21" Uberturbine for 20" Induction Wheel Swap - New England Area

[greensprit]

I'm getting a MYP PUP with 21" Uberturbines in Boston area and would love to do a cashless swap with someone that's getting the induction wheels. Let me know if you're interested.

I don't think they'll fit.

 

[greensprit]

According to this thread they should fit. Brake diameters are identical with PUP.
Model Y Lackluster Performance Upgrade Package

Both performance and performance PUP have 14" rotors, 19" should fit too.

18in wheels fit as well long as they are the right width and offset and you place the wheel weights on the back of the barrel

I am in NYC and would be willing to do the same. My uberturbines for 20'' inductions!

 

[Dude85D]

Anyone successfully swapped 21' for 20"? Do 20" fit on a Y with upgraded brakes?

i1 Tesla put 18’s on his at the track. I actually think the vid is on Out of Spec

i am in Brooklyn have MYP with the 21" about to deliver how bad is the drive with them on the city roads?

TBH have not been driving much given the current situation so I dont have too many data points. Need to keep your head on a swivel for those potholes...

The ride is stiff and a little bumpy on bad roads but they ride pretty good for the most part. You won’t get them and say “I need to get rid of these immediately”.

 

[Kuro Houou]

I have a feeling people might have to pay to get rid of the 21's, at least supply will be much greater then demand. while I think they look awesome, they are super heavy and inefficient

thanks for the insight so bumpy but not ""bangy" would you say?

Just drove all over brooklyn today and on the cobble streets in dumbo...wheels are fine and they dont feel like they are going to fall off as long as your not driving 60mph over potholes.

Yep, I think so. Especially since it looks like it don't fit any of the Model 3s. There is going to be a very limited market for them. Really a shame Tesla doesn't offer the rest of the performance package with just different wheel options. I'm tempted to drop it now myself. I'm not a fan of the Gemini wheels though either, but want to see what they look like powder coated gunmetal or black.

Yeah... The Induction wheels seem to be the best Tesla wheels for the car, not too big, just right I am torn as well between the PUP and Stealth. But either way I feel like the car needs new wheels... I think if the Stealth at least came with the bigger brakes it would be a super easy choice.. but unfortunately that's not the case.

My take: either way, the car needs new wheels. With the PUP, you get summer performance tires, so you at least need winter tires.

thank you

They seem to absorb bumps pretty well; I can’t recall hitting a huge construction or pothole bump yet though. This forum has made me paranoid about it lol.

Welllllll - at some point I'm going to pop a rim/tire and not replace so I'll be looking at winter's (19s) AND a regular set - shame. And I wonder if Inductions are much softer than Ubers - profile looks almost as low. Silly that we have to wait to winter for a cushy (but growly) ride.
