I have the 19"s and I am good with them. Like folks said earlier: with the price difference, you are better off ordering with 19"s and then upgrading to 21"s if you feel the need. The extra efficiency and cheaper tire replacements are worth it with the 19's and if you really want, get the 20"s...

Ahh ok. I totally get the appearance thing. The 21's do look sweet. As for even wear: I have found my tires are wearing evenly and I do check the tread every few months. For reference I drive 90% on the highway though, and more city driving may result in uneven wear.

I like my Yoke! To each their own, gimmick or not, it is fun, and adds to the driving experience. Seems like a fair comparison, and I 100% agree. If they were in the same price category? If the Lucid had access (soon it may!) to the Tesla charging network... I would have to think about the...

The 19"s are not compatible. So if you upgrade to the Track-Pack your 19" rims/tires will no longer fit (according to the Tesla site): https://shop.tesla.com/product/model-s-plaid-track-package

Just curious, what is the purpose of this? Is it an appearance thing? Handling? Why would we want the wider wheels on the front of the car?

Totally agree. I believe (someone correct me if I am wrong) but the slightly smaller 19" tires gives you a nearly unnoticeable edge 0-60 compared to 21"s. The 21's give you a higher end speed as fewer rotations per distance traveled are needed. I have the 19"s and have had no issues. I put...

Welcome to the Tesla club :) I was a long time ICE enthusiast as well! I have had a 69 convertible, 79 Bandit, 87 GTA and 93 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 (the 69 was a tribute, I named him "9 of 8"). Pontiac was my brand of choice back in the day. I can definitely appreciate your love for some good...

lol not dragging you in! you corrected me before, and @DanCar we called it Twitter, you jumped in with the obligatory correction. I am sure my post will be taken as some kind-a personal attack.. rude or something... That is not my intent. I am just trying to spread some logic.

so you like censorship, interesting. here is some ideas for you to mull over if you are inclined to do so: I like what @DanCar said, he just mutes who who he doesn't want to listen to. Bravo Dan, you won the internet, seriously. Rather than insisting that your version of hate speech is not...

We went with a Highland, if all goes well we take delivery this Friday! We traded in a 2021 MYLR (well, sold it to a dealer) after the test drive of the Highland. The ride is great, the improvements are HUGE and compared to a 2021, the Highland build quality looks a lot better. If I had a...

Good morning Highland Waiting room! Had some updates, and I want to share and get opinions. For background: we ordered February 4th I think, had an EDD of March-April, was pushed to April-May, then jumped back to 19 March - 10 April about 2 weeks ago. Two days ago we got an update that our...

Great review, I really appreciate the descriptive analysis. The Taycan looks sweet... the first non-Tesla EV I have really liked the look of! Good to know I wouldn't be let down.

Not quite sure your point here. In order to be a "skilled driver/operator", do you think we need to tune the ports? Do you want to do things like swap jets and balance your carb? Do you think it must be done with a stick shift? Prefer hand cranked starters? What about balancing the fuel...

Love my MSP, and I love seeing videos like this! Even with the MSP loses, they are still epic.

as some of our EDDs close in... those that are financing, who are you going through? What kind of rates are you seeing? Looks like best rates are 4.5%-ish to 6.5%. Does that sound right?

a brick on the Highway, you are not wrong, that made me giggle.

Update today! March 19 -31st. That is a Signiant bump forward, we had an EDD that was mid April to May 10th. M3 Highland LR, black interior, black exterior, standard wheels. We shall see if the Tesla Gods continue to toy with our emotions... moving the delivery back and forth.

Thanks yeah... Just read this, kind-a frustrating. makes purchasing a LR or a SR a bit harder of a decision.

O yeah, my guess is they are good, but still gona be delayed.

Saw this from our living room… sad day. My condolences to anyone expecting a cyber truck in Colorado Springs over the next few days: https://krdo.com/news/local-news/top-stories/2024/03/04/crash-closes-i-25-in-both-directions-south-of-fountain/

is it safe to say that we are seeing an unusual push of delivery dates? Do we have a public spreadsheet someone can link?

Never detail before a trade in. Makes identifying flaws easier on the dealer. Have a nice coat of dust/dirt on the paint, have the interior clean, but not cleaned as to hide any minor stains. my 2-cents. Personally, if I was selling to a private party, different rules, but the dealers can...

Ugh, just had our order pushed back. My wife is sad :( For the database: Order date: 4 Feb 2024 EDD: March / April. 14 Feb: UPDATED 28 - 31 March. 19 Feb: UPDATED 15 April - 10 May Model 3 Highland: Long Range Color: Black Interior: Black Wheels: 18" Photon Autopilot: AP

Also wanted to add: we ordered on the 4th, so just a week and a half ago. Farley early to get a widow I think. For the database: Order date: 4 Feb 2024 EDD: March / April -UPDATED 28 - 31 March Model 3 Highland: Long Range Color: Black Interior: Black Wheels: 18" Photon Autopilot: AP

Not a huge deal, but just got an update to the wife's order, 28 - 31 March. Seem like a small window, fairly far out. I am taking this as a: they are going to try and squeeze us in before April. Sound about right?

Yes, the LR does have LFP, which is why they get no incentive. Also for now, the LFP is made in China so yeah, that is why there is no incentive. personally, With all the testing and results of LFP batteries so far, I an fine spending the extra $$ on it. When they are made state-side that...

When I ordered my Plaid the delivery was all over the place. It kind-a 0's in as you get close. it can yo-yo a lot too.

you are 100% correct. He is for people that don't understand finances or have the self control.

would you please link me to that post? either PM or here would be great. Thank you Shock!

Great review @Proflig8tor. I also had a 2019 M3 SR, it had an odd battery pack if I recall, and yeah, the range was rough. By the time I sold it, daily I would see ~180 miles, and that was a stretch. If I charged to 100% I wouldn't get over 200 typically. I do live at elevation though, and...

Very cool, and I agree with @Muzzman1 ! Those LEDs look good, can you tell us about them?

lol! yeah, hey... he has it, if you want it... and you got $$ to burn

I love rants like this :) I am surprised you didn't bring up the yoke wheel more! Struggling through roundabouts is cute, reminds me of those TV infomercial commercials with the guy tripping all over himself trying to crack an egg. Thanks for the giggle. 1. in the shop all the time: I have...

Stateside, and we have a Highland on order, delivery March/April. If that works for you I would be interested in the console organizer and rear trunk side storage box for sure. The floor mats... too rubbery looking for my style I think. Thanks!

Tesla is really good about price changes after order. You are locked in. I experienced this with my Model S Plaid, the price dropped and they adjusted my order before I realized. I also saw a price increase with our previous Model Y, and we were locked in at the lower price. We ordered out...

Epic! congrats, I am in a similar boat, my wife just ordered up her M3 Highland yesterday. GL with your delivery! May the "within-spec" luck be ever in your favor ;)

Yeah! did you pull the trigger? If not, here is my 2-cents: I would go with the Highland, for a couple reasons: #1 Battery pack. The new battery lasts longer and you can charge to 100% daily without causing damage. You actually SHOULD charge it to 100% at least once a week. That is a huge...

I don't have the option to roll on my MSP right now, and we didn't have it on our MYLR that we just sold. I would assume that it won't be available on the M3 Highland either. That said, you don't want it. adapting to one pedal driving is easier than it sounds. Before you know it, the idea of...

Hello waiting room! The wife test drove the Highland, her MYLR heat pump just went to poop... just out of warranty, so we figured why not: got a decent deal from a local dealer ($28.5k) I think, so we sold the MYLR and put in an order for a M3LR Highland... and we got it in 2 hours before the...

Only the oldest and most sensitive IR cameras need some form of cooling. A modern camera that operates in the NIR range of the IR region of the EM spectrum (in most cases) does not require cooling. The details are not as precise, but more than sufficient for monitoring eye/head movement in...

The comments along the lines of " I have an auto defeat device! I drive manually! haha!!" ... wow lol. Dad Joke level-up. For those wondering about sun glasses and how an IR camera works for surface temps and such. Without going into too much technical detail, the IR camera may see through...

Interesting! So, I had no idea that there was an IR camera. I did some digging and came up with an analysis, I would be curious if you or anyone else can confirm this. You sparked my curiosity, so I started researching a bit, and I noticed some articles referring to IR LEDs that are used to...

So, silly question. I wear sunglasses all the time, at least during the day. (Que the "sunglasses at night song") Will the update make that a no-go?

the adaptive steering is the way of the future, 100% I can't WAIT for it. spinning a wheel around is... well, so 1900-ish. When the MSP gets "fly by wire" KITT22 is gona update to KITTXX (whatever year it is). I still stand by there are no issues with the yoke. over 20k miles.. and I have had...

@Gapplebees Congrats! We are in the same boat. I bought my MS Plaid in Feb, will never look back. I do wish I had bought one like yours... I paid a bit more lol. I drive 75 miles a day to work each way... and you are 100% correct. The drive would be torturous in a regular vehicle. The...

I am all about an objective review... but when it starts out with a statement like "I'll show you how Sh!++y the Yoke wheel is" ... bro... come on. I do appreciate it though!!! I know it is time to stop viewing save me 30 minutes of a bias review. So, this question about the roundabout. I...

I love your response "you like it and no one will convince you otherwise". Yep. I do just fine. Why does someone have to convince me? Why can't I just be curious as to why someone else doesn't like it? I can accept that... can you accept that I like it and it works fine for me? I would...

Sorry, maybe my question wasn't clear. I am not looking for the general answer... we all know what the internet says. Many yoke users, like myself, enjoy them. Others users don't like them, typically because of varying reasons, such as living in a city, nervous about making a 3-point turn at...

Bragging rights? eh, kinda? sheer power... absolutely IMHO. If you value acceleration, get the Plaid. Reading your responses a bit, I think you are of the mindset. The Plaid will not disappoint. I have never had anyone say "wow, a Model S!" but when we are talking cars, and I mention Plaid...

why? Honest question, if you have driven on it for a while, I assume you bought before there was a wheel option. After all this time, why do you want to swap now? What is causing you issues?
