I had the MYLR on order for a month, once I realized the $ difference was only $3k between P & LR (I had the $2k option for Turbine wheels) ...and... I would be getting the Matrix headlights, P motor a spoiler and the rest I upgraded my order to a P. Sure the tires will be more expensive to change out but I have to admit whenever I see either model on the road the one with the little red line under the logo and those red calipers peeking out teases me - I will have no regrets. To boot my delivery date got accelerated in the process. I bought the wife a pair of sunglasses for that first pedal smash, should be here any day now. P.S. I think my Chevy Volt is over 9s to 60, maybe I should order me some sunglasses too.

Model Y Range LR Vs Performance

At the minimal price differential now between P and LR, Tesla has baited everyone to go for the P. Honestly if it was that close when I bought my LR, it would have been a no-brainer. At the same time though, wanted 7 seats so it would have been a hard choice. I use the extra seats far more than I would have the extra off the line punch of the P.
If you are upgrading to the 20's and plan on acceleration boost, the P is really the way to go instead. Dump the 21's, put on better wheels (lighter) and as long as you are fine with the suspension, it is a win-win.

100% agreed. Including the wheels.
If I do purchase the MYP they are coming off immediately. Even with the Michelin Pilot A/S4's. My car with the 20" inductions is already stiff enough, so stiff that I literally hit a bump and it knocked the coffee out my mug all over my shirt & pants. And that's before you consider the more expensive 21" tires, the additional loss of range and of course the performance penalty of driving around with 40lb wheels at each corner.
I would hope you could sell the 21" Ultraturbines + A/S4's for a price that would be close to the Tsportline 20" TS5 + A/S4's in the 275 width. Would still expect to take at least a $1000 loss on the wheel swap, but it will be surely worth it in the long run.. for the better performance & meatier tire setup. MYP should be quite a bit quicker too.. I'm guessing 0-60 would drop to about 3.2-3.3 seconds considering these wheels are 10-12lbs lighter than the factory 21" Ultraturbines.

If you dont care about CVRP rebate and can afford 63k, get the P, drop another 5K on coilovers, and maybe another 2k on 20" lighter rims and tires etc...putting you into 70k territory.

We had a MYLR and just swapped over to the P. Coming from performance cars, the P suits us much better. It's not only a crap ton faster, but handles much better due to the slightly lower rode height and meatier tires. The brakes feel the same on both. For the price difference now, it's really worth it.
I have the exact same sentiment. awaiting delivery of a MYLR, but if it weren't for the price difference (mine locked in at 54k), the MYP would be a no brainer. I'm actually considering selling the MYLR to carmax or vroom after I claim our state tax credit, if prices are still high, just so I can turn around and get a MYP. I've seen posts on here where ppl are seeling their MYLR to carmax for 65k. insane!

Make sure you dont have to keep car a certain amount or have to payback the credit/rebate/etc prorata( cali cvrp is 3 yrs)
That’s a really good point. Not sure that I qualify for Cvrp, but I though I just had to hold onto the car for 30 days, didn’t realize that it would be prorated… I will have to dig into this more. Thanks for the heads up!
I glad you managed to highlight:
1 3 cars
2 you have 200K Porsche
3 lagre Mercedes
4 Nanny.
Insecure much ?
