I'm NOT a smart man (FACT); I'll keep it simple. My opinion for me - S 19s - FUGLY!! S 21s - Arachnids & Michelin's ( I LIKE). ALL things considered, I am happy with my decision (for me); no regrets. Happy Hour Time now (somewhere). Later...
I'm inclined to agree with this as I've seen nothing to suggest that the drag coefficient of the car is dependent on wheels.
How did you establish that the offsets are correct and lug patterns are correct or did you order them custom?These are the ones I ordered in matte black.
Introducing the Vossen HF-3 Wheel
The flow forming process maintains the integrity of the design, while also improving the grain-structure of the aluminum, creating a stronger, lighter, and considerably thinner forged-like rim barrel.vossenwheels.com
Well that is where things got interesting. I ordered these thinking the car was coming in March and that these would fit according to the pre-refresh specs.
Yes!!! This is the single biggest pro for me of upgrading from the 3 so the S outside of material quality. I am very excited to hear just how big of a difference this makes.
Their 20" set-up, with wheels and tires starts at $3700 for the pre-refresh, though is much higher for the refresh. Those are pretty fancy rims though.

I ordered the same ones..... I purchased them a long time ago and it turns out obviously they will not be fitting. Make sure you confirm the ones you ordered with their engineer or else you are screwed. Luckily for me I ordered so early they will take them back.These are the ones I ordered in matte black.

Performance on the Plaid with 19s is the same as on the 21s. Not sure about cornering, but would think cornering would be better w/21s. I prefer a quieter cabin, so I went with the 19s.
Please share that if you get it before the larger audience. That is news. That falls into the "Tesla actually communicates" bucket of fallacies
I guess if this is also true, why is every account not just updated to February or March? Hate to be that one that says "do trust your SA", because I genuinely trust mine and he has always been honest (and accurate) with information. But some dates SAs have been throwing around are insane.
Shorter sidewalls will improve lateral acceleration (cornering ability) and the wheels definitely improve the “peacock factor” over the 19” wheels, which is a consideration for the halo version of MS. Whether that falls under performance is up to the observer.
Hi Druss, welcome to the forum. I'll compress about 1,000 posts here to let you know that your SA like everyone else's has no idea HOWEVER I think his/her/them may be closer to the truth as there are folks here ordered in late 2020 and are still waiting. There has not been one EDD or VIN issued to a Canadian and only in the last couple of weeks are we seeing more LR's going and even some LR/Plaid with 19s. Being that you ordered in late May and new order lead times a couple weeks ago went to Feb/March (and FOR SURE there are issues and delays so everyone here is waiting for an update from Tesla with baited breath) what you heard may be accurate. HOPE prevails right now on the forum and that the first wave cars get out in the EOQ push by end of September. I'll compress another 1,000 posts here to let you know (just ask LEO) that there is also a major randomness to whom gets their cars when and a bunch that were ordered later went sooner than others so many theories abound. A bunch of Canuck's have a WhatsApp chat going to keep close tabs on who finally gets an EDD (some of us have had a month appear but then disappeared and some still showing a month) but aside from that....for sure....everything will be later than sooner. Welcome to the forum !
