The other thing is that the Model 3 is a lot lighter than the Model S, so even if the sidewall height is the same, the force being transmitted (or absorbed) should be substantially less.

I do think the Tesla 19's look fantastic on the car. Better than the 20's even.
The situation with the Perf Upgrade Package not fitting any wheels but the stock 20's is pretty ridiculous. It seems the upgraded brake rotors are ~3mm narrower than the originals, so they leave a small lip sticking out. The 20" wheels are widened slightly to avoid hitting it. But just about any other wheel can't be used without a spacer. People are waiting to find out whether the OEM 19's also have the necessary cutout. If not they also won't fit properly.

ZBB, have you read all the threads about people rejecting delivery? Due to paint issues, panel gaps, etc? I assume you plan to look yours over well before you sign on the line...

We need a thread just for EV charging, wiring and electrical work.
Now that I understand the model 3 charging cable is limited to 32 amps, what is the point in having an outlet that can handle more than that? It seems you are near max with a 30 amp breaker, or just jump to the wall charger and be limited by the car's 48 amps. |

- a 60A breaker to get 48A charging with a wall charger - a 50A breaker to get 40A charging with a wall charger or Gen1 UNC - A 50A breaker to get 32A charging on a Gen2 UMC using a 14-50 adapter - A 30A breaker to get 24A charging with a 14-30 adapter - A 20A breaker to get 16A charging with a 5-20 adapter - A 15A breaker to get 12A charging with a 5-15 adapter There’s a great charging FAQ over at TMC. I’ll try to find the link... Edit - here’s the link. It was last updated a couple years ago, so won’t mention the gen2 Umc... https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/thre...ure-q-a.12615/

I have two electricians scheduled for next week. I'll let you know what they say.
I think I'm sticking with the non pup, and also switching my color from blue to gray. I had never seen the blue in person, and I stopped by the dealer today and didn't really like it. The grey look way better. My only concern is if there's any chance that pushes me in the 2019 and cost me $3,500. I'm pretty sure that won't happen, but man that would suck. |

The gray is a little weird (flat?) too. But something about the silver trim with the blue paint and the gray wheels just doesn't work
What did your sales person say regarding delivery timeframe? |

I REALLY love the Tesla red - I'd even get it on a Model X.
