The new Tesla Model Y Performance

[Torrid]

It's here. It basically matches the numbers of the previous Performance with a few upgrades in relation to the redesign and the changes the Model 3 Performance saw. I don't think I'm even remotely interested already having a 2024, but if I didn't have it I'd at least entertain the idea once it hit the US.

I like the wheels. I'm OK with the wheels on our M3P.
The American cars will probably be faster.

I'm thinking of sourcing the wheels for mine. I really don't care for directional wheels. This seems like a massive improvement.

Are the earlier Model Y Performance wheels directional? I never looked that closely at mine. I’ve got 35,000 miles on the OE tire and will probably get another 5-10,000 out of them. I’ll have to look at the wheels though.

21" Wheels and tires are standard, that's going to be an expensive replacement every few years. I'm still curious has to how the new wrap around headlights were deemed legal in Europe. One of the dings against the Cybertruck was that EU regulations require separate left and right light sources. A few of the ev specific publications are even starting to have difficulty with the minor upgrades that Tesla is pushing. Nothing new or exciting.

A set of Volk Racing TE-37 would look great and shave several pounds off each rim. They're made in a 25 ton forge.

I've had that thought previously. There's very few vehicles that don't look amazing on TE-37s. I'd do either gold or bronze with the red.

Its way better performing t ban the 2024MYP, and has much better seats and suspension.

It's not worth the change at this time and while I'm curious about the suspension change and I do like the seats, I don't like how soft our Y Long Range rides. It's too soft and has more body roll. Hopefully they dialed the Performance in better.

You can install the Juniper/Refresh struts and shocks on the prior version Model Y. There's lots of videos popping up on the tubes of you about that. Parts are about $800. It is said to make for a much better ride.

You could have saved me $71K. Oops. What's a poor boy to do?

I have a new Y too. I honestly prefer the stiffer ride of the 2024 Performance. It would also lift the vehicle.
