I agree it's a bad fit. I had one break in use and the inner red cable cover was shredded. A Tesla tech came out with another set to help me up my steep snow-covered hill and agree the fit was too close. They advise not to use the chains. They checked with the Tesla mothership but there's apparently no new solution.
19's on stock wheels.
Thanks. I just chatted with my local service center (Sunnyvale, CA) and they insist that the chains fit on the 19" wheels, and invited me in to show me how to put them on. They also offered to let me return them if I wanted to.
Don't have an urgent need to use them so I'm going to just hold on to them for now, but may swing by there to take them up on the offer of showing me how to put them on when I have less to do at work...
Just a note, the above referenced chains SZ143 Super-Z chains are NOT the same as the chains that Tesla sells. When I bought mine, Tesla sold Z-563 Z-Chain Extreme's.

I just received my Security Chain Company Z-563 Z-Chain Extreme Performance cable tire chain's from Amazon and performed a test fit. They seem to fit pretty well and are not contacting the lower suspension arm. I can see why Tesla went to the Trak Sport chains though. They are not even close to any suspension component and provide more traction since there is a continuous chain around the whole tire.

Don't you need chains regardless in California?
That's what I'm trying to figure out... There are a few threads floating around here and the general consensus from the "locals" in Tahoe for instance, so long as you have M+S tires and are AWD the Highway Patrol doesn't push the chain requirement.
