    Sorry - I should have been more specific. Thanks for your reply. You have got the correct location. It doesn’t look like a hotel.

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    I just got confirmation from the local service center (Portland, OR) that they got the winter tires for Model 3 performance (20’ inch wheel with performance brake). The tires are Pirelli Sottozero - $2000 installed. New set of 20’ rims are $2600. The prices are very steep. Thoughts?

    Thoughts on winter wheels/tires - aftermarket or Tesla?

    That’s what I was told. They said to order the tires (whenever they become available) to my home and then make an appointment with Tesla mobile service. I am also waiting to see how well this is going to go.

    Thoughts on winter wheels/tires - aftermarket or Tesla?

    Tesla mobile service will swap out the tires for free at you home - if we have bought the tires at Tesla shop. I am waiting for Tesla to come up with winter tires for 20” sport wheels. I want to use the same wheels if possible.

    Adding FSD before VIN assignment

    That is very weird. IMO the sales people, although good, doesn’t have great understanding what happens after a order has been placed. I would wait till they find your vehicle and speak to the delivery advisors. They seem to have much more accurate knowledge. I will be glad to send you my...

    Initial impressions Model 3 Performance bs 85D model S

    I took delivery of my P3D today. We have a MS85D. There is lot of discussion about the price of P if it is worth it. IMO this is the best dollars I have spent in a car. P3D is way better. I didn’t realize 4.3s vs 3.5s makes such a big difference. Very early for me but flooring the pedal on P3D...

I live in the NW and I got a email from a delivery advisor located at Las Vegas informing me that they have the car ready for delivery. I called her straightaway and talked about how I am paying for the car...

    Adding FSD before VIN assignment

    Price for FSD 3k. No change in price or delay in delivery. But as suggested by others - it might be wise to wait till you get your VIN before placing the order.

    Model 3 Snow Chains for 19” Wheels Only?

    Thanks. I think I will change the tires to 20” all weather tire which should be good for most of the year as you mentioned. Only couple of times a year I will need snow chains to get out of the hills we live in. Thanks again.

    Thanks for your reply Lunares. I just confirmed my model 3 performance with performance package which comes with 20” wheels. I don’t want to be moving wheels around either. I am not sure about my options- should I ask Tesla if I can have 19” wheels instead of 20” so that I can use the snowchain...

    Consumer Reports reliability of Model S - worse than average

    I was troubled as many of us by the CR rating of Model S. So I dug deep into the methodology of CR. This is what I found: 1. They collect the data from some 4 million subscribers which result in a huge 'n' which is essential for any statistical analysis. Out of the ~ 750000 responses 1400 were...

    Elon Musk says some unwise things about Apple and their hires from Tesla !

    I didn't see anything wrong in Elon's statement. May be he is little upset about Apple trying to hire Tesla engineers. Apple as all the right to tempt Tesla engineers away and Elon has all the right to voice his opinion. Moreover I don't think Apple is a competitor to Tesla. (I wish they are...
