I think having the VP of customer service from Lucid contact the owner about the original times and how to extract better times says a lot about how close in performance the cars are. It means little adjustments like tire pressure makes a world of difference. Lowering your tire psi means great...

The smaller lighter wheel/ thicker tires help launch the Plaid better than the Sapphire with the super low profile and larger tires and wheels. If only they made a stickier 19" tire then the times should be even better.

I try to floor it every chance I get...

These are from 6061 Vforged wheels. What I've noticed though thus far on 20" it really depends on the tire. I went with Pirelli pzero but without foam and it becomes much louder and rougher. If you like 19" ride and feel ALOT, then the 20" depending on the tire may not be your cup of tea...

I went with 20inch wheels with 255/40R20 front and 295/35R20 on the rear. But if you have a long range, you can always go same size like what some of the others on the forum have done. It really depends on what you want. Alot of variations you can try.

I didn't see it as I think its probably not in stock. I do see the style I bought on the Tesla Model Y though... Costco Velox Wheels | Select wheels for 2023 TESLA MODEL Y (19 inch))

1. search on amazon or internet for model S tempest caps and there usually is for sale caps that will fit. 2. spacers work but most you are adding more weight on the hubs. 3. 20 inch set up. Forged wheels 6061 Vforged by Velox. Those were available through Costco.

Thats of course a personal choice to bias towards brands but I dont believe wheels fall particularly well in the resell arena. The reason is that wheels are like a pair of sneakers. People collect them but once they are worn, that value pretty much hits the toilet. LIke used cars, unless you...

An interesting fact though is that Taiwan/chinese forgings have long been O.E for Mclaren , Bentley, Ferrari, and others.... Forged Wheels - SuperAlloy Industrial Co., Ltd. To the end consumer, its simply wheel snob marketing and how it sways you to open your wallet and part with more...

If you are talking about the aluminum billet forgings, compositions vary little but with high tonnage forgings the strength of the inherent material is typically sufficient regardless of country of origin... It more so boils down to how much each wheel manufacturer pares the weight off their...

My aftermarket wheel set up 20x10 and 20x11.5 is still lighter than the OE setup. But truth be told, the design on the O.E leaves a lot of areas where weight could be reduced along with their consideration of possible load and impact tolerances. Aftermarket wheels in general lack this...

My wheels are forged 20" wheels that are equivalent to OE 19" in weight and the 20" tires I use are same or close to the circumference as 19 factory... I run on the front 255/40R20 vs oe 255/45r19 which is at 88". The rear which is 295/35R20 vs oe 285/40R19 with a variation difference of 88.3...

Win on Sunday, sell on Monday.

Yes. I know most tires for Tesla have foam insert

Tires are a big sound generator. My previous Panamera 21" tires had sound isolation foam in the tires to dampen out sound. The sound varies depending on compound of the tires and tread. Not much you can do there.
