M18 inflator from Milwaukee will do Semi truck tires so should be good for CT and costs 179$ at Home Depot. It's what I use on my vehicles and work like a charm. It's small too.
This wiper issue is the only thing holding me back. Otherwise I'd buy with the current price and incentives. Really hoping Tesla finds a solution for this. Our local Facebook group in Quebec is full of people with the same issue.
If I'm not mistaken, those load ratings are for 1 tire. That would then be 3748lb x 4=14992 lbs maximum load carrying capacity for those tires. That should be more than enough for every CT variation sold now.

Rivian is a cool company and they have really cool quality products.
For my usecase, the CT is perfect but we have a model 3 as a second vehicle. If Rivian is still alive in 3-4 years and they are cash flow positive, I might consider the R3x as a second vehicle. That tri-motor little thing...
Have you guys measured the distance between the jack points, front to back? I'm evaluating lift choices and that info would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your work on CT, you give lots of great information in your CT "dissection" videos.
I've run Nokians on my vehicles for a while now and love their snow tires. I'd very much like to get a set for my CT when it gets here in Canada.
Would it be OK to run 275-65-R20 snow tires instead of the OEM size 285-65-R20...
Yea not bad for steel wheels but I'd still prefer the look of the OEM wheel without cover. For my winter wheels, I'll go with some other alloy wheels. For my Model 3, I've been really satisfied with my RTX spider gunmetal. They change the car's look completely.
They look badass and didn't cost...
Honestly, if you need to tow any significant weight, the GM trucks seem to be better options (Silverado EV, Sierra EV). You'd lose out on some great features IMO but you'll gain quite a bit of towing range. See silverado EV videos.
For me, towing is not in the plans so I'd rather get a CT...
So this confirms that the all terrain premium tire Tesla will be putting on by default for CT will be that new Duratrac...
I ran Duratracs on my Grand cherokee during the couple years I had it. They were a pretty good tire. I even ran them during the winter (and we have harsh winters here in...
