Default Gas or no gas

Picked this puppy up a little over a month ago Tesla model S 85D. Still have the Sc which is my first love, but this one is growing on me also. Mods are slowing happening, new wheels sooner or later.


2015 model s 85d

Congratulations......but what's wrong with the present wheels? Do you just want a different color wheel?

Looks great! Did you buy it new, or is it a used model?

Yes different color wheels, looking at 20's staggered 20x9's up front, 20x10's rear. These are 19x9's all around.

@Carbon J : Congrats on the new ride! Can you speak a little bit about your CPO/buying experience with Tesla? Was the process pretty smooth? Any hiccups or advice to share?

My friend is a Tesla body guy and he wouldn't own one if it was free and at the moment he has 5 Teslas in the shop and 3 of them (just delivered) are in for factory defects as their quality control sucks. Good luck down the road.

wheels shmeels... they look good and the model s is dope, congrats on the electrification!

the only tesla 'mod' it seems you need when you get one of these is some kind of 'funny' vanity plate to make sure people realize your car isn't burning anything

you said it not me

even if what's being said is true it's still 'rude' to say that about what someone just bought and are excited about lol

I like this plate, though it is on a Chevy Volt and not a Tesla.

It's all good, I did my homework for years and found the car and options I wanted. Bought directly from Tesla so I have a 4yr/50k warranty, besides it's not my daily.
