What do you mean "make it worse"? It's common for people to want to raise or lower their vehicle.

Anyone got some insight on these? Will raise the Model Y 1.2"; and seems to be a better option than those cheap aluminum spacers https://www.hrsprings.com/application/search/results/55/2464/2020/

Suspension is the largest factor, but it's been well documented that thin tires on large wheels make the ride harsher on road imperfections.

One thing I didn't like was how punishing the ride was with those thin stretched OEM tires.

What about doing 265/35 in the front and 285/35 in the rear?

I slightly disagree with you that the wider tires offer no wheel protection. On the OEM tires, even with that "rim lip", the wheels still protruded a few mm past the rubber. The other day, I slightly bumped my rear tire against a curb on a Panera driver-through turn; fortunately it hit the...

Like many here, I've moved the 275/35/21 tires in the front and traded in those 255/35/21's for Michelin 295/35/21 Pilot Sport All Season 4 in the rear. While this greatly reduced the potential for curb rash, I don't like the 5 to 8% drop in efficiency, the louder tire noise in the rear (295's...

I can still get 260 to 280 Wh/mi with that setup, but have to drive efficiently. Usually it's closer to 300 Wh/mi though.

That is an interesting idea! I wonder if I changed the tires size to 19" square in the sevice menu, and I'd magically get the 44 mph.

I have two plug in vehicles. I was using a 3rd party charger that was rated at 240/16A for the 14-50R. There was a regional incentive to get reimbursed for the majority of the cost to add a wall charger with the install. Charging the vehicle is nearly 3x as fast now, which I appreciate, but I...

Not range anxiety, just disappointed that I made the investment for the direct wire unit and install, and not getting the advertised rates. Before I was using a NEMA 14-50 outlet at 240/16 amps. I could of easily just purchased the $200 240/40A Tesla portable corded charger and got similar...

The numbers I've monitored on the app were 239 to 240 volts under load and 40 to 41 MPH charging on the MYP. I was hoping to get the constant 44 shown on the chart. The electrician said that this use to be the case, but the software (or design) of the MYP '22-'23 changed somewhere, and now they...

As Tesla advertised, the electrician stated that the regular model Y's get 44 miles range per hour (running at 240V and drawing 48 amps). However, for some reason, his experience is that the Model Y Performance only gets 40 to 41 mph. Why is this the case when the battery packs are basically...

It's okay, but if you have the tools, I would just do it yourself and save the money. The Tesla 3/Y is not really hard to take out the shocks and struts.

With the current Tesla leases, do you have the option to buy it at the term end?

I may have one somewhere. In some ways, the 20" Uberturbines are superior than the 21" that come stock with the car. They are significantly lighter, better efficiency (I've measured it), it's a square setup, and you have much more variety in tire choices. Also the ride is not as bumpy, as you...

Just reduced price, still available!

Yes

Original OEM 20" Uberturbine wheels with tires. These wheels are from a Model 3 Performance and will fit BOTH All Model Y trims and a Model 3. This is a nice option on a Tesla Y if you want a square setup. Tires are Yokohama Geolandar 255/45/20 and contain the factory TPMS sensors. However...

So how does the vehicle determine when it's dark to turn on the projectors?

I noticed sometimes when I pull into the garage, the left projector goes off. It could be because the a light sensing sensor is being obstructed. Anyone know where the sensor is that detects night/day?

Selling for $299 shipped. Was installed and used for a couple weeks. I removed them because I am going to try coilovers. Good condition with all the parts (and original box)! Went from ground clearance of 6.2" to 8" (even more with off-road tires). Definitely useful for Overlanding. Install...

I just moved the 275's to the front and got the 295 Michelin Pilot Sports A/S in the rear. Ride and looks are noticeably better. Handling is the same, if not better. More rim protection in the rear is nice too.

They were: 6 M8 Bolts and 6 M8 Nuts. I'm sure MPP can either send you them or you can find out the length and buy them at a hardware store.

Where are the fastners for the front strut spacers?

Why do so many people do the spacers vs a real off-road option like rally type coilovers?

Anyone heard or experience this product? It's rather pricey, and not a whole lot of data out there Dirt And Snow Offroad Coilover Kit For Tesla Model Y

What is the exact difference between the two? Has the spring rate on all 4 coils changed, and what about the front struts and rear shocks?

Apparently, Hiro uses many of the same parts from SF Racing. Wanted to know if anyone knows of the company for lowering and lifting applications as they are much less expensive than some of the premium brands.

This is not accurate. Due to the different rear motors, the MYP does 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds reliably, and has a top speed of 155. Reports are that the Model Y LR with Acceleration boost gets about 4.4 seconds to 60 and still is stuck at 135 mph top speed. The Performance is rated at 455 hp...

Spaccers are rings that can be installed under/over your coil springs to adjust height. They seem to be popular with Europe OEMs, but the level of difficulty of install and availability is lacking in the U.S. https://www.spaccer.com/en_US/makes-and-models/tesla/model-y-9797

So why does Mountain Pass Performance "Highly Recommend" the Rear upper Camber Arms, if you can get good alignment without them? https://www.mountainpassperformance.com/product/tesla-model-3-y-rear-camber-arms/

I am curious on the final camber of the alignment of the TSportline Kit.

Thanks for that video clip. I still have my OEM 21" and try it out and report back!

I've tried the 255/45/20 on my MYP; but square setup. Not sure why you would want to have a 20" rear/21" front, when you can easily do: 255/40/21 on the front and 265/40/21 in the rear. The suspension on the vehicle has a greater impact on ride quality than the tire's sidewall tbo.

What Lift Kit will you be using for this build?

The suspension (ie struts, springs and shocks) are the biggest factor. Larger sidewalls on tires will help, but mostly just with less jarring feel on impacts.

BTW, Tesla Inc. Is not just Elon. He is one of the many of the founders.

I've heard stories about this, even with Tesla Mobile Service...if they saw non-Tesla wheels they would not perform service on them. This is why many of us with Model Ys will only use the approved wheels such as the 19" Gemini, 20" Inductions or 21" Uberturbines only.

Was your aftermarket wheel 19, 20, or 21"? Because in the service menu, you are allowed to choose between the 3 and whether its a square or staggered setup.

The TSportline Skip Plates look pretty nice in my opinion. They have just been released, and have a nice factory OEM look.

Review the The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. According to the FTC, using aftermarket or recycled/re-manufactured parts doesn't void a vehicle warranty. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for companies to void a warranty or deny coverage under the warranty because an aftermarket or...

275/40/20 tires would be under 29" and not have rubbed.

You probably should of put the factory wheels back on before the warrant claim.

Any advantages/disadvantages going with the TSportline lift vs MPP? Also, is the TSportline one really 1.8" or is it 1.75", and they rounded up? How did Camber look after alignment?

I like this set, but you adjustment isn't as easy as most other coil over systems: https://unpluggedperformance.com/product/dirt-and-snow-coilover-suspension-kit-for-tesla-model-y/

Less expensive and red to match my performance brakes.

Why MPP over TSportline?

20" wheel; square setup. No tire size ratio option yet though.

Larger wheels are always heavier, they are also cast so that doesn't help either.
