Personally think those 19 "rims" are darker in person (or photos) than what the designer credits them to. Looks great. Thanks for the photos and enjoy your Plaid. I do think you are the first 19" owner on TMC.

Is that a mud flap on your last picture? I’ve read the separate thread and thought lack of flaps was a big problem/causing paint chipping.

Congrats! Would love your impressions on how it handles relative to your model 3. Also would love to hear your thoughts about the extra width. I love that my 3 drives like a go kart and is easy to maneuver in the city, so your thoughts would be helpful on what to expect. Thank you!
Is there a good thread for that conversation? I've heard to wait for the paint to fully cure, but I live on gravel and am concerned about chips...Got vin this evening...its been crazy 9 months. now the real count down begins
Now have to find good inspection list and decide how will handle ppf n tint

Thanks! That’s a tough question. The 3 would be better weaving and tucking down town, but I was surprised the S didn’t feel as big as I was expecting. Handling wise, I would say the 3 is more tossable, but go kart driving for me is my NC MX5 Miata! Still need to learn and play with Plaid’s suspension setting to accurately gauge the true differences. Overall, I was expecting a boat like feel, but that’s not what it feels like. Pleasantly surprised. You can definitely tell it’s a heavier car than the 3.

They are Pirelli electa PZ4s. Kinda a bastard tire, custom made for Tesla. I do need to check the sidewalls in the morning, re category. They ride smooth and quiet, while still letting the Plaid hit 60 under 2s! Wheel unsprung weight with 19” is much lower than the 21s as well.
I'm still not sure why you're posting (and keep posting) this in the LR thread. Good luck. Hope you're getting rid of those nasty rims on that car. They look cheap on a car that is $130k+ but I guess each to their own. Duces.

My EDD was 11/14-12/4 from the big update earlier in the week.
Today, it's moved up 5 days to 11/9-11/29.
So, there's a little more hope that I'll get this car in time for my Thanksgiving road trip. Fingers are crossed!
