If that's the case, I'm tempted to update my order for the 20" wheels...still under $70

Perhaps worth asking the question if you can cop the reduced range. The risk is it’d yeet you to the back of the line. I still reckon we’re almost all on a winner with the next ship though.

What sort of range hit do you get with the 20"?

I was watching a video last night that stated the hit when going from 18's to 19's was about 24km of range.

Also as some added info, I got a quote for replacing the standard tires for the 19" rims on the LR and was told between $366 to $500 per corner. Them 20's will hit hard at tire time.

20-25 KMs I believe - not a lot but a bit

 

[Sturty]

No one else had any joy today? Disappointing.
I really wish I knew the intricacies of how the system worked. Anyway

Tomorrow is a new day

No updates here

 

[V3nom]

Yeah, nothing here either :-(

Salvia Ace arrived in the middle of the night and should be loading now. Fingers crossed

Hope your car is on it sturty

Thanks for the update … fingers crossed

Another day passes, no update

I need to stress I COULD be wrong here, but with legacy81’s update yesterday I don’t see how it can be anything else.

Hopefully updates soon, everyone. In theory it’ll be finished loading now and be on the way to Japan, but that’s TBC.

 

[V3nom]

We can only hope iv been watching the app very closely and will update as soon as I know anything.

Going by when I got my updated edd and hidden vin, it was on the 12th April, 2 days after the boat docked in japan

As usual mate you’ve been very helpful - that’s a great insight. Thanks mate! Nearly time for yours eh?

I think the crew are on the gold coast sunbaking, it docked 21/4 and not leaving till tomorrow

If its any consolation the Salvia Ace looks like it's just sitting off the Shanghai port not loading, the date will blow out quite badly if I'm right - it was already two days behind schedule

What sort of range hit do you get with the 20"?

By accident I found this thread, I'll quote it for you and send you the link.


In the Model Y EPA Application, Tesla listed the dynamometer set coefficients for the three wheel and tire combinations available for the 2020 Model Y Performance. These coefficients are used to set the dyno for the EPA testing. They tell the dyno how much force to use to mimic the aerodynamic drag on the vehicle because it is stationary during the test. The coefficients are on page 20 of this document: Basic Search | Document Index System | US EPA.

I plotted just the road load force in this thread, but the below graph shows the percent difference in efficiency or range when comparing the three options.

It is important to note that this data is only applicable for constant speed driving, such as on the highway. When accelerating and decelerating, heavier wheel and tire combinations will use more energy that is not included here. That means that if city driving efficiency were added to this highway driving efficiency data, the disparity between the options would be a little larger.

Also, using different tires will affect these results.

To summarize, at a constant 75 mph [121 kph]:

• Range with 21's will be 7% less than with the 20's
• Range with 20's will be 7% less than with the 19's
• Range with 21's will be 14% less than with the 19's

Ordered M3LR white / white on 23rd March.

Got matched on Tuesday with a 20 May - 10 June EDD, however since changed to black interior to get the WA EV rebate.

Date disappeared, now back to Mar-Apr ETA on the app.

I see there's a bunch of M3LRs now showing in inventory now too.

I can’t work out why the white white has an earlier date, my logic is only that it’s right at the start of the production queue for the next vessel, being the Salvia Ace which appears to be delayed in port

A lot of this is assumption and guesswork though.

 

[V3nom]

I reckon my car has gotten lost somewhere along the line haha I'm still showing an EDD of March - April. I know it's not gonna be April but I was hoping for some movement, even an April - June or something.
