Tesla already can use 245 all round or staggered 245/265 setup so electronics should be able to handle another 0.5% more in diameter. Maybe on the very extremes if rear was brand new and front almost worn out, the difference may be getting too much.There is no mechanical link between front and rear and no centre diff to worry about like on quattro. You may loose a little bit or range but I don't think it will make big impact. I think 275s are more popular than 265 so should be more choice and better prices.

Thanks Ainars - I agree: they'll be replacing 265/35/21 rears on a staggered set up, which I think should be fine, I just wanted to double check
