I am not sure about everyone else but when I think Performance Upgrade Package (PUP), I expected similar specs to what the Model 3 has with its PUP.
There are two key pieces missing that I think are important.
1. This is the biggest and most important for me (also the most costly in terms of parts). From the pictures I have seen and I believe backed up by the manual, the brakes on the Model Y are the same essentially on both Standard and PUP. Diameters are 14" up front and 13.2" in the rear, no difference in diameter. But the even bigger miss I see is, no Two-Piece rotors up front either. I have been looking at pics and videos online and from what I can tell, I don't see Two-Piece rotors.. if anyone has a PUP and can verify that would be great.. but from my eye, I don't see them. I would have expected something like 15" Two-Piece rotors on the PUP MY.
2. No Track Mode, now while I agree, the Model Y wasn't meant to be tracked, I can't help but feel like this was a bit of an oversite.. BMW sells X6 M's that can be tracked, why not a Model Y PUP? Again I don't plan on tracking my MY, but with its low center of gravity I can bet it would still do well, especially with those massive tires
I am also curious if someone could get the ground clearance on a MY PUP next to a Standard MY, measure at the same point, I am willing to bet its the same or just a couple mm difference.
I just feel like the PUP on the Model Y is turning into one of those situations where BMW just slaps on a M badge, puts on some bigger wheels and tires and calls it a day... I guess that's why their was no price increase on the MY PUP.. there really is very little cost increase over the standard version for Tesla as the parts/features aren't all that.
