    Get the Tempest 19" and pull off the wheel covers. The wheels underneath the covers look reasonably decent.

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2 for $2500 [$1500 as of Jan 21, 2020]

    Failed MCU1 under warranty gets a remanufactured MCU1. No one gets MCU1 to MCU2 upgrade for free, warranty or not. It's $2500+ tax.

    If you pay $2500 for the MCU2 you will lose your AM-FM radio and Sirius XM (if you have it). Pay the $200 and call it a day.
