Can’t you just get 20 inch wheels? Or is it effecting performance?
If you have any links to read about it I’ll appreciate!
Sure you could. They still need to be staggered for performance. But about $3-4k of the $10k you’re paying for the performance is for those rims and tires. Buying new rims and tires will set you back another $3-4k.
Whether they’re 19” or 20” or 21”, they’re still meant to be mounted staggered, so they can’t be rotated and, as such, along with their general composition, have a shorter life.

Got it, understood. I still do not want to spend additional money on top of the $$ already paid to upgrade. Plus, from what I read the ride still need at least the coil overs in addition to the tires to make a dent in comfortability.

I closed all the tabs after about 2am last night. But there is a ton of info here on TMC. Here were a few I could locate quickly.
I started in the coil over threads, which then took me to the ride/ comfort threads, which then took me to the tire threads. I literally typed in a “Coil Over Model Y” and that kicked off the marathon. There are basically two main threads I found helpful:
Looking for softer ride
I talked to UPP this morning about their springs. I asked if they do installation and they said yes. But the rep told me that they are putting installation on hold due to some additional testing needed on the springs. I guess they are still streamlining the springs. So I will have to hold out a...

I basically used the search function, but then also paged through the Model Y: Driving Dynamics section.

Looks like their 7 seater mats aren't available yet but do love them in my 5 seater.
My wild ride is finally over. Ordered MYP 4/10, took delivery today. Some take-aways:
- car was flawless, zero issues; battery had about 80% charge on it when I arrived
- even though I'd watched every Tesla video numerous times, I was still overwhelmed by the car at first, but figured it out without asking for assistance
- driving in Hold mode (full regen braking) is the cat's meow, took me about half an hour of driving to become proficient at it
- the ride and comfort of MYP is better than my giant full-size Toyota SUV, so don't worry about your fillings coming loose as others have said
- super quiet at ~75 mph highway speed, zero wind noise
- it is a head-turner, I was gawked at around a dozen times on the way home, that I noticed (not many Teslas in my part of Houston so far)
- the PWS is dreadful, I disabled it following the instructions easily findable online with a $10 parts kit and 1000% recommend doing so
So long and thanks for all the fish.

Thanks! Interesting, the the MYP is a better ride than the Sequoia, thanks for the info. By chance, have you ever driven a 4Runner?

Hi Guys, I just picked the the MY yesterday 2 days ahead of my scheduled pickup date. Love the car, but unfortunately in getting caught up in the whole new car thing and first time with tesla, I forgot to get all the paperwork about the loan, trade in etc. Usually the dealers in the past I bought cars from gave you copies of everything. I see on my account I can no longer access that info. How do I get it again? does tesla mail everything to you at a later date, who do I contact if not? Thank you for al your help
LOL I do the same thing... I have no idea why I am keeping all these old drives and events.... but I do... Data hoarder I guess LOL
you should find most of it online in your account, click on your car and then you have a "glove box" with all the agreements you signed
