    Winter Tires

    I have used both the all season 20's and a dedicated set of winter tires on 19's in very significant winter storms last year in Tahoe. Car is fantastic in snow with winter tires. I felt a substantial increase in control when we had the true winter tires. The air suspension gave the car plenty...

    New wheels and tires question

    One option to consider is getting a set of true winter tires on 19 rims (black) and painting or dipping your 20's black and replacing the tires with summer or all season tires of your choice. I did this through tire rack and it was about $2200 for appropriate weight rated rims, very good...

    Reset TPM for a new set of summer tires

    My winter tires and rims were purchased through tire rack and mounted, balanced through tire rack. They came with tpms installed by tire rack. I had them installed by the tire rack recommended shop and after driving for less than 5 minutes the car recognized the new sensors and they have worked...

    Powder Coat or Paint Rim in the Bay Area. Any Recommended Auto Shop?

    You can buy the black lug nut covers from tesla for $1 each. Can also buy the center cap in black for $5. I had the center cap done as part of the wheel powder coating. Just bought the lug nut covers. Was told that even if you powder coat the lug nuts, they scratch with the lug wrench every time.

    Powder Coat or Paint Rim in the Bay Area. Any Recommended Auto Shop?

    Sorry for the long delay. The top picture is of the powder coated factory 20's in semigloss black. The second picture is of my winter tires on 19's that are dipped. I can say without question that the powder coating is far superior. The dipped wheel is very dependent on your technique and I...

    What did you name your model X?

    Driving at Lake Tahoe with 22s

    If your 22's have summer tires, I would strongly encourage you to change out to the 20's with M&S tires. I am up here in Tahoe with our X and I have 19s with full winter tires (Blizzaks) and it is an amazingly capable car with true winter tires. The only thing that concerns me are the morons...

    Replacing 90D with new 100D

    I agree completely! We love our 2013 non-AP model S. I really enjoy my model X, but if my wife needs it for the day, I have nothing to complain about in our S! These are great cars that we are very lucky to be able to enjoy. There is always something better, faster, etc. It's easy to...

    P100D Owners: Why did you choose P100D?

    I ordered and received it before the 100d was available. Wanted the max range. Also love the zoom. Really an amazing car. No justifying the cost, but it makes me and our family happy.

    Powder Coat or Paint Rim in the Bay Area. Any Recommended Auto Shop?

    I think I dropped it off Thursday morning and had the car back on Saturday. With all the weather, my car is filthy so you don't want to see the pictures. I will try to circle back once I get it cleaned up and post a pic for you. Tommy has pictures though. He takes pictures of every job.

    AP 2.0 Bait and Switch?

    You actually received much more advanced hardware than you signed up for at the time you placed your order. Many, many threads are filled with others complaining the they missed out on AP2 hardware. Ask yourself if you really want the software update before its ready? I think the visceral...
