    2021+ Model S tires and wheels: all things (Plaid, LR, OEM, aftermkt, 19, 20, 21, summer, winter etc.)

    I debated it for sure but looks like might be more at play with the width etc - since it is brand new and both Tesla and my own shop said don't do it I didnt' - was worried about the warranty :-(

    Highly recommended against by both Tesla and my garage - keeps the sand/salt road gunk out of the back of the rotors etc. I thought of it but they all said no.

    2021+ Model S tires and wheels: all things (Plaid, LR, OEM, aftermkt, 19, 20, 21, summer, winter etc.)

    Perhaps - not sure why would want to do that though - salt/snow/build up - in part protected by the shield. BUt either way - callsed tesla and they recommend against it. Bit surprising as there is (as you know) a 19" option - not sure why this one so tight - the interior of the rim must have...

    2021+ Model S tires and wheels: all things (Plaid, LR, OEM, aftermkt, 19, 20, 21, summer, winter etc.)

    I just tried to install my 19" with Nokians that worked on my P85D and P100D on my Plaid. They did not fit. the clearance from the brake shield to the inside of the rim was mm way too close. That is too bad as I have at least two more winter seasons on those tires. Now I am scrambling to...

    Software Update error ?

    Thank you all. I will try that. I would have thought though once the update had downloaded, the WIFI strength wouldn't matter? i.e. I installed it that evening, in a zone where I wasn't hooked to WIFI (the second time). The first time it was where there was WIFI.

    Software Update error ?

    Hi: I couldn't find another thread on this so apologies if I missed it. I currently have a P100D, and about 3 weeks ago it upgraded to 2019.8.5 3aaa23d Twice since then new updates have been pushed to the car, which I install, but then both times have received an error that the update didn't...

    2012 P85 versus 2017 100D

    Thanks Doug. Appreciate it. I saw on a thread and online a few months back they had cooled seats as well - but then they stopped offering that as an option. I think it was due to maintenance/quality issues. Too bad as would be nice in the summer (the climate system still leaves a bit to be...

    2012 P85 versus 2017 100D

    Hi: Been a while since I posted. I have a 2015 P85D and am looking now for ordering a P100D. Likely not for delivery before next summer, but never too early to start researching. Your comparison is really helpful. I am particularly interested in the interior upgrades since mine and also the...

    Cold weather and smart air suspension issue

    Thanks Doug. Perhaps a service issue then. Seems strange only happens at highway speed after an hour or so when really cold.

    Cold weather and smart air suspension issue

    About three times now when driving from Ottawa to Tremblant when it has been at its coldest (eg -15C or lower) about 1/2 way into the trip I receive the red warning icon on the dash which indicates smart air suspension isn't working. Unfortunately, means sometime the car is stuck in the law...

    What type of range degradation to be expected?

    Thanks Peter that is helpful. I made a mistake when I first got mine and it wasn't charging right to 100 percent before a trip. I thought maybe an issue with the public charger I was using so I tried to override it and restart the charging immediately 2-3 times. Then I got a warning that...
