vs
Tires Tesla or OEM Toyota
Reviews
I seem to be getting around 45,000km per set of tyres on my Model 3 Performance.
Pros: 45000km per set
Mileage: 45000 km
my 2018 M3P is still on first set of tires (not OEM but i bought a new set, I specifically bought high tread wear rating tires, and sold OEM set right after i took delivery) and I'm almost 100k kilometers, it's being rotated with a set of snow tires but both sets still have plenty of life in them...
Pros: plenty of life
Mileage: 100000 km
2021 LR Y, got 68k miles on original tires. replaced 2 months ago. maybe its how or where you drive?
Pros: very long lifespan
Mileage: 109437 km
July of 2020 built LR Y with 34k miles and its been great. Definitely by far the best car I've owned. My 1st year I only drove it 7k miles, but then I bought a house 35 miles from my work and ended up putting on 27k miles in the last year.
My 1 and only complaint is it chews through tires, I replaced the factory set at around 20k miles, and 5k of those miles were on snow tires and they were rotated religiously. I've adjusted my driving habits a little (I have a heavy right foot, lol) and I think I might get 30k miles out of my current set.
Pros: best car I've owned
Cons: chews through tires
Mileage: 54000 km
My 21 MYLR delivered last September, and I’ve put on 23k mi since. Have had to replace windshield, tires, and got the trailer hitch installed. The road noise bothered me at first, but when I replaced the tires (larger all weather) that has significantly improved.
Pros: road noise improved
Cons: road noise bothered
Mileage: 37000 km
Mine is so great in the city, can whip a U-turn anywhere and gets 30-35 MPG no matter how you drive it. I am kind of sad you can't get cars like this anymore, but it is kind of hard to justify when something that's an order of magnitude more refined is only like $1500 more. But there is something fun about ripping around in something 153" long that only weighs 2300 lbs. It never needs brakes and doesn't eat up tires no matter how "spiritedly" I drive.
Pros: great in the city, fun
Cons: small, unrefined
Vehicle:
Toyota Yaris
I have a RWD LR Model 3 so my reply is based solely on this. I have never considered any other EV so I can't tell you about them.
\- I drive my son all over Ontario, Quebec, and the northern US for his sports year round. Sometimes to very rural areas. You'd be surprised where you come across charging stations.
\- You can change your habits to allow more efficiency in the winter: schedule your charging to complete around the time you plan to leave, try to make sure your battery is warm when you drive (see first point), always make sure the battery is warm when you charge, use your heated seats more than your HVAC, lower your driving speed to match the speed limit, etc.
\- my personal experience (22k KM on my car) is that you will no doubt experience some range loss in the winter. The colder it is, the worse it is. I would say on average I lost about 30% last winter but some of that is due to my heavy foot on the clear days.
\- I have put winter tires on every car I've owned in the last 25 years. So yes - I have them on my Model 3 and yes it handles like a dream in the snow.
Pros: handles like a dream
Cons: 30% range loss
Mileage: 22000 km
2 sets of rubber on her for a total of 40,000km in 18 months.
Pros: fun driving experience
Cons: frequent tire replacement
Mileage: 40000 km
Replaced all 4 tires about 2 years ago. Have only driven about 18,000 miles since then and already, my tread is down two just 2mm. This thing chews through tires like I’m in a NASCAR race.
Pros: car still drives great
Cons: chews through tires
Mileage: 83000 km
My MYP went 12k before replacement
Cons: short lifespan
Mileage: 19312 km
