I think having the VP of customer service from Lucid contact the owner about the original times and how to extract better times says a lot about how close in performance the cars are. It means little adjustments like tire pressure makes a world of difference. Lowering your tire psi means great...

The smaller lighter wheel/ thicker tires help launch the Plaid better than the Sapphire with the super low profile and larger tires and wheels. If only they made a stickier 19" tire then the times should be even better.

I try to floor it every chance I get...

These are from 6061 Vforged wheels. What I've noticed though thus far on 20" it really depends on the tire. I went with Pirelli pzero but without foam and it becomes much louder and rougher. If you like 19" ride and feel ALOT, then the 20" depending on the tire may not be your cup of tea...

I went with 20inch wheels with 255/40R20 front and 295/35R20 on the rear. But if you have a long range, you can always go same size like what some of the others on the forum have done. It really depends on what you want. Alot of variations you can try.

I didn't see it as I think its probably not in stock. I do see the style I bought on the Tesla Model Y though... Costco Velox Wheels | Select wheels for 2023 TESLA MODEL Y (19 inch))

1. search on amazon or internet for model S tempest caps and there usually is for sale caps that will fit. 2. spacers work but most you are adding more weight on the hubs. 3. 20 inch set up. Forged wheels 6061 Vforged by Velox. Those were available through Costco.

Thats of course a personal choice to bias towards brands but I dont believe wheels fall particularly well in the resell arena. The reason is that wheels are like a pair of sneakers. People collect them but once they are worn, that value pretty much hits the toilet. LIke used cars, unless you...

An interesting fact though is that Taiwan/chinese forgings have long been O.E for Mclaren , Bentley, Ferrari, and others.... Forged Wheels - SuperAlloy Industrial Co., Ltd. To the end consumer, its simply wheel snob marketing and how it sways you to open your wallet and part with more...

If you are talking about the aluminum billet forgings, compositions vary little but with high tonnage forgings the strength of the inherent material is typically sufficient regardless of country of origin... It more so boils down to how much each wheel manufacturer pares the weight off their...

My aftermarket wheel set up 20x10 and 20x11.5 is still lighter than the OE setup. But truth be told, the design on the O.E leaves a lot of areas where weight could be reduced along with their consideration of possible load and impact tolerances. Aftermarket wheels in general lack this...

My wheels are forged 20" wheels that are equivalent to OE 19" in weight and the 20" tires I use are same or close to the circumference as 19 factory... I run on the front 255/40R20 vs oe 255/45r19 which is at 88". The rear which is 295/35R20 vs oe 285/40R19 with a variation difference of 88.3...

Win on Sunday, sell on Monday.

Yes. I know most tires for Tesla have foam insert

Tires are a big sound generator. My previous Panamera 21" tires had sound isolation foam in the tires to dampen out sound. The sound varies depending on compound of the tires and tread. Not much you can do there.

I love the 19" in terms of comfort and range. Just updated to 20" but with same weight of the 19" 20x10 and 20x11.5 but with factory width tires in 20" for identical road contact. Will be checking to see how much range hit will be as there is no hub caps on these.

Wonder what the weight is on those forged 20"? I just put on 20x10 and 20x11.5 yesterday but with 255 and 295 widths to reduce drag and weight to be equal to the 19" oe...

Im scheduled for steering wheel installation next week. Keep the faith on the steering wheel... Im sure the package will come out eventually. But, Im still on the fence with the package as the tires are no good for daily, you cant go 200mph anywhere... , the brakes are good but how hard do...

I would prefer if they just updated to remove the speed limiter... as an over the air update...lol. I'll take care of the calipers my self thank you very much....

The comparo with sapphire and plaid is pretty pointless... why? Because acceleration above 1k hp is going to be fairly close in terms of feel, maybe a slight difference in terms of the blood rush to the back of your head? But for the difference in price, I can get another car or two or short...

I read somewhere its because they wanted a structural bar across the rear and thus had to resort to a normal trunk. But that imho is a dumb idea because it is a sedan and most consumers would wish for the flexibility a hatch offers... That was a deal breaker for me because their showroom is...

what brand is that one? Its not a Hanshow or tsportline

Should work as winter traction is not about width but the tread itself. People use smaller tires in winter all the time. You can always run 245/45R19 all way around for winter and depending on the offset works on the new S as well. I found some 19" winters that will work which are available...

Yep.. rattles and then you just adjust the housing a bit and it stops... til the next time....lol. Its more Italian than some Italian cars... 🤣

Sorry to hear about your issues. Things like this happen all the time. You never know because you dont know who did the mounting and balancing of the tire. Often times, just balancing it to the machine will not guarantee zero vibrations since you are mating a rubberband with imbedded steel...

if you have the swivel screen, its most likely the plastic cover in back of the screen... if its loose, then you will hear it...

well... if you still cant like the yoke... use this...

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Wheel locks are sort of the useless devices I would never purchase because most people would rather steal entire vehicles than spending 15-20 min putting on bricks and removing the wheel...lol. I would offer some advice moving forward for everyone to buy a...

A few hundred miles in and I think Im getting used to the Yoke... Its not going to be great for track use but Im not using mine for that. Its a daily freeway cruiser so its not a big issue...

I feel that 35-50 vibration up front when the car is lifted high... low mode it goes away...

I just got mine brand new with all the inherent quality issues. Wouldnt care for any issues done by someone else so... and not really caring about the depreciation because its not like its a classic car lol. You just have to understand you're gonna take a hit regardless... Besides, this car is...

I was really close to getting a Y performance... literally the car was being delivered to me (with fender misalignment issues...of course) where I stopped my purchase, forfeited my deposit and went for the S Plaid.... and three vins later, I got an S plaid. Why pay WAY more for an S? Apart...

i went through three different vin to "accepting" my plaid... so if there is a class action any time soon, Im down... But in the interim, Ill just enjoy the power and turn a blind eye to the shoddy quality... A funny thing is most of my conversation with my brother always has him saying as a...

Lucid designed is flawed... Putting a trunk instead of a hatch was a deal breaker for me. I get their logic about structural stiffness but most people care about cargo space more... So, a plaid 1k hp with a hatch is a perfect alternative to Taycan crossturismo... Sure the build quality sucks...

THANKS! Im excited to be picking it up today. Needless to say, we will be testing a few 20" wheel set ups to obtain the best compromise between weight/performance/comfort.

But on a slight update for my delivery, because my plaid with 21 had a big bumper gash .... and new bumper replacement is not until the 20th... I decided to swap to another plaid in stock which has 19" instead... My only gripe with Tesla is if qc could get a bit better... other than that their...

Hi guys, Im taking delivery of my plaid (hopefully this week due to bumper defect upon inspection....) I also looked at the Taycan Cross turismo 4S , turbo and after going through 3 dealers and getting the "we wont sell to you unless its 25-35k over msrp" response, I started looking at the...

Thanks! got it. will give him a call.

Im in the inland empire area. where did you get yours done and how did it cost with tint windows?

Hi guys, Im new to the forum and in socal. Wanted to get a referral to a reputable ppf shop that can do a full ppf at a reasonable price. Budgeting with window and roof glass tint and full wrap at 5k possible?
