The photos earlier were shot with the suspension in the LOW mode.
Here are the options:
Here is a photo of the front with a tape measure at VERY HIGH:

And a further back view of VERY HIGH:
It's an odd mechanism in that it plugs up into a receiver, meaning that the trailer tongue weight is constantly pulling down on whatever locking mechanism it has.
Is there a 7 pin trailer plug by the hitch? And a brake controller wiring harness in the cab?

There is excellent video of this on Mark Templeman's iCloud page which he shared. Do a search for VIN #3 owner's impressions (or something like that). I think it was on "the other forum" but can't remember for sure. Shouldn't be too hard to find. Good luck!

Ouch. I hope this will be fixed quick. I suspect I know what happened, but I will honor Max's intent here.
I've been trying to get a final word on tire sizes for the 20" wheels. Could you please post the sizes for the front and rear? (I think they're different) I know we've had a lot of info from various sources but I'd really like to get an answer from someone with the car or from Tesla and my delivery specialist cannot seem to find the answer.

Interesting - not a square setup! Those are big and expensive tires...
Did they deliver the car with M+S tires by default or was that your choice? Florida isn't exactly known for its snow storms.

As far as I know, those are the standard tires and there were no options to select other tires. Maybe by special request, but I don't know.

Odd that this doesn't match what was on Elon's X at the launch. Those were Yokohama Parada tires. Doubt that he would put different tires on his at the launch event. Perhaps one of the lucky X-Mas owners could confirm the brand and model? I know it's been posted in some other threads though.

Still Trying to Figure This All Out
Elon's car had 21 inch wheels on it for the event. Later pictures showed 22's I think.

Strange that 20" has staggered tires but with only 10mm difference. I wonder if that small difference would change driving dynamics much. I'm sure engineers must have a good reason since that will prevent front/rear rotation. Not really an insignificant price to pay.
With directional tires, I don't think rotating front to rear only (as opposed to side to side), is that helpful anyway. On my P85+, I went through the rears every 7,000 miles. I changed them every year, and fronts were still good when I sold the car 2 year later. If I was rotating them front to back, I would have ended up buying the same number of tires over the 2 years.
