Got this email from Tesla regarding the new 19 inch wheels

I got the same. It looks like the 19 inch cyclones

 

Scott

What is the delivery timeline of your order? My order went into production on 3/3, and I'm still showing the previous wheels.

 

Same.. mine is schedule for late june to early july delivery... will have the new wheels.

 

So what do you all think of the new wheels? Makes the upgraded 19 cyclones redundant now don't they, why would you pay for them now?

I like them.

 

Love how they keep improving things!

 

Looks like they added the new wheels to the website.

 

Arrgh, I just paid for the Cyclones on my 2016 85D received 2/26/16 :crying:

 

Is anyone upset about this? Does anyone prefer the look of the old base 19" wheels over the new ones?

 

I like them, but all the wheels look the same now. Needs some diversity

 

Yeah! You'll love the car regardless! Congrats!

 

I think this could actually have some fairly serious effects on Tesla's margins on the Model S. I think these new base wheels are attractive enough that a lot of people won't opt for the upgraded 19" wheels ($2500) or the 21" wheels ($4500). The profit margin on those upgraded wheels is undoubtedly enormous.

 

It probably won't change those who want 21" all that much. It will change the 19", but I suspect that very few ordered the cyclones anyway--just not enough value for money.

 

Agreed.

 

Hmmm... I logged in this morning and saw I was in production. (Assuming means 3.5 - as it did not say that 3.4). No email, and my car has old rims in mytesla.

Unless the updates online are 24 hours late, I don't see how cars after 3.4 got the rims...

 

They are way better than cyclones. Grey 21" are still the way to go.

 

What status was your order in when you got this? I went into production last night and had chosen stock 19".
