Yes they are 20's. I wanted all season tires given the climate I am in and they don't make decent size 21's. The wheels are 20x9.5 up front and 20X11 in the rear.

Auto Armour in Columbia. I've gone to several in the area and I feel like they do really good work and the price is thousands less than others. Plus they use Suntek which I like better than Xpel which I have had before.

I had some initial quality issues in a thread I started when I first got it. For example, they had to replace my inside drivers side panel because it was off a quarter of an inch from where it met the dashboard. After they replaced it which seemed to take forever, the installer basically said they installed a broken door panel. My passenger rear door was also scratched all the way down the edge when I first bought it, I don't even know how it is even possible to scratch it like that.

The only other things that are frustratingly annoying are software issues. My driver's side seat memory doesn't work anymore to move the seat forward or backward when I hit it, just up or down. This occurred after a software update within a couple months of delivery and I took it to two different service centers and after sitting for hours waiting they said hopefully a future software update fixes it. Now for the past 6 months my memory tilt doesn't automatically adjust when I get in the car so I have to manually adjust it out closer to me every time I get in the car.

Man you guys...when it's time to buy my M3P, I'm going to keep browsing to Model S Plaid. Can I make it work? Nah, then I'll go back to M3P, but go back to Plaid again to see if I can make it work...

I think it's hardware. I know someone else with a Plaid and doesn't have this issue. My son's friend is a Tesla tech that works in the Fremont factory, he does all the warranty repair stuff. Let me ping him for you and see if this is a known issue. He works on this kind of stuff day in day out

If it was hardware I wouldn’t be able to adjust if from the power seat controls or steering button or am I not thinking correctly? If you could check that would be great.

Yeah I just pinged him on Whatsapp. He's extremely knowledgeable, fixes this stuff day in and day out. I'll get back to you in a PM (using the PS PM) when he pings me back

LOL let me explain. The P2 forum has a really good PM section. It's built exactly like the main forum, you can invite as many people as you like and create your own private "sub forum" that's unlimited. Also, it lets you cut and paste pics and videos directly into the body. Makes it much easier sharing content. The CL PM section is just way too limited

You got me pegged! Except that truck would have been taken apart in pieces A few of us from different forums use the P2 PM section to discuss various stuff not related to Polestar only because of the way it's built. Imagine having a private space that is built exactly like the main forum and you can have 3 people or 100 people participating. I like it better than using FB or any other social media platform, and I like that you can share unlimited content very easily

LOL sorry, I didn't catch that! My bad . You know at my age, when you add something to my brain, it has to kick something out. Yeah, you can kind of describe it like a litterbox
