@PVADER23 well, yes and no. First of all, your thread title is misleading, since the euro release is a 2021 model year not 2022.

And to those changes: the new headlights are already on North American Model Y but only the Performance models so far, and on all North American Model 3s. Allegedly they may be coming to the Model Y long range here as well at some point but nobody knows for sure, or when.

The updated door panels are also already in North America on 2021 Model 3s: First Tesla Model 3 with new wood door trim delivered in the US, and it comes with a surprise [Update], as well as all the made-in-China Model 3s and Ys. Most assume they will come to the MY in NA as well, but again nobody knows for sure if and when.

Tesla ships Model Y from Shanghai plant to Europe for first time

The American electric car giant shipped 8,210 of its Model Y sports utility vehicles manufactured in China to Europe in July, as the Gigafactory 3 becomes its main export hub.

Actually a Couple people here in Southern California already have the new headlights on their model Ys. Saw them down here at fashion Island in Newport.

Thanks. Where does he say they removed white leather?

@PVADER23 most likely those are MY P, and not MY LR

Another new one, I spy Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires on the Induction wheels. Lets hope Fremont/Austin switch to these tires as well for the MY LR.

Bjorn's interior review. Just noticed the Hankook tires vs Contis on the 19" wheels.

If you look at the door panel, you'll see the white leather on the door isn't there anymore. looks like black alcantara

 

[mark95476]

Bjorn is live streaming his Model Y testing. He REALLY doesn't like the suspension (harsh ride) and swapped out the 19" wheels with aftermarket 18". Its improved, but he still doesn't like it. Just imagine if he had the P with stiffer suspension and bigger wheels.

Remember that he had the first gen Performance 3. He really loved the latest MIC 3 SR+.

Seen several current white interiors with white panel. Expect mine will be white too.

@mark95476 technically it's not his MY, it's on loan from leasing company Kjøp og salg av EL-Bil i Norge | Marcusbil AS to test. I haven't seen his take on the suspension yet but I'd have to agree with him, it's harsh on the LR w/ 19" wheels for sure. Ours is slowly softening a little but still jostles enthusiastically over every road imperfection and--God forbid you should encounter any--speed bump

He's planning a long road trip to Croatia so he needs to get the MY sorted otherwise it'll be miserable.

Thomas' follow-up including driving on the autobahn.

Key driving specifics take-aways from me
- Very nimble and handles like a go kart, but suspension can be improved
- He was testing 20" and recommended stock 19"
- 225 kph/120 mph top speed is easy attained and feels planted
- Very inspired and sporty acceleration (compared to German vehicles with M, AMG, or RS badges), even in the LR AWD
- Efficiency is excellent, range is good, even when driving like a German
- Drivers really need to pay attention to passengers in EVs, especially with nimble Teslas, as they'll get motion sick

Would like someone to take a Y to the Nurburgring pls.
