Deliveries of 21 inch wheels or NON off-road upgrade?

[tjaco007]

So it's pretty clear they've held off on ocean coast interior, and lots of posts discussing the why, etc. But has anyone taken delivery of 21 inch wheels? It doesn't look like it from delivery pictures.

Also, can anyone confirm if they've received an R1T WITHOUT the off road upgrade?

I would like to know that also. That off road option reduces the R1T payload by 300+pounds.

Watching these items also. But looks like about half did not get the off road upgrade on the (much appreciated) delivery tracking spreadsheet on this site. Link at the top of the main page.

I've seen several pictures with the 21s recently, some in delivery centers or on trucks. Usually the main focus of the picture has been something else though. See the El Cap in the background.

The 21” wheels are out there. I recently saw about 4 trucks with them at the Sacramento area service center.

There are trucks without the off road package for sure. Somebody provided pictures of one they took deliver of in a thread on here. It still had the silver skid plate and tow hooks.

Saw these 21’s at Denver SC early this week. Most of the 40 rigs on their lot are 20’s with a few 22’s.

Wait, is that a single aero cap? For some reason, I thought reach some piece was separate.

Cross shopping for a 275/55/R21 replacement tire is limited on Tire Rack. They only offer the original Scorpion Verde tire at $413 each.

It looks like it but I was already creeper enough so didn’t want to go touching other’s stuff. IMO, it wasn’t the most aesthetically pleasing wheelset with the insert so without it may be much sharper.

One piece would make sense as it would presumably be a sturdier mount and cut down on losing the inserts. Could not tell if it was mounted via the lugnuts, center cap, or multiple snap ins.

They are only delivering LE packages now and the wheel upgrades were mostly free for them. Seems most people would choose the pricey upgrades vs the free tires, thus less 21s to see being delivered.

I would love a real world range test comparing the 20's and the 21's. Out of Spec's test on the 20s was promising. It sure would be nice to know the range delta between them to know if those ugly, oddball size 21's are worth keeping

Yes, fully agree. Based on Out of Spec Review, you could argue that with 21's you could see up to 345 real miles of range at 70 mph (in conserve mode), which would be huge. I'm not in love with the looks, but could be ok with it if I can get that kind of real world range.

Assuming there's no change to my timing (unlikely since I'm Q4 2022 and that's best case) I may ditch the off road package if the all Launch/Adventure get tow hooks standard. Save myself a few hundred pounds of weight and since I wouldn't do much rock crawling with an $80k vehicle it's not really needed.
