So what was your efficiency improvement with lowering the height of the front of the car and smaller diameter tires? Can you express it in KW/Hrs per mile gained.
What do you think of doing that same change for Model Y. Might even go for 18 inch tires?
On top of the efficiency improvements that you elaborated upon, the lowering of the car along with those new wheels adds class to the look! Nicely done!
To really know if the new wheels increased your range, you have to determine your average power consumption over multiple identical trips at similar speeds and conditions, then change the wheels and do it again multiple times ... and compare. If you change more than one thing (ie: lower the suspension and change the wheels), then you can't be sure what is causing the improvement, if any. Just saying. At the end of the day, unless we just like the "look" of the new wheels, We would need to know if they improve range enough to justify the purchase ... and in that regard, your video does not deliver.
wheels look fantastic! I am waiting for my Model Y to be delivered will consider them down the road after I am all settled in with my Model Y thanks great video
Great informative vid and collab! Nice looking wheels 🔥🔥🔥🔥👀 love the thumbnail 🙌🏼🤣
I run staggered 275 rear/245 front 19” wheels and sticky tires. With 80,000mi now, I’ve averaged 300wh/mi. To me it’s worth the efficiency hit for the better handling and braking.
Brave man running staggered. Looks amazing I’m sure.
@@TeslaRaj in BMW’s at least, staggered setups also reduce the tram-lining effect where wide tires want to follow groves on highways.
What a friend did instead of buying expensive wheels…… he lost 300 lbs. now his car is more efficient 👍🏼😊
😂🤣😂 hey props to them! Weight is another huge factor
I am averaging 205 kw/h on my 2022 mode 3 RWD with standard tires. Talk about efficiency. That’s after 1,600 miles. Got pics to prove it.
Took 18 Martian wheels, light and great for performance m3
Oh for sure 18s going to give you even better efficiency.
I have the 18 martian wheels. Love them
I love this Raj! These are the same goals I'm looking to do with my 3P. Looks, efficiency, sound dampening and range. Thank you!
I forgot to ask about the Eibach lowering springs. How's the ride? More comfy? Do they squeak?
I have these 19“ TNA smooth stealth ET32 on my white Model 3. These play on the same level like the Aero wheels with caps, but feels more solid and quieter.
Great presentation. Nice to see you again
Moved from 235/45-18 primacy’s to 215/50-18 Quadrac 5 on my winter / road trip Aero Gen 1 wheels (I run 255/35-20 PS4S on ZeroG for summer) and efficiency went from 286Wh/mi to 272Wh/mi on my P3 (for reference, 20” setup runs 314Wh/mi but I drive less conservative on them 🤪
Very happy with these rims and have driven with one season and it is lower consumption compared to Tesla original rims of 18 inches.
love the video! where do you check energy efficiency? i got the 19" on my Plaid but they looked bad so i took the cover off.
I’m looking at the trips menu. Looking at overall usage is hard because of so many variables. Best is to do a repeatable trip with same time of day, weather and hvac settings for a even more precise measurement.
Great video as always Raj! Didnt see the link to the lowering eibach springs. I have been debating back n forth whether to get them. How does that affect your warranty? I like the way yours look not too low at all. I have a 2020 m3 sr+

An excellent video like always. How much did all this cost you?
So how many miles improved?
Raj,
Another great video, so many great details; I especially liked the collaboration with Ricky! Maybe Ricky could qualify benefit gained by lowering the 3/Y's by 1" 👍
One thing that came to mind was, what are the optimal tire pressures for daily driving and road trips? With such low lifespans for tires on Tesla's, I'd imagine someone has done refinements to the standard manual pressure callouts?
Cheers,
Eric
I’m curious how much the 19 cast aero’s weigh.
But is it the wheel size or the overall tire diameter that matters?
i have been wanting those wheels in silver for my 2015 titanium MS 85D How much in dollars are those wheels
Do you drive model 3 performance?
The TNAs look much, much, much better than your previous rims!
I think you are nuts. These are horrid. The turbine rims are way better.
What is the cost of those wheels and tires? How many miles do you need to drive for payback?
In my 90 d facelift included?
Can you post a link for that neck pillow?

You don't know the actual improvement from the tires and wheels because you lowered the entire car too! I would hazard a guess that the lowering accounted foe 75% of your improvement. The lowering probably cost about the same, or less, than the tires and wheels. Do you have any cost figures to see which change costs the least AND gives the most efficiency improvement?
The link is not working to contact wheel manufacture
Fixed. It added spaces for some reason
For the wheels
Raj, what does this mean in cost for the wheels each? $509.50 each? 5.095$ Price incl. VAT. (Price excl. VAT 4.076$ )…I’m confused. Thanks
I'm sure Franz doesn't have to clean EVERY interior surface of those rims, also are they true directional rims with lefts and rights..??
The center caps should have an options of RED color 👍👍👍
You said that the bigger wheels are wider, this is not necessarily true. Your 20" tires are not wider than my 18" tires. And lowering just isn't worth it in my opinion, I'd rather take the hit in efficiency than rubbing on certain streets. But I'd love to get that wheel/rim combo you got, but they're so freaking expensive.
The best thing for better mileage is slower driving and higher tire pressure. My 18" tires can easily hold 50psi safely. Yes, the ride is a bit rougher but I don't mind that.
Nice
Efforts to measure efficiency improvement by lowering the car have been marginal at best. I experimented years ago with my S using the air suspension travel of about 2 inches. I couldn't reliably measure any notable difference. The larger wheels on all Tesla models reduce range, so much that Tesla changes the range spec. You might think the shorter side wall on the larger tires would be stiffer and possibly roll with less friction. Apparently not? Their frontal area is bigger but most is shielded in the wheel well so I wonder how much that matters. One aspect that no one mentions is the larger wheel changes the drive ratio. The motor will turn slower and require more torque for a given speed. It seems that should be a small effect but maybe it is part of the loss. Good wind tunnel testing or fluid dynamic modeling might tell us more. In the mean time don't bother lowering your car to save energy or increase range. It won't pay for itself.
But u can’t argue it looks better! 😉
@@TeslaRaj The wheels look good until you hit your first pothole. Around here they don't look good for long. The ride and the tire longevity suffer from short side wall. I don't much care what the car looks like - it is my servant. I bought it for the experience, not the appearance. In California you are what you drive less so around here.
God dam it, your Tesla looks good! Those wheels are really sexy, I think the overhaul package looks Brilliant!
Link not working
Fixed!
235 kWh mi now after 8k miles
Undoubtedly, wheels are proven scientifically but aesthetically need more work. I am not gonna sacrifice the contrast- white rims bring to my Black M3.
I love how this video is really useful btw I'm kinda first
My oem Tesla slipstream 19 wheels weight less 2,45kg than these wheels, the oem are far more effective
I average 300wh/mi 😅😦
I'm surprised that not once did you mention WEIGHT or your driving habits. Reduce weight and you gain efficiency. Replace the lead-acid 12V with a lithium battery. Drive less aggressive and you will gain efficiency. I love most of your videos but this one in nothing more than a "sell job" (springs, rims, tires) without any substance.
Keep in mind though your goals for buying the car. Teslas are incredibly powerful and fun to drive. If hypermiling is your thing, I would think you'd choose something else besides a Tesla.
Not a fan of those wheels
Those rims are horrid. They might improve efficiency but ugly as hell.
