    HW3 to HW4 Upgrade

    Well, hopefully a retrofit to HW 4 at least for the HW 3 cars will be possible, regardles of FSD. Current vision only AP completely SUCKS! After a 1.500 km roadtrip last weekend, I don't want to use it anymore, it was very stressful most of the trip (driving at night, lots of rain). 6 months ago...

    Model Y Performance 21" Tires - Larger, More Comfortable Fitment Details and Experience - Michelin AS4's (With Photos)

    *feel (not wheel) on the steering wheel. **275/40 R19, not R21, I guess it was to early and I cannot edit it anymore. ;)

    Model Y Performance 21" Tires - Larger, More Comfortable Fitment Details and Experience - Michelin AS4's (With Photos)

    I went to a 275 40 R19 square setup on my MPY. Surely Uberturbines with thicker tyres look better but I cannot have my speedo being off so much, anything more than 2 % is not legal in Europe. Less would not be a problem. I absolutely love the wheel on the steering wheel, with 21s and eveny...

    Picture of your Model Y - Right Now!

    Picked up my MYP on Monday. Since this is in Europe, we get proper summer tires - Pirelli P-Zero - staggered of course. Compared to a YLR (without boost), the P is just crazy fast. It was made in Berlin.

    Move from Audi Q7 to Model Y or alternative?

    Been running my MY LR on 19s at 37 PSI (cold) since day 2. Only on delivery day 45 PSI and I thought to myself WTF is wrong with the suspension?? Will do the same as soon as MYP is delivered.

    Move from Audi Q7 to Model Y or alternative?

    Had a Model S 2017, then a Model 3 P, etron sportback and finally a Model Y LR. No regrets switching to MY LR. Apart for the ride quality in interior quality Audi felt like a 10 yo car. Laggy infotainment, engine start button, 3 screens, inaccurate range estimate and so on... After owning a MY...

    Model Y now unaffordable for most of us

    Another even more extreme example is Europe: average price for a new car in 2021 was 34k € (38k $ - all prices with sales tax as this is they way we roll in Europe). A Model Y in Germany starts at 53k € (60k $) including government grants, so it is 60 % more expensive than average new car. Being...

    Ride Quality of Tesla Model Y

    The ride improves a bit after about 5k km / 3k miles, but it is still harsh. Had a 2020 M3P and it was more slightly more comfortable with 20s and noticeably more comfortable with 18s when I compare it with MY LR 2021 (Made in China). Some even state, that MYP with über heavy 21s rides better...

    Ride Quality of Tesla Model Y

    There is little diference, interestingly 19 and 20 inch wheels weigh almost the same. Interestingly when switching to much lighter 19 inch wheels for winter (about 2 kg lighter rim), the ride qualitily improves, probably also softer winter tyres help a bit.

    Yup, bought some a while ago, here they are called T€SLA. 😀 More folks should be buying them now too, Elon is probably selling today again...

    Weekend camping in my new Model Y

    WOW, great photos! 👍 Reminds me of our roadtrip to West Coast in 2010. My GF and I drove almost 5.000 miles (AZ, UT, NV, CA), renting a 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan, often sleeping in the car. The new reality with two small kids and covid makes such roadtrips almost impossible for us Europeans, so I...

    Family wants to delay model Y for Giga Texas but...

    Choose a Texas (and Berlin) only color, than you would get a TX car. :) At the time writing this, you cannot yet do so.

    Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

    After driving almost 5.000 km (3.000 miles) from delivery with my Model Y LR, the suspension settled quite a bit. In am sure that it is not just me beeing adjusted to the harsh ride. I am on 19s only.

    I see so many model Y owners having issues. Would you buy again?

    Yup, it is always only 3 clicks/taps away. :)

    2022 Austin Model Y vs 2021 Fremont Model Y

    Lower weight = more range if the battery remains the same.

    Brand new Model Y P needs a battery replacement.

    You can at least enjoy the comfortable ride of the Model S. It is like riding on clouds if you compare it with a MYP. ☁️:)

    Testing home charger without car?

    Not really, ask someone you know that owns a Tesla to come by and buy him/her a beer/coffee afterwards. :)

    Confirmation on 275/35R21 on front.

    Do we have any confirmation, that 275/35 R21 fit on front axle of the MYP without rubbing? Not on the 9,5 inch wheel, it is clear that they fit.

    China Made Model Y Performance infotainment system has AMD Ryzen processors and AMD GPUs!

    Ordered my MYP (in Europe) a few weeks ago, shoud be arriving in Q1.2022. AMD Ryzen would be a welcome change for the better, but a more compliant suspension would be my preference. :cool:

    Maximum Tires Size Model Y Performance?

    No, 295/35 R21 is max for the rear or 285/40 R21 if you want more sidewall. I am pretty sure 295/40 R21 will not work, maybe someone has tried it out...

    Would the Model Y Fishtail with the acceleration?

    Agreed, but for skilled drivers in snow conditions always going a bit sideways, if one wishes to, is just so much fun!

    Downgrading wheels on performance upgrade?

    What a sleeper with aero covers... and than seeing something red behind them. 😈 😍

    Downgrading wheels on performance upgrade?

    Yes it does compensate. The front tires are of exact the same diameter, the rears have only 2,1 % less diameter, since the rear 21s are wider and taller than the fronts.

    Model Y 19" Gemini Wheel and Winter Tire Package On MYP

    Well, we (the hell) in Europe (or at least in least Germany) do care about the max speed. :cool: Many videos/photos online, even on this forum, where it has been proven, that the Geminis do clear the P calipers.

    KW V3 coilovers for Tesla Model Y

    Sure: Shop - Produkte online bestellen Summary: front & back 25-50 mm lower, both tension and compression are adjustable, material: stainless steel. For AWD LR, but not for P and SR. They are progressive springs, as opposed to linear OEM springs. Production begins in => 8 weeks Sounds promising. 🤩

    Inductions and Potholes?

    No, if one wishes to leave the Geminis in original color. Also Orbitex covers look way better in IMO.

    Inductions and Potholes?

    19s and Laminar Black - Set of 4 Wheel Covers is the way to go if you wanna ride comfortably (as far as the MY suspension allows it), avoid bent wheels and look good. :) Ordering mine today, but should last a few weeks until the package reaches to Europe, since they are on backorder.

    Nice wheels, but your speed is also 5 % off, since the wheels are to big.

    Michelin will making EV specific tire for the U.S.

    FYI: European Model Y´s are delivered with Michelin Pilot Sport EV Tyres from the factory, if one chooses Induction wheels. If not, Hankook Ventus EVO S1 is standard for 19 inch Variant. I have the latter, as an ex M3P owner with Michelin PSP4S, I an amazed by the standard Hankook tyres. Maybe...

    An obvious proof that my Y was made in China. Heated steering wheel and HEPA are also on board, so is the lack of lumbar support for the passenger, but than again front radar is there.

    finding public wifi for updates

    Curb Rash MYP 21" Uberturbine (Fixable?)

    100-150 $ a rim sounds fine, just paying for it a few times a year does not. :) I will be taking delivery of my MYP (Europe) in Q1 od Q2 2022, one of the first things would be replacing the wheels with some lightweight 19s.

    Software stuck on 2021.3.104, but Tesla thinks I am on 2021.4. How can this be?

    Picked my car (made in China) up on Sept. 3, still stuck on 2021.3.104. My service appointment in the app has been cancelled, the explanation was: "your car has the latest SW available". I think I will be calling them and ask for a force update, maybe that will work.
