I have a 2020 model 3 performance with 27000 miles. Tires are around 60 % may get 60000 mile before replacement. I do take easy on the go pedal, most in chill mode. It may not be the weight, but how hard you drive.
Great video. Thanks for the info. I am on my second set of cheap all-season Chinese tires from Walmart Tire Center. About $380 installed for 4 new tires with free rotations and flat repair. I love them and have had only one minor issue with them... The range is a little less so what did I do?? I dropped my freeway speed from 74 mph to 72 mph and I get the same range. I have had no noticeable increase in cabin noise. The first set of cheap tires lasted 33k miles (I could have used them for another 5-6k miles but I normally switch out a little early for peace of mind). In my opinion, no need for $2000 installed tires for my Tesla.
I agree that getting the RIGHT tire for your EV is important - traction, wear, noise, and cost. If tire manufacturers REALLY want EV owners to take a chance on a tire that's not that "well-known" in the market then they should offer an unconditional 1,000 mile refund (in the event that the tire doesn't meet all the manufactures hype). And, because, taking the "word" of a social influencer who is either getting free tires (or is being paid to hype the product) just doesn't provide enough reason to purchase.
Sad to see an ev channel perpetuate the myth of heavy EVs. Model 3 weighs the same as a BMW 3 series and no one goes on and on about how heavy a BMW is.
Well they are quite a bit heavier than the average car. That will change because the battery technology just gets better and lighter. I envy those who live 20 to 30 years from now They get the great benefit of fusion with the better technology of batteries that are coming. These cars will become so much less expensive to buy and to drive.
Have you compared the weight of your Model 3 with an equivalent sedan? For example a Camry? It is not much heavier. Not even 100 - 200 kg (if you compare similar trims). What makes the most difference (especially with the Model 3) is the torque and how spirited is your driving of your EV vs an ICE car. However I admit, some EVs are much heavier, but not Teslas...
No data because the efficiency improvement did not include the average speed and amount of stop and go etc. a highway low speed range test would have been better
What I would be curious about is what is the price increase weighed against the miles increase. I don't have an opinion I'm just wondering. If I've spending a lot of money for those tires then you might be better off just getting new tires. Does anyone know this?
They really done wear out that much faster. It is only the OEM tires that wear out quick once you replace them with a really good set they will last nearly 40K miles. It doesn't matter if it is EV or not really pointless just a sales point.
Should have measured the old tires before the new fitment. New tires always feel better, and should be quieter. The miles will tell the truth. Will follow.
So you went this is tire brand because they are a sponsor, not because they are better tires. Let's be truthful here. Did they give you the tires for free, to do this video? Oh and a standard tire on an EV will still not spin because of the weight of the vehicle. If you want to increase range using any tires, increase the PSI in the tires. And you left out what PSI is in the tires and what was in your previous tires, when stating that these tires increase your cars efficiency. However, if you wanted way better efficiency you should have put 18" wheels on your car. I put 18" wheels on my Model Y Performance and get much better range, and curb protection by having more sidewall that sticks out farther than the rims. But I don't believe for one second that these ERange tires without foam are just as quiet as tires with foam in them.
Here in Canada they are about a grand cheaper than the Continentals that my Model Y came with and that goes for other name brand tires. I was very skeptical because of price. I have had them for about a month and so far I'm happy with them. I got just shy of 70,000 km (43K miles) on the factory Continentals. Maybe I was a little heavy on the pedal. We shall see how they last but by that time I will have traded or sold my Y. The price was right. I had never heard of these until I shopped around on the internet and found out that a tire shop I have dealt with before was a dealer for Sailun.

I drive the Continental AllSeasonContact on my Tesla Model 3 since 80,000 mls (= 128,000 km) now. Rest profile is still 3-4 mm.

What kind and brand of tires have you been using up to this point?
They really done wear out that much faster. It is only the OEM tires that wear out quick once you replace them with a really good set they will last nearly 40K miles. It doesn't matter if it is EV or not really pointless just a sales point.
A Tesla Model 3 weighs the same effectively as a BMW 3 series...so yea no they don't really weigh more. Thumbs down.
I absolutely love those wheels. Tell me who makes them please.
@@dalececil7527 the new aero
I love them too! People always stop to ask me. Try discount code teslaraj. Not sure if it still works

I'll probably go with the Sailuns.
I know that shop 😎
Good stuff
Don't see the link to tires?
Dealer list here: erangetires.com/en/#dealerlocator
M 3 P has same mass as many of the vehicles in its class. It is even lighter that some.
looks like borbet wheels ..still cloudy tho.
How much are they ?

I would feel much better about this brand if tire was foam lined.
I thought so too but didn’t notice any difference with the foam and these not having foam tbh
