Tires Tesla or DEXTER
For the 2023 MYP I have, I mean… No real maintenance aside from the tires and windshield wiper fluids.
Haven’t had to change brakes or battery so far. No major rattles.
Pros: no major rattles, rock solid
I've had my model 3 for 7 years now and the only thing I've ever done is change tires
Pros: only changed tires
Love the traction and the control I have with M3P on my winter setup.
However, we had our first serious snow last night. The crappy roads, coupled with the low (mid-20’s F) killed my charge way faster than expected. I’m not too worried about it since I mainly charge at home but I only got about 340 wh/mile instead of my usual 260 or so over about 200 miles doing uber.
Pros: good traction and control
Cons: charge drains faster
Mileage: 321 km
Used the plan for my rear of my M3P. They replaced the single tire. Car was less than 1 mo old so the others were same depth as new. In fact the 3 original tires that remain are a newer production date than what was replaced.
Pros: saved myself $500
Cons: argue the case
I replaced my aging Toyota Tacoma with a Cybertruck. When it finally came out, I was a bit disappointed with the Cybertruck’s range stats. I didn’t realistically expect it to have the full 500 miles promised in 2017, but when I finally bought mine a couple of months ago, my range expectations were admittedly low, but the actual range I got was impressive. Add to that the truck has the largest bed of the available full sized electric trucks, plus drive by wire, rear wheel steering, 48 volt architecture, etc., I am pretty happy. My biggest gripe was the lack of a spare tire.
Pros: impressive actual range
Cons: lack of a spare tire
F250 diesel guy here for 35 years in construction. I sold my last truck and moved to the model S. I was so impressed with the S that I bought a Foundation Cyberbeast. I use it like a truck maxing it out with no problems ever. I just finished a loaded 2500 km road trip this week. Range anxiety is a thing of the past. Believe the Tesla estimated range on the screen and charge when it says to. Simple and fun to drive. A sports-car truck. It does more than my diesel and powers my cottage for 5 days to boot. I did pick up a nail but that was easily fixed roadside with a plug and pistol grip inflator.
Pros: Simple and fun to drive
Mileage: 2500 km
I always get the budget "Dextero" brand from WalMart for my personal vehicles, and they seem to last just fine. Sometimes I have to take them to a real tire shop for re-balance, but most of the time it's fine from the WalMart TLE.
Pros: good longevity
Cons: needs re-balancing
I can say their cheap "Dextero" tires are a reasonably solid chineseum tire. I think they're badged as 40-45k tires but really they're usually closer to 25-30k.
Pros: reasonably solid
Cons: wear out faster than advertised
I just took delivery of a 26 Model Y Performance. It has 21 inch wheels with rubber bands for tires. It took 6 hours and 100 miles before I hit a pothole and dented the rim and split the tire sidewall. Crap!
Pros: wheel and tire coverage
Cons: rim dented, tire split
Mileage: 161 km
Tires are a joke! I had a flat on a 2026 Juniper model and they gave me a reservation for three weeks out! I went to a discount tire bought their road hazard warranty for three years for $29 a tire done ✅ canceled my Tesla one plus I get faster service
Pros: faster service
Cons: slow service, joke
