60-0 MPH braking distance?

[johnson184]

Still awaiting the VIN for my model Y performance. But I decided to skip the PUP and go with the 20" Induction wheels to preserve range. I know I lose the performance brakes... but does anyone know the stopping distance for 60-0mph with the 21" wheels & PUP and the 20" wheels without the performance brakes?

It's likely the same unless you're driving on a track and the regular brakes will get hot earlier than the performance brakes.

This. It’s your tires and friction that stop your car, the brakes just assist. Until you’ve overheated your brake rotors and pads, there is no discernible difference... Enjoy!

Summer tires (21") vs all season tires (19" and 20")? I'm pretty sure the soft-rubber wider summer tires will stop faster.

BTW, keep in mind that the lower the tire profile, the closer the tread width is to the sidewall bulge width. A 255/35 has a wider tread than a 255/40 (in general). 255 means the sidewall bulge is 255mm, the contact patch is narrower. As empiredown noted, the brake size isn't a major parameter in a single 0-60 stop.

Personally, I still like the 19" gemeni wheels the best though.

Looking at the 20" all seasons specifically, but I can't seem to find 60-0mph braking distance data anywhere for any Model Y configuration. Still awaiting a VIN for my Model Y order, but I've been trying to convince a relative to get one too. Informed them of how safe Teslas are... but I couldn't answer the braking distance question lol.

Edmunds just posted a video, they consistently got 108 feet, didn’t fade, worst after multiple stops was 109.
