i did contemplate the Ram 1500 wheels hack with snow tires swap that i know has been used by a few others to swap in for the 21 road tires in the winter, but since those wheels are pretty easy to come by with lots of tire options, i decided to try a winter on the 21s and see how it went before...

This is great news. I see it shown in the Tesla app and was planning a stop there in early October as I drive CA to MN. Looking forward to trying it out!
