Tires Ordered from Tesla in August - Still not shipped to local SC for install

[Sprfst]

Hi fellow Tesla owners. I wanted to share my experience with Tesla to help others. We have a 2021 Model S with the 21in arachnid wheels. We have been trying for the past year to get the 19in tempest rims with snow tires. This August on 8/25/22 we ordered the 19in Tempest Wheels with snow tires and they were specifically listed as "available" and ready to ship. Since that time, they have been "in transit" to our service center. Well, here we are and it is snowing in New York and Tesla had 3 times changed the appointment to give us what we ordered. We paid 2750$ for these in August believing they were in-stock as advertised.

Fortunately, our Model S is a lease so we can ditch Tesla in 2 years. If they were simply an honest company it would be acceptable.

Hi Folks - 6500 miles in and rear tires show bizarre wear on the very most inside portion making them lose 5 psi every day. Not the usual camber issue all the old model S had.

You may want to check out Tsportline. They have some 19” wheel and tire packages that are in the same cost ballpark that will actually arrive in a week.

Sorry such a late reply. yes, I gave-up and took advantage of the T-sportline sale. As more fun today, the 12v battery died on me even though it is only 1 year old. Had to be towed from my work. I have to say, I am not super pleased with Tesla at the moment on a 100 grand car.
