Lot simpler to install as well. Only drawback is I'm not sure if you can order replacements if you lose/damage one swapping them back and forth every year.

Tesla Winter Tire Package - Lead-time?

Interesting... I ordered my tires on Oct 21st, and got an email a few days ago from the Tire Guys saying that they expect my tires to arrive in the first or second week of December. I live outside their service area, so I'm wondering if that's why I'm more delayed?

So PSA: keep an eye on these forums (or ask your friends who also ordered winter tires) to compare dates when you ordered and when your tires are being offered to be installed. Tire Guys messed up my order date by 1 month, so I was being told first few weeks of December, because they thought my order was November 19th instead of October 19th... heading to Butonville airport tomorrow to have them installed now that the order date has been clarified!

Just cancelled my Tesla Winter Tire package (it has been over a month with no word on delivery). Here's the positive part: the cancellation email was responded to within hours stating a refund is being processed. That is fastest response I've had from the Tesla Shop's customer service team!
Ordered Winter tire package Nov 8, received email Dec 4 from Tesla Lawrence that my order is being shipped and is expected before the end of the month. The Tire Storage Guys will contact me and "arrange a mobile visit (within GTA)". Doesn't present an issue for me since I live within GTA but I know others have had issues with arranging install so Tesla should be upfront with that on their site before order is placed.
Sorry, I did not agree your comments. In Online web site there is no mention of on site installation at all. All it says is to install at Tesla service center and asking to choose one. So when ordering ,ppl shall expect to be installed at service center. If out side GTA, they shall expect that they need travel to GTA area.
Not sure what you do not agree about in my comment (unless you believe the Tesla site is accurate then yeah we would have a difference of opinion) but overall I believe we are saying more or less the same thing. Tesla site requires clarity on what is actually taking place. I believe they actually state that they are being installed at the service center when you finalize your order. So very misleading and leads to confusion about what is actually taking place since the install won't be at a SC.

Random tire swap question: any time I've changed my tires at Costco, they give you instructions to come back after driving 40km or so to have the tires re-tightened. No such warning from Tire Change guys, and person who installed it had not heard of any such instructions... is this necessary or does Costco do it as a CYA approach? Should I be concerned?

I’m about as close as you can get to Buttonville Airport. Came to my house a few Saturdays ago and not sure they were doing sundays at that time. Might be better since the at home window is about 4 hours. Don’t think I can fit 4 tires in the trunk/frunk but didn’t have to try.

Retorquing the wheels shortly after installing is a common practice I hear recommended. I suppose they can sometimes need re-adjustment after they are initially installed and the only way to know for sure is to have the torque rechecked.

I am going to pay them for the storage at whatever cost. So no need bring the wheels back.
