  • 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.

    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 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.

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

      @@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.

    when you get a flat tire how on earth will a jack fit under it then if it just barely fits when fully inflated?

    • @DielectricVideos
      @DielectricVideos  5 дней назад +1

      @@jamfamreptiles1286 Lifting from the opposite front/rear lift point would allow the entire side of the car to be raised. If there is still insufficient clearance, you could forgo the rubber puck and lift directly on the steel, which is not ideal but would get you an extra inch or so of clearance. If both tires are flat on the same side, you could drive it carefully onto a piece of dimensional lumber or round curb to get clearance. There are always ways! :D

    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.

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

    • @DielectricVideos
      @DielectricVideos  10 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.

    • @DielectricVideos
      @DielectricVideos  2 года назад +1

      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.

      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.

      ​@@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?

    Directional tires? News to me.

    • @DielectricVideos
      @DielectricVideos  2 года 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.

    I prefer to fix the puncture with a mushroom plug. It seems much more secure:
