2021 MS 19” Tempest Delivery Tracking

[RobK]

are there body differences between LR and Plaid?

Not that I am aware of but it will confirm that they have started building MS LR with 19" wheels.

I posted something similar on main thread but it got buried real quick in some pi$$ing match so thought I would post here.

If we are taking delivery of the MSLR and 19-in summer tires in the middle of winter could we have Tesla change out the tires to winter tires before taking delivery? I will be picking up the car in Kansas City with a 3-hour drive north with estimated delivery of January or December. Any other ideas?

Any chance that they deliver all seasons for the colder climates?

Thx!

Just got back in town and drove her for the first time just 2 hours ago. And Oh. My. Goodness! I am so blown away, happy, and exhausted!

Woo-hoo

And I can't think of anyone better to represent the 19's. Great posts already showing the wheels with the cap off, mudflap installs, and the shiniest MSM I've seen yet. Great job!

I bookmarked your post on how you detailed your car, then created a wish list on Amazon for each product. To be honest, I do not know if I have it in me to due all that work. Maybe a few years back, but not so much now. I may just pay someone to do a ceramic for me. Considering PPF too.

Hey, I'm 57 and was able to do it all in a day! You can do it! BTW, here's an "Impressions" post I just put up. Enjoy (or not)!

August build - MS Plaid, w/ FSD and 19s (First Driving Impressions vs. my traded M3+)

Hello all, As many of you know, I have posted quite a bit about my new Plaid experience, and mods, in the various Refresh LR/Plaid delivery threads. As requested by some, this thread is to capture "initial driving impressions," as compared to my very nice June 2019 build Model 3 DM LR with...

Here’s some more

What size are the year tires? Guess that means the rim is a bit wider as well.

Just for everyone's reference on tire size for the 19's are
Front: 255/45/R19
Rear: 285/40/R19

Any chance you could post a picture of the whole car with the wheel covers off?

I'd like to see some pics of @afarkas2222 MS with the covers off the 19s as well. That's a non plaid, right?

dumb question, I guess you have to drill a hole? are existing holes being used? I thought I saw a youtube video that used grommets to install it without damaging the car.
