I don't have the Air so I can't speak for that, but one thing I can say are that they arent driving around with some freshly powder coated 19 inch wheels...
 
In all seriousness, do you have summer or all season tires on your vossens?

I think I will be moving a cheaper car, just because I need to lower by debts, I lived a richer life probably then I could afford.
I will now put a serious price for local buyers, $2500 now.
These tires must go.
 
Well we laughed, we cried, and this may go down as one of the best posts in history. After seeing all the work Lucid is doing plus making a commitment to drive my car to the ground I plan to just switch to the 19s once my 20s run out of tread. You may kill this post now.
 
This thread shall live in infamy forever.
 
I must say this is one of the most robust threads on this forum
 
Uh oh. I just read the following in the Tesla forum:
I'll chime in with the counter to this recommendation to powder coat the wheels: do NOT powder coat the factory wheels. There are several reasons: it adds more weight than you realize (especially considering it's unsprung weight), it can add imbalances, and it can even compromise the integrity of the wheel itself. This depends on the process used and the individual performing the process... who will all tell you they're experts as you shop for the cheapest one.
As someone who was young once and thought powder-coated wheels were the coolest... I quickly discovered through various ongoing problems that it's just not worth it. Especially on a 5,000lb car w/over 1k horsepower that introduces some physics to a wheel the automotive industry doesn't regularly see. It seems like a cheap alternative to buying better wheels or simply having wheels similar to everyone else. Still, the reality is that it could also introduce a lot of variables and stressors that one isn't expecting.

watch out, he's gonna read this and interpret the power coating as a special add-on that gives the car a unique driving dynamic, thus allowing him to increase his asking price

Yah true but for me those are spares my mains are Vossen 20s ht4s

OK, here's what we know so far: according to Tesla, you shouldn't powder-coat factory wheels. To your credit, you're rolling in style with some Vossen hybrid-forged 20's.
But the powder-coated ones you use as spares and are selling are factory wheels?

I must say I'm starting to get concerned here.
