    18'' winter wheels on Model S

    I'd also love to hear if someone has put 18" wheels on a Model S, since I'm interested in getting winter tires. Reddit discussion seems to say it's not going to work without custom wheels - the issue is whether it can clear the big brake calipers:

    Buying used Model 3, new model 3 or Kia EV6

    Can folks spell out what features the newer years add, compared with the 2018 model 3? These are the ones I see: later years got a heat pump, later years lost radar. Fit and finish probably got better in later years

    Is there any way to find out what drive unit revision is currently in the car? I asked the Service Center to check, or at least to let me know if it had been replaced (I'm pretty sure the previous owner said it has not), but I'm not super confident they will tell me. Is there some app that...
