    Any Model S Refresh/Plaid owners with the 21” Arachnid wheels regret not going with the 19” Tempests?

    It is good for 4% in range to stick with 19’s. That .2” equates to that basically. As to 20’s, track pack brake clearance and more available tire packages in 20”. I went 20’s for better side wall. My wife has 21’s on her BMW and it super annoying. 25 series tire in back is junk ride quality. I...

    2021+ Model S Safety Upgrade - rear doors

    Sorry, no. I used a small, 1/2 long black metric trim screw. I pre-drilled the plastic tab in the center. I am 6’4” and did not have a lot of room unless I pulled the seat and did not want to do that. The red loop has a thick double stitched end. The screw went threw the red strap into the...

    2021+ Model S Safety Upgrade - rear doors

    Country Brook Design - 1 Inch Winch Hook Pull Strap with Reflective Nylon - Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W5R7QQ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_reIsHhacPBNho I drilled a small 1/8 hole in the plastic “handle” and used a trim screw with washer through the non-looped end. Works perfect. Good tight fit...

    20" Wheel Fitment and Setups

    I am having a set of 20x9.5 and 20x10.5 built by H.R.E. Ordered in May. About 10 weeks for production. Custom bronze color and went with the acoustic Continentals that I am running on my M Sport I-performance Hybrid 740e. Black Carbon Center caps and lug nuts. With OEM Tesla Black TPMS. Have...

    2021+ Model S Safety Upgrade - rear doors

    A small area of concern was backseat door opening if power failure. Panic situation, safety or just slightly better option then designed by Tesla. I watched a video where a YouTuber said you can’t get out of back seat if power fails. Of course he was wrong. But digging around in a small hole for...

    Any Model S Refresh/Plaid owners with the 21” Arachnid wheels regret not going with the 19” Tempests?

    I am replacing my 19’s with 20” HRE’s and went with the Continental tires. I hate Pirelli and the Michelin in the size I needed was to summer based. Will send pics when wheels arrive and provide sound update.

    Need help with stance fitment on Model S

    He did the hard work, figured it out. Seems cheap to get the information. Granted, paying a stranger with no guarantee of info is kinda tough, but I don’t think it is wrong for someone to charge for their knowledge. I personally give away a lot of “free advice” but it that is me. I paid...

    Plaid Regrets?

    This! Well said and described. I have had the car 10 days. Love it. Still frustrated by FSD debacle. But will not be without one. Waiting on my wheels. HRE 20’s, custom finish, lug nuts and caps in route. Tires already here. Will post pics when done. HRE engineered size and specs for Plaid...

    Goodbye all; Good riddance Tesla

    I am new to ownership side of Tesla, but far from new to the automotive world. I love the drive. I love the engineering and the ideas. It is testament to human drive to create a car company that is successful for many reasons. Elon is not the company; thousands of people helped to build, design...

    Plaid Regrets?

    Cost my friend, cost….. Carbon brakes on real race cars are superior. But on a track, they must be replaced regularly. They need heat to work well. Squeal like a dying pig. For road use they are low dust and never need replacing for normal driving. My C6 ZR1 were the same at new and 30k miles -...

    Plaid Regrets?

    The 90 miles thing was more about getting use to the car and its quirks and features. It can go top speed at 1 mile......brakes may get scorched, but that is another issue. I have the 19's now, knowing I would change wheels and probably will stay with 19's....maybe 20's. Steel brakes are fine...

    Plaid Regrets?

    Just took delivery Yesterday. Love the acceleration. Have not tried Plaid speed yet....soon. Car has like 90 miles on it now. Sold my 2022 Kia EV6. I miss that car for its features - literally has more features than my car costing twice as much. BUT...even with dated design look, I still find...
