Nothing to learn here. I'm on to new adventures about my Y. Enjoy.

Do you think Tesla is limiting the MYP's launch performance to not compete with the M3P

Thanks, you as well. I plan to enjoy mine as well until there are better options, either from Tesla or someone else.
I did the exact same setup on my MYP and agree with pretty much all of your comments. It definitely feels lighter, but not as firmly planted to me which isn't surprising given the tire change. I did some baseline runs on the previous setup and will try to get some in on the new setup with the Dragy but the weather is cooling down quickly here so not sure of traction would be the same at this point.
Actually it's the other way around Tesla has given the Model Y at least an additional 25 horsepower to close the gap with the Model 3 Performance. Dyno testing shows this. And when you get the numbers from apps like scan my Tesla it looks like you're getting at least 16 kilowatts more which works out to approximately 24-25 horsepower. When you do the power to weight calculation, with the Model Y 400 pounds heavier, its power to weight ratio is just slightly worse than the Model 3 Performance. A lot of folks in Model 3 land wish that we could get the model Y enhancements to push our 0-60 down to three seconds.

Watching this video BMW i4 M50 v Tesla Model 3 Performance: DRAG RACE,
a M3P with little bit more power would be great, especially to cover the gap between the MP3 and the MS Plaid.

The specs online I found on the i4 M50 says its 0 to 60 in 3.7 and 12.1 second quarter mile. Model 3 has better numbers than that.
Unless the ricer body kit on the Model 3 made it slower or the BMW is under rated, I would think the Model 3 should be at least a car length.

Now that the BMW i4 M50 has officially been revealed, we take a look at how it compares to the Tesla Model 3 Performance.
BMW usually underrates their cars.

That Model 3 had either a low state of charge or something else wrong with it. Without any modifications, M3P will run 11.5-11.7 1/4 mi times like clockwork, typically within a tenth of its best time all day (if you can keep SOC up). Check draggy results.

The Real Race so to speak that we don't talk about much on this forum is the 0 to $5,000 out-of-pocket race. The BMW wins that hands down most of the time, particularly if you charge your Tesla off your solar system. You basically have almost no maintenance and minimal "fuel"costs. Once you get past the BMW's complimentary maintenance period you are going to get hosed to the tune of several thousand dollars a year to maintain the car and that's before you put any fossil fuel in it. And that's assuming your BMW isn't vulnerable to the usual BMW engine Gremlins which are legendary as any BMW owner with any experience will confess.
