    Performance vs not in a new Y

    I have a MYP, wife has a 3LR. Get the P if you want more fun, if you are a "car guy" or if you're going to second guess your decision for the next 5 years. If you are creating a spreadsheet of efficiencies and comps, then get the LR because the P does not make sense financially. But the...

    If rears wear out first, is there really an advantage to a square setup on a MYP?

    I've always planned on doing a square setup on MYP but now I'm wondering why. Unlike most cars which wear out the fronts first, and we then rotate backs to front, is it even worth doing that on Teslas where the rears typically wear out first? Seems strange to put the more worn out tire from...

    Tesery "Forged Zero G style" wheels seem inexpensive. Not forged?

    @Tesery - those are good specs. Any pics or video of production process? Are they strength tested and JWL/VIA certified?

    Tesery "Forged Zero G style" wheels seem inexpensive. Not forged?

    @Tesery Actually the weight and load specs are not on the page, or at least I didn't find them. Let's go with a 21 Model Y in a 21" wheel. What is the weight and load specs? And do you have pictures or videos of the manufacturing process? Thanks.

    Tesery "Forged Zero G style" wheels seem inexpensive. Not forged?

    Thanks for reply so far. I'm not ruling out that they are a good company or make good products... but as you said... not sure I want to be the first.

    Tesery "Forged Zero G style" wheels seem inexpensive. Not forged?

    Anyone have experience with Tesery wheels? Chinese company making "forged" wheels. The zero G style are inexpensive compared to most. Just wondering if anyone has explored the quality side. I'm looking at that style from Tsportline which are flow forged. Thanks for input.

    Suspension Clearances for Wider / Taller tires

    Am I crazy to try 265/40/21 snow tires on a MYP? I get winter options are better on 20s/19s, but honestly not that much if you are over 255 in width (albeit 21s are more expensive). If 265/40/21 and 285/40/21 on a MYP clears the Michelin all seasons, should clear winter tread as well...

    Not at this point. But thank you for your interest. I could meet somewhere halfway when the time comes.

    21" Uberturbines for sale. Sacramento area.

    I'm not sure if they would clear. I thought I read that some have fit the 21s on a model 3, but I do not know. Might be pretty tight. Perhaps there's a thread in the Model 3 forums about it.

    Recent MYP Delivery Estimates

    As of this morning, I have VIN too now... and it's set to Cash, asking to link a bank and pay. But where do you see the actual purchase agreement with VIN? I'm planning on DCU as well, pre-approved, but they said I'd need purchase agreement. Thanks

    Buyer anxiety - help!

    Teslas - to me - are the first cars that I can remember where we felt this way. Kind of like how PCs were in the 90s -- every new version seemed to double in speed and performance. That's why I used to say back then, "I wish Silicon Valley made cars. " But it should be this way for quite a...

    Current Delivery Times

    After it kept sliding back, my last EDD was 8/10- something. Now when I click Manage in my account... it doesn't go anywhere. Maybe they don't like me. Feelings hurt. 🤣

    My father in law just waited nearly 6 months for a Ford F150. I know those are extremely rare (lol) but perhaps that'll cheer someone up.

    Current Delivery Times

    Got it, thanks. I love that color but ordered white. Perhaps I have a lot more time to think about it. Aug 10 to 7-10 weeks.

    Anyone able to pick up directly from Fremont, if live close enough?

    It was worth checking. I've already run into things my SA says no on, then find out otherwise, then get her to change it cause she really didn't know. LOL. Thanks all.

    Anyone able to pick up directly from Fremont, if live close enough?

    I'd rather not pay $1100 for delivery fee when I can drive 90 min to Fremont. But my profile picks my "local store" to deliver to and thus an extra delivery fee. Or is it? I get that it's a 60K car and I'm splitting hairs but just curious if anyone has had success with this. Thanks.

    Why are you trading them? Efficiency? Ride?

    Swap 21s for 20s?

    I've got an MYP coming as early as 8/9. Interested it trading someone the P's uberturbine 21s for the LR's 20s. 21s look better but I need more winter tire options. Would need to trade new for new essentially. PM me if interested. I'm in Northern California (Folsom/ El Dorado hills area)...

    Anyone tried to pick up vehicle from factory, instead of having it shipped a short distance? (in my case 90 min away from Fremont, and they charge 1100 or whatever for shipping), plus time for shipping.

    Performance Suspension not so Performance

    Does the MYP effectively have the same suspension as the LR, just 1" lower? (and yes, 21s). Thanks

    Does swapping to 20" wheels change mileage on the Model Y Performance?

    Thank you for replies, So it sounds like yes? Or Maybe? Curious if anyone with MYP who has swapped to 20s could weigh in on results.

    Does swapping to 20" wheels change mileage on the Model Y Performance?

    I'm a fan of the MYP, but not a fan of 21s. Seems like I've read different things about this... but does switching to 20" wheel size change the mileage? Or why does the mileage lower on a MYP vs LR -- assuming you drove it the same, let's say on chill. I know several have swapped to 20s...

    Late 2020 Demo or New 2021 Y??

    Thanks for replies. Yeah, I'm not a fan of owning the 21s, but they look cool. Definitely see the 21's up for sale on marketplace for those who buy performance and swap wheels. For me it's that I want the P acceleration, don't care about track, lowered suspension or 21s. But of course...

    Late 2020 Demo or New 2021 Y??

    @acarney or anyone else, why is the stealth model ideal? I still see them available as used inventory. Is the lowered suspension a downside? I've toyed with that vs a new 2021. Just wondered if there have been enough minor tweaks on 2021 to make it a better buy. But in general the speed...
