Thought I’d report back that the new studs that Tesla put on my 2013 Model S work perfectly with the chains. I’ve been able to drive around for long distances without them falling off. See my previous post for what the replacement studs look like.

I brought my 2012 S to the SC in San Francisco and showed them what was going on with the chains. They had a few lug nuts in stock that they called “original style” and they installed one on each of my wheels. I haven’t had a chance to test them out with the chains yet, but they appear to be...

I’ve got the Konig chains for both my 2012 Model S and my 2022 Model S. They would fall off of the 2012 regularly because of the lug nut problem described in the other discussion. I got Tesla to swap out some of those lug nuts so now it works properly. I’ve never had any problem with the chains...

I’ve got a 2013 RWD Model S with winter tires and a 2022 S with the Continental all seasons. I just had the opportunity to drive both cars in pretty heavy snow on the same mountain road on the same day in the Tahoe area. The 2013 got completely stuck and we had to put chains on to get it out...

Stuart, did you ever find a solution to this problem? I have a 2013 Model S and have the exact same problem as you with the chains.

Drive safely. I’m in the Tahoe area right now and the snow is intense. Good luck!

I am dealing with the San Francisco SC. Service there has generally been excellent.

Thanks to everyone who has replied to this thread. Super helpful. And it would make sense that these chains would work on the Refresh S given that the K-Summit K45 are what Tesla sells for the pre-refresh S. I'll call Tesla and see if I can get them to confirm that these will work. If they will...

The discussion about summer tires has been super informative, especially for the uninitiated like me. Thank you. I'm in the Bay Area of California but I spend a lot of time in Tahoe, so I bounce between moderate weather and cold weather. The SAs I was working with assured me that my car would be...

I got my new MSLR 19” the other day. (It’s awesome! I posted about it on the LR thread.) Tesla promised me it would come with all season tires but of course they delivered it with the Pirelli PZ4 summers. I live in the CA Bay Area where winter temps are usually in the 50s and 60s, but I’ll...

Hi everyone, I FINALLY GOT MY CAR!!! This thing is INSANE! I can't stop thinking about it and am driving it every free second I have. And when I'm not driving in it, I'm sitting in it in my garage. 🤪 I'm coming from a 2013 P85, which is the only car I've owned in the last ~9 years and the...

I could use some advice from the brain trust. I finally got the text to schedule delivery of my car! They want to do home delivery. Is that a bad idea since I won’t be able to inspect the interior, or should I just do it? I highly doubt I’d reject the car unless there’s something egregious that...

I’m a fellow RN1144. I had similar moves with my EDD where it was pushed out a few weeks and then brought back in. Then a couple days later I got a VIN. Fingers crossed that you get a VIN soon. I think it’s going to happen.

Things going through my head now that I’ve gotten a VIN: 1. Tesla better not make me pick up the car before Thanksgiving. I’m already out of town. But after a ten month wait, I guess I’d fly back to get it. 2. Do I wake up my wife to tell her we got a VIN? 3. What am I going to do to...

I finally got a VIN!!!! I can’t believe it. NF459 Am I pathetic for checking after midnight here in the Bay Area? Of course the first thing I wanted to do is share it with all of you… Pretty sure it flipped after midnight since I checked around 11pm and I didn’t have a VIN then.
