I am struggling to believe that this isn’t a troll. I, too, checked out the iPace out of morbid curiosity, and it’s a joke. The entire infotainment system is unusable. It has a solid 2-3 second lag after inputs. I’d get into an accident just trying to use it. And that’s one reason, of dozens...

Super helpful! Looks like you can get away with any regular tire -- as long as it's quiet. You seem very knowledgable about this stuff. If you had to keep your 20s and just install all-seasons on them for year-round use, which tire would you go with?

The OEM Continentals have sound-deadening foam installed

Wow, good info. The 18s just look so... baby sized ;) This is such a tough call. I would love to be able to just put all-seasons on the OEM 20”s and call it a year, but I worry about increased tire noise, etc. without the sound deafening foam. If they’re as quiet as the stock setup, I’d just do...

Got it! Thanks. Where I am we get basically no snow, but temps below 40 all the time. Sounds like I’ll be good with the 19s

Is there any reason you guys aren’t going for the 19s?

Same. I’ve never entered a CC anywhere and have racked up about $25 worth of supercharging.

Have: USB-C Want: Lightning Maryland

Couldn’t agree more!

I noticed the 19” TSTs are listed as coming in “Brilliant Silver”, but it’s not an option in the drop down. Is this color discontinued? I’d like my winter wheels to match the 20s as closely as possible.

Nice! Can you fit all four wheels/tires in the car? I have a storage unit. If it’s not a big deal to pack the 20s in the car after they’re swapped, this will be my solution

I think I'm settling on the same (18s with all seasons). Is the sound foam in them as well? Or is there much of a difference there?

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Baffling that it somehow exceeds all expectations.

Uh... I get that. And have first hand experience of that. Was asking if anyone has heard anything.

They’re assigning AWD software to P3D hardware so... I doubt they’re checking hard :)

This isn't a hoax. It's what happens when you accidentally get the euro firmware flipped on in your car.

It's funny how easy it is to forget that we paid for these things. When I took delivery, there wasn't any mention of them, despite them being line items on the upgrade package. Has anyone gotten word on when we should expect these to be available for installation?

I'm in exactly the same position as you (in Maryland, too), except I already have the P3D+! It's either the Michelin AS3+s, or I grab the 18s with the acoustic tires. I will say I'm not looking forward to schlepping wheels around twice a year. If you don't like the look of the aeros, I would...

If I got Michelin AS3+s on my 20"s as all-year tires, would I be compromising on acceleration? Or are they felt more when hammering corners at the limit?

P3D+ here. It’s scary how easy it is to get into trouble. I’ve had this car in situations where I’d be in a ditch in any ICE car. The corrections the electric motors can make are astounding. The road feel is surprisingly supple with the 20s. No harshness at all. Average passenger reaction...

Holy crap. I’m stupid. Here I was pricing out a winter wheel+tire set when — of course! Just scrap the summer tires and buy some all-seasons! One wheel set. Yay. What all-seasons did you go with?

It's stupidly, effortlessly fast, kind of in a bad way. I was showing my friend what the P3D could do on some back roads yesterday and hadn't really hit the "twisties" with it yet. He encouraged me to take the next windy bit with some spirit, so I did what I thought was a conservative, but...

Based on this thread, I think my plan will be to do hard launches until the tires are worn down, then swap them for all seasons :)

I would argue the P3D (or any Tesla) is the best way to have fun without getting into trouble. It pulls so hard off the line, the 0-45 is really the most fun. So you can essentially floor it up to the speed limit with a massive grin on your face. In any ICE car, by the time the tires actually...

Supercharging for a year is free if you take delivery before the end of September.

I know what you’re going through. I was exactly here just two weeks ago. I knew I wouldn’t actually go through with it, but I really WANTED to cancel my order just to stick it to them. Let me tell you: you will absolutely regret it. Stop checking the forums for a few days. Focus on your...

Thanks! I kept it as MSM, but switched to the white interior. I was hoping for black, but my desire for the car overrode that (they only had white in inventory). Honestly, though... I'm really glad I was "forced" to take white. It's incredible. So bright inside. You feel like you're in some...

Just wanted to check in to say I took delivery of a P3D+ two days ago! I got “the text,” and decided to call around the next morning after not hearing back. By a stroke of sheer luck, I called my local DC and actually got through. They looked up my record and said “oh, it says here you’d be...

Took delivery of a P3D+ today. When something is hyped so unbelievably and still exceeds expectations ... incredible. I gave a ride to 4 50+ year olds at the same time and they were laughing like children. The delivery experience was rushed and unfriendly. A few scratches etc. But I...

Paperwork snafu. Still here 2 hr after appointment :) Rep told me 12,000 people got the text last night.

Call your local DC and connect with their delivery department!!

Yep!!

Just called delivery center on a lark. They said “here’s what we have available, which one do you want?” I’m taking delivery of a fully loaded MSM with white interior (performance) at 1pm.

Like, you JUST got it? Or you got it last night? Interesting if they're still firing them off.

Guys, I think I know what's going on. This is Tesla's new "insane mode."

You're doing god's work!!! Unbelievable. My DC literally said "What text?" when I called them. I guess the main Tesla folks know what the DCs don't?

Mine still works :( LOL the hold time on Tesla's 88 number is already greater than 20 minutes. Normally I can get through immediately at this time of day. Looks like a lot of people got those texts.

Just called delivery center — they had no idea what I was talking about re: texts. As far as they could tell my account is unchanged.

Nope still there.

Better cancel that flight, homie!

The phone number is apparently a Verizon cell phone. The legitimacy of this is now going into the red.

I think you’re right. Hacked maybe?

If this is some screw up in their system I’m going to lose it. My DA said there was no car in my state, current config or performance, in any color, at 4pm today. Now suddenly my exact car is available? Tomorrow?! Hmmm. Only thing I can think is they just got dumped off the truck and it...

I just got this text! Hello from the Tesla Delivery team. Our logistics team has confirmed a Model 3 matching your order is available this week. Are you available to take delivery between 9/26 and 9/30? WTF.

No answer here. I told them 9/26. Will I wake up to a delivery time? It’s my bed time.

If you're noticing it, no I wouldn't say it's normal. I really can't tell a difference between 30mph and 90mph. Lots of 3s have had issues with seals. I'd get it checked out. See if you can narrow it down to the area.

I'm certainly ansy too, but ...we're not even in October yet. We should be just fine for the year-end tax credit. Here's hoping.

We are kindred spirits, Dan. Everyone's getting their cars but you and me. Everyone's seeing progress. We're going to be the most righteous Tesla owners on the roads, my friend. I hope your vanity plate is better than mine.

How did you find out? Did you get an email, or was it just from spamming refresh on your account?
