Yes. I can tell from miles away which one is MYP or MYLR by looking at the gap between the tires and the wheel wellis the myp noticeably lower than the mylr?
19" on a P v 20" on an LR.If you were to put 19 or 20” wheels on a performance and put it side by side with a LR with the same wheels you wouldn’t notice the difference. But the 21” wheels plus the lowered suspension make quite the statement.
Model Y performance easy choice for me. Because I didn't grow up in EV's, this is my first, and I've never bought a car in my life because it could "go 20 extra miles on a full tank". The way people in general look at EV's is so backwards. I've never in my life asked "how far can this car go before it dies on the side of the road?", but that's how we rate EV's. Is this enjoyable to drive? Does my wife/kids fit? Does it fit in the garage? I've never bought a car based on it's range before I'm stranded before, don't know why I'd start now.Its a 5k difference, but if you are one who is even contemplating the Model Y Performance, you are also someone who is likely to buy the acceleration boost on a Model Y Long Range, and thats 2k. That means the effective difference is 3k, and the Model YP is still faster off the line, has the red calipers etc. At the cost of a 60+k vehicle, 3k is a fairly insignificant amount.
Said another way, someone contemplating a model Y LR vs a Performance model can likely afford the 5k difference (3k after acceleration boost as I said) either up front, or over the cost of the loan.
This is why my wife has a model Y P we just picked up last week instead of a model Y Long range. Can always swap tires to smaller ones etc, but people in ICE land pay a lot of money for extra speed, and 3k is not much in this price range of vehicle.
I didn’t see much the difference in picture between LR and P. How do I know which one is P and which one LE on the road? ThankMore like half Id say.
The LR is currently October 2022 7 months …and the MYP is June 2022…3 months.

P has the 21” Ubers, red calipers and rear carbon fibre spoiler, and is lower by 1-1.25” for a sportier suspension.I didn’t see much the difference in picture between LR and P. How do I know which one is P and which one LE on the road? Thank
Actually, no. I chose MYP because:Not worth it for me. The MYLR is plenty fast. Faster than most cars on the street.
Also, paying extra for a stiffer ride, thinner sidewall on tires (potholes), and lower stance (i.e., scraping mud flaps) does not sound appealing.
Finally, the cars look almost the same. If you are paying for the top model, it should stand out? Tesla owners think my MYLR is a P because I have red badges...
P owners, just admit that you didn't want to wait 6+ months.
Actually, no. I chose MYP because:
1. Different rear motor (stronger/faster i suppose)
2. Better Brakes
3. Factory lowered
4. Matrix Headlights (even those limited functionality, it is still better than regular)
5. I actually like the identical exterior of MYLR and MYP. I don't like to stand out
6. I like the feel and look of 21s with Michelin AS tires.
But that's what the OP is asking, right? Opinions from people and why they chose what they chose. All threads like this are destined to turn into bloody battlegrounds because they're opinions.Threads like this always end up turning into a defense of what your ordered yourself!
Yes you're right.But that's what the OP is asking, right? Opinions from people and why they chose what they chose. All threads like this are destined to turn into bloody battlegrounds because they're opinions.
It was LR for me, no brainer, because ... hm, why did I?
That describes me, I also added the Performance Pedals, painted the Gemini wheels black and calipers red and installed a spoiler. By my math I invested over $3K on my 2020 LR AWD, so the $5K delta becomes less than $2K. I also just bought the 18” tire/wheel package from TSportLine for $2800. I’m undecided if I going to sell the 21s for $2500, I have a buyer who wants them as soon as I can remove them.Many MYP owners simply sell the 21” Ubers and buy a 20” or 19” square option at a mart zero cost. Lighter, even faster than spec and loss of fun across the emigre power band. For 3k diff? 2k if you want an oem spoiler…1.5k if you get your calipers painted.
If you’re one that wants a P style look with your LR and some added ABoost…the P is the way to go and you get the car in 6-8 weeks…not 6-8 months.
