Not really. I like the default 19" wheels; seem slick enough for me and appear to be easy to maintain too (in terms of cleaning up the brake dust and such).
Umm, let's not get too excited folks. If this was gonna be an option it would have shown up by now and it's a little late in the day to think Tesla will produce something overnight.

Except - you don't make wheels, you source them. It seems like Tesla has gone with Mercedes compatible wheels - bolt patterns, offsets. Can anyone confirm that? If so - new wheels could be sourced in a matter of weeks.
Tread depth does not change. The tread life on the 35s is low because they are a soft/sticky compound. 40's would likely be the same. the 19" all-weather are a better choice for long tire life.

Not sure but it makes sense. The 19 inch wheel and tire combo will weight less than the 21 inch combo and will ultimately increase your range. Assuming they are direct fit, the drawback with going with the 19 inch wheels will be the $4K overall price minus tires as opposed to the $3.5K 21 inch Tesla option.
The in-store range simulator shows about a 2% range loss with the 21" at 60MPH - that takes into account both the wheel change and the different tires.
I noticed online that they had 20" wheels. Is there a tire combination that would split the difference between the 21" and the 19 inch and still give the look and sidewall stiffness that the 21" wheels provide, and still give some better poor road protection?

245/40-20 would do a pretty good job. There are numerous tire plus-sizing calculators around that help a lot to ensure your speedo reads close to the same when getting aftermarket wheels and tires. Here's one: Tire size calculator
