Wow! That's an incredibly expensive upgrade! More than double the price of the original cost of the upgrade...
and $2400 for tires? Are all of you ok with spending $2400 for new tires every 5-10k? You do realize that any notion of "being green" or "saving money on gas" is completely negated by anyone getting 21" tires like this, right?
I don't know about most of you, but I stretched my budget for this Tesla. Currently I drive about 60,000miles/year. I recognize that is more than 2-4x than most people. For me, a P85+ w\ those tires would cost me anywhere from 6-12 replacement sets per year given their 5k lifetime. That's about $14k-$28k of tire maintenance cost PER YEAR. Obviously, out of my budget. Probably out of all your budgets too unless your millionaires. But I realize none of you drive as much as I do anyway.
But lets say you drive 15,000 miles/year which is probably more realistic. You'll probably have to replace those rear tires 3x and the front tires maybe once. That's still almost $5k/year in tire maintenance. Personally, I still wouldn't be OK with that. At 15k miles/year, if you were driving a 30mpg ICE car, assuming $3.50/gallon, you'd spend $1750/yr in gas. So basically this would cost you 3x more per year in maintenance than an ICE vehicle.
I know I've been pretty loud about the real true cost to own 21" tires (I guess its not really specific to the + package, however the tires on the + package are $500/tire on tirerack or over $600/tire from Tesla...[actually I thought they were closer to $1000/tire at the service centers]), so my sincere question to all of you here is this: are you ok with that type of cost of maintenance every year? Even if you are a super duper millionaire, most of you probably got that way by being smart and making practical decisions. This doesn't seem like one to me. That is why I fail to understand why any practical person would want to do this.
