Just put on any classic rock station for an hour. You'll hear "Money". Apparently it's the only song Pink Floyd ever released to a radio station.

What is your experience with this system actually saving your bacon?I actually included a photo of the receipt with the cost breakdown. I do plan to speed a lot and spend some time in triples alley when it’s safe to do so (no risk to passengers or other drivers). As you’re probably aware North Carolina is the home to NASCAR (plenty of drivers that like to race) so enforcement tends to be harsh. Further I live smack dab in the area of a number of race team headquarters so plenty of opportunities for the police to pass out tickets.

Not much yet as I just picked up my car today. Tomorrow I’m driving approx 220 miles through areas where I know there will be opportunities to earn tickets so I’ll be sure to report back.
With the guidance of @lolachampcar I installed the perfect compromise to 19's and 21's.
20" TSW Nurburgring 20x10. With tires they are 54.3lbs. The 19's I replaced are 57 and for sale here in case anyone is interested.
For tires I went with @lolachampcar recommendation as well, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S 275/35ZR2 on all 4 corners.
2021 Black Tempest Wheels From Plaid
I will have a set of Model S Plaid Tempest Wheels in Black with Tires and TPMS complete for $2000 this week. Less than 500 miles. Tires alone are $1400, TPMS are $300. So you are getting wheels for $75 Each! These are new take-off's no scratches or anything. I would STRONGLY prefer Local...teslamotorsclub.com
Im VERY happy with how they look on the car. They are a bit more noisy that the 19's
I have yet to stomp on it to see how they do as far as straight line traction. (Im really hoping for an improvement there.

I might go this route as well. They look awesome and 1/2 the price of the Signature wheels.
I think this is the first video I have seen with 19inch wheels on a dragstrip.
Yeah I was looking at the matte bronze color, so nice!
Even though the Pirelli Elect on the 19s are summer tires, they are nothing like the Ps4s. The Pirelli Elects are probably similar to performance all seasons.
I just watched the end of the video. The performance of the 19s vs 21s are almost identical. Maybe a very slight nod (a few hundreths) to the lighter 19s.
Can you confirm that Autopark is showing in your onscreen manual? It is still missing for me on 2021.32.5 and is not in my release notes or onscreen manual either. It is however in the manual that can be downloaded from Tesla. Thanks.

Great choice! I have these wheels on my Model 3 (staggered) and love them. Wish I could transfer them to my S when I get it. Would definitely consider getting them again. The only pain was getting some aluminium hub centric rings custom made. They can also be a pain to get off when changing wheels!With the guidance of @lolachampcar I installed the perfect compromise to 19's and 21's.

From my experience and now seeing this the 19’s are carrying more mph in the 1/8 than the 21’s. I ran 4 consistent 121 to 122 mph with my 19’s. The 21’s seem to run more 118 to 119 mph’s
I will only speak from my experience with Anti-Laser Priority which I believe is the laser detection/jamming part of this system…
I use it on my GTR, and in Hawaii where they ran laser exclusively for years (including DragonEye, the hardest to jam), it saved my license countless of times, sometimes at speeds that would have yielded a revocation, not just a suspension. It was reliable, and I even left it on right past the officer (JTG, Jam To Gun) a couple of times to see what his reaction was as I went by. Pretty funny stuff. ALP is the best, and the only laser countermeasure I would trust. Once HPD added radar back to their program, the Escort did a great job (I only enable KA band as that is all Hawaii ran and seems like the only band the Houston areas runs).
That said, this Radenso system is ridiculously expensive to me, and I simply could not throw that kind of money at something like this, but I need to remember there are rich people on these forums that simply want the best. For me, $5k+ for this?! Aww hell no! I bought my ALP with two front sensors for like $750, installed it my self, and run an Escort Max 360 on a mirror mount (you want your radar sensing to be as high up as you can get it). That‘s around $1,400 all in, and very effective in my experience (Get a Uniden if you don’t like prefer).
For us budget minded folk, an ALP, Uniden or Escort for KA band, combined with Waze works wonders.

Supply mixed with demand mixed with a society of instant gratification individuals equals these prices.

Yep, if I could go back and not get this car, I'd do it. Oh well.
Does EZ Pass work on the windshield of your current S ? I had to mount on my front license plate of my prior S.
Probably need to do the same with the refresh but not sure.

I think my audio in the Plaid looks just great so there!
