If you do think you need it I would wait at least a month. Get a good feel for the base performance of the LR MY. Then if you buy the AB you’ll have a better base of comparison. Doing it too quick after purchase you’ll never really appreciate what it adds.
Confirmed that ONLY the P comes with the 82KW battery...we are unable to confirm if new LR have it.
I would take this one step further. You maximize your range by using Chill vs Standard Mode acceleration. You may find that for certain traffic conditions Chill Mode is all you need and you can switch into Standard Mode when you need it.
Hey Quorky,so here is what I did as soon as I got the car:
I switched the tires from stock to Michelin All Seasons:
Front stock 255/35/21 to 265/40/21
Rear stock 275/35/21 to 285/40/21
Here is the thread documenting everything:
Suspension Clearances for Wider / Taller tires
Hi All, Trying to figure out the clearances to avoid rubbing. Have the performance and wanted to add a little more cushion (wider, taller tire). I cant find the clearance data on the suspension components. Would love to hear if anybody thinks the following setup will rub. Uberturbines: Front...teslamotorsclub.com
I had tiny, tiny, tiny rub on the liner when turning the wheel, but after 1000 miles that is now gone. I would absolutely do it again and I think the diff in speedometer error is 4%, so marginally nothing. It gives me enough sidewall for the nasty NYC streets and have not had a dent /scrape / chip as of yet. In my opinion, there should have been the tires that Model Y P came with from the get go. I think from the brief tests I have done the efficiency was the same or even better than the stock tires.
I guess it all really depends on just how fast you really want to go. For me, as of now, the 4.8 is fast enough, If I feel the need, I can do the performance boost down to 4.2 and that is fast enough.
If this is going to be your first Tesla, you're in for a pleasant surprise. The car is lightning fast even at 4.8. It pushes you back into your seat and a smile develops on your face. Quite honestly, unless you don't mind spending ten grand for a 1.3 second boost, save your money, spend 2 grand for the 4.2 boost and call it a day and use that extra money for accessories which you will no doubt want to buy

Audi A7 here is where I’m coming from. I had a model 3 performance on order but just cancelled it because it’s just too small compared to my A7. So replaced the order with the model y but still tossing back and forth. I think I’ll just get the LR with power boost and the induction wheels. Lease it for 2 years and move up to the plaid when that guy has been in production. I would rather save the 8k and put that in stocks or something and see a return or for vacations where the fun would be longer lasting than the .5 seconds. Thanks to one of the other users here it put some things in perspective. Ride comfort is more important to me than speed
4.8 on the LR is clocked at a stand still, from a 60’ roll it’s 4.4, from what I gather reading up on it, with acceleration boosts 4.2 from a stand still, 3.9 from a 1’ roll….
