Agree - But I bet many CT buyers will have never owned a truck or SUV. The design will get more buyers into the non-sedan market.

Still no issues for me - arachnids are holding up just fine.

I've had my Plaid for 10 months now, just did my first long(ish) distance road trip from Chicago to Northern WI. My opinion about the yoke did not change: It works great and at no point did I regret not having a wheel. Side note, My 2 cars prior to the Plaid were both Mercedes S Classes...and...

I'm waiting for someone to make a set of all-season tires that will work on the 21" Arachnids...hopefully soon. Won't be "max" performance in either summer or winter, but will meet my needs fine and avoid the cost and hassle of wheel swapping.

Having gone from a M3P to a MSPlaid I can confirm that the MS is significantly quieter than the M3. Not even close.

I'm in Chicago and plan on staying with my 21" Arachnids. I drove 35k Chicago area miles on my 2019 M3P with the OEM 20" wheels, no issues at all.

I like the update - auto signal off has worked 100% of the time for me when changing lanes and I no longer accidentally activate the signal buttons during normal driving.

The latest update already made a big yoke functionality improvement - eliminates the inadvertent turn signal when just touching the signal button. Now you have to give it a push (with tactile feedback) to activate then it stops when the lane change or turn is complete. Good stuff.

Have had my Plaid for 2 weeks now...and I'm 95% acclimated to the yoke. The process has formed a theory in my mind: The car is so uniquely powerful, it's prudent that the primary driver touchpoint requires some attention and mindfulness. It is a visual and tactile reminder that unless you are...

I've had my Plaid for 5 days...had a Model 3P before, always kept that car in chill mode for daily driving as it felt jumpy and high-strung in sport. In the Plaid, I notice zero difference in low-speed driving between chill and plaid modes. WIll likely just keep it in plaid all the time so that...

I prefer my weekend fun car to be the polar opposite of my Model 3...loud, thirsty, smokey, manual, and rowdy. That's why I have this:

I was in the exact position as the OP 2 years ago, put all-season Michelins on the OEM 20 in wheels, and have been just fine driving every day through 2 Chicago winters. No pothole damage or death slides as others predicted in this forum at the time.

This is my second Chicago winter with P3D+. Immediately after purchase, I replaced the OEM tires with Michelin all seasons on the stock 20" rims. I commute 50 miles each day (mix of expressway and side streets) and have yet to encounter anything it can't handle. I find it pretty impressive...

I'm 6'3, 290, and am comfortable in my Model 3 performance. However, I do sometimes bang my head / hips / legs on various parts while entering and exiting the car. The seat is good but it won't feel as big and sturdy as your Raptor. FWIW - When I bought my Tesla I was deciding between it, a...
