All the wheel options are 8.5" wide, right? And it looks like at least some of them come with 235s? I run 275s for competition. All the widths in between are represented by the two fast 200TW tires. Expect some new tire options next spring, but still.

Is there some kind of 10.5" wide wheel option? Or about to be?

Don't think so?

The rear seems to have been designed to take some wide ass rubber, but they most have bailed in the idea. It ships with 8.5's all around.

Perhaps it'll come in an OTA update?

I'm not wired into that Tesla magic stuff like some.

I would find it very unlikely the performance pack car ends up in DS.

It's in great shape and I'm getting the $2,000 New York State rebate. Looks like I'm taking it.

I like the color

Cool, congrats. Do you have the charging set up all ready to go at your house?
