The struggle is real. Changed my RWD Aug order with a VIN after the EDD was pushed to May/Junā¦ so figured may as well swapā¦ now the impatient wait continues.The RWD orders that went to TBD are starting to get dates, why are we still on TBDI think I have a problem when I keep checking my order every 30 mins or so lol

I dare say you aren't alone in your 'problem' on these forumsThe RWD orders that went to TBD are starting to get dates, why are we still on TBD
When was your EDD pushed? I had an EDD of Feb-May when I switched on day 1 of LR orders, I was an early Jan order originally.
I had a delivery window of end of Aprl-mid May and final invoice. Then on around 8 April it changed to end of May mid Jun. Thats when I switched to LR (before the 10 April ācut offā).
That's interesting, considering they were still 'assuring' people with Feb-May orders that they would deliver on time, hah! Not optimistic about the LR delivery of May-June now

I agree, July/August is more realistic now which makes me question my change from MYRWD.That's interesting, considering they were still 'assuring' people with Feb-May orders that they would deliver on time, hah! Not optimistic about the LR delivery of May-June now

How much do 19 inch Gemini Wheels and Tyres improve the Energy Efficiency of the Model Y Performance?
The only way to correctly test energy efficiency is by having two similar cars driven on the same roads at the same time over a reasonable long distance. This test was conducted using two almost identical 2023 White Model Y Performance vehicles built in the Shanghai factory within days of each...

Thanks for that. For a start the test you included was with MYP not MYLR. The tyres were 19" Gemini wheels against the 21" Uberturbines, not the 20" Induction wheels. The 20" Inductions come with Michelin tyres not the very 'sticky' Pirelli's. I saw a British Youtube video comparing the 19" Gemini's with the 20" Induction wheels and the range difference was marginal.for those ordering a mY LR that value efficiency think carefully when choosing the wheels-

The 20 inch Michelin tyres will be more energy efficient than the Pirelli 21s but the side profile of the wheels play a factor, based on the results from the 2 Performance cars I would say the Gemini 19s will outperform the 20s on the LR by 6-8% at highway speeds, around town that doesnāt matter, on long trips away from the reliable Superchargers its significant.

Don't remember the British video I watched but the difference was less than 6-8% from memory. More like 3-4%. But, I've ordered the Inductions on our LR because they look so smart.
90% of my driving is relatively short range so it's not an issue and that sort of range difference on occasional trips is of little concern.

A question? What is the difference between 'side profiles' on each of the tyres? I'm certainly not doubting their test results but I can't get my head around what the difference is.

More tyre side surface and less turbulent wheel surface, the Uberturbines and the wheel face on the 20 inch Induction wheels stand out.
Yeh itās killing my soul a little. Still the same TBD showing on my account. And Tesla reps not being able to provide any further insight either.More VINS being allocated, still no LRThis is crazy, why don't they have some already made or in production.
At this rate I really don't think the car will be coming in May or June.
And everyday the value on my Unicorn SR+ drops
I think just having a date would be better than no date. Iām still clinging to the website saying May-Jun with my expectation more like Jun-July but secretly, and unrealistically, hoping that they jump straight to allocating VINs for late May deliveryā¦.

Funny, I've wondered about that too. My friend didn't get a delivery estimation nor a VIN for her RWD until 4 days before she picked it up.

Not always. The dates I got along the way were a complete joke until about 3 weeks before delivery.
At least "TBD" is honest.
Hopefully we'll see some movement in the next few weeks with VINs releasing, they may be getting more RWD out the door before starting on the LR as there are still orders from last year without VINs, for them would be annoying waiting so long and then LR releases and people start receiving them 6-8 weeks later.. Just a thought I had.
