Wiki Model S Delivery Update

They look much better than the old tempest but would look better in a darker paint. Bet they are heavy. Would consider them for winter wheels as well.

Looks like Tesla is going to charge us over $270,000 for a new Plaid. Very cocky those folks at Tesla.

Pay by Bank Cashier’s check on the day of delivery. No accidental double charging.

Old news. Haha. They fixed it and gave a $200 store credit to those affected.

You can clearly see the link printed on the bottom of the paper and text from the pages in the back.

I didn't even know they still made printers!

Looks like they changed the 19inch rims that are under the wheel cap.

Those are some ugly wheels. Incentive to keep the wheel covers on.

I actually like them better than the previous ones (it’s all subjective of course). To me, the tempest aero covers are uglier.

Yes, the Tempest covers are are pretty bad. Basically a beautiful car with bad wheels. Does anyone offer anything other than swapping the wheels?

I’m going to powder coat the tempest covers. I think the bright silver looks horrible. If powder coating doesn’t help, I’ll get 20” T Sportline.

Some of T Sportlines are heavy or just as heavy as stock... consider getting lighter wheels to improve range and performance (ie. turning, braking, swerving, etc).

Guys, multiple wheel/tire threads for discussing those. Let's keep on topic

21” arachnid or 19” base

Would you recommend 21” ( extra 4500$) or the 19” base for my MS plaid refresh and why? many reason besides little extra range with 19

Model S 2021 refresh tire / wheel size

Moderator note: The starting posts in this thread were moved from the "Model S Delivery Update thread", in response to some photos of the 2021 refresh on a car carrier. Most importantly - can anyone read the tire size on the rear??

My sale advisor just texted me unsolicited and said 10-24 weeks. I had placed original order January 1, and had it converted shortly after the announcement of the refresh. In the Midwest. Plaid/white exterior/black interior. Just wanted to give you guys another data point.

I agree, but we need to find a lighter option in 20”. I really don’t want 21” wheels having to use 295-30 tires. I’d probably go with 285/295-35 on 20” wheels.

10-24 weeks! Good lord, they're all over the place

Damnnn first time I’ve seen any estimate with 24 weeks ‘September’

As so many have already stated, the sales advisors are running blind and know as much as the rest of us. His text to you is irresponsible.

24 or 14? Typo maybe?

This.

You guys would be right it was a typo though I would not be surprised at this point if it was 24 weeks. Sorry if that made anybody really nervous.

For what it’s worth I was told I was “priority” too and given that $2k discount for the converted order.
