Those 21" Uber wheels on the Model Y

[iamnid]

I've seen enough people post that they love the uberturbines... You could probably get them, replace them with something more reasonable and quickly turn around and sell the 21s to someone who didn't buy the performance. You might be able to switch with someone who got the 20s.

Ugh, changing wheel size doesn't necessarily change tire outer diameter, which is what matters for the speed measurement. The on-screen selection only changes the efficiency assumptions; the tires are all the same diameter.

However, if you do resort to a square setup, then it would need calibrated. Otherwise you would need to maintain the same ratio which wouldn't allow for the tires to be rotated.

I believe there is a setting where you can specify a different tire combination.

Owners of 21" wheels can easly trade them for smaller ones. The aftermarket also offere small diameter rims.

The tire problem of the S may not show up in the Y as it weighs over 1,000 lbs. less.

In support of the OP, it is usually a trade off in price, durability and range with the larger wheels to offset the great looks they provice.

For performance buyers the larger diameter wheels are often necessary to provide space for larger fitted brakes to clear.

Hey - we are looking to downsize. Easily trade? How do we go about doing that? Like post on ebay? Other easier options?
