In today's video, I perform a front-to-back tire rotation on my Tesla Model 3. I also replace a leaking tire repair plug with a replacement plug.

After doing some further research, I realized I was incorrect in stating that the Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires that come with the Model 3 are directional. These tires are actually not directional; however, in the manual Tesla recommends performing only front-to-rear rotations, which is what I showed here.

Great video. Thanks for showing all the steps including jacking.

@derekwhite5090 Год назад

Nice clear articulate explanation. One jack lifts front and back simultaneously….Brilliant, thats so useful to know.

thank you so much bro! tesla wanted to charge 150 for a leak and 400 for a new tire. roadside asist would only tow to tesla!! i saved $130 + plus they charge now for tire rotations!! one caveat....on a tesla (unlike a conventonal car ) you dont have to break the bolts before lifting because as long as the car is parked it locks the wheels automatically. tney dont freely spin. cheers bro! and super thanks again! ....sorry, also size was 21 mm socket for our y model, and yes, you definitely need a low profile floor jack with the disks ($20 on amazon) to to the job safely. 😊

I used to do this on my cars but have been thinking about doing it on my Tesla. Great video!

@ledzeppelin1212 Год назад

Good video, man. Thanks! I'd prefer to cross the tires to the other side, but that's hard to do with a Tesla.

I subscribed purely because the channel name was so well chosen. Looking forward to reviewing your content. Also, I lift my car the same way to rotate or swap my wheels.

Good video bro

@2WatchAndComment Год назад

That answer the question how to rotate tires. I didn't know one point would lift the whole side. might want to tell people to chalk the other side's tires. can never be too safe.

Thanks for kind sharing ! Is your Jack Stand 2-ton ? or might it require more to support Model 3 ?

@DielectricVideos 22 дня назад

@@3bmbm3 I was using 3-ton stands, so each should be adequate to support the 4054 lb curb weight. Since the car isn't balanced entirely on one jack stand, there is also plenty of safety margin on 3-ton jack stands.

129 ft pounds is the factory spec? Dang Im used to 76ft lbs.

Which product did you use for that incredible shine?! That paint is gleaming!

@DielectricVideos 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! I used Turtle Wax 53409 Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating before filming this! More recently I've been off-roading and have gotten some pinstripes from the plants, so the paint is not quite so nice now, haha!

Directional tires? News to me.

@DielectricVideos Год назад

I actually just looked this up, and Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires aren't directional. Tesla recommends front to rear rotation only in their manual, and I assumed it was due to directionality. However, it would seem there is some other reason for the recommendation. I'll make a pinned comment about this shortly.

How have the 18" wheels and tires been? I assume they ride better than 19s. Any rubbing or other odd issues?

@DielectricVideos 9 месяцев назад

These are actually the stock wheels that came with the car, so I don't have a reference to compare them against. It would be interesting to compare them against a different diameter.

@suvari225 Год назад

Were the jack stands okay under the jack pads?

@DielectricVideos Год назад

They didn't seem to cause any damage. If you're concerned about them, you could keep most of the weight on the hydraulic jack and just keep the jack stand in place for safety.

@michaelc4866 Год назад

@@DielectricVideosI saw puck shape adapters that can be put on these jack stands, I wasn't sure if they're needed. But it looks like you placed these jack stands parallel to the side and didn't do any damage. So perhaps those puck adapters aren't necessary?

@DielectricVideos Год назад

@@michaelc4866 You could probably get away without them, but I think it's better to put most of the weight on the pucks in order to avoid deforming the metalwork.

How is the nfc+rfid chip doing 🤔

@DielectricVideos Год назад

It's been fantastic! I haven't had any physiological or functionality problems with it in the past 2 years. I use the NFC regularly to share contact info and website info, and occasionally for access control, though I haven't used the RFID part much. I can also attest to the electrical ruggedness of the implant, as I work regularly with high-powered RF equipment as well as induction heating equipment, and I have not had any problems with the implant's performance deteriorating.

@cowboyfpv2464 Год назад

@@DielectricVideos dam im so glad to hear this and how affective it has been for you ive been a bit hesitant to get one but I think I'm sold on getting one now Have you noticed any mobility issues or discomfort with the implant, like can is it notable in your day to day 🤔

@DielectricVideos Год назад

@@cowboyfpv2464 For the first couple of weeks I would occasionally feel some pressure in the area, but even just a couple of days after insertion I had no problems using large hand tools such as shovels and pliers. Even from day 1 I had full range of motion. After the first couple weeks I noticed no detectable difference at all.

I prefer to fix the puncture with a mushroom plug. It seems much more secure: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E0Xi-EWmwxs.htmlsi=d7QFa1mqxKt9pD7o
