I would still do what I did - buy 2nd set of wheels, put stock all season performance rubber on that new set, put winter tires on the stock wheels with or without updated hubcaps. I agree with everything you said in this video, especially the start, good stuff.

Tesla must have chosen to allow a certain amount of air through the original for brake cooling. Makes me wonder how different the replacement ones are, however EVs tend to use little breaking so probably fine under most conditions.
