Gotway Tesla flat change and new tire. Girls can too!

Opening up my Tesla to change inner tube due to a flat, also my original Tesla tire had 7000km on it and was worn out so I changed that too!
Followed some tutorials from youtube, was not that difficult after all, would not like to do it again tho, since you compromise the wheel everytime you do it (In my oppinion)

Petra demonstrates that she is the master of her wheel. She mods it and she can completely disassemble it and change the tire. This was an inspiring episode!

[@crystalrider]

Thank you 😊😊 I feel like an strong woman handeling myself! You always send such supportive texts, I appreciate it very much

[@sailam7248]

I heard the Tesla was one of the hardest wheel to change the tire and you did it with ease. I have a Tesla 1480wh coming and this video will help me in the future. Thanks for sharing!!

[@crystalrider]

Really? 😅 haha Nice! 1480wh Tesla is nice, extra battery is always nice! Niiice 🤪

[@narrowpath2980]

Best how to I’ve seen on you tube , to the point and without time consuming commentaries , a brilliant girl , what a treasure , I perceive your personality would be one as a diamond in the ruff , well done .

[@crystalrider]

Aww thank you 🥰 I just changed my tire on the tesla again. Looked back two times at my own video to see how I did some parts. So much easier the second time also 😅

[@narrowpath2980]

@@crystalrider always more soothing on the second time , nicer and gentle , very fulfilling .

[@old_trapper]

@@crystalrider oops ... think about using slime ... i have it in all tyres an it works great. Even after being spiked by major thornes u just need to pump up the tyre and check the pressure some km later, that's it.

[@crystalrider]

@@old_trapper been thinking about slime too, just have not gotten to it 😅 I tried slime after I got the flat, and that did not help tho

[@old_trapper]

@@crystalrider maybe a snakebite due to too low pressure and taking a curb ... then slime has got no chance. Finding slime ... amazon. Two years ago I was lucky on cybermondy and bought a gallon for 7 EUR ... much better than 0,4 l for 15 EUR :-) If you have the chance to breeze in I fill one tyre for free :-))

[@DK-nm9gu]

I have been riding 2500km with tesla. Now her tire is so worn on the side faces. Of course I will take my tesla to repair shop but your video encourages me to replace it for myself. Thanks.

[@crystalrider]

On the side? How did you do that? 😆 Replaced it yet? 😊

[@kristoferyffen5046]

Thanks for video. I will use this as a tutorial "when" I get flat tire on my Tesla V2. I tried changing my MCM5 2 years ago, but once I got to the white compound step that I had to remove to take off the cable, I gave up and sold it instead :P Next time I will also try to do it myself.

[@doctorbrown2313]

Maaan, that's a lot of damn wires to keep track of. What a freakin mission just to change a tire. I got tired just watching you do it. hahahaa. Mission accomplished though, mama. I love seeing girls who can handle their own business and get shizzz done on their own. Self reliance is a great feeling. Awesome job.

[@crystalrider]

Yes, I agree, its a nice feeling to be able to do things yourself 😊

[@opgenjutsu3123]

Didn't even break a nail xD I came across your videos because I was looking for Tesla teardown videos. Yours is one of the most helpful ones, thanks. Now I'm gonna binge watch the rest of your content like Netflix lol.

[@crystalrider]

Haha yeah. Thank you! Glad its helpful! Hope you enjoyed the rest of my content too 😊

[@hanswangnstvold435]

a thing that i often do when there is a lot of wires is just taking a picture, it has saved me a few times if i mess up the wiring. its good to see that the tesla has the control board at the top, it makes the wheel more balanced :)

[@crystalrider]

Yeah, I just like to be extra thorough. 😊

[@hakimlehaineu]

Not easy at all, good work miss 🙂 👏

[@mancbiker17]

Really well done! I don't think I know a single girl that would be willing to attempt that. At the end of the day it just requires patience and confidence :)

[@crystalrider]

Thank you, Ive always been a handy girl so this was no problem to me. 😊

[@goofynate9]

Ohhh ty for showin the tube installing part as well!

[@rainmutt3240]

I've watched other Tesla tire replacement vids & UR the only I remember who labels the wires before taking them apart. Moreover, lubricating the tire b4 removing & installing (to me) demonstrates either experience doing the same thing w/ bicycle tires or UR very intuitive. I don't remember if U checked if the tire needed to be installed according to the direction of the tread but I'm sure U did. U also did all this w/o breaking a nail !! Very impressive lol ! Also showed patience when a little frustrated by "backing off" for a time. Not many people have that within them. Anyway, I'm looking forward to buying my 1st EUC & am convinced it will a Tesla. Thanks to you and others I've watched on KZbin. U are all an inspiration !! And NOT because of UR gender but the skill all of U that I've watched. I'm unsure about what U mean about compromising the EUC. The only possible damage I can think of is when U pulled apart some of the wire connections, U pulled on the wire itself not the connector. I apologize, it's a pet peeve of mine. I've admonished friends & family when ever I observe them pulling on the cord to disconnect it from the wall socket instead of gripping the plug. I've had to repair my share of plug connectors because of this action. Again GREAT JOB Petra ! Safe travels and be safe !!

[@crystalrider]

I have picked up some things here and there that is good to know. I remember such things instead of things that is more important at that time 😅 The Tesla is a great starter wheel! Hope you will enjoy. And thank you for all the kinds words. And vy compromising I mean if you leave a wheel untouched there is not much you can do to damage it other than riding it. If you mess around with the inside you might damage something, break a cable, the motherboard, anything. But also its hard to assemble it back as original and then it can be more sensitive to water... hope you understand what i mean 😊 Come back and tell me when you get your first wheel!

[@whileistillcan9338]

Beautiful job Petra. You should be very proud of yourself for taking on that challenge and winning. I wish I could find a girl who liked to ride unicycles.Just Awesome!

[@Papalou1234]

Wow 👍🏻 it's amazing to know our own wheel! you are really skillfull! it's one of the reason i didn't want a tesla ended up with v8 and Nikola and now 2400km and tire change soon🤣. i made the jump and order the tesla 1480wh so my 14 years old son can ride with me! keep up the nice contents Petra👌🏻🤙🏻😎

[@crystalrider]

Lul. Well, I did the other way around tesla first, nikola on its way. Too bad the nikola tire is not that durable, its a nice tire to ride on. The Tesla 1480wh will be awesome! If mine broke, I would probably buy one. I think you will like it too, its a fun ride

well done Ive got just the Tesla 700kms that's impressive.Ive learnt it in 4 days here in Spain

[@crystalrider]

You can't possible mean you have ridden 700km in just a few days...? 😅 Impossible

[@Headhunterherman]

I have to say I sat and watched this whole video and even frustrated you got it done. Word of advice invest in a cordless drill it'll help next time. Determined and beautiful safe riding..

[@crystalrider]

Haha Thanks you. Thank you for the advice. Not a good enough reason for me to spend money on a drill tho, I am fine for now 😊

[@old_trapper]

@@crystalrider don't use electric drill ... the threads are partly pressed into the plastic or aluminum and a sensitive "screwdriver" could save you from a bigger mess ... especially at the pedal hangers. Once the female thread comes out together with the screw you are ... screwed :-) And if there is just a flat with a puncture in the tube there are tubes which are straight ... no circles, so you can change the tube without disassembling the weheel or unmounting tyre.

[@crystalrider]

@@old_trapper I know there is an "easier" way, I don't think I agree on that tho 😅 Also, I changed tire too, so I had to open up the whole thing anyway.

[@nickpardo5078]

Probably a lot of unnecessary disassembly just for a tire change but this is a really good tear down! For the tire change, you can manage by removing only the handle side of the shell. In doing it that way, you only need to disconnect and remove the battery on the handle side, no need to disconnect the motor, or remove the ring lights.

[@crystalrider]

I watched other videos when taking mike apart, I think I dont need to remove any battery actually. If I just thought instead I would probably just have figured it out myself. 😅 But its a scary thing, you don't want anything to go wrong or the wheel will break

[@eaglecott3806]

Thanks for the instruction video. I'll keep this one saved as I'm a beginner with the same wheel and will probably run into the same problem sooner or later :-)

well done, Petra

[@crystalrider]

Thank you 😊

[@td1487]

Oh man. Just got a flat on my Tesla today. Seeing what a pain in the butt it is to remove the tire I really wish I added slime from the beginning. Did you do this for yours? Also what part of the wheel do you think is compromised in the repair? Good job. Think I will have to record as I go too. For sure there is a high margin to f this up! Thanks for uploading.

[@crystalrider]

If one is used to doing things simillar to this, then this will be easy. I have no slime in my tires. If you are carefull you can't break anything really. But I found the hardest thing was to remove all the plastic parts, ya know the shell. If you are not carefull you will break some connection points. Idk if I explain so you understand... lul

[@mikeintampa250]

Hi Petra, this was incredible to watch. You are far braver than me because it had like a thousand pieces keep track of. I felt like I was watching an autopsy, LOL. But I'm proud of you for having enough courage to take on the task and then doing it. I'm glad everything works again. Question, I know you replaced the tire, but it looked like you used the same tube and wasn't it the tube that was actually punctured? Did a new tube come with a new tire?

[@crystalrider]

Thank you! I think these thing is kind of fun to do anyway. I replaced the tube aswell yes, I waited 15 days for it to arrive, lol. The tire I have had a while, bought them seperetly

[@mikeintampa250]

@@crystalriderafter seeing all that work, I've got to slime, LOL

[@mikeintampa250]

@@crystalrider Hi Petra, I think I was hesitant to slime the Tesla because I thought it might throw off the balance of the wheel somehow. But this morning coincidentally a new video was posted by a guy with a lot of experience who literally just unboxed a Tesla v2 and the first thing he did was slime it and he went into detail about how he did it and how much you used. So that gave me the confidence to slime it and he had the same slime that I had as there are different variations of it and I didn't have the proper tools so I use the core remover built into the cap of the slime, LOL. I thought I screwed it up, but it's working fine and now I don't have to worry so much about popping the tire. The guy that made the video said that he owns a lot of wheels and sliming is the first thing he does when he unboxes has any of them. Do you think you're going to do that to the Nikola?

[@crystalrider]

@@mikeintampa250 Yeah you are talking about Marty Backe right? He is known to always slime his wheels first thing 😅 I will see if I slime my wheels. Have not thought about it yet

[@mikeintampa250]

@@crystalrider Yes, it was Marty & it was so coincidental that he just released a video yesterday where he was sliming a Tesla V2 and that's the one I have that I was questioning whether to do it on.

Very cool! Respect! Many wires do not need to be marked ))) Also mach safer to use plastic tools for plastic parts ;-) And some of the manipulations shown in the video are optional when replacing the tire ) But anyway very nice video )

I have 8000km + on my wheel and still ride around with it like it was still new. I have changed my tire once tho, and it will be needed around 5000km perhaps. I got my Tesla (V1 2019 edition) in august 2019. I will ride my Telsa til it dies 😅

I want to tell you that my V8 tire is flat. And it was not necessary to disassemble the wheel or disconnect the electrical circuits. It is sufficient to remove the tire with 2 flat screwdrivers; put the patch on and re-insert the tire. Inflate the tire and GO !!!

[@crystalrider]

Nice that you found a way to make it easy for you. 😊 I filled my tube with puncture repair spray and it did not help so I did not want to patch up that tube anyway. For me a tube with a hole is a defect tube and I can never trust a patch to hold. Patching tubes on my bike never worked also, got flats all the time.
