Assume you will need them shipped as well? Thanks for patience as I was off the grid over the weekend.

Cool. Will DM you. Local deal fell through.

Have a local person interested and waiting to hear from him again. If that falls through they’re yours. Not sure who we use to ship though? Any clue? So heavy I wonder if we need them to be crated individually or something.

Should also add that all 4 wheels w tires do fit in the back of the Model S if you drop the back seats and pull the cargo guard thing.

Sent you a text. . .yes we do make it to Wisconsin. . .we have a family place in Mercer, north of Minocqua. . .usually start heading west when we catch 10 in Oshkosh. Could potentially divert to Appleton for a meet if we get a deal done. Looking forward to hearing back from my text. Area code...

About to post again. . .still looking? Shipping may be pricey!

A Year later, they are still in wheel covers, haven’t moved. Wife and I doing fall clean up. Anyone interested? Make an offier. . . Good luck!

Thanks for interest, just texted you. M

Bump

DM sent!

None taken Tripp. I’m not auctioning them, any reasonable offer will be considered and negotiated. Early bird gets the worm. Spent $800 getting them cleaned up, so take it from there.

Formerly Silver 21” staggered Turbines that had some rash and I had repaired and powder coated “Tesla Gray” by Chicago area specialist. Rarely used, ContinentalSportContact tires with tons of tread left. Used my 19” all seasons most of time. Probably 6-8K miles on the tires and wheels. See...

Circling back here, car was returned after some insurance approval delays. About a $7K fix. I also upgraded to MCU 2 while it was in. Much better. .. good to have it back.

Dark Cloud. . . Nice call. Turns out there were wires chewed related to the high voltage coolant system. . . Still waiting for final tally but looks like battery system is intact. Engaged insurance adjuster and is covered under comprehensive. Thank goodness. Never seen any type of critter...

Did yours have any smoke or electrical smell?

Mine’s the original. . . So my guess is I will get a refurb. Hopefully covered by 8 yr 150K because technically I’m out of warranty for 48 hours when the event occurred. I also have 30 days to sign up for extended I think. . . Might get lucky there.

Update, still waiting on diagnosis but service center is hopping on a sunday! Gave me a loaner X. . . Great communication so far at Highland Park.

Nope, live in chicago suburbs and the car’s been garage kept since I bought it.

Need some 20 weight ball bearings. . . It’s all ball bearings these days.

Been a long while (years) since I posted, but Maggie’s in the shop for the first time since I got her 4 years and 3 days ago. . .very bummed. She’s still immaculate after 40K miles. Was driving short drive from home to lunch, about 4 miles away. All back roads, never got over 40 or so MPH due...

I'm about to put staggered 21" turbines in market and was researching market price (the ones in my avatar photo but with new color). If you want a shot at them they were just repaired and powder-coated. Changed from silver to tesla gray with all curbrash repaired. Expect to pick them up in...

Can you direct message me what you sold them for, I am about to put 21" powdercoated gray turbines on the market. . .just trying to establish fair price. . .I have original performance continentals on them with plenty of tread left. . .maybe 4K miles on them. Thanks!

Partially True. The popular legend is that a reporter in NYC koined the phrase when NYC was competing with Chicago for the World’s Fair. But most historians believe that the “Windy” part was koined because of the double entendre given Chicago’s windy weather. That said, NYC, Boston and SanFran...

I hear you. Repairs were done well and for nothing. . .that was the “right” part. I sent an email yesterday about the miles. We’ll see what the story is. I’m hopeful that they had to meet someone from another chicago service center to get the UV thing done or something.

I also had the yellow border for probably the last 10K miles but it didn’t bug me that much. I went in due to a seal problem with the driver’s door window (that bothered me) and mentioned the yellow border. They loaned me a 100d model x and three days later, the wind noise from the window is...

The white “leather” as I understand it is a vegan product and is easily cleaned unless you take a sharpie to it. . .fyi. I’ve sat on it, and it’s pretty nice. If you’d like to see a black with tan interior let me know. . .lol.

Two part Economics 101 question. I am not an Economist, so excuse any improper vernacular. 1). There has been no competition in the market since the inception of the Tesla S- 100% of demand matched with Tesla Supply. The automobile market has to date been unable to effectively respond...

CarPro Inside Leather & Interior Cleaner 500 ml Good stuff. . .it's what my detailer uses. Works great. Good luck!

Look, Tesla is going to continue making better cars than your Tesla. They will go faster, look cooler, have more range, have nicer finishes and ultimately improved hardware. The price has gone down now too. . . It's how this whole thing works. . . You folks who just bought your cars are the...

You should do it if you choose to own vs. lease. I'm 18K miles and 1.5 Chicago Winters into a full xpel on the entire vehicle, plus a coat of cquartz plus on all including the wheels. The car looks brand new. If washed properly (no shortcuts to two bucket hand wash), there will be no swirl...

I'm a Chicagoan and weather is/was 90% of the reason I'm waiting on dual motor, but most S and 3 owners indicate that the weight, low center of gravity and even weight distribution of the battery pack almost make the D unnecessary for that purpose. The dual motor also will be a bit quicker and...

These discussions crack me up. Long way to go on FSD, smart not to buy and might be smart not to be an early adopter when it is available. . .read on. As for EAP. . . . I use it regularly in bumper to bumper traffic if I catch a rush hour window between the Loop and the burbs. I admit I've...

I knew you weren't from these parts when I saw this comment. . . Regen takes a while to warm up in colder climates. It's nonexistent for the first several miles in the dead of winter in Chicago (this week included until yesterday. . .but I digress) unless properly warmed up. . . M

May have been posted already. If so, apologies. So I get the email, and it says I can get the First Production in 3-6 weeks, which is faster than I got my S, so pretty cool. But I planned on waiting for the dual motor. See below. . . looks like dual motor is coming before lower end RWD...

I love this question. . I had chance to upgrade from 90D pre production to 100D but my configuration wasn't available in the 100D. . . I LOVE the cream / tan interior, but I have black headliner, carpet dash etc. Dye transfer happens. . .really only in driver's seat so far even though I have...

Keep the faith. . . Generally speaking, "Musk time" has its own cadence. My experience is that it is worth the wait. I don't need a tshirt or coffee mugs. Keep the gift and pump it back into the production line. . . Congrats on your reservation and I totally understand how anxious you are...

Had to be...would be a massive coincidence....I couldn't attend and there's nothing on the Facebook page. It did say the downtown sc refused to host, and they were directed to the new supercharger in the parking lot in the river north / Streeterville / east loop area...think its near or in...

The simplest reason that Tesla drivers never run out of juice is that we all wake up with a "full tank" every day. Daily driving for most of us only consumes a relatively small fraction of the charge. After commuting to work and back, even with an errand or two thrown in, I still have >200...

Except that I have the subzero package so I can leave theirs on as well!

I'm assuming the OP is not an owner or lessee of a Tesla, so for the benefit of those who are unfamiliar with the data available to the operator of a Tesla, I give you a relatively simple case study in why we will very rarely run out of power on the road. . . a little more prosaic than empirical...

Lol...that's why I have a model 3 reservation....

Performance. Durability. Excellence. - XPEL Link above to xpel website....it's a film based protection that actually self heals...watch the videos. The cquartz is a ceramic coating that is applied as a liquid and then baked under a special lamp to harden and add a layer of protection. I...

I'm up north and go to chicago auto pros...they do full exterior for very reasonable price. In Glenview by the glen. They wrapped and cquartzed my S as well. PM for rate and referral. Long way from Milwaukee and grand though...lol. The garage under my building has a guy come in and he does...

I too have a full xpel, so what is the "no rinse" solution you're using on it? My car is also a salty mess. . . hadn't even realized that the aluminum frame is immune to corrosion from salt. . . another good reason to own the S. Is the undercarriage all aluminum as well? Thanks in advance. . .

wow, the first one with the tax credit gets to sticker on my S. .. incredible discounts. Wish my wife's lease would expire so I'd have an excuse. . .

The autopilot cameras have to calibrate if memory serves- or at least they had to on my archaic 90D. . . lol. Hang in there and I think this will engage within 100 miles or so. . . enjoy!

I'm seeing / hearing Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman. . . "oooohhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

It's also easier to use the hand gauge than glance at the dashboard from the wheel well. Some of the "onboard" pressure gauges on the pumps don't give me confidence in their accuracy. Some don't have a gauge at all...

That is a great point...

good call. I have a small compressor. .. and have 5 licensed drivers who are dependents 21 and under. . . I leave the compressor in one of the Honda CRVs they share, since they have spares and would need to inflate a spare when they mount it. . . ... and, believe it or not, the air is free at...
