    Show off your aftermarket wheels.

    What about drilling a small pocket into the rims (like the factory wheels)? The bolt doesn't look to protrude too far out. Maybe another possible solution would to have a plate, with a hole cut out for the T45, that is sandwiched between the rotor and rim. BTW, you mentioned spending $1000+...

    Show off your aftermarket wheels.

    Bulletproof, I have some ADV.1 and have problems with brakes. It's has been discussed in other threads. Just wondering how your rims are working out.

    Warped brake rotors with aftermarket rims installed

    I have aftermarket wheels and rarely use the brakes or brake really hard. I try to use the regen as much as possible yet I have the vibration issue. I read on the forums other people having the same problem with aftermarket wheels. After I got my wheels, I got a torque wrench to verify the...

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    What does "Download album / artist cover" mean? One thing I've been wanting is to use my album art (art embedded into the song) rather than the art found on the database that Tesla uses.

    Supercharger - Oxnard, CA (EXPANDED Jun 2018, now 20 total)

    I live in Riverpark, so I could walk to the Superchargers. Unfortunately, I have a 40kWh won't be able to use them :'(

    Is Tesla bringing back the 40 kWh?

    As a 40 owner, it's 140. That's what I tell everyone.

    Unusual use of Frunk? Reporter wants to know.

    That's what I do, except it's my stinky soccer stuff. Since the frunk is completely isolated, I can throw smelly stuff in the frunk and not worry about it stinking up the rest of the car (love this feature). Also, a bad thing too if you forget to pull the stuff out. I am one buyer who uses...

    Why did you switch rims? http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/11032-Model-S-Window-Tinting/page21?p=371932&viewfull=1#post371932 I liked the previous rims.

    WTS 19" Factory Model S Wheels and Tires

    Got 20" ADV1 07.1. I'm a bit disappointed, because they could be more concave. Found out after the fact that they had never manufactured for MS, so maybe they were playing it safe. One of these days, I'll post pictures of them on my MS. PO 3787 Photo by ADV1Production | Photobucket

    40 kWh Delivery Timing

    When I first got the car, it had 144. I did a probably two mile laps; I didn't baby it. I then drove home (47 miles) averaging 70ish, and I got home with 95 miles left. Today, I took basically the same commute (40 miles) and had 92 miles left. The difference might be due to a steep grade. I...

    Freshly wrapped Model S with Vossen 22's

    Nicely done! What a beautiful match with color of the rims and the wrap. What are the dimensions of your 22? Love how the rears are concaved.

    Dr Taras' Model S gets customized!

    Pretty slick. However, I would do my own mod by adding a wireless charger pad. The S4 will have the capability to charge wireless.

    Very nice. I'm sure the car looks better in person. Is there a difference between this and flat white? Are you planning on doing anything to rims? Perhaps a flat black, powder coating? Did you do anything to the side turn signal? Can't quite tell.

    40kwh Model S canceled

    I totally relate to your post. I'm an engineer as well, and my work is the same way. Someone at my work has a new Audi A7 which IMO is the best car in the lot. When I started looking for a car to buy, I was looking to spend around 35k. Then I justified the expense of the MS with the money...

    40kwh Model S canceled

    I totally relate to what you're saying. I've been waiting since April '11 and have seen the delivery push back, back again, and a little further. I remember back in mid 2012 being in a Tesla showroom, and there was an older gentleman who had a higher reservation number than me. He joked about...

    40kwh Model S canceled

    How would the 60kwh people feel that the 40kwh cars got the same thing but paid 10k less. I'm just thankful that they didn't limit the 0-60. And on top of that, you now have a supercharger.

    40kwh Model S canceled

    So I guess they plan on using software to limit the pack? Justin Hyde (Justin_Hyde) on Twitter Found this article: Tesla Lowest-Spec Model S, Expects Full Profitability in Q1 | Autopia | Wired.com

    I hope your source is right. It would be welcomed news for us 40's.

    Tax Credit Help

    Do you know if you can extend the tax credit over a certain time period (i.e. three years)? My friend was telling me some credits work that way.

    Vossen VVSCV3

    These rims remind me of what's available on the Audi A7. A good choice because MS is often compared to the A7. IMO, the two have similar a body and lines. I was using this website to pick to out my rims. If I had known Savini made the SM8 and SM9, I would have definitely considered them.

    How did it cost you for the paint protection? Ballpark figure. The film looks pretty cool.

    Model S Exterior: Paint Armor

    Wow, I thought paint protection covered the whole frunk. Very disappointing.

    Model S Exterior: Paint Armor

    I wouldn't get the paint armor. It's pretty extensive for what you get. Plus it doesn't cover the headlights or rear bummer. Probably get a more comprehensive package for less money through an aftermarket.

    Would you buy 19 inch turbine wheels?

    Actually I've found the 40's have similar tread life to the 45's (19" all weather). In fact, this 40 is cheaper than this 45. Go figure.

    Would you buy 19 inch turbine wheels?

    Is it possible to get 20" rims with 40 profile tires? My concern is the tread life is too low for 35 profile tires.
