I’m considering lighter wheels and coilovers. I’ll probably end up get both as time goes by but just wondering what people’s first choices have been as far as expensive stuff goes.

As much as I love the AB, the MPP coilovers make the car more comfortable to drive longer distances, plus the car looks better with the wheel gap gone, so it should be done before getting wheels.

Get the PPF first to protect, then quickly get Coilovers to improve ride quality & lessen the wheel well gap... then you can toss the other three into a hat and pick - cause the hard work is done.
The rest is icing on the cake.
Wheels are easy to swap, racks/hitch toys are amazing - and we all know you’ll eventually get the acceleration boost anyway

Started with a MYP..
First was PPF, then wheels, now I have coilovers on order... Shoulda done the coilovers first but I bought the car in the winter and the 21" tires were in no condition to drive in cold weather.

I would order the MPP coilovers now because it'll take a while for it to get to you. I would then get PPF, wheels and lastly the AB to tie it all together

I’m glad to see PPF is winning. I got 3 rock chips in 2k miles before I had XPEL Stealth installed. I can’t believe how easily the Tesla paint chips.
Are coilovers really worth it? I thought the Y rode like crap on the factory Goodyear’s. I swapped out a set of Michelin PS4S and find the ride to be fine now. Thoughts?

Yes, it looks like people really value their rides to be getting PPF first. Also, the longer you wait, the more the front end starts getting damaged, is probably why people put that at the very too.
acceleration boost kinda surprised me, not about the part that people crave more power (speed sells, period) just seems that more people are ok with the suspension or just not willing to part $3,000+ to change it than I thought.

Unfortunately I obtained 3 rock chips before my PPF install. They touched them up but I still know where they are. I wish I would’ve done it sooner, but we had to take a trip to Atlanta to get it done. The XPEL Stealth did help to hide the imperfections though. The Michelin’s made the ride quality livable for me. I can’t believe I took tires off with only 3k miles on them. I guess it is what it is though.
By the books yes. But Tesla has to prove that the suspension change caused whatever happened if you need to use your warranty. I'd say the chances of failure should be pretty low, especially if you go with reputable companies and installers.
I think it's bc acceleration boost is easy. Like...a few clicks of the finger easy and it's direct from Tesla. Far fewer people are willing to do mods that take some waiting and more research.
