Anyone bought the track package for a daily driver?

This is all they've got posted so far. I've asked for more:

I wouldn't fly anywhere until they've posted 100+ high resolution photos. Currently, there aren't any.

Yeah. The car is in transit. Looks like they bought it from a carmax auction in CA. Arriving Monday. I'll take a close look at the photos and then fly down... If it is ultra red, that would indicate it was built 2023 after the last set of changes. So, the only thing it's missing is the center horn. I'm cool with that. Unclear if it is yoke or wheel....

I don't know why someone would get rid of their Plaid after less than a year and 12k miles, though... Hopefully not a lemon buyback and then auction... I wonder if Tesla buys it back, does that show in the carfax?

A retrofit is likely in your future so it almost doesn't matter if it's a yoke or wheel.

haha. I don't know if the wheel falls apart, but if it is the yoke, I can look forward to it peeling and getting a new one.

The seat has fewer wrinkles than the car I rejected yesterday....

Can someone let me know what to look for on a car with the track package? I just saw one listed that supposedly has the track pack. I can see the wheels and what looks like bigger brakes. Yup, can see the carbon ceramic rotors. I assume it should also say something on the "additional vehicle information" screen under software about the brakes?

I just saw a '23 with the track pack pop up for sale for $87k. I was going to go new, but that's pretty compelling. Looks like it was auctioned through Carmax, but I can't see the price.

I see that too, in Roswell GA? I’m also interested in it lol

They said someone put a deposit on it, sight unseen. So, I might have been too slow

I use to daily the stock set up for a while until i caught a nail in the tire. They werent too bad when I used them in the summer but they definitely kick up a ton of rocks. Im on michelin PS4S in the same size now with over 8k miles since first getting the track pack. Only thing i dislike is Tesla still hasnt put an option for the 20 inch wheels so the speedometer is still off.

Rim size doesn’t change circumstances. Speedometer will be the same.

I stand corrected………

I think he means that there isn't a perfect match tire size with 20" rims, so the diameter ends up a bit smaller than stock.

I just put the 19’ rear tire and wheel in the computer vs the 20’ track pack rims and tires and yes they are different (wow.) I know for a fact the tesla software doesn’t account for difference in the diameter. (Basically its for a different looking picture for the app)
Yes it’s actually off -2.8%. At actual 200mph ur really doing 193 ish.

And 305/35/r20 is too tall, right?

Just confirmed. 35 profile is too tall, but less off than the 30 profile. But, I'd probably prefer to have more torque than more top speed. Especially since it already goes 200+ mph with the track pack tires.

That is what i thought too but the first video car has the full track pack setup and looks like it hit 200 or 323 kph on the draggy in the video. And the second one i think its on the 21s and was able to hit 324 kph on draggy.

I ran a 305/35/20 set up before i had the track pack when the 295/35/20 were out of stock and they fit pretty decent.

Traction will be your issue, not micro-levels of torque. The car is still spinning at 70+

Yup agree! traction is always the issue.

The 21” Arachnid are interchangeable with the 20” Zero G track wheels—not sure the 19s are.

The 19"s are not compatible. So if you upgrade to the Track-Pack your 19" rims/tires will no longer fit (according to the Tesla site):

Can the average Tesla SC install the Track Pack? I’m in Tulsa and I don’t believe my SC has ever installed one.

Should I let them do it or go to a different SC?

Being first has me a little nervous.
