2022 MYP vs MYLR?

[WyomingEV]

The MYP is the ONLy way to go! The power is always there and so much fun to drive!

 

[xyeahtony]

The only issue i have with getting a P over LR is the fact the P comes with summer tires which i so do not want because they’ll have to get changed out by winter and replaced completely by next summer

Ps are coming with AS Michelins now, at least 50/50 chance. They appear to be swapping over to AS from summer only.

 

[maaaaaaaaaap]

is the myp noticeably lower than the mylr?

Not really.

Yes. I can tell from miles away which one is MYP or MYLR by looking at the gap between the tires and the wheel well

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.

19" on a P v 20" on an LR.

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.

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.

More like half Id say.
The LR is currently October 2022 7 months …and the MYP is June 2022…3 months.

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

P has the 21” Ubers, red calipers and rear carbon fibre spoiler, and is lower by 1-1.25” for a sportier suspension.

Not worth it for me. The MYLR is plenty fast. Faster than most cars on the street. The P may have higher insurance premiums.

Also, paying extra for a stiffer ride, thinner sidewall on tires (potholes), lower stance (i.e., scraping mud flaps), and lower range do 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...

I'm sure most P owners just didn't want to wait the extra 6+ months.

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.

Actually I have 295/275 combo so my sidewalls are increased. I also run at 38 psi which takes care of the little bumps and makes the ride almost like an LR with 19’s. Almost lol.

I love the extra braking, handling, power, lowered stance, spoiler.

When you add in 20” inductions and accel boost for an LR, the price delta is around 2k.
Not worth the LR at that point…range is only 18 miles apart. And you wait how long for an LR?

One could even put 19/20’s on a P and range will increase closer to LR levels.

Threads like this always end up turning into a defense of what you ordered yourself!

I too contemplated MYLR vs MYP when originally placing my order, and then again when Tesla gave us the option to change our config without penalty (meaning didn't have to pay then current prices). The cost difference may be an argument for some, but had no bearing on my decision. I already had the acceleration boost on my M3LR (3.7s) and test drove a MYLR before my delivery date and honestly didn't feel 4.8s was as slow as I thought it would feel in comparison. I also couldn't really tell the difference between my M3LR matrix headlights and the originals on the MYLR, granted the M3 is lower to the ground. Maybe side by side I could, but real world I just couldn't.

It basically came down to longer range (especially taking into account cold weather months) and not wanting to deal with damaged wheels from potholes for me. With that said I love how the MYP wheels, red brake calipers, and lowered height look. I was never a fan of the carbon spoiler and would have definitely removed it. You really can't go wrong with either model to be honest, just get what best fits your needs because it's different for everyone.

 

[nate704]

I definitely did not like the aero wheel cover on the 19s.

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?

Yes you're right.

I just got my MYP over the weekend. No regret. Ride quality is similar to my M3s and acceptable. Like the look of red brembo and spoiler. Uber turbines look amazing. Love the acceleration. Although I am happy with MP, if the EDD was the same for both P and LR, I would have kept the LR order. I just couldn’t wait til end of this year or next year for LR. I am using my MY for daily commute, 100miles. P’s speed is a bonus but I don’t track or rarely push the car to max. My M3 LR and SR are plenty quick and fast. As a long time EV owner, range is the king. LR would give me a longer range and lower cost of maintenance, especially with replacing tires. On Monday, I picked up a set of Gemini wheels/tires from another member. I plan to replace my P wheels with Gemini in winter and who knows, I may just keep them on.

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.

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.
