, continous electrical load is supposed to be at 80% of rated circuit. So a 30A circuit should have a charger set to 24A max.

What is the Model X part number that you mention?

Get a scamp.

why didnt you get the LR over this one?

What about the MPH on the screen how does going from 21 to 18s work? Is it easy to set up on settings?

Falken wild peak siping is so shallow that they become tire spinners on the road in snow and rain after only 11k miles.

Nice video! Is this a new model Tesla model y with the heat pump?

Aerodynamics at work it’s the wind dam that is the caravan.

is there a difference in tow capacity between RWD, Long Range, and Performance?

Looks good. How are you feeling about them now?

Great content, more videos Nick👍👌

Here’s my honest question … I got a m3P is a 19” rim better then a 20” wheel for range ? And ride quality better ? Can’t find a 18” rim that’s not super expensive

lol nope an electric car is not an option for towing anything or even going camping!

I want to raise my rear 1 inch or 3/4 inch but no one sells lift springs for rear only

Outstanding. I was looking for a way to decrease regen braking and shift more power to the front wheels. Even with really good snow tires the performance models are less than ideal snow cars because of the rear drive bias and braking - which of course make it fun in the dry. Keep up all of the great videos.

Look at Alto Safari! Aero is way more important than weight! Also, weight distribution will make it safer!!

you can buy the TRAILER BRAKE ECU ADAPTER CABLE Pigtail OEM from Tesla SC for $4 and some change.

I think that Tesla adapter is rated for 50Amp but it pulls 45amp from charger

I’m curious how much this affects tire tread

2021+ model 3 aero wheels work on the model y as well. Not sure about the performance with bigger brakes. I think 18s with Aeros model Y will be near model 3 LR range numbers.

I really don’t get why Tesla is still pumping out new performance cars with the biggest/heaviest wheels still. If you want performance you want lightweight not bigger/heavier. 😅

Thanks Nick! I just created my Snow & Ice profile on my new MYP

You towed the Tesla or towed _with_ the Tesla? 🧐

an so much stuff in the back seats too!!

Would your set up work on a Tesla model 3?

That's too much trailer. Check out Rove Lite trailers. They are the lightest you can get without going to a teardrop or something else that is very tiny.. They have aluminum framing and chassis. The one I'm getting is the 16RB. It's their biggest one at 16' and the dry weight is just over 2000 lbs.

Thank you for this guide. Just completed my 1st trip towing a Coleman 17B. What I did not expect was the significant heat on what I'm guessing is on the battery (or motors?). The car didn't like the 2000ft elevation gain in 80 miles. AC was still blowing cold, but the floor was radiating too much heat, and we're toasting inside. This was on a 90F night btw.
