Why I want 19s:Tesla’s way of punishing us 19” folks for not going with the 21s
What version of the software are these newly-delivered cars running? And has anyone with a pre-refresh car received it?
- software - order of magnitude fast/better/more control and easy to use than previous Tesla software - will once again set a benchmark for the industry to attempt to catch
Thank you very much @uthatcher for these details!I found the corner handling to be excellent. It’s no lightweight and you won’t forget that. But it’s very composed, the steering it’s nice enough, although not overly communicative. The car is very,very planted. I find the ride to be superb in any setting.
I don't have a ton of miles on it so these were all first impressions. And my last S had 19’s so the 21’s and Michelin’s are a big upgrade in regard to handling Compared to the 19’s.
The car is so fast that the regen braking can’t even sort of keep up with the required deceleration for a tight road. I think I’ve used the brakes more in 30 miles in this car than 12,000 in my previous LR! The brakes feel fine, BTW. Nice modulation…nothing special, but also not lacking.
I’ll know more tomorrow but the Autopilot seems to work better. Smoother overall. But I need more time to validate that initial assessment.

The software 2021.12.4.5 I believe and it’s as of now it’s only in S/X (and really just S as X hasn’t begun delivery)What version of the software are these newly-delivered cars running? And has anyone with a pre-refresh car received it?
The decision for me is strictly potholes. Love the look of the 21s, but I had several blowouts with my prior 21s with 265-35s. The 295-30s don’t make sense around here.Why I want 19s:
* Potholes in the roads around here aren't always avoidable (or even visible when they fill with rainwater)
* They look pretty cool with the hubcaps off
* They have great efficiency with the hubcaps on (although I'd only do this for road trips)
* Don't have to spend $4500 now and then whatever it is for the ZeroG 20"s, later
Why I don't want the 19s:
* I'd like my car sooner than never, hahaha
Oh yeah, no crazy body roll at all. Again, you won’t forget it’s weight, but it’s very, very composed. Limiting corner exit power does keep the car composed as well. But yes, it’s body control is excellent.Thank you very much @uthatcher for these details!
Would you consider the Plaid to be capable of cornering pretty “flat” in stock configuration, or do you feel any body roll?
I think it’s still v10.2What version of the software are these newly-delivered cars running? And has anyone with a pre-refresh car received it?
With people having some of these erratic dates like September, October, and stuff, makes me question why there are still people with blank dates. How does that system work or make sense? I don’t think a single person with a straight up blank date has gotten a car yet, only the people with the dates all over the place.
Do you have a pic ?The only issue I noticed on delivery was a little bit of waviness in the glass on the passenger side of the windshield. You have to move your head around to see it. I did report it and they put in a service appointment. Is any amount of that considered acceptable/in spec?
From what he told me, the 24 hours doesn't start until you click accept. Of course THEY want you to do it right away for EOQ. That doesn't mean YOU are ready to do so. Jus sayin'.Thanks for this information. The Tesla representative that called me yesterday conveniently omitted the 24 hour aspect. They did tell me I had to accept delivery today since it was EOQ. My sister can look the car over for me before I accept delivery, but I’m not sure anyone would look at it with the same critical eye as I would. Hopefully, I will be able to document any critical issues.
I will try and take one next time I take it out, I took some for the service ticket in the app but I can't seem to load them.Do you have a pic
