Wow, I think after seeing those photos I might have to get a front lip. I'd been holding off because I wasn't sure it would look right at stock suspension height, but it looks so good on your car.
You've been pleased with the product?
Super happy with it! Its the @UnpluggedP Front Lip in Solid Black. I also have their sway bars! Such a difference!
Oh wow and they let you add the referral wheels without purchasing them? Pretty nice, now if only that worked for making them show up on the outside of the car too

Yep, you can pick any of the wheels you don't actually have. The car computer will reboot after each change. And the picture in the phone app will show your wheel choice too !
My range estimate showed the same no matter which wheel I picked.
None of these match my actual wheels...

+1 for Team UP front splitter + Zero G Referral wheels. Having the car be aware of what shoes are on the car is an added bonus. It's like Photo Hunt!

Oh baby, do those forged wheels look top! I can't wait to go pick mine up!

So either version will fit on either vehicle with OEM 235/35 “TO” PS4Ses. The difference is that the ET34 are intended to maintain the correct scrub radius for vehicles with what was originally called the Performance Upgrade Package, while the ET40 maintains the correct scrub radius for non-PUP vehicles. Scrub radius is only critical on the front axle so you could use either offset in the rear with no negative effects other that the inability to perform tire rotation maintenance (which is required for Michelin treadwear warranty).
I see people putting stupid-huge spacers and crazy positive-offset wheel packages on 3s constantly in order to get the look they want, throwing scrub radius (and handling characteristics) out the window, so you decide what you want. If you do though, know that deviating from the factory offset *will* affect driving characteristics some degree.
There is speculation that the ET34 on PUP allows slightly more scrub radius in order to optimize cornering performance over efficiency. The OEM PUP wheels are ET35 which likely results in identical scrub radius as the ET40 wheels on non-PUP 3s.
For those curious if 265/35 PS4S will fit, I’m doubtful as it would be extremely close to the front steering knuckle based on how close my 255s are. However, if you happen to have a non-PUP car, but ET34 ZeroGs (eg, you bought them from Tesla or a 3rd party), I think the extra 6mm of inside clearance would be enough to do the trick, allowing 265/35 PS4S to fit without a problem. Again, it might fit on the standard offsets, but might not. We wont know until someone tries, but at $340 non-refundable once mounted, it could be an expensive experiment. If you have a PUP vehicle but ET40 ZeroGs, I’d say chances of 265/35 PS4S fitting w/o hitting the front steering knuckle would be slim-to-none, plus your scrub radius will move from positive to negative, resulting in the need to tweak toe-in from normal for best performance/efficiency and cornering performance characteristics changed quote a bit.
Do you mind letting me know where this setting is? I have an SR+, not sure if its possible on that model or not.

What do you mean service isn’t helpful? What have you done? All I had to do was schedule the service. That triggered service to order the parts to complete. Took a week or so.
Yes I scheduled the service, then they said they ordered the parts. This was back in June. Ever since then they just tell me the wheels are still on order and to keep waiting. I receive an email from Tesla every week with an update on the order, which just says the parts shipped back in July but have not arrived at the service centre yet. I tried contacting Tesla (local service centre) several times but they say they don't have any further information. Doesn't seem reasonable for shipping to take 6 months...
Mine took 4 months, so hard to say what's reasonable anymore. I will say that I never got any straight answers to parts availability and they never proactively reached out to me to say that the parts had arrived like they said they would. I just kept creating service appointments to have the wheels installed until they were available. That seemed to be the only communication that they responded to.
I think changing the wheels also changes the cars reporting of range as well (changes the constant) to try to more closely reflect what your car will do with the different size tires.
Ya it said that. Funny, it's actually showing more range on a 100% now wtf
230 now compared to 226 before. Didn't drive either lol
Even if it goes down it's all good. I know what my car can do
