My guess is that no one from Telsa responds/shows up, leading to a default judgement against them.

Did you opt out of the arbitration requirement when you bought your car? Not sure if that matters in small claims?

Thanks! I think some pics of the 19s must be floating around. But I did just swap them back on last week, so if you still need pics after the reply above (which answered the question about range also) please let me know. I'm glad the range question was answered because I have zero awareness...

Especially with as many photos of new wheels with factory tires installed you can find around here... They are "(Y)" rated...

It seems you missed the last post on this thread where I pointed to another thread where this continued. That being said, I never did update that thread either! So, in short, Tesla did it as a remote service. Literally showed up at my office and swapped out the old bumper with a new factory...

It's right in my signature. They are SV104 (in either 21" or 19" depending on the season). If you reach out to Jaime from Signature Wheels, tell him I sent you!

Thanks! Mount Laurel. Having open wheels really helps too. Can't miss those calipers.

This has begun rolling out.

It's in version 2021.44.30, which has started to roll out.

But the Tesla kit includes a rear caliper (4 piston) instead of reusing the stock caliper (1 piston). That has to account for some of the $3000 difference.

It says that because it doesn't clear Tesla's 19" wheels. It doesn't mean that it won't fit in *any* 19" wheel. For example, the RB BBK (which has bigger rotors than the Tesla kit) will fit inside my SV 104 19" wheels. I expect the Tesla kit would fit also.

Not disagreeing with you, but at least currently, this price seems pretty competitive with what's available (well, not really available, but you could pre-order it). The RB CCB kit is $17k and doesn't include a replacement rear caliper, or installation. (420/390) If Tesla includes...

It probably wasn't clear, since I buried it in between photos, but "Fitted inside an SV104 19" wheel." That's Signature Wheels, SV104. (My winter wheels) - I run SV104 in 21s during the summer...wanted to make sure I wouldn't run into issues when swapping wheels.

The template. The template measuring the correct 233 mm on the long side. Fitted inside an SV104 19" wheel. Worst case scenario - clears the wheel weights by about 1.5 mm.

All of this may be true, but in terms of rear cross traffic, Tesla has left out the required hardware. The rear mounted camera can't see what they would need to see to be effective, and the car doesn't have the radar sensors that are normally used to get rear cross traffic/pedestrian alerts...

So, after ordering way back on January 15th, tomorrow at 3:30 my original Plaid (+, at the time) order is being delivered. White/Black/Carbon/19" It will be interesting (to me, at least) to see what initial quality looks like today versus my blue one from back in July.

The permanent magnet motor certainly made it easier, but they could have transitioned from the motors doing the braking to the actual mechanical brakes once speeds got below 5 mph. Not a big deal in retrospect, of course.

If that's your argument, sure. But it's a darn silly one you keep using to try to "win" this argument. If you can't get from your house to the local convenience store, no matter how close by it is, without using the brake pedal, you aren't "one pedal driving." One pedal driving is...

I suspect your reading comprehension is low, so I'll try to dumb it down for you. 1) Regen is not the same thing as one pedal driving. (You keep reverting back to talking about regen.) 2) OP claimed Tesla was a leader in one pedal driving. (I only pointed out a single example to show that...

Again, Tesla couldn't regen to 0 and then hold until mid/late 2019. BMW did true one pedal driving in 2013. As in, I could drive from home to work for 24 miles and never use the brake pedal once. I don't know when Chevy did it. Annoyed me to no end when I got my M3. If you think everyone...

I was talking about one pedal driving from the outset, and so was the OP who brought it up. It's possible (I didn't research) that the Chevy Bolt *also* beat Tesla like BMW did.

We're not talking about regen. We're talking about one pedal driving. Tesla wouldn't regen to 0 and then hold until mid 2019.

The BMW i3 had complete one pedal driving for a very long time before Tesla finally came around to it... They weren't a leader here at all.

Sounds like you are describing the lane departure warning? Have you tried turning that off in the settings?

YES! The orbital sander feeling. I'm feeling the same thing until the tires are really warm and I'm looking for max traction. Re: Having to correct. I found that when I switch from "standard" steering, and "medium" suspension to "sport" and "low", the wandering under full throttle got...

I don't think that's true. If you gently press the accelerator until you get to 60mph, versus flooring it until you get to 60mph, one takes more energy than the other (ignoring anything that may be recaptured by coasting to a stop). This is the same principal used by hyper-milers on ICE cars...

How would you describe this feeling/sounding? To me, when the tires aren't really well heated and I floor it, I describe this as a light shudder, or a slight vibration. Do you agree? I don't have any other plaids to compare to mine (until next week when the white one comes in) so I'm just...

Exactly this. Anyone who is "upgrading" to a refresh from the 3/Y will notice that the audio is a "downgrade" from those cars in particular. They are exceptional, the S is merely "good."

Nothing for the refresh (yet).

This is close to what I had to do also. Very disappointing compared to the 3 and Y. Even with these settings.

Just an update: My January 15th RN#1143x for a White/Black/CF/19 Plaid is scheduled for delivery 9/11-9/14. For a total of about 8 months. (I'm keeping my blue/cream/wood/21, and a friend has claimed the incoming white one)

I haven't been following along precisely. How long has it been? Are you approaching lemon-law status?

Yes. I recently had my car at a Tesla meet-up. I was giving rides. People who have had lots of other Teslas commented on the satisfying "thud" that the passenger front door made when closing. Yes, it's the little things that matter. ;-)

How sure are we about that? Serious question. I just assumed the wood in my car was a very good plastic representation of wood.

So it seems, yes.

Never had to do anything special on my M3P when I switched from my summers to my winters. Drive a bit, and the TPMS will be picked up. The car may also pop up a notification that it knows that you've switched wheels, and to choose the new size (probably for the picture, or range estimates?)...

I think you can't go wrong with either. I'm running with triple tinted black myself. There are so many different black parts on the car, all in varying gloss/matte finishes that any of the dark colors are going to look great, IMO.

That's somewhat meaningful, I think? It would seem that mean that they don't have that "not for use in under 45 degrees" warning associated with them? Probably suck in the slushy stuff, anyway, but at least if you had another vehicle you could keep them on year round?

This setting is tied to the driver profile... so if that was switched you have your answer. There's also a chance that the change didn't auto-save, I guess?

Agreed on the feedback being far too subtle to be useful. How sure are you that your slide is actually engaging the signal? That was the biggest surprise to me. You really do have to lightly press far too long to get the first actual flash of the lights... Yes, I'd like it to be much easier...

Re: Turn signals. I actually broke down and RTFM last night. Practiced in my garage where I could see what was happening while sitting in the drivers seat. It's better and worse than I thought. Better: I was under the impression that there were two modes. A quick one that will turn off...

Link to purchase those "bags" or "tire covers"? I like those.

No concerns. Mine is 430* and near perfect. Every Tesla is unique... mine could have been build right before yours or right after yours and they could be considerably different in quality, unfortunately. Just check it over like you would any new Tesla.

I think maybe you edited your sig incorrectly? Shows your 19 was delivered. Which SC did you pick up from?

Is this your first Tesla? It doesn't work like that w.r.t. software updates. They never actually "fix" everything in one fell swoop. Fixes come in little drips and drabs, and, typically other bugs get introduced (though those are typically fixed quickly). The car and the software continually...

I'm just starting to get used to the turn signals. Trying very hard not to look down each time I need to engage them to reinforce this training. The hard part so far is learning how to engage a "quick" signal (which should be 3, not 1, but never mind for now) versus a long (don't turn off...

I also feel like the very early cars were somehow better. Maybe during the ramp-up they were being more careful? It sounds like most of the damage on the 430 you are talking about happened in transport, anyway. That being said, having owned 3 Teslas now. I don't believe VIN means anything...

**SOLD**

Because, for some stupid reason, I can't avoid keeping up on this thread despite already driving around in my Plaid. But, really, the truth is I'm still tracking my January RN1143 White/Black/CF/19s order which is currently scheduled for Sept 7 - Sept 21.
