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...
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.
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 ;)
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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?
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.
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...
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
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...
