September 2021, to be clear. The earliest window date I saw was at one point only a week after my order. And no, there have been no order or account changes. I won't be mad about it showing up after Jan 1 though on the off chance tax credits return. I'm skeptical, but I wouldn't turn it down.

My order got pushed this morning to simply "February." Was previously Jan 7 - Feb 7 after bouncing from as soon as late September all the way to March IIRC. Red/White/No Tow/No FSD MYP ordered 9/23 for delivery in NJ.

Mine (2020 3P) has been doing this almost daily since 2021.36. It happens after the car has been sitting, and is cleared with a reboot. It's extremely annoying but I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. Hopefully this is fixed quickly.

Let's try this again now that my Martians finally arrived. Also adding a Jeda USB hub (dual USB-A) for pre June 2020 builds. $40 you provide a shipping label. Alternatively, free with purchase of wheels.

This is absolutely true. I have generally been lazy and figured if they ever bothered me I'd just replace them. But they do not like impacts. To be fair to McGard, they are quite clear about this. But they are not kidding.

Spline drive lug nuts are your friend when it comes to not marring up your new wheels. McGard Spline Drive Lug Nuts 65310BK That's the part I used. The base (silver part) is a separate piece that stops turning once it makes contact with the wheel. That combined with spline drive makes them...

The issue as explained to me is related to this: You need a lot of volume of air to seat the bead, and if it's all escaping through the knurling faster than you can put it in then you won't succeed.

Logic seems reasonable; I ordered a set of Rally Armor. I've had narrow/tucked winter wheels on to date due to these delays so now is as good a time as any to get flaps on. Also good to hear the Y is improved as I just convinced my in-laws to buy one and they were never going to go for PPF...

Not sure what's up with the pictures, they show for me when logged in but don't when not. Here's all of them + a new one. Any suggestions on mud flaps that aren't garbage? I'm happy to pay for quality but when I looked back in December there was nothing worthwhile on the market that I...

Car is fully PPF'd, does that change your view? I had pretty much decided that mud flaps were a net negative due to potential to wear through PPF to harm the paint. I'm not opposed to mud flaps if they can be done without adding risk.

It's one of Martian Wheels' stock sizes - 19x9.5 +30. I somehow managed to get tar all over the car and my wrap guy has been somewhat less than responsive in getting me in to fix it. So as I said - Filthy car. But I went back outside and took these just for you.

Leaking ended up being an installer issue, apparently a barcode tag stuck in the bead seal area on two tires. All seems well now. Apologies for the filthy car but at least the wheel is somewhat clean: A/S 3+ in 265/35/19 has a lot of wheel protection. Curbing should be nearly impossible...

Certainly possible. They didn't seem all that put out by the knurling, aside from it giving them trouble until they took them to the other shop. They've been fine for me on my other cars and did mount/balance on at least one Viper tire and my Focus RS along with less entertaining daily driver...

More fun. Had four new Michelin A/S 3+ mounted. The tire shop had significant difficulty getting them to seal on the knurling using air pressure alone and needed to send them out to a sister shop that had another tool. Once they declared them finished the wheels stayed in my truck for a few days...

Correct. I had placed a second order for the sensors; apparently they should have been installed and torqued to spec prior to shipping. When I opened the one box to get a photo I figured the sensors were just in one of the other boxes and didn't investigate further.
