Tires Tesla or OEM Honda

Tesla Tires

My 21 MYLR delivered last September, and I’ve put on 23k mi since. Have had to replace windshield, tires, and got the trailer hitch installed. The road noise bothered me at first, but when I replaced the tires (larger all weather) that has significantly improved.

Pros: road noise improved
Cons: road noise bothered
Mileage: 37000 km

I have a RWD LR Model 3 so my reply is based solely on this. I have never considered any other EV so I can't tell you about them.

\- I drive my son all over Ontario, Quebec, and the northern US for his sports year round. Sometimes to very rural areas. You'd be surprised where you come across charging stations.

\- You can change your habits to allow more efficiency in the winter: schedule your charging to complete around the time you plan to leave, try to make sure your battery is warm when you drive (see first point), always make sure the battery is warm when you charge, use your heated seats more than your HVAC, lower your driving speed to match the speed limit, etc.

\- my personal experience (22k KM on my car) is that you will no doubt experience some range loss in the winter. The colder it is, the worse it is. I would say on average I lost about 30% last winter but some of that is due to my heavy foot on the clear days.

\- I have put winter tires on every car I've owned in the last 25 years. So yes - I have them on my Model 3 and yes it handles like a dream in the snow.

Pros: handles like a dream
Cons: 30% range loss
Mileage: 22000 km

I have a 2005 with just over 75k miles. Bought 5 years ago with 19k miles. I'm averaging 19.64 mpg. Most expensive repair have been 4 new tires after 50k miles.

Pros: repairs are cheap
Cons: mpg go down
Mileage: 120700 km

My wife DDs a 2007 Fit. It has been bulletproof with only regular oil changes and tires. The folding rear seats are one of the highlights of the car and make it extremely versatile. It gets 35+ mpg all day long and handles like a go kart. She loves it.

Pros: extremely versatile, handles like go kart
Vehicle: Honda Fit
