Says not equipped for towing. There is a reference to trailer hitch though

Thanks for this! I was getting a bit concerned because there's no details about the forthcoming third row option, but then I saw this .... faith restored!

Heat pump confirmed on page 131:

"Model Y uses a heat pump to maximize efficiency; therefore, your air conditioning compressor and external fan may run and make noise even when the outside temperature is cold and your vehicle is heating or supercharging."

Still has a 12V battery, page 193.

Yup, was about to make that comment

Some things of interest for me:
-6.6 inches of ground clearance
-Power fold buttons
-Fast wireless charging
-USB C & A under phone dock

Page 191 front brake rotors diameter of 14 inches on both P/non-P models, same size as M3P.

This is very good for efficiency/cold weather, no? Might it also explain why the range loss compared to M3 is not that high?

Reading some more, the GVWR - Curb Weight is indeed very small, only 400kg. That's 5 large adults without any luggage…

Glad to see that the 21" tire size has a Michelin P4S option. My X3 M40i has nearly the same size, but the fronts are 255/40/21 which is impossible to find.
