Didn't see this video tagged yet. Ignore the title, it's NOT a performance model. He keeps referring to "standard performance" or "plus" whatever the f that means. It's an LR AWD with the Gemini wheels.

Has anyone taken delivery with 19" Gemini wheels?

Incorrect. It is a performance model. It's the performance model without the performance upgrade package (PUP). He posted a follow up video following this one confirming that and clearing up his terminology.

I thought even stealth performance models had the red underline in the badging. Is that not correct? (I don't have a P)
The software should have the Red Line under the Dual Motor on the screen for sure, but seems the exterior doesn't (or at least doesn't on this guys car) have the red line.
He's confirmed the Red Line in the software so he got the performance model. He also called Tesla corporate and they confirmed.
It arrived this afternoon. Not great lighting, but here's a pic with the Gemini covers on. I think I like them and will leave them on for now.
The Model Y is absolutely amazing so far. Also, it looks much bigger in person than it does in pictures.
They dropped it off in my driveway, so I did not see any other Model Ys
I was planning on ordering MSM but I really don't like the Gemini wheels with or w/o the aero covers. I think the bright silver looks strange with the blacked out trim on MY. I was looking at the pre-production aero covers which were blacked out and they look much better.
I ordered the 19" wheels on my M3 because i didn't like the aero covers but was trying avoid having to pay the $2k for induction wheels and I'd like to keep the 19" wheels for doing outdoors activities (I'm trying to avoid calling it off-roading haha)
Short answer is no. They induction wheels and Gemini wheels are virtually identical in ride height. Only real difference is between performance upgraded Uberturbines and the rest.
Refer to the post here for more info :
LR AWD vs. P suspension height
I've heard this as well, but looking on tirerack.com, there seem to be more 20" options with the required xl load range. I'm disappointed that Michelin doesn't make an all season the 19's that fit the MY.
I just checked...when looking at all-season tires, the only ones that work for me, there are 10 tires in 19” and 5 in 20”.
