Model Y wheel options

It seems crazy that you can’t choose the 20s or the 21s with the performance option. I like everything except the 21s

I heard the ride comfort and noise isn't as bad as you think on the 21s. They look sweet but I agree its overkill for sure. The problem would be eating through tires every year and paying a pretty penny for replacement. You cannot rotate staggard.

Me personally im coming from BMW with low profile 20s, so I probably wont notice a difference.
 
That looks great! Is that on the performance Y? Looks like it’s a little taller than the last pic. Maybe it’s a LR. Trying to get ideas for the future. Both wheel set-ups looks clean.

LR.

A defining characteristic of a Performance Y is the bigger brake in back in red with Tesla logo. It's a totally different caliper than the LR rear caliper.

Will you guys be re-producing the 21’’ Überturbine rims of the Y in a 19'' variant like you did with Model S Arachnid rims which you have available for S, X, 3 and now Y?!


That'd be a big seller considering it was originally going to be for Model 3


That rim in 19'' = me buying

Improved Design.
Lighter Weight.
Load Rated for all S 3 X Y.
...stay tuned
 
An 18 or 19 inch wheel will ride a lot nicer than 20s. The tires will also be more affordable when it's time to replace them.

I wish Tesla had better taste in wheel design. I'd like a set of lightweight 18 or 19 inch wheels to be offered on the MYP with a traditional 5-spoke or 6-spoke design.
 
Any pics of TSS wheels in matte black on a MY?

You really get the depth of the Deep Blue Metallic paint out with Ceramic Pro coating.

That looks pretty sharp, I asked about the difference due to the ride height being different between the PUP and LR/Stealth Performance. I might be one of the few that likes the higher height

LR is a tad bit higher than PUP. Very proportional to Model 3 LR vs Model 3 Performance.

So, the inevitable has occurred. Model Y with the 21inch uberturbine wheels.I nailed the right rear. curb rash. There just isnt any sidewall to these tires. They are named P ) for a reason. Any thoughts on how to cosmetically repair , its a good 5-6 inches all on the very edge of the rim.

Thoughts? Thank You
