Yup. Just don't go around a corner any faster than Granny Smith, lest you be judged, labeled, and branded "UNSAFE!"
Just amazing to me that you can't go around a corner at a reasonable rate or get dinged, yet you can go over the speed limit and accelerate like a mad man just fiiiiiiiine.
Damn I really should have gotten the 21" wheels...
That's great! My SA told me the service approved the request to swap mine for All Season tires which is good. I was under the impression that they will be giving the summer tires back to me because what else are they gonna do with them? They don't sell used tires. Well, they can definitely find a use for them if they wanted to but I'll try my best to keep these tires too
Can always do like many here have done: get aftermarket 21" forged wheels for less than the price of the 21" Arachnids. Can then use the 19's for winter (assuming you have all seasons on them) or sell those. $4500 for cast alloy Arachnids isnt the best value out there..
Yeah I think that'll be the plan down the road. Not pumped to shell out $5K on ppf alone but this is an appetizing plan for the spring!
many options out there. ex: These in 21" and in the spec (custom order/you pick your offset) that will fit the refresh are under $2500 and stronger than the cast Arachnids.

I’m actually looking to drop to 19” and grab all season tires currently
Hey Bull,
Thank you for the details on how it works. I have seen mention of an online parts catalog but not tried it. I’ll take you up on the Emblem if you’re looking to get rid of it! What did you replace it with?
I replaced it with a carbon fiber finish emblem from Amazon (currently unavailable on their website). I really like it too. PM your address and I will send the chrome OE emblem to you.
@GrnSqrl Good call! My SC offered a similar swap, Pirelli's for A/S Continentals for $300... Was your swap offered "free of charge"? They also offered winter tires, like "Pirelli P-Zero Winter" at a 50% discount. Not sure I want Continentals (as I here those are pretty bad, if the same as the ones on the MYLR). Also not sure I want winter tires going on and off my rims every six months either. I asked about a deal on a winter wheel-set, but have not yet got a ruling on that.... Of course, nothing in stock, so I have time to decide what I want to do as they would have to order the tires/wheels I select.
Wow, gorgeous pictures!
I wouldn't want all those PPF edges catching dirt and wax, etc. My Tesla rear door PPF looks like @$$ around the edges after driving in the the rain. Looks like I outlined the pre-cut PPF with a black Sharpie marker. "No thanks" on the pre-cut stuff! YMMV.Pre-cut PPF from Xpel costs around $2k for the full body for Model S. You're mostly paying for the labor cost. I have never had it installed on my cars. I think I would have considered it had it not been upwards of 7-8K. I'd much rather spend that much on something else, may be FSD
Or, just wait a few more months. I’m pretty sure you will be able to pick an inventory car, maybe even with a discount. On my last two Teslas, discount totaled more than $13K
I purchased a pre-cut hood for my Wifes Y. I requested that it be large enough to wrap around edges. The seller said "sure/no problem". They use a laser cutting machine to make the template. I was able to easily wrap around all edges.
