I recently changed the wheels on my Model S and posted pictures here. A lot of interest was shown. I contacted the manufacture (ACE Wheels) to get a promo pricing package for fellow owners. They will give 40% off to a group of 5 owners wanting ACE Wheels. In addition they will give an...

Has anyone heard about pricing on this unit or when pre-ordering starts yet?

Dr Taras... Would you mind giving some more information on the 12V system? Was anything done so that you can pull that much current from it? Have you had any issues from range or killing the 12V system?
