All the grey arachnids look great! Does Tesla give the greys out for referral rewards? Or, are these silvers that were powder-coated grey?
Am close to my third referral... looking forward to the grey arachnids!

The original program had grey/black/silver available ... I believe the new program is silver only

I'll post some pictures later, but the most shocking thing about these rims is how light they feel. I had to change my steering setting to compensate... It's crazy! I bet these are way way more efficient... probably very close to the slipstream wheels in terms of efficiency. They may be a just a tiny bit louder than the regular turbines though, which kind of surprised me, I could be wrong about the sound, but I'm not wrong about the steering, a big difference.
I would love to see Tesla to get motortrend to do a standardized test on the rim efficiency of arachnids versus turbine versus slipstream versus aeros.

How did you get the avatar updated? I thought it was possible.... and this proves it! That is awesome!

I asked the service center if they could change it, they said they could but it would only reflect in the app, that in the car the image would be the 21 in turbines. While I was there someone reached out to Tesla who said the avatars in the cars would get the image update in a future software release. So if you have your service center switch it on their end you might only see it in the app until Tesla updates the car.

Yea, same here. I was told it would be changed in a future software update as long as the wheels were set to the arachnids.
Did anyone else notice the super sports are not the acoustic version that normally come with the car? I was wondering why the arachnids were so much louder until I checked this and sure enough, different tires ! I can’t believe how much a difference it makes!
My touchscreen, dash binnacle and Tesla app each shows proper arachnids, but they are silver on screen vs gray in reality. When I first got them put on in May they said they didn't have the gray art for the screens yet, so I was stuck with silver at the time. Swapping to my 19" snow tires in 2 weeks, so I guess I'll have to wait until next summer to see it corrected.

UPDATE: my car got an OTA update and it now shows the arachnids on all images of the car both in the app, and in the car displays.

Incorrect information ... I received the Acoustic Michelin Super Sport Tires mounted with new TPMS on the Arachnid wheels
Uh oh, did I get the sloppy leftovers? I can't hear myself think! I'm going to have to go out to the garage now and triple check... please don't let me be wrong god.... can't be possible. But, you probably have the referral program wheels from last cycle? Not the silver ones from the current? It seems more likely that I'm wrong about this but I'll double check.Incorrect information ... I received the Acoustic Michelin Super Sport Tires mounted with new TPMS on the Arachnid wheels

Yes, I have the Grey Arachnids from the first referral program ... perhaps that accounts for the different tire specs.
Yay!!!! I’m super wrong! Acoustic , maybe they changed the labeling, it’s a tiny symbol now... either that or I have arachnid brain from too many launches
