Thanks - but afraid these wheels have been sold. Good luck!

Thanks for all the interest! I’d strongly prefer to sell the full set straightaway, need to clear the space in my garage...

Finally pulled the trigger and replaced my original 21" turbine wheels with arachnids. Now I need to clear some space in the garage... For sale - $1050 OBO Four 21" Tesla OEM Model S grey turbine wheels (square 8.5" setup) with tires and 2nd-gen TPMS - Tires are Hankook Ventus V12 EVO2s...

Second the vote for yellow (I‘m biased - see pic). Looks great with the dark wheels.

Yes, definitely possible. You have to upgrade the computer *and* individual wheel sensors. Tesla upgraded my 2013 S to the Gen 2 TPMS last year when my Gen 1 system failed (I think the upgrade cost $500) - and I now get individual pressure readings on my instrument cluster; very convenient. As...

That’s the original Model S prototype interior from the first unveiling in ~2011. Definitely not a new refresh, though those broad horizontal air vents look a bit familiar...

Anyone with 3D printing / fabrication experience willing to take a shot at a custom version of part #1 in the diagram @rknp58plus posted above? Could be wishful thinking on my part, but it looks like that’s the one key piece from the factory set that would need to be changed to make the refresh...

Thanks Larry - really appreciate the flexibility. Unfortunately, both service centers I spoke to flat-out refuse to install seats that weren't purchased new, and I don't have the time/mechanical confidence to do the job myself. This really does looks like a great deal for someone willing to do...

Sounds like we might just miss each other; I get back July 3rd... Still interested, though; let me check with my local SC to see if they're willing to do this install using secondhand parts, we can go the shipping route if they're game. Will PM you once I hear back.

@Lawrence99x - I'm also interested if still available; would you be willing to part with the seat-back mounting bracket as well? We may be able to arrange an exchange of seat-back carpet (mine currently uncut) at a local SC if they'll agree to do the swap. I'm local to DC l, but would be...

37, male, with two kids younger than my Tesla. The oldest loves to ask for "blast off" on the road - she thinks all fast cars go "whirr" rather than "vroom" :)

I've been noodling over ventilation for the rear-facing seats for some time now, with a main objective of designing something that looks and feels clean and integrated (e.g., OEM-like). I've finally taken a bit of time to sketch out a removable jumpseat-ventilation system design (see pics) that...

For what it's worth, at least a few thousand early cars (up to Vin ~4000, IIRC) came with the required safety structure by default. Tesla later changed this, and now only adds the extra safety structure into the chassis of cars that have selected the rear-facing seats option at the factory...

Speaking of Great American Restaurants, I'm voting for Carlyle - it's one of the nicest in that chain, and is located in South Arlington just off Rt. 395, not far from where this get-together is happening. The place can be a bit crazy for both evenings and the brunch scene but the food and...

Looking forward to the @TeslaRoadTrip reunion, this should be a blast - we'll definitely plan on being there. Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous New Year 2014, see you in February!
