    Where’s the rumor train?

    So part of the fun on these forums is discussing what is next. What’s in store for the X this year? The only thing I think is almost a lock is a new battery or battery tech for the S/X line? Anybody else have anything?

    Some 21" wheel questions

    I'm thinking about getting a set of grey OEM 21" wheels to compliment the new Tesla I have arriving soon and use them maybe 1/2 the year and switch back to the 19" the other half.

    What gauge wire for HPWC install?

    What size wire has everyone been using for their HPWC install? The manual says #2 copper but that seems overkill. In the top entry extended back they shipped with the charger it only had #4 copper. I was thinking of getting #3 copper just to be safe.
