What part of the VIN is model year?

Digit 10 - N = 2022 M = 2021

That is a very good point. I did that research before buying mine. That vibration/scuffing was there in the early versions of the M3 aero covers. Then they introduced the tape (which I think was done by someone and eventually Rimetrix themselves started supplying that) and the MY cover are snug.

You will have to keep on top of it, the foam/tape deteriorates and will crumble over time, this then will start to trap water under the wheel cover, plus the clips and centre piece that hold it to the wheel will rub against the alloy scuffing it overtime (and every time you remove it off and on to clean the alloy wheel behind it as all the brake dust will have baked on to it you will have scuff lines where the clip meets the wheel). I'd inspect it every few washes and keep spare foam/tape inserts to hand to replace as when needed.

Any body found a bike rack that fits to the tow bar connection but doesn’t need this?

Trust me in person the 19's next to set of 20's look smaller, in this profile pic its harder to see due to the angle. Take the wheel covers off and expose the alloy underneath even more so. If you were to spray or powder coat the alloy black it masks it to some degree. Have a comparison on delivery day, its noticeable.

As above I was at Duxford on Wednesday so saw 40 Ys side by side.... I didn't really notice it. I suppose if it is noticeable it will only be when you're parked next to one (or in your mind!).

Borrowed from twitter.... is it really noticeable?

It is noticeable indeed.

Definitely noticeable. The 19's look a bit too small due to the size of the car. It is all personal preference though.

Anyone else show this in the Tesla app despite having a delivery date showing underneath? I also still can’t find a VIN and my account says a contract is still being drafted.

“We will reach out to you to schedule your delivery date. Delivery time frame will be based on order date, delivery location and vehicle configuration”

I'm supposing you got this statement after you ordered. Perhaps the underneath date should have the caveat : or whenever!

 

[Wattsisname]

looked again - May for 20" wheels and June for the 19" - best reason ever to go for the 20" if thinking about it

Your right; May for 20" wheels. Go, as they say, figure!

 

[Fribble]

Me too
Estimated Delivery: March 15 - March 29 assigned to my order today.
Woohoo!

Got a VIN today too

 

[NSS89]

Are you all going to purchase the alloy wheel locking kit from Tesla? Still can't believe they don't come as standard lol

 

[Campi]

Nope, I've got the 19" so no need.

 

[Wizzwilson]

Definitely noticeable. The 19's look a bit too small due to the size of the car. It is all personal preference though

Yes very much a personal preference. At the end of the day the tyre diameter is exactly the same for both wheels i.e. 28 inches, so when it appears to look smaller you are only talking about the rims. Therefore, if in both circumstances you were to have a black rim, you probably wouldn't notice.

Got a VIN today too

Me too, London based pickup, also forecast moved forward from 15th to 11th Mar

 

[Georgeinrhu]

What part of the VIN is model year?

11th letter should be an N

 

[novemberRomeo]

Has anyone from South Wales had a delivery date yet? I'm still waiting for even an initial date range text, and holding out on the lease company's assurance that I'll get it in March...

 

[dangrenade]

Relax and stay with it. The £2100 you're saving will pay for those Rimetrix several times over. Hell - you could probably even get a fabulous set of aftermarket alloys for significantly less.

Yeah, but the inductions look amazing and ride fine. #justsaying

 

[Mr Grey]

Now I have a VIN after receiving the 15-29 March date range yesterday. This is good.

Yep, same here. London area collection. Now all we need is an actual collection date and venue!

have you searched the source code of your Tesla order page for 'LRW'?

Thought I should be searching it for 5YJ ?

 

[simonzebu]

Thought I should be searching it for 5YJ ?

I've been searching on 7SA, 5YJ and LRW. Seems the current bunch have LRW
