The best snow chains for a
Tesla Model 3
can be bought from the Tesla online store.
You can order snow chains for your Model 3 from Tesla’s online storefront. Considering that Tesla’s are pretty unique, it’s wise to go straight to the source for chains. Whether you need 18”, 19”, or 20” snow chains, Tesla can sell them to you.
Tesla sells König CG-9 103 chains, which are self-tensioning. At the time of writing, these chains for 18” and 19” tires cost $160 for one pair of chains for two wheels. The Model 3 with 20” tires requires the König K-Summit K34 chains, which cost $460 for two chains.
You may also wish to buy winter tires to improve your Model 3’s performance in cold conditions.
Remember that chains should only be installed on the rear wheels of the Model 3. If you use non-recommended chains or install them improperly, you could cause damage to the vehicle or its suspension system.
If you’re headed to eastern Oregon, note that chains are required in some areas. In snowy conditions, some roads may even be closed. Plan your trip carefully and keep an eye out for Oregon road closures.
Hope this helps!
