Would that be for a vinyl wrap or for PPF? I would happily drive to Chicago to save $5k on the full PPF.

Replika R241 19" rims with Michelin X-ICE rubber. Under $ 2000 (Canadian pesos) for rims and tires and just need to add the Tesla BT TPMS sensors.

There are several different tricks when "tuning" ICE engine mapping. Most involve timing and fuel but one cheater method is to increase torque demand on pedal tip in. It makes the car feel more peppy.
I'd love to get my hands on the torque demand map for the Plaid and put 30% of the car's torque in the first 50% of the pedal travel then put the rest in the remaining half of the pedal travel. It would make it easy to drive on a daily basis without affecting power availability.
Just dreaming.

True. btw -- I only use Michelin tires...they're the best in the world, imho. Also, don't know where you live, but my wife and I traveled to Nice, France and it was one of our very favorite cities in the world. Just beautiful!You have the car before us

I just went through this and thought I'd share.
I live in Chicago and so need to drive through the snow.
Previously, for my Audi S6 and 2 MB E63s, all AWD, I went w/ all season ties (Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 and Continental ExtremeContact DWS06). Storage and 2 visits per year to the tire shop just was a no-go for me. I've got another car I take to the track and so leave the aggressive driving there and don't need the absolute highest performance on the street.
For the (black) MSP I just ordered (EDD 9/2 - 9/22), I didn't like the OEM wheels and so after shopping HRE, Forgeline & Vossen (all monoblock forged), I went w/ Signature Wheel SV104 (as they were about 1/2 the price and I love the look). As others posted, I wasn't able to find an all season tires with the OEM 21'' (perhaps there are some, but I looked at the major players). So, after some research and support from Jamie over at Signature Wheel, I decided to go with 20'' wheels which opens up a bunch more tire options. In the end, after messing w/ tire heights and costs, here's the setup I went with:
- Front: 20 x 9 fit w/ Michelin PSAS4 (255/40/20)
- Rear: 20 x 10.5 fit w/ Michelin PSAS4 (285/35/2)
Will post pics once installed.
Lemme know if you have any questions.
Thank you, I am in Toulon, one hour drive from Nice.True. btw -- I only use Michelin tires...they're the best in the world, imho. Also, don't know where you live, but my wife and I traveled to Nice, France and it was one of our very favorite cities in the world. Just beautiful!
In return you have beautiful volcanoes I still have monstrous memories of Mount Saint Helens in 1980
And several missions on the volcanoes of Hawaii Big Island
curious. What do you do for a living? (your comments + your avatar have me curious)
wait. $2.5k for a FULL PPF wrap on a Model S? Materials and labor?
We need proof. lol.
New member here, so first post. Ordered my Plaid on 8-8-2021, and it is currently showing EDD of 8-28 through 9-10. I refresh daily, and there were a couple instances where my delivery would change from Aug-Sept date ranges of about 30 days wide to “March”. Each time that as happened I called customer service which was equal to howling at the moon, haha, so I stopped bothering them (I was always polite). I’m hoping the time-frame end-date continues to hold and tightens up as my trade valuation is only good until 9-11. I can tell from reading here, I am hoping for way too much lol.
To try to help my delivery date I ordered white Plaid with black/wood interior, and will not touch it or try to modify even though I wish I would have opted for the 21” rims. Hoping for the best here!

My guess is they are confusing vinyl wrap with PPF or don't know there's a difference....

Oh but wait, there are some folks here who claim the Signature wheels are ugly, lol...their opinion I guess but...
Great choice, same as mine I ordered from Jamie but went with the SV104 brushed black triple tinted 21" oem sizes to actually fit the oem Michelin tires. I think we'll be quite happy with our choices for our MS Plaids. I love some of the Vossen wheels but yeah, much more costly. Anyhow, excited for you! Your MS Plaid with the new wheels is going to look super HOT!
