If the car owner prefers a stylish and handsome appearance, they can replace the 19-inch rims on the Tesla with 20-inch ones. If the owner prioritizes practicality, there is no need to change the rims. The Tesla comes standard with 19-inch rims, and upgrading to 20-inch rims requires an additional fee. The pros and cons of switching to 20-inch rims are as follows: Appearance: 20-inch rims are larger and more attractive, offering a better look. Range: The actual driving range with 20-inch rims will be about 5-10% shorter than with 19-inch rims, roughly 30 kilometers less. Practicality: 20-inch tires have thinner sidewalls, making the rims more susceptible to damage and the tires more prone to bulging. Road feedback is more pronounced, requiring extra caution even for small potholes. For 19-inch rims, reducing the tire pressure to 2.8-2.9 Bar can effectively minimize tire noise and road feedback.

What Are the Causes of Excessive Steering Gear Play?

The causes of excessive steering gear play are the wear and tear of the internal gear rack in the steering gear and the wear of the clock spring (commonly known as the airbag coil) under the steering wheel after prolonged vehicle use and high mileage. Wear of the internal gear rack in the steering gear: If there is excessive play in the steering wheel, the steering gear must be inspected. If the gear rack shows abnormal and severe wear, the entire steering gear assembly must be replaced. Wear of the clock spring (airbag coil) under the steering wheel: If the circuit most frequently turned by the steering wheel malfunctions, the spiral cable, commonly referred to as the airbag coil, is faulty. The faulty component needs to be disassembled for further circuit inspection and repair, and the corresponding relationships of all signal lines in the airbag coil must be clarified.
