    Model S Trailer Hitch Installation

    Has anyone tried towing a small car (miata, s2000) with their Model S? I see the 4000lb hitches but UP also has a 5000lb rated hitch. I think with a 16ft trailer, it comes in around 4500lbs.. Is that pushing it for these cars?

    Refreshed 2022 Model X plaid AC smells bad, and vibration, not fix yet

    It’s common after thousands of miles, not 2 weeks after getting a fresh one. My car has 15k on it.. this isn’t common. Don’t normalize something that is an engineering flaw.

    Refreshed 2022 Model X plaid AC smells bad, and vibration, not fix yet

    I’ve having the same smells in my 2022 MS. The service center has replaced the cabin filter twice.. and blames it in the hot Texas weather. I’m getting tired of taking it it the sc but it’s ridiculous to have this smell coming out of a 1yr old car

    Wheels spacers for PLAID + 21” Arachnids?

    So this statement in the ebay listing from the seller is not a real problem with these spacers, or did you have to do some mods? I’m so sorry guys, didn’t mean to leave y’all hanging. I originally bought 20mm spacers from the same seller for my Arachnids (link below). Then I swapped to a...

    No rubbing at all after I took the spacers off. The offset is a little weak but the 305 width makes up for it. I previously had 285 +34 on my old wheels and it didn’t rub

    BC Forged 21” wheels on my Plaid

    Is there a reason why people are against running a squared setup with a 15mm in the rear? I’m thinking 21x10.5 +35 all around with +15mm spacer in the rear. You can get flush fitment and able to rotate. Are spacers that big of a deal breaker?

    Model S Aftermarket Wheel Fitment/Offset Discussion

    does the height of the tire matter? I am thinking of running 285/30/21 (85.5mm) in the front and 305/30/21 (91.5mm) in the back. Rear tire will be a little taller---will that mess up anything?

    I have 21x10.5 + 34mm on the back of my 2020 and it cleared no problem. 4mm isnt a ton, perhaps use a 5mm spacer to push it out more. Plus itll look more flush!

    285 fronts on refresh/plaid

    do you have pics and offsets of the front wheels? I'm wondering if my current rear wheels (21x10.5 +34mm) will fit up front. If so, i might get another identical pair and run square setup with spacers in the rear.

    A brand new Plaid with your config is $143400 from Tesla. Why in the world would someone pay $165k.. cover your taxes, then also pay their own taxes when they go to register it? Itll be around $154k including taxes buying direct from Tesla, with less than a week wait lol
