Tesla Model Y

I wouldn't say all of them look cheap. I think some of the induction look-alikes can look a bit cheap and plasticy. I went with the ones below which mirror the shape of the alloy underneath. There is less plastic and they look more like an alloy. Black wheels for a fraction of the cost of getting them sprayed and they also give protection from kerbing.

In a word, No.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against buying them, just that particular one was a bit expensive and not symmetrical. Here's mine sure,...

I also think they are way better than the stock ones. A small bit of kerb rash on one or two, but the alloys are perfect.

A few things I bought:

Air Compressor:

Vent blocking covers a must if you have kids.

Tyre kit/ plugs,

Waterproof Mats, I powerwash these. Be sure to get the RHD ones.

Hub Caps, similar to mine. If you want the T logo's then ask in the message section while ordering.

I made that move. All opinions are subjective but I have no regrets. Additional storage space and roominess inside is immediate thing that is noticeable along with elevated driving position, Ride is certainly firm ..even with the comfort modifications on newer cars but I do not find it sluggish in comparison but maybe you value the "performance" elements but having said that there is little difference 6.1 vs 6.9 secs for 0-100KM. Not much more to say!

Haven't had an EV before the MY LR, but we coughed up the extra 8 because we were prepared to spend that much on the RWD back in October, so in Jan we didn't feel like we were paying 'extra', just getting 'more' for the same money. I appreciate it feels different for someone ordering now.

Everyone's use case is different, but I've got a regular weekend trip that's minimum 320km and sometimes can be up to 400km. I'm nearly always under pressure for time on that trip and not having to stop and charge makes the trip more bearable. Eg. on Saturday we left the house at 10:30 with 98%, got back home at 8:01 with 2%, only missed a couple of minutes of the rugby match. No chance to destination charge anywhere. A splash and dash on the way back would have taken min 20 minutes including detour time. In an RWD, I'd have had the 'hassle' of planning a stop somewhere.

Over the summer, the LR allowed us to skip 2 broken/inaccessible chargers and do a 390km leg in one go and made the last ferry with 15 mins to spare. I don't think we'd have made the ferry with an RWD, or we'd have had to get up an hour earlier and drive at 80kmh on that section or something. Not having that 'stress' is costing us under 1k a year, actually a little less since we avoid public (Ionity) charging costs. So for us, and our use case, it's well worth it.

Over the summer, 20C, dry road, little wind I was getting exactly 4km per kWh at 121 on the speedo.

So I would say that 400km motorway is not doable, definitely not all year round so you're better off in the RWD. In Ireland we can do 400km with half 120/half 100.

Out foreign, where summer temps were a bit higher, we could get 430km in half/half.

Have a 3 RWD, took the Y RWD and the Y LR for test drives.

Night and day between the RWD and the LR Y for acceleration. The LR Y felt like my 3 RWD while the RWD Y felt very sluggish.

Enjoy the car browsing and test drives!

The price difference is now €10,500 for the facelift M3 RWD-LR. The facelift M3 is limited to 201km/h because of the tyres, according to Tesla. I suspect they are limiting the top speed to make the incoming Performance model appear significantly faster than the LR. It's also rumoured there will be upgraded electric motors in the M3P. The LR had more pull at the top-end due to smaller wheels. Even with Acceleration boost from standstill there wasn't that much of a difference. The M3P is better for tracking due to better brakes but I doubt many track their M3P regularly.

The last 2 nights when I've come home the lights haven't gone off when I've walked away.

The car locks, mirrors fold in, but lights stay on. Have I ticked/unticked some setting by accident?
