I received information that the load rating on the 19x9.5 titan 7 is 750kg(1650lb). Isn't this inadequate for model y since rear axle load is ~3600lbs?

IIRC, bikes add 80-120, and box adds 50-80 watts/mile.
VERY speed dependent (steep curve), unlike the car naked.
Hi everyone - when questioning the figment of the rear caliper for MYP- is this -all- performance rear calibers? Or only the ones that were painted red? I bought a MYP stealth (so no fancy red calipers and no lowered suspension) back when that was still available in 2020– wondering if my MYP would be able to fit the 2021 18inch M3 wheels in the rear or not…If it is modeled after the 2020 and before Model 3 Aero wheel it will not fit the MY Performance due to hitting the rear caliper... but should fit the MY LR.

It is my understanding that the "Stealth P" had the same brakes and suspension as the MYLR of the same year, so any wheels that fit the MYLR should fit the Stealth P.

I ended up getting the performance model y instead and swapping for 20” Martian wheels. They look amazing! I freaking love these wheels and get compliments on them and my car often at superchargers.
As for range I didn’t notice a meaningful difference.
The wheels look fantastic and are very lightweight.
Added rally armor mudflaps, a necessity in Colorado especially on the performance model y. My paint got eaten off the rear doors by gravel within the first month of owning it. I paid 10k to have it repainted and then about another 7k to have the whole car wrapped in ppf. Also a must imo unless you want to see your paint completely stripped away like mine was. Even with mudflaps and ppf there is still chip damage happening on the rear doors, so it’s not a perfect solution either.
Light smoke on the tail lights and dark tint on the all windows and 50% tint on the windshield complete the look. Her name is “you would if you loved me”.

Is it possible to buy the 2021+ Aero wheels (with the 750kg load rating) directly from a Tesla Service Center? If so, does anyone know the price? I'm having a hard time sourcing a used set without tires.
I have a Model 3 w/ 19" wheels that I'll be trading in for a MY in a few months but I was planning on getting new All Weather tires for the winter. However, I don't want to trade in a car with brand new tires.
If I bought 2021+ 18" wheels to swap for now, is there any tire size that could work for both the M3 and the future (if I swapped the geminis out for 18" aeros)?
I had been trying to figure out my wheel/tire setup for the MY and am wondering if I addess my temporary tire needs for the M3 and my future setup for the MY with one solution. Not sure if that's possible though

Back on the first page in post # 14 there is a picture of 18" wheels on a MY LR. I always thought that the SR and LR had the same calipers and bolt pattern, so it should work OK right ?

Yes I saw that post along with a few others who have put aero wheels on a MY, BUT my question is still the same. Will the stock tires on the aeros fit on the MY? All posts I have seen with aero wheels have different tire widths.Back on the first page in post # 14 there is a picture of 18" wheels on a MY LR.

If you're asking if stock Model 3 tires (that come on the Aero wheels) will fit, the answer is, no. They will technically "fit," but they are too small.
They will fit but the circumference is much smaller than standard. Your speedo will be way off, lower ride height, proportional appearance will be strange, etc. But yeah, same bolt pattern so it will fit.
Post #18. The standard Y diameter is 28inches. Tiresize.com is your friend. You can compare sizes there. I haven't changed my wheels yet but if you're around 1% your speedo shouldn't be too far off and cause too many issues but I'm sure there are others with far more experience.
Original M3LR wheels on MYLR w/ 245/60-18 winter tires. That you @Zoomit for your original post. Made me comfortable doing this and understanding what my limitations will be. I've also installed the lift kit and adjustable rear camber arms from @MountainPass Performance.
