How to Change a Wheel on a Tesla Model 3

[@emmawang1999]

I am a lady watching this. Very helpful. Local shops do not want to handle Tesla.

[@EloyZuniga]

The fact that you still have writable CD's, that's amazing.

[@KPhan]

That’s because I’m an old man. 😅

[@l31007]

You actually reminded me to back up some of my stuff on double layer 8GB DVD. Hard drives crash or files may get corrupted from malware. Cant overwrite a closed DVD. 😊

[@annakelly9850]

Good rule of thumb is to loosen the "Locking" lug nut first...

[@PotatoesFromSaturn]

I use to work at an auto shop and this drive me crazy 😂

[@spacep0d]

Great vid. You should put all of your tools (including your homemade Tesla Jack Pucks) into the description.

[@-ChristianRF]

If I am swapping to a new set of rims and tires, are there any specific instructions to reprogram the TMS sensors? thanks

[@sideshowdan]

I generally torque in the star pattern. As you mentioned don't forget to retorque after a few miles. I've made that mistake. Good video and I appreciate the tip on the torque wrench storage. Didn't know that.

[@KPhan]

Thanks for reminding me about torqueing again after a few miles! Definitely need to leave a mini checklist to glance over for whenever we do this once in a blue moon. :)

[@sideshowdan]

@@KPhan Spoken like a good pilot. Checklists are the key to successful takeoffs, flights and landings.

[@mustachio2]

Why is it important to retorque? I've been changing my own tires for years - my dad taught me and I never heard about that. What's the reason behind that? If it's tight it's tight no?

[@spacep0d]

@@mustachio2 Vibration tends to make things loose. Good to check again after install (in about 50 miles).

[@JR-zj6dh]

The M3 frame is pretty ridged. While rotating tires front to rear I was able to jack the rear up high enough that the front tire came off the ground too. Cut the job time in half.

[@spacep0d]

*Rigid

[@112ENG]

You didn’t tighten in a star pattern when you tightened the lugs then you didn’t torque them in a star pattern and how does the TPMS resync to the new wheel? You should also put chock-blocks behind both rear or front wheels. Good video in general thank you!

[@DIYDharma]

You should never loosen the lug nuts with a power tool. Tesla manual specifically states this. You should loose them with a breaker bar and after lifting the wheel, then you can use power tools to completely remove them.

[@kenfaulkner9520]

Where can I find the jack adapter?

[@alexlustneim820]

WOW! I didn't know about the emergency handbrake. I assumed it's always applied when car is parked.

[@KPhan]

Yes! You can always apply it for extra peace of mind. Especially when parking on an inclined.

[@Eavind]

Maybe read the manual ;)

Is it true that only Tesla or it’s partners can change a tire?

[@AsneakyPoptart]

Thanks for the video, Khoa! I'll be switching out my summer for winter tires in a few weeks so I was curious if it was any different for a Model 3.

[@KPhan]

I need to replace my tires. It’s barely a year and only 5/32” tread left. O_o

[@zarasbubble1748]

Do Tesla provide the wheel nut with the car? Also can you buy the black jack pads ready-made? 🤔

[@KPhan]

Hello. Wheel nut? Do you mean the Aero Cap Kit? No, you have to buy that separately ($50) if you want to remove the Aero Wheel Covers. shop.tesla.com/product/model-3-aero-wheel-cap-kit You can buy many Jack Pads already professional made. One of the best brand to me is the Reverse Logic. I find it was cheaper to make them yourself. jackpad.us/tesla www.abstractocean.com/jack-adaptors/

This is old and u probably wont see this but if you do, can i just get a regular tire from any tire store as a spare? I dont want to pay someone 60 bucks to install my tire for me when i could in 5 minutes

[@doozefeevah]

As long as the rim and tire are the same size you should be good

[@Max_ellis74]

You don’t have to put the lug nuts on the studs in the star pattern only when your tightening the lug nuts and torquing. Don’t torque wheel locks.

[@jolibwamusic272]

You should because it’ll hold the tire not to move

[@manny9323]

You absolutely torque wheel locks. It's a lug like any other, it holds down 1/5th of the wheel and can come loose like any other nut. If your wheel lock can't handle being torqued your locks are trash.

[@GametimeSlime]

@@manny9323exactly wtf is he talking about 😂

[@phugwad]

3 tons is 6,000 lbs (6,600 lbs if we're talking a metric ton) so a 3 ton jack could lift the entire car, not just one corner or one side. There's certainly nothing wrong with a jack with more capacity than weight to lift but 3 tons is way more than you need. The one issue with using a higher capacity than needed is that the mechanical advantage must be greater on the high capacity jack, so you will require more pumps, or a longer stroke, than if you use a lower capacity jack.

[@ericdahl2915]

Good job!

[@tedalen529]

why would a tow truck need to jack the car up? Wouldn't they just hook it up and then pull the vehicle up on the ramp? (from the tow hook)

[@geoffryvickery1681]

You don’t need to loosen lug nuts if you have an impact.

[@hbv2020]

Will the jack fit under the car if the tire is flat?

[@xplmr1]

I was told by a Tesla tech that the Model 3 is so rigid that they jack up from only the rear jack point to lift both front and rear tires on one side of the vehicle off the ground. That may be necessary with a flat that makes it too close to the ground to use the nearest jack point.

[@patelakash1010]

Did you even do star formation? In this video? 😛😛

[@geraldramones8283]

[@xplmr1]

He didn't.

[@l31007]

From the 2nd nut to the 3rd, he didn't, but good enough I guess.

[@JYYP-jz7qq]

Hello. Just a question. Since impact wrench outputs at a high torque, when tightening the lug nuts, how are you sure that you don't over torque it? Thanks in advanced.

[@KPhan]

This impact wrench have a mode for lug nuts. The moment it sense the lug tight, it will instantly stop. You will have to use a torque wrench to manually torque your lugs to spec after. So while in that mode, you can't over tight the lugs.

[@JYYP-jz7qq]

[@brandondyce895]

Usually you wanna use a torque stick with won't let you over trq. But in the event you don't have one general rule is to hand tighten you lugs first to the point the wheel isn't moving and then give it a quick 1 sec tighten if your using gun and do that twice. After that use the trq wrench to finish up trqing your tire.

You shouldn't use an impact gun on your wheel lock nut.. only use your hand tool to loosen or tighten that one.

[@theodorehaskins3756]

Wow! You carry all that stuff around with you? Not me, I ain’t getting on my hands, and knees to change a damn tire. I’ll just called Tesla roadside service, pay the bill, and let them do it. Cheers 🥂

[@Beefsroadsideservicellc]

Never losin the lugnuts while the vehicle tire is on the ground always jack up the vehicle 1st then take off the tire yup.

[@firehazard86]

Unreal. Never loosen a wheel with weight of vehicle on it.

[@TurreTuntematon]

You seem to have never changed tyres. Always lose them, but never more than to open them if tight, and only so that barely tyre touches the ground. Tyre does not spin and no real weight is on the tyre.

[@ironphilly2366]

why don't people rim swap

[@michael_grey]

DO NOT use a impact gun to put lug nuts back on. U can strip the lugs easily. use it to remove but then use a lug wrench or 4 way to put lugs back on

[@begood82]

Tesla sucks.. it doesn’t have spare tire.

[@spacep0d]

Most modern cars don't. It's 2024 and nearly everyone has a smart phone. Tesla has roadside assistance.
