    Yep. I got that. I was pointing out that I like the 28" diameter as it would match the front diameter more closely. Additionally, my rear wheels would not work with 335s. To fit I would need another rear set. And I like a bit of bulge.

    Well, I would love to have that. BUT my offset is shite for it. *Sniffle*

    335!!! That is 1/2" taller than my 315s. Very close to original height.

    Someone may have posted this as it has been out for a while. I tend to doubt it as the total views number is quite low. Sadly, he does not have the rotational piece. Good analysis on the other stuff. Check it out.

    Really interesting... The black lug nut covers you show above do not appear in my version of the Tesla catalog. I see the arachnid lug nut covers, but they are not specified as black and the part number is different.

    The lugs are black in these pictures. Source? Would really like the black lugs as the stock units do not match with the blue/black theme of my car. (Gloss black SV104s) Thanks!

    Here is my example of their work... 315/30/20 rear and 285/35/20 front (10" and 11.5") Personal preference, I think the rotors fit 20s better. Similar setup. Cannot go wrong with either.

    @boskog they are gloss black. I had originally wanted triple tinted black. This worked out better for my taste as all the black on the car is gloss as well. Signature has a thread in the Driving Dynamics section. Vendor - Official Signature Wheel Gallery | Model S Plaid & Performance.

    I figure you must be talking about my pants and short bat syndrome. That would be more than 3/4" of tire sticking out... Uh nah. Here is an unedited picture, as close to straight behind as I could eyeball. It is just outside of flush versus the top of the fender. Wheel width is 11 inches...

    Fronts are 10" and the rears are 11". I love that stealth look. The boss would never go for it. Though blue is that favorite color of both buyers in this case.

    Here are two unedited pictures. (got my wife's feet in there too) It is just a tiny bit outside of the fender, basically at the bulge. This was the look I was going for, so they nailed it.

    I thought the guy said 1000 hp at the crank. Very cool video. I do believe a better driver would have closed the gap significantly. I think I recall Dragtimes videos with 1k hp 720s that broke into the 8s. Perhaps that was an actual 1k to the ground though, definitely a better driver.

    That is the exact spot where they parked my car for delivery on 9/19. It is dopey that they don't park it in the areas with rain protection. Would have loved some shade on 9/19 as that sun was beating down like a MF.

    I really don't understand all of this discussion. Early adopter with money will buy whatever the producers are cranking out. Then they will likely continue buying to maintain fanboi status. Price is not a great concern nor are additional options. (Apple comes to mind) This remains true even...

    And to be fair on the car fires, Tesla has a car fire rate of around 1 per 220 million miles, while ICE is something like 1 per 19 million miles. I have never seen this in any car fire article produced by prevalent media.

    This is why. Rimac Nevera was delayed due to COVID. They are planning to build 150. Production only restarted recently in 2021. My position is that the car will be fastest production car when they prove 25. I would love to see that they have produced that many. I cannot find such a thing.

    Try finding their production number. They have not hit 25. Does not count until they do. Funny enough, Wiki already updated quickest production car, even though they have stated 25 is the requirement.

    This has been an ongoing supply problem for some time. A few months ago, I recall the wait to get to a pier in SoCal was something around 2 weeks. It would make sense that this backlog is not getting better. Additionally, there is an issue with return of shipping containers to China. This...

    I get the sense that these dates might be an underpromise. (crazy, right) I don't have a particular reason for that besides optimism and the availability of the 19" wheels. First one coming on Saturday... Just feels like 19s are going to start rolling.

    I get to join the club. I really believe this might be a condition where they are underpromising. IF the 19" wheels start delivering this week, I would imagine stuff will come uncorked for a while.
