The are many factors that can affect tire wear. Just by being a staggered configuration on a 50/50 weight distribution car will contribute to the front tires wearing faster. The report didn’t mention abnormal tire wear so as long as the tire wear is not caused by alignment issues, this seems...

I unfortunately had to put the stock wheels back on due to occasional rubbing at full suspension travel. Just that little bit of poking as pictured earlier is enough to really wake you up when going over a dip on the freeway, especially since the cat is already so quiet. The rubbing occurs at a...

The front fender liner can be tweaked to get the clearance needed. The back with 295 tires as found on the Tesla will rub for sure. There is no camber adjustment on the rear of the Air to help either.

The picture in the previous post is a 265 tire on a Tesla wheel mounted to the front of an Air GT. We didn’t see any caliper clearance problems but fender liner clearance was pretty tight.

The 295 in the rear will poke out and rub if the standard alignment specs are followed. The 265 up front will be very close and will likely require the fender liner to be tighter against the wheel well.

Some lessons learned ... a) front set up is at the limit because right side tire rubs the fender liner slightly at one location .. and only while backing up. I'm pretty sure I can fix that by making sure the right fender liner is snug against the wheel well. b) The rears will rub slightly...

Slight poke ...

Got up early to take some pictures of the final results ...

As of v 2.3.10, tow truck mode is not available. I learned this after trying to figure out the best way to keep my car in neutral and keep the shock & tilt notification / alarm off.

Another Air parked near mine while we were at Fogo De Chao in Huntington Beach today …

The wheels are 29 pounds without tires. The fronts are 9.5” wide and the rears are 10”wide so I guess the difference in barrel weights are negligible. Also interestingly … 58 pounds with either the 265 or 285 wide tires installed. I’m very curious to see how the tire to fender gap looks...

This is actually a great idea. I think even Apple devices learn how to optimize charging overnight. But having an option to quick charge the car at home would be great on the connected charger.

No problems getting the tires mounted either … Now just waiting for Amazon to get here with ceramic coating for the wheels before I can install them. Need a very understanding spouse for this part …

Wheels arrived on schedule from Signature. Shipping boxes were nicely strapped and in great shape. On to the unboxing …

This is basic info for most of you but I thought I’d throw this out there as a PSA. The choice of outlet installed is the first line of defense for what is allowed to be attached. So keep in mind that whatever outlet is installed, it is “sized’ correctly for the circuit it is installed on...

That's the way I see it as well, it's probably not something covered under warranty (unless the existing chip fails). And it will probably not be something worth upgrading out of pocket either.

I’m also using an existing 14-30 outlet with the mobile charger right now until V2H is implemented. No point paying for the charging station and a panel upgrade that only does the same thing at the moment … which is provide an 80% charged car in the morning. Keep in mind that a 14-30 won’t...

I bet the first model will be fully loaded and all you get to pick are colors. ;)

Your concern makes sense depending on your situation. One possible hack for now might be to shut off Keep Mode remotely via app before walking to your car?

Interesting video clip I saw demonstrating tow charging an EV. Since the Air has better mi/kWh, can it recover more during regen braking?
