I didn't like Aero wheels at first, but they've grown on me.

Curious -- did you guys receive an email on the notification to design or just happen to stumble across it on your page?

So there's another $2,500 non-refundable deposit even before we find out if we quality for Tesla's "in-house" financing?

Financial institution car loan rates in Canada are too high (like 6% or higher) for it to make sense while with Tesla's in-house (partnership), financing rates can be as low as 2.5-3.0% over eight years.

Cash or Loan only at this time ... Tesla does accept vehicle trades

Tesla does accept old cars. They don' t call it a trade. I know this for sure.

The person who originally posted those screenshots on his Twitter account in an employee. My guess is he was invited to configure through an email, like I assume we will receive one day.

My guess is that he violated his NDA and is no longer an employee. I hope it was worth it.

Sneaky of them to make those hideous aero wheels the only available base option... I'm guessing that guarantees a 90+% take rate on the $1500 upgrade to the 19s.

i think they look good and i would have payed extra for them. if not just for the range.

Not too bad on Midnight Silver ...

 

[powertoold]

The aero wheels look decent while they're clean, but I'd imagine dirt will easily collect on the flat portions and then it'd be real ugly, especially during the rain / snow season.

 

[geometro]

I actually like those wheels alot on white, midnight and maybe black.

I wonder what the range hit us with the 19s.

^ same here. Initially, I didn't like them but they've really grown on me and like them with most colors.

Didn't seem like there was anything in this info that wasn't known last night. Nice to see that it's live.

 

[Pieter Knispel]

Sorry for the ignorance here everyone, but can someone show me what the standard 18" wheels look like with the rims? What rims are standard with the 18" wheels? Thank you!

Any info yet on the Dual Motor AWD w/220 cost yet? Or do we have to wait until the initial build for those cars?

We probably won't know until we are much closer to the option is available middle of next year. If Tesla is trying to be price competitive with other makes the AWD option will run about $3,000. If they price like Tesla will be $5,000.

There is also a good chance dual motor will only be offered with the bigger battery.

For me, waiting for dual motor comes down to the likelihood of getting the full federal rebate.

My current estimated delivery for initial production is late 2017 to early 2018 whereas dual motor pushes that out to October of next year.

How much do good quality 19" wheels and tires cost?

Are we getting low rolling ( poor performance) resistance tires for the base 18"?

 

[SolarRyan]

There are two blacks? Oh please, one gloss and the other not, with the non-gloss not costing an extra $1k.... (somehow I doubt this)

ED: On second thought, I'm betting that second "black" is actually supposed to be midnight silver. The two "greys" at the end must be pearl-white and metallic silver.

It is only 1 black option. The black is "standard". Any other color is $1k.

I know that. I'm talking about what can be seen in the configurator window.
