Plaid, Blue/Cream, CF, 19" wheels. 3/21 > 8/14
Congrats!! Looks great, I get mine later this week. ..
Are there any pics posted of the 19s without the caps?
@jebinc has a slew. Maybe he can link to some of this posts? I think they ended in the LR tracking thread, even though he has a Plaid.

Yeah, I drilled some holes. Easily plugged with push pins should I want to try molded ones someday. Right now, the real damage occurs when you go without flaps of some kind. Good luck!

Tesla lists two types of tires in the manual.
To my knowledge, all 19” deliveries thus far have been Plaids or located in California. Stands to reason those vehicles would only receive summer tires.
Once LR deliveries start in the Northeast we should see all seasons equipped.
yea really, I'll be pissed if I'm getting my LR in December in Ohio with summer tires
Historically, Performance models (i.e. Plaid) get Summer tires, and regular ones (i.e. LR) get all-seasons, regardless of tire size, season, or location.
Congratulations ! Perfect for me if you have a blue Plaid, I ordered one too with the 19' wheels and I'm searching for pictures of the same car without the wheels covers, so pleaaaaase, be fair to take good shots and post them here. THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE and geetings from Switzerland!

Maybe some truth to that, though not everything in California is So Cal with blue skies and sunny days. This is a huge state with some significant mountain weather. Well, maybe except for this past year. In 2016, we had over 650" of snow just in one season. I plan to put winter tires on my stock Tempest wheels, and get another set with 3-season tires.

@BlueBeast - I can confirm this MotherFrunker is a BLUE BEAST. I can try to do as you ask though I am not mechanically inclined at all (HOW DO I DO THIS SAFELY?), and rarely have time for stuff like this until the weekend.
Greetings Switzerland!
I think they pop right off. You probably will need to know how to remove them anyway to clean underneath now and then.
Someone earlier walked up to a mule parked at a Tesla site and did it. Just glad he didn't get caught! I too would love to see photos, though I ordered a white MS.
@jebinc has a ton of photos and links in the LR thread. @jebinc can you link to that post?
With regards to ease of popping them of, they are just clipped on. Some force will be required to take them off and pop them back on, but you should not be worried about 1) being unable to take them off and 2) them flying off while driving (unless you mash a curb).
RN1147, MS, LR, White, Black, 19s, new EDD of Sept 2-22
