This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing 19" Model S refresh/plaid Tempest wheels + tires with 3K miles (Chicago area). Please add to the discussion here.

Trying to decide what to replace the 19" Tempests on the Model S long range I just picked up. Pretty much settled on a 20" x 10" square setup, and debating between the TSportline TSS or TS5s, or the Replika 264s (which are basically a copy of the Arachnids). I've narrowed it down to these...

UPDATE: Holding off on selling this car for now. Doesn't seem to be a way to delete posts here.

I know there's at least one recent thread about Tesla denying warranty for a suspension issue due to aftermarket wheels "different in size from OEM". Wondering how common this kind of thing might be, or if anyone has experienced Tesla refusing to do certain things like alignment because of...

I just took the plunge on a new Model S Long Range (the discounts were too tempting), so it’s time to sell my beloved 2015 P85D+. I’m actually surprised at how sad (and almost regretful) I am writing this. The P85D is arguably the best Model S that Tesla ever made, during a time when they were...

Just picked up a 2022 MSLR with the 19" Tempests. Not a fan of the plastic wheel cover look so starting to think about what to replace them with. Leaning towards 20" square setup, maybe TSportline TS5s or similar. Are there any downsides with going 20" square? I'm worried about the front...

I'm close to pulling the trigger on an inventory Model S. Found one to test drive (again), and spent half the drive fumbling with the turn signal buttons. I know it's something you eventually get used to, but I REALLY hated them on that test drive. I'm actually considering just getting a MYP...

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a used or inventory MSLR, wondering if the steering wheel retrofit is currently available and/or what the wait might be. And I can't tell availability because the Tesla app only shows it if you have an eligible car, which I don't, yet. Anyone try to...

Not sure about how it looks in other regions/markets but right now there are 29 new Model S's and 28 Model X's in existing inventory in the Chicago area, including many LR. Normally there are only a handful, typically all Plaid. And this is after the price drop. What's going on? Has demand just...

Do any of you refresh Model S/X owners park at home in a such a way that it requires a 3 point turn to get in/out of your garage? Wondering how well the auto gear selection on the refresh S/X handles that - does it learn over time and improve? Or do you pretty much have to swipe up/down on the...

The yoke and related controls on the refresh MS/MX is an endless source of debate, but every thread devolves into endless subjective arguments and YouTube comment section style insults. For those still considering buying a refresh Model S/X, it's hard to tell whether the yoke works well for...

Had the P85D with the + suspension for over 7 years now. Still drives like new, and nothing beats the open pano roof on a nice summer day. And great to have free premium connectivity and unlimited Supercharging, even with the limited 85 battery pack charging speeds. But with just over half a...

I rented a Plaid on Turo yesterday to get some first hand experience with the yoke before my LR arrives. Overall the car felt great, obviously the acceleration but also the suspension, fit and finish, comfort, etc. The yoke is a borderline deal killer though. It wasn’t bed on the highway and...

I really hate plastic / vinyl interiors - they squeak, don't age well, and are much less comfortable than real leather because they don't breathe as well. Wondering if anyone has gotten the genuine leather interior upgrade kit from TSportline for their Y. Are you happy with it? Any...

My LR delivery date is coming soon but I'm still on the fence about the LR vs the Plaid, getting an MYP instead, or hanging on to my P85D until there are more interesting options on the market. Tesla has no MS demos available for test drives, and nobody knows if/when they might get some...

I've been tracking new inventory cars as they show up, and noticing batches of Plaids almost daily, in various locations across the US. None of them are demos, as supposedly the stores aren't allowed to offer test drives until sometime in Q1. According to the SAs I've talked to, they are all...

Anyone have a white MS refresh with (ideally) 20" Martian or Tsportline TSS wheels on it and could share a photo or two? Love the look of the arachnids but don't want to deal with 21"s on the Chicago area streets, so I'm getting the Tempest 19s and plan to replace them with either of those...

Wondering if anyone might be interested in a 2018 deep blue metallic long range Model 3, with enhanced autopilot (no FSD). 19" sport wheels, with 17K miles. Original owners no accidents, never smoked in. Might have a few little scuffs inside from kids but overall in perfect condition. Located...

About to pull the trigger on a the MS LR, and will probably just stick with the 19" for all the usual reasons why that's a better idea in a place like the Chicago area. I've been on 19"s with my P85D since 2015 and it's been fine. But the 21" Arachnids just look so great on the new refresh MS...

Has anyone gone from a P85+ or P85D with the + suspension to a Model S Plaid or LR refresh, and can provide some perspective on how the suspension and handling compare? I'm close to pulling the trigger on a new MS long range, but there are none to test drive. I've had my P85D with the + since...

Anyone else lose their LTE connection tonight? Mine just dropped suddenly, and won't reconnect even after screen reboot. I'm in the Chicago area

Got a call from an inside delivery specialistist a few weeks ago about a possible delivery date of 8/25 (for a non performance dual motor 3). Did not give much detail and has been hard to get hold of since then. It's a week out from delivery, my account page still shows estimated delivery of...

Bought these in December 2015 as winter tires for my P85D, used for 4 months or approximately 2000 miles. I decided against swapping tires every winter, given the relative lack of snow in the Chicago, so am looking to sell them. They are a set of 4 Hankook W310 Winter Icept evos, one of the few...

Got the invitation email to schedule a test drive next week, but the RSVP app seems to be broken. Anyone else seeing this $RESULT error message?

I'm going aftermarket for winter wheels and tires, and need a shop that is familiar with the Model S for wheel and tire swaps, balancing, etc, ideally somewhere on the Chicago North Shore. There is one that Tesla service recommended - DR Auto Works, but they will only do work with wheels/tires...

How many Model S's can you spot? The Best Cars of 2015 - Consumer Reports

Trying to decide between the three colors (silver, grey, or black) for my steel grey MS, leaning toward black: Steel Grey Tesla Model S - 19x8.5 Matte Black T Sportline Tesla Wheels Would love some "real world" pics and/or any feedback on the wheels.

I have a P85D arriving in Chicago within the next week or so, but have recently come to the conclusion that the 85D would have been a better fit, after getting a chance to drive it recently. Assuming the order can be transferred, any interest out there in a grey on grey P85D with 19" base...

http://www.quorumreport.com/Quorum_Report_Daily_Buzz_2015/state_republicans_formally_support_tesla_sales_in__buzziid23336.html Not sure what this means in terms of the overall legislative process, but sounds like the state GOP has actually chosen to stand for free market and innovation despite...

So I was on the fence for ages between the 85D and the P85D, and ended up sticking with the latter. The car just finished production, probably waiting to get on a train. My big regret is not waiting until I could actually test drive both. I did drive the P85D back to back with regular 85s, and...

All the P85D efficiency discussions lately have been focused on range mode, which seems to max out torque sleep. But what are people seeing these days for non range model efficiency, in normal driving? And if you had a previous MS, how does it compare to that? Thanks in advance.

Tesla P85D review | Auto Express "Tesla’s P85D uses dual motor, four-wheel drive technology to deliver a supercar-smashing 682bhp in ‘Insane’ mode. Wow!" "...really pushes the boundaries of electric car motoring and is arguably the first fully-electric car a petrolhead can get excited about...

So I just got the "your Model S is about to enter production" email from my DS. I originally had an 85 on order, then changed to 85D when the Ds got announced, then a few weeks ago asked to change to the P85D after a couple of euphoric test drives. With that euphoria in the relatively distant...

According to one of the Chicago stores, P85Ds demo cars are in production now, and should be available for test drives late Nov, with 85Ds right after the holidays. Anyone heard anything different, maybe on the West coast?

At the D unveil, Elon talked about the P85D having a performance setting of "insane", in addition to normal and sport. That was the first time I heard of any kind of a setting that affects performance other then steering, and there doesn't seem to be any info out there on this yet, other than a...

SJC rules for Tesla in fight with car dealers - Metro - The Boston Globe "...Massachusetts State Auto Dealers Association...did not have legal standing to block Tesla’s business approach under a state law designed to protect franchise owners from carmakers" Nice to see on a day of carnage for...

Might sounds like a strange question, but I'm on the fence between the S85 and P85. Leaning toward the latter so I don't end up with regrets down the road, even though it's obviously overkill in terms of performance, especially here in Chicagoland. However, I'm concerned that the acceleration...
