    P85 19" wheel width and max tire width?

    Anyone know how wide the wheels are on a 2013 P85 19" stock wheel? What is the widest tire I can install for the rears? I currently have 255/45 tires which fit, but I'm considering putting some 265/45 tires on the rear for better traction. Still getting some slip with max acceleration from full...

    Are Pilot Sport 3's directional?

    Can't find this on google or on our forums, but are the Michelin Pilot Sport 3's unidirectional? I want to know if I can cross rotate them, or only front to back. Thanks

    Cross Rotating Michelin MXM4 19"

    Been searching on the forums, but haven't really come across any definitive answer in my search. On inspection of my 19" MXM4's I don't see any arrows to indicate the tires are directional, or the words "outside only" to indicate the tires are asymmetrical. If that's the case, I don't see why...

    Jack Point contact for Bottle Jack

    If I use a bottle jack that has a round contact point that fits into the recessed hole on the jack point, is there metal behind the hole that can hold the weight of the car? Or is the recessed hole purely for placement purposes so the weight of the car must be supported by the surrounding 2"X3"...

    Alliant Credit Union

    So seems like many people used Alliant Credit Union to fund their MS purchase, as did I. They offered the best rate at the time when I was looking for funding. It also seems like many of the representatives seemed great & very competent. I obtained a great rate from them (1.49%), but my...

    Supercharger & Tesla app

    Don't know if this is possible, but I figure since our phone's Tesla app is linked to the car, would it be possible to contact another MS owner's phone at an occupied supercharger station once the other person's charge is complete, so they can return & move their vehicle for the next MS? Maybe...

    Tesla: very baby friendly

    I didn't think I could love anything more than my wife & my MS. But the moment my daughter was born yesterday, I fell in love again & momentarily forgot about the car. Today I picked up my babies (wife & daugter) with my other baby (MS), and realized what a perfect car it is to own if you have a...

    Did Tesla mess up your paint job?

    There are multiple threads with owners who picked up MS's with significant swirl marks from Tesla after their detailers ruined the original factory pain job. When you picked up your MS, did Tesla wash & detail your car, or was it left as is after manufacturing? I requested Tesla not to touch my...

    How many of you bought Tesla's ESA / Service Plans ?

    I'm curious on how many people bought Tesla's service plans, ESA, or didn't get either? Was reading the contracts on TM, & seems like the service plans may not be all that worth it given most repairs people have had were either covered by warranty or were official bulletin repairs that would...

    fire safety dilemma

    Initially I'd like to install a rate of rise heat detector above my Nema 14-50, however all of them require hard wiring, which is not available in my garage. Instead, I'd like to do the next best alternative of installing a smoke detector without the carbon monoxide component since wife is still...

    How many speeding tickets since getting your Model S?

    Just curious, but how many have gotten speeding tickets since getting their S? And how many tickets so far? With such a quiet car, it's not surprising that many may overaccelerate slightly without noticing =) Any interesting stories?

    Model S insurance question

    I just got a few quotes for my P85. The company that gave me the best deal quoted me very low $500s semiannually with $2000 deductible & high $700s for $250 deductible. It's my first time buying a new car, so not sure whether a low or high deductible is more advantageous for a new car, of if it...
