    Any Regret Going Moving To 37"s?

    There should be very few circumstances where 35's keep you from doing what you need off-road. My 4Runner and Range Rover prior to this both had 33's and I had plenty of clearance and tire/sidewall to off-road where I wanted. The way I see it, now I have an additional 2" (with my 35's) so there...

    Shudder / vibration while stopped in drive?

    Interesting. I'll try blipping the throttle next time it happens to see if it goes away. I did try shifting it into neutral which doesn't help. Shifting to park actually does end up making it go away, but I didn't look at the RPM to see if/how that changed.

    Paddle shifters not working

    Did you install it yourself? If so, can you disconnect and reconnect the connectors to ensure they're seated properly?

    Gen3 Off-road spare parts

    Didn't make it to the 2nd line :shrug: Things I replied with are 100x more likely to be needed than spare parts of the vehicle. Maybe focus your energy on the "hookers and blow" and "beers and capri sun" replies ;)

    Gen3 Off-road spare parts

    Traction devices (e.g. Maxtrax), kinetic recovery rope + rope shackles, shovel, Hi-Lift, extra tire (or two depending on the seriousness of the trip), water, fuel, first-aid kit, and axe.

    Gen 3 Common issues we are now seeing

    Two times now I've gotten in the car on a cold morning after remote starting and: First time: it had turned the seat coolers on max and turned the AC on as though it thought the vehicle was too hot inside Second time: no seat coolers or A/C on, but even after the engine was nice and warm (15...

    Shudder / vibration while stopped in drive?

    Assuming stable idle RPMs, what would cause this to happen sometimes and not other times? It's about a 50/50 split for me and if it happens at the first stop light or stop sign it will continue at every stop for that drive. Other times it doesn't happen at my first stop and continues not...

    Recommendation - Roadtrippin' Tire Pressure 35"

    My tire pressures have been at 40-42psi (depending on temperature) since I picked it up from the dealer. Guess I should decrease that. I left it as-is because I ran 40-41 with KO2s on my previous Range Rover Sport and several chalk tests showed that was a good pressure. Will have to redo the...

    Road trip with a family of 5 over 3500 miles and 12 days. How does the Raptor hold up?

    Fingers crossed that one of those nation states has a support group for "Victims of Other People Buying The Vehicle That Works Best For Them" :P

    Road trip with a family of 5 over 3500 miles and 12 days. How does the Raptor hold up?

    We have friends who live in apartments that only own an EV. There are a few charging solutions that work in that situation: 1. Newer apartment complexes have EV chargers 2. Workplace charging 3. Weekly trip to a Supercharger, which is usually near a Target or grocer store, so they charge while...

    Road trip with a family of 5 over 3500 miles and 12 days. How does the Raptor hold up?

    Wife and I use the Raptor for longer trips longer than 50-100 miles and use our Model 3 for shorter trips particularly stuff around town. It works out pretty well for us, but there are definitely still times where we'd normally take the Model 3 and we drive the Raptor instead because it's still...

    Road trip with a family of 5 over 3500 miles and 12 days. How does the Raptor hold up?

    Do you dispose of your exhaust as well? Last I checked, you simply fart it into the air like I do :)

    Road trip with a family of 5 over 3500 miles and 12 days. How does the Raptor hold up?

    I owned an R1S for a couple of weeks (sold it because my wife didn't want an EV that large) and can provide some feedback: - Oversteer: never experienced it - Infotainment: lack of CarPlay / Android Auto was a huge miss. Friend of mine is a director of engineering there and I've told him this...

    Looking forward to you posting pictures of the multitude of oil spills and reports of wide spread environmental damage from them ;)

    Road trip with a family of 5 over 3500 miles and 12 days. How does the Raptor hold up?

    I'd double check where you're getting your "science" from ;) This is like saying "ICE owners should be responsible for the proper exhaust disposal."

    Road trip with a family of 5 over 3500 miles and 12 days. How does the Raptor hold up?

    So the situation is this: you have no idea what it's like to own and use an EV, yet you have a very, very strong opinion about what it's like to own and use an EV. That's weird.

    Road trip with a family of 5 over 3500 miles and 12 days. How does the Raptor hold up?

    This post was worth a good chuckle. We've taken our ~311 mile range Model 3 on a couple of 750-1,000 mile road trips and it was fine. Surprising amount of room (even more in the Model Y) and Supercharger network meant sub-30 min charging stops (not hours), which gave us ample time to go to the...

    Anyone running Cooper AT3 XLTs?

    When I checked tirerack or something like that the 315/70R17 KO2 was 65lb and AT3W were 73lb. Guess that weight relationship doesn't hold true at the 37" size?

    Anyone running Cooper AT3 XLTs?

    I emailed Cooper and they confirmed the 315/70R17 is not 3PMSF certified :( I asked them if they have any plans to do a C load range version or get 3PMSF certification. Waiting on a response. Edit: they said no plans for a C load range. Did not answer about 3PMSF.

    Anyone running Cooper AT3 XLTs?

    I've driven through 2x sub-10˚ blizzards with obscene road conditions (aka they sent out an armada of plows, dirt/salt trucks, and tow truck escorts to unblock a 6 hour traffic jam in the mountains) with the AT3 4S (275/55R20) and was pretty blown away by how well they did compared to my...

    Iconic Silver Club Gen 3 Raptor

    Benefits to silver: 1. Stays almost as clean-looking as white without looking like you're a random work truck 2. Shows body lines well 3. Stays a little cooler on sunny days especially if you have ceramic tint all-around

    Anyone running Cooper AT3 XLTs?

    They aren't 3PMSF? The AT3 4S I had were 3PMSF and they were amazing in snow/sleet/ice. And yeah, Falken are way too heavy per tire for me to be interested in them. edit: seems like only some sizes of AT3 XLT have the 3PMSF certification while others are M+S even though the design is the same...
