Hmm, doesn't sound very promising. Wonder if there is any improvement in the asymmetrical version.

They seem better ..at least in Ride Quality, Noise and Treadwear categories. Let's hope this is what the X will ship with.

Looks like we need a closer up picture than the one I took. I'll look at the pics I took at the unveiling. I'm not sure I thought about the tires that night :/

Also, I'm starting to think we need a new thread. This is applicable to everyone, not just F cars. Do we have a mod here who could split these posts to a new thread ... Subject something along the lines of "Performance of MX OEM tires"?

I looked at the unveiling pics. It looks like all of the X's there had 22's. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've seen an X with 20's yet.

The one used to demonstrate towing the Airstream had 20's due to the reduced towing capacity of the 22's.

As did at least one delivered. I'm thinking of the Titanium one that went to Mark Tebbe, #6 I think.

I wasn't able to grab any pics of those cars (at least none close up). Maybe someone closer to the stage has a pic?

Hard to tell since everyone and their brother was holding up their phones in front of me (and blocking the wheels), but yeah, it looks like it could be 20s:

Those are definitely 20's

Not great pics, but yes, I think these are 20s:

The mules had continental crosssport contacts on the 20's...

Anyone care to hazard a guess why the dark wheels aren't an option for the founders cars. I ** really ** want dark on mine. Wonder if Tesla will let me swap them at delivery time, with zero miles on them?

From Mark T's Founder's VIN3, the tread pattern appears to be Asimmetrico!

Originally "possibly late December, otherwise January." That changed to "January". East coast.

Well that's good news. My SigX still says 'confirmed', but I'm taking delivery this weekend.

Funny, I had the same thing show up yesterday - the page looked different. Then when I went back into mytesla, the page I'm familiar with reappeared and it still says "Your Model X order has been confirmed", and that's what it's saying now.

 

[ModelX]

Same happened to me (I'm production).

 

[g-force]
