First of all, I love what you’re doing to your S. I have been upgrading my P85D and plan to post a “completed” thread and you’ll see some of your influence on it.
As others have mentioned, the caliper covers are the only thing I don’t like. You have high quality calipers and you’re hiding them.
I have used caliper paint kits on several Porches in the past and the results are as good as stock. 991’s have a nice jack point at the rear of the vehicle that makes it easy to get the car onto four jack stands. I’m sure you can figure out a way to do it on a Tesla.
If not, I bet you could do both the fronts and then both rears at once. If you have SAS, put it in jack mode and drive onto some 2x4s. Then jack up one side as high as possible and try to slide a jack stand under the opposite side. I have not done this before with a Tesla, but it’s worked on other cars.
Here’s an example of my last 997 with calipers I painted in one afternoon:
