Thank you, I guess when an owner with CCBs calls roadside assistance it may be a good idea to remind them that you require a 21" wheel and tire, then again it may or may not be "in stock".

perhaps the tesla installers didn't bleed the brakes appropriately, if air is stuck in the system then that could cause that feeling.

Separate question related to track pack tires...What has tesla mentioned about roadside assistance with track pack? e.g. If you need roadside assistance (from the public roadway) does the tesla contracted roadside assistance operators bring you a 20" wheel & tire? do they have to flat bed tow...

I thought a larger diameter tire would help acceleration because for every revolution you are going a farther distance. So if you were to keep the weight the same by getting lighter wheels, then you’d accelerate quicker, no? Anyone checked what the largest tire that can fit under the chassis?

Any idea how much would it cost to have custom gears made for the plaid?

Do you think that’s what the 2024 or perhaps 2025 plaids will have? 4680s at 800v and 1242hp?

How complicated is a gear ratio swap from another Tesla? If you swapped gears you might lose top speed but you’d gain from more torque multiplication, which will get you better times….

What do you guys think of a gear ratio update? Plaid has 7.5:1 P100D has 9.7? I think… Model y has 8.9? i think… Or what about cyberbeast gears? That thing has a top speed of 130mph…imagine the low end torque of those gears in a plaid???? Traction limited for sure. 9.7 in the plaid wouldn’t...

Quad motor, ~1400hp roadster would be wild. I wonder if they are going to be limited production?

I wonder if the ingenext sw, that unlocks the 216mph, also makes the car quicker? Also, what do you all think, is Tesla going to launch a quad motor model s?

Nope, they are typically meant to produce downforce and that creates drag, so they do the opposite, slow you down. That’s why f1 cars have DRS (drag reduction system) capable wings so that they can reduce the downforce, typically needed to go really fast around turns, on the wide straight away...

Tesla could have provided larger rotors and better pads very inexpensively, it’s a strategic miss, big whoop, it’s a cheap fix, it’s not marketed to be a track vehicle but yes it’s inferred, ha.

Weight reduction does increase acceleration up to the point of traction but you’re comparing the traction limit of two cars based on their listed marketing specs which isn’t good data, but it’s all you have, which is why you’re asking for engineers to help you get real data. Btw I recall brooks...

does the unlimited supercharging transfer to the new owner?
