Our 2019 stealth came with 19s.

It happened a fair amount with the P- that were built on speculation. I assume that it was either Tesla trying to increase sale price or that they just had more 19" rims than 18" rims in inventory and were using the spec build to use up and balance their parts inventory.Bizarre. But nice for you!

If you were buying a P- without ordering you just took the closest you could get on the options they built with, like a traditional automobile dealership.
The vast majority (at least based on what I read here) were with 18s. Who even knows what happened behind the scenes at Tesla...
I recall that when you unselected the Performance Package the wheels went back to the Aero wheels, which are 18s. But I'm also not sure if there was another option for 19s or not. I want to say no as well.The "orderable" P3D- from 2018 was 18s only
The 2019 "these just show up in inventory occasionally" P3Ds appeared with both 18s and 19s, and you had to pretty much take whatever you could get.
I don't recall if the 2020 P3D- for the brief time it was orderable (at the same price as a P3D+ so dunno if anyone actually ordered one) let you pick 19s or not... kind of inclined to say no but not certain.

There were different time periods on this. Sometimes it was already built ones that you had to ask a sales rep for. Those came in 18" or 19" rims, depending on what was in inventory. At a couple points in time (including right at the start in June 2018) you could order a P-, only with 18" Aeros IIRC, on the Tesla website. There was also a period in time where you could order one to build but only [like the LR RWD at the time] by phoning in your order, I can't remember if that was 18" only or you could request 19"?As far as I remember, no one ordered a stealth.

A friend of mine has the P3D- with the 19s... and it looks super.
I don't know why the 19s aren't more popular; they look great but aren't subject to the same issues as the super-low profile 20s. Especially here in the Northeast - pothole city wrecks those 20s something fierce.... not to mention they're wrapped in summer rubber, which is horrendous once the temperature dips below 40.
As far as I remember, no one ordered a stealth. People could grab a pre-production car via their SA and wait for it, but that was about it.
I also think that the 2020 stealths were the first P3D-'s that got a "performance" VIN. The VINs for the P3D+ and P3D- are indistinguishable.
In 2018 the P3D- was orderable right on the website for several months- in fact it was the standard performance model, and when ordering you could check the box to add the boat-anchor 20s, brakes, etc for $5000 more.
A few months after that they made the P3D+ the standard P and killed the P3D- entirely, you couldn't get one period. That remained true until early/mid 2019 when the first random "inventory" batch of P3D- cars showed up.
They've always been indistinguishable from each other VIN-wise.
Before 2020 the LR AWD was also indistinguishable from the P VIN-wise.
Performance DU, software acceleration setting (and Track Mode) without the PUP (Performance Upgrade Package) of 20" wheels, red brake calipers, spoiler, red underline badge, and 1cm suspension drop. AKA P- or 3DP-.Noob asks...what's "Stealth"?
takes off a like a rocket.
Thanks. Well, I still don't have a clue as to why Tesla isn't currently selling a P3D- at any price point. What I was firm on was that I didn't want the 20" wheels - as breaking a wheel or wrecking a tire seems of little benefit.
You have the great "plus" of EV's really excelling in performance. Why not take advantage of it. I had too many years of Porsches attracting cops like flies on sh1t. If I ever wanted to get anywhere fast, I would take the family car (usually a basic MB). Now I can get performance and not look like I have it. The 20" wheels are really not a big deal for me.
When I purchased a P3D- from general inventory, people were buying them up like you wouldn't believe. $2K was nice, but $5K or $7 would have been acceptable too. I just don't get it.
My 2020 P3D- has stock 18's. It's really sad that this is not an option anymore (or any P3D-). If I ever decide to "punch it" - no one ever sees it coming. Never.
