Per my community post yesterday, it looks like the additional tire configuration just released in the latest software update (2022.40.4.1). Check out the community post for a picture of the new feature in the latest software.
Great video with excellent step-by-step details! However I noticed a discrepancy regarding the tire direction. Based on your initial comments, the direction should be counterclockwise for the driver-side tires but in the video it appears they are being mounted clockwise. Could you clarify this?
Thanks! It’s confusing as it depends on which direction you are looking at the tires from (outside or inside, drivers side or passenger side). If looking from the outside on the drivers side, they should be rotating in a counter clockwise direction. You should see an arrow on the sidewall.
Thanks for using the links and letting me know. Looks like they changed the link for Amazon Canada so it was going to the 3/8 inch vs the Amazon US which was the 1/2 inch. You want this one: amzn.to/3ssOm81
Those Michelin's are not EV tires per se, so how do you find them for wear and tear in the winter? I was looking to get Winter EV specific tires, but they are $$$ over the Michelin Ice. Cheers
I have hard time lifting my model Y 2023 berlin version , jack pads wont fit it , 3 times the lift have left falling the car , it did scare the hell out of me! I need a better lift position or material! My lift can handle upto 2500kgs … but is unable to stay steady
First it does not go inside the hole i need to put it through a jack lift , secondly it is bad alogned to it does cause the fall everytime , because it slips during the lift. Now i changed the lift jack but the problem of puting in the hole remains , new Tesla’s are very compliacted
Nope, there are no front and rear jack points like on a traditional car. To do it safely you need one of those shop jacks that lift the car from all four jack points simultaneously. Having said that this guy has done it at home but did say that his jack points were damaged. teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/how-to-get-your-model-3-on-jack-stands-without-any-special-tools.261835/
@@Mangorille Thanks man. But the former drifter in me won’t allow me to “balance” the car in that way. It looks like once the front and rear aero covers are removed there’s a plethora of subframe to safely lift the front or rear (Model Y). That will free up the jack points for the 4 jackstands. Looks like the lower control arms inward pivot points are potential targets as well. Can’t see it too well from other videos but the covers are probably on them. But you can either drive up on some wood and or traditional ramps and access the aero covers. I like using wood or a nice rubber pad on my floor jack. It really depends on the vehicle. Cheers
@@vqdriver I agree, that is just asking for something to twist. On a conventional car, I would find a middle back (usually differential) and middle front (usually cross member) jackpoint and use those, of course doesn't apply to Teslas.
As long as your lift is in good condition, yes it is more than enough. You are just lifting 1 wheel at a time and the whole car weights about 2 tons. You can use jack stands for a bit of extra safety but I haven’t found the jack stands to be required unless I’m going under the car. Make sure you position the jack stands correctly if you plan to use those given the battery at the bottom.
You only have one set of rims and plan on swapping rubbers each season? The pressure monitoring sensor is on the inside of the tire so you’d need to get the tire off the rim to reuse.
Oh ok thanks. I’ll buy a new set then, Tesla website has 2 kinds. I’ll find out if it matters. I’m planning to purchase wheels & winter tire. I’m currently shopping around, I’ll check the tire shop you suggest for the wheels. Many thanks again :)
@@charhans262 No problem, my tire shop was able to include the OEM TPMS sensors in the winter tire package. If I recall, they were $600CAD through the tire shop last year when I got them. I see they're a bit cheaper now on the Tesla site.
The tire shop didn't provide too much information other than the link below which goes to a site by Super Speed. b2b.super-speed.ca/webapi/api/Product/GetImage?imgName=2022032318000511092.png
chocks (not chock) are nice...is there a reason you didn't engage the emergency brake as step one? also, a wire brush to the hub and winter wheel inside surface is often indicated disclosure: it took me 45 minutes to figure out that tread on winter tires is directional the first time i put them on...was very lucky to notice the arrow on the 3rd tire...I had no idea
You are correct, best practice to have a chock on each wheel and engage the parking brakes. Since I only jack up one wheel at a time, I find one chock works fine and my surface is fairly level. Never had to use a wire brush to clean the surface but I suppose it depends on your roads and the amount of corrosion present.
The manual doesn’t say anything about using pucks, it says that you need to lift the car from that specific area and not to lift by the battery or frame rail.

You’re the best! Thank you
Welcome. Best of luck with the winter!
Can I use silver grade anti-seize? Does it make a difference?
I’ve always used copper anti-seize but I’ve seen some shops use the silver stuff. Not sure if it makes a difference.
@@Mangorille thank you so much. Great video by the way!
I bought the stuff from your links, however the 6’’ extension does not fit the 21mm socket….😫
Thanks for using the links and letting me know. Looks like they changed the link for Amazon Canada so it was going to the 3/8 inch vs the Amazon US which was the 1/2 inch. You want this one: amzn.to/3ssOm81
Whats the winter tires psi setting same psi as the all seasons?
I use 42psi for both all seasons and winter.
Those Michelin's are not EV tires per se, so how do you find them for wear and tear in the winter? I was looking to get Winter EV specific tires, but they are $$$ over the Michelin Ice. Cheers
I'm on my second winter with them and no issues so far.
EV winter tyres and normal winter tyres are just identical. Search abt it on google

You need the jack pads. Is the hole where the jack pad goes smaller on your model Y or does it go in until the o-ring and then not fit it anymore?
First it does not go inside the hole i need to put it through a jack lift , secondly it is bad alogned to it does cause the fall everytime , because it slips during the lift. Now i changed the lift jack but the problem of puting in the hole remains , new Tesla’s are very compliacted
Have you guys tried to jack the entire front end or entire rear end as to place the vehicle on 4 jackstands? Just wondering how ya did it. Thanks

Can i use the same lug nut from the gemini wheels to the R241 wheels? Thanks for the video.
My tire shop specifically told me to use the aftermarket nuts they provided.
Don’t we need a jack stand , is it secure to lift with a 3T’ hydraulic lift?

Very good video. Have you done any brake calliper cleaning and lubrication yet?
Thanks buddy! Not yet, I'll probably need to do it next year.
Hi there do you know if I can use the the same tpms sensor from my summer tire on the winter tires.. or I need to buy another set from Tesla?

If you are in GTA, can you recommend the tire shop?
I like Tires23 in Mississauga.
Very good
Thanks Buddy!
Where do you live that requires winter tires?
Canada, already got some snow!
Nice looking wheels! What are they?
Thanks! They're by a company called Super Speed. b2b.super-speed.ca/webapi/api/Product/GetImage?imgName=2022032318000511092.png
Are the TPMS sensors in the new wheels OEM or aftermarket?
They are OEM.
Pucks aren't needed at all and Tesla shops don't uses them.
Each their own. I suggest you use the pucks. The bottom is flat, there isn't a frame rail like a traditional car for your jack to grab.
@@Mangorille Wonder why my ‘22 MYP Tesla user manual doesn’t mention their use either.
The manual doesn’t say anything about using pucks, it says that you need to lift the car from that specific area and not to lift by the battery or frame rail.
@@Mangorille exactly. So when u say they are a must have they, indeed, are not.
