P- now long gone ?

[Flatchat]

Just a quick question...

Is the elusive P- now a distant memory and no longer available or are they still showing up in the existing inventory every now and then?

I haven't been checking the inventory but am now on the lookout and wondered if I'd missed the boat with this spec?

Yep long gone!

They keep popping up now and then. Folks said they were gone 6 months ago yet people keep buying them.

Tesla seem to just adjust what's available to order to control demand to fit their needs. At one stage, LR AWD disappeared but now very much alive. That said, P- has been gone a while now.

I loved the look of the big red brakes. But I don’t use them, and I’d love to fit some 18” aeros - grass is always greener hey!?

19” OEM rims fit and Pirelli P7+ tires got just as good w/mi as Aero did (with covers). They were quieter, had Rim saver, and tread life of 70,000 miles. Quieter. And no foam headache for patching, plugging or emergency goop. All win win. They do not have as good a wet grip though as OEM 20” (neither do Primacy). No tire is perfect. Another promising 19” tire tire is the BridgeStone Quietrack. 19” has the best tire options on Model 3.

They had loads of Performance inventory about two weeks ago

The ability to order a P- is now long gone so they will not be sending anymore P- as they won't be able to match to any orders. The only change you would have is if there is the odd one unallocated that may show up on the Tesla site.

I still don't get why any were built, esp like mine with tow. Not complaining, just curious!

Well, you know... if you were on 19's I'd generously offer to swap those pesky rims and inconvenient callipers for my 18's and standards, but I don't like going below 40 profile for comfort. So I'll just have to say no to your generous offer. ;-)

I think yours if probably a Frankenstein one, where it didn’t start out as it ended. They probably made extra P- and then added on all accessories to cover all possibilities of potential orders but just a small amount of cars
