I understand the pain with both of you who just commented above me! I wish there was a tire dealer who would let you rent tires for like 30 minutes 😂 Would make the decision so much easier to back to back test the different tires you're thinking about then buy the ones you like right there at...
Interesting. Good to know, but I think I'm just too stupid to find more info. I've tried googling like 10 different things and can't seem to find a link to any retailer that sells them so I can look at them more. Can you help me out?
Also, FWIW, I talked to my local Costco yesterday and they...
Appreciate the insight! It does seem like both will fix flats, rotate, etc for free so your point about # of locations is very valid. Good to know DT price matches, too. Have you gotten the tire certificates (insurance) from DT before? Worth it or no?
Appreciate all of the discussion from everyone! I think I've made my decision - but feel free to poke holes in my thinking if anyone disagrees. It came down to:
1) Tesla OEM ATs
2) Falken Wildpeaks
3) Defender LTX platinums
Dropped the Tesla ATs quickly just because it would require a 4.5 hour...
Very good point. I think for me the biggest downside of the OEM ATs is I'm 2.5 hours from the closest service center, so it's a lot easier for me to get tires here locally 😕 I wonder if mobile service will deliver them and then I can get them installed locally?
This seems really compelling...
I'm looking for thoughts/opinions from people who have replaced their OEM tires. I have about 20k miles on my core tires and it's about time to replace them. I've looked at a lot of the common recommendations - K03, Falkens, Toyos, Duratrac, but haven't seen much comparison (I have searched lots...
Initial update after coating yesterday:
I have no idea how some of you guys are doing it in just a few hours ? I started around 8am and wrapped up at 6:30 in the evening. My car was already in decent shape, so maybe I just spent too much time on the BKF polishing part. Started with a full wash...
I'll definitely post an update after I do it this weekend. He does mention in his video that after he uses the polisher he will check for high spots by hand after. So, it does sound like the polisher isn't perfect. I'll definitely be checking by hand polishing after the DA polisher!
This is really helpful! I was actually going to order 2 bottles of it because I thought I wouldn't have enough, but glad to hear it's more than enough for the whole truck. Also surprised at how quick it was, I was planning on blocking off an entire Saturday to do it.
Did you use a polisher? If...
Well - I think I have my answer! Regardless of my doubts about CLEAN, I'm going to end up trying it since there's at least been a few people here reporting success with it. This is the message I got from Adam's this morning when I asked about using their coating on the truck:
"Some customers...
Totally agree. I love having the exterior just be a tank and nothing messes it up, but as it's gotten warmer out I have a bug salad on my front bumper every single day. If I don't clean them off immediately it just becomes a pain. So I have to get some kind of coating for my sanity ? I am very...
Interesting. Maybe I'm reading too much into everything and should just try CLEAN. I'd read things alleging Pan has been deceptive in much of his content and marketing, and that paired with the relative newness of his product (so no long term testing results) was starting to make me a little shy...
Hi all - I am planning on a DIY ceramic coat soon. I feel confident in doing it after watching Out of Spec's 2 hour long video on how to detail the truck. However, after looking at some reviews online of the ceramic coating he recommends (CLEAN by Pan the Organizer) I'm a little skeptical. Then...
Maybe I am just really misunderstanding what Tesla says they are offering, but I thought it would function like in the video below where you could see the entire library of sentry clips, dash cam, etc on your phone and then save clips.
Are you talking about the text based notification that says that? If so, I do get those. About once a day my truck won't realize my phone key is near and when I try and open the door I'll get an alert saying that someone tried to open the door. I'm talking specifically about the ability to view...
If I'm wrong about this apologies in advance. But, sentry mode preview clips have been available for multiple months now for iPhone users, correct? From all of my searching online it seems like the feature still has not rolled out to Android. I'm typically pretty patient, but around a half a...
No problem at all. Best advice I can give you is try and forget it's there. I'm the kind of person that gets super nervous with error messages like this, but odds are that your truck is completely fine and there's no need to stress. Drive and enjoy the truck :) It is such a bummer that it...
One final update on this for anyone seeing/searching for this in the future. I had my SC visit yesterday. When I first got there the SC advisor told me that they had just (probably within a day or two) gotten info from Tesla about this problem. I don't remember exactly how he worded it, but he...
