I’m not 100% sure I understand this, but are you sure the new narrower nuts can handle the torque of the P85? There some discussion here for example (starting at post #7):

Well the tire shop torqued them to spec of 175 Nm. They're not tiny, they're just a bit slimmer to make it into the hole 
A pic from today as well.

Congratulations Mario!
The wheels are after market? First time that I see them. (Maybe that they are normal 19" Tesla wheels painted in black?)

They are aftermarket wheels indeed
That's where the whole nut saga came from By today I've started to see first impact of the media coverage. At least one person has ordered the Model S who had only been contemplating it before, but thought it too hard a process so while on FB chat I walked him through it and he's placed the order and paid the deposit now. He's also working on the paperwork already for the subsistence application. In addition to him I have two-three other people who called or wrote on FB chat that they too want to buy the car and how should the proceed, what were the steps and what extra stuff needs to be done. I've given to them the instructions and promised to help if they get stuck at any point.
The next surprising part was that insurance companies started to approach me to see if I'd already insured the car and if they could make a better offer. Who am I to argue in getting better offers
And I do love the car. I've not had the opportunity to really enjoy it yet, driven about 80km so far, but what I have used I've enjoyed
I am contemplating disabling sleep mode though as I don't drive enough per day to worry about vampire drain and it does take a few minutes for the car to wake up and if you then wait a couple more minutes without having asked the car to do something it goes happily back to sleep (The car's like me in mornings).

Yup, that's why I've pre-ordered the CHAdeMO adapter

And just now I got an e-mail from one insurance provider who provides special insurance for deductibles (reducing your cost basis further) where they offered me 1 year of full coverage of deductibles for free
Yay for Iizi insurance: https://www.iizi.ee/
And the video shoot from yesterday has gone live.

Wow, awesome!! I just have to ask, is finnish difficult for Estonians to understand? I do think the language is a bit simular to finnish and as a scandinavian it would be interesting to know
Estonian and Finnish come from the same language group so they are very similar. However finns have a tendency to use their own words for everything
But due to the finnish channels being the only non-soviet information source at the end of the 80's most Estonians can understand Finnish 
But it’s not work other way around, difference is more like between English and Dutch, than Danish and Swedish…
And similar words only add confusion: halb = low quality (bad), halpa = low price (cheap).
And now something totally different: Capitalistic propaganda, and a story about it. ;P

Mario,
Thanks for the ELMO link. Estonia's promotion of EVs is outstanding. I think installing the DC fast charge network is a really smart way to enable EV sales. This may produce better and faster results than Norway's incentives, and for less investment. :smile:
I see the ELMO web lite lists one Model S in service. Must be yours!

Alright, I've now driven 800km with the car, am extremely happy with it and today created a Facebook community for Estonian Tesla fans (in the inaugural 24h we've already exceeded 100 members). And today in the morning I got a package from Tesla. In it was a christmas present from Tesla Motors EU
The jacket with red TESLA letters was my wifes size and the fleece was my size And I had today forgotten my pullover at home anyway so it was nice to get warm again
