I didn't pay it yet, figured I would ask here and call FedEx directly.
On a side note. Seems like not many winter tires in 265 45 20. 275 is no problem. Tesla also sold model X with 255 45 20. Basically it's not as wide a tire. There is a post on the forum where someone put 255 50 20, don't understand why he used 50 instead of 45.
I also noted tire spec is 108v for the fronts. I see a lot of 104v could that be unsafe?
What is everyone using with 20 inch rims?

I just ordered a set of studded Nokian Hakka 9's in 265/45/20 and 275/45/20 for my Slipstreams from Kal Tire. I swapped my stock Conti tires over to the grey TST 20" tires earlier this year.
Will have the Hakka 9's ready for winter travels thru the Sea to Sky highway and the Coquihalla for skiing and snowshoeing. For regular winter setup around town I use my set of gloss black TST 20" wheels and Pirelli Sottozeroes on the X.

R2 stick like glue in snow. The Sottozeroes are a performance winter tire and more for wet traction. The R2's are super soft on the dry and wear more quickly compared to the stiffer compound on Sottozeroes.
I have Continental DWS on right now for the S and will switch to my Sottozeroes on 21" Turbines next and then R2's for snow.
My X has the 22" Turbines with Pirelli Scorpions currently for the summer and I'll pop on 20" TST with stock Conti LX for roadtrips for better range and for winter I have 20" TST with Sottozeroes and finally the Nokian studded H9's on Slipstreams.
I just noticed the Tesla store has Sonic Carbon wheels and tires for $7455...that is a bit overpriced unless they are forged and different than the regular Slipstreams other than color.

I find the Pirelli Sottozeroes to be pretty meh in the snow, especially when the snow is a bit wet. I am getting the R2 for my new Model X.

I have a set of Sottozero IIs. I babied them through a winter and then bought a set of x-ice 3s. The Sottozero IIs are wet weather tires. They are NOT snow tires. The Sottozero IIIs look to have a more aggressive thread that might work on snow.

I agree...that's why the Nokians go on all my vehicles when the ice and snow lands. The Sottozeroes are good for the wet like I mentioned above and we do get lots of rain in the Lower Mainland of BC.

When I woke up this morning and my eyes were deceiving me, I read it as "Xmas in the GTA!' Lol!
