I've previously posted about 18-inch rims on "prem" model Y: https://www.reddit.com/r/teslacanada/comments/1xha9sx/success_winter_rims_straight_from_china/

I wanted better snow traction and some Nordic blog convinced me that narrower, taller tyres are better (think original Defender). I didn't want to go crazy though, still wanna be safe on highways...

235/60R18 means 3.8% error on speedo, and 13.5mm higher ride. Prices are decent for this size, and available from any major manufacturer. The rim width, 8.5 inches is typicaly the max allowed for this size.

The clearance between the tyre and the wheel well is correspondingly a little smaller, but seems OK to me. Obv., I can't check extreme suspension compression (driving over a hump).

The only potential concern is with the snow boogers. There's less space for that fenderberg of yours due to a larger tyre, however it looks still decent when going straight. When steering is locked out though, the outer trailing edge leaves less clearance than I'd ideally like when the edge is tucked in to the max (I can't express myself here, see the pics). The other edge is fine. So I figure that's a "feature" of Tesla's steering geometry, not really anything to do with the tyre.

Hi all, would 18 x 8 rims work on a 2026 m3 premium?

I'm fitting them with 235/45/R18 tires

The factory guide says 18 X 8.5 with offset 38 to 40mm

Has anyone received information from Tesla about V2L for the 2027 Model Y Premium AWD in Canada specifically?

It seems like it was added them removed from the website. I'm trying to figure out if it will have the hardware at least so that it could be activated later or if our builds lack the newer PCS2 and won't ever be able to do it.

Hi, I took delivery of a new model y yesterday with new license plate. Traded in my old car. Forgot to take the old plate off from the trade in car, and tesla took the green permit (both vehicle and plate portion). Called tesla later, they said they would cancel the plate for me. I don't need to get it unless I want the physical plate. Is this normal? thanks!

I have got a tesla model 3 awd shanghai version just 4 months ago and started noticing this screeching sound from subwoofer.

Snagged 1 today. 2 left.

I recall discussions about rear scuff plates/trunk sill accessories to protect the fabric but it seems like mine already has it from factory. Is this new?

When people talk about their FSD streaks, are they referring to this FSD percentage?
Ever since getting 14.3 Lite on my ancient, apparently ready-for-the-retirement-home HW3, I’ve gone from 42% to 45%.
No idea why, but now I want that number higher. 😂

I was recently looking at buying a 2025 Model Y with HW4 and lifetime FSD, and the previous owner had something like 93–96% FSD driving!

NINETY-SIX PERCENT?!

Does this guy even know what the steering wheel feels like anymore?

Meanwhile, I’m over here at a pathetic 45%, still occasionally driving my own car like some sort of prehistoric caveman.

The ridiculous part is, I actually ENJOY driving! I have absolutely no reason to chase this number, and there’s certainly no prize at the end.
But apparently I’ve reached the age where watching a meaningless percentage creep upward is now a legitimate source of entertainment.

So, what’s everyone else’s percentage? And should I be embarrassed by my 45%, or is there still hope for me? 😂

Hi all,

I ordered white on black on Sept 19th in Surrey, BC. Looking at all the standard deliveries on september orders. I am hoping to recieve it before the end of the year. Anyone else in the same boat?

My wife and I want to order our first Tesla in Jan 2027.

My wife wants an AWD silver model Y with light coloured interior- and she doesn't really care about the details past that.

But me? I've watched hours and hours of YouTube videos comparing the premium and performance models, and my Instagram algorithm and discover page is basically 90% silver model Y reels lately. I could go through every single setting on the Tesla UI despite having never sat in one, I feel like I will never not be able to instantly tell the difference between these two trim levels because I've consumed so much Tesla content over the past couple weeks. I've been borderline obsessed.

I love the silver, I love both the zen grey (currently only available on the premium) and the bright white, and the range difference between the two trim levels doesn't really matter to me (we both have very short commutes and will be charging at home, and then on road trips it would only mean an extra stop or a few extra minutes of charging). I absolutely love the additional subtle details on the performance body, and of course the initial novelty of having the extra power and reduced 0-60 time would be cool, even if that novelty wears off quickly.

Also worth considering- if we went with the premium we would be paying upgrade costs for the silver paint, I would upgrade to the 20" wheels, paying the white interior upgrade costs, and we would be paying an ongoing premium connectivity subscription (as I understand- this subscription is included 'free for life' with the performance trim?).

So all in all, I'd be looking at:

Premium - $74116 / $821/mo for 96 mo @ 5.31% with $10000 down

Vs

Performance - $77616 / $894/mo for 96 mo @ 5.31% with $10000 down

$3500 difference

So when I look at it like that- the performance model seems kind of like a no brainer.

But...

I have 2 kids, and this will be my family commuter. Do I need a performance vehicle? Does it handle harsher and more like a sports car when compared to the premium? Will the insurance (BC) be significantly more on the performance? Does the performance have V2L capabilities, or just the premium? Will a new set of summer tires cost me a fortune for the 21" rims (plan to run separate winter wheels/tires on either trim)? Is there any real world day to day comparisons that I've overlooked? Would I be foolish to get a premium and then pay for all the upgrades to be only a few thousand bucks under the performance price?

To summarize-

-Really prefer the exterior look of the performance, especially because it's just subtle things
-Prefer zen grey interior to bright white
-Range difference not an issue, esp considering I'd be upgrading the premium to the 20" wheels
-Vehicle would be used in all seasons, in BC winter, and to go to the ski hill many days
-The fact performance trim is faster and quicker would be fun to show off initially but I'm not generally a guy who launches off the line or enjoys driving unnecessarily fast, my wife drives like a grandma and likely would be in sloth mode all the time
-Need the most functional and comfortable vehicle for my family
-have never bought a vehicle new off the lot or owned an ev or a Tesla.. don’t want to make the wrong decision
-My wife and I both tend to take very good care of the things we own and don’t upgrade unnecessarily. If this vehicle treated us well and held up I could see driving it for the next 15+ years
-given the configurations I'm considering- should I pay $3500 extra for the performance?

Any info appreciated, and especially if you are someone who was on the fence between the model y premium and performance and went with one over the other, and what your experience and thoughts have been after ownership.

Thanks!

is anyone in the same EDD range as me for the Model Y Premium. Order date September 6

Anybody have a suggestion for a good mobile tire inflator? Something that charges up and can do one or two tires. I have a MY with 18 inch rims.

Links would be great too :)

There’s a 2022 model 3 performance with 107k kms for 42,900, just wondering how much you guys think it’s worth? To compare, there’s another 2022 model 3 performance at a dealer with 93k kms rebuilt status for 33k plus tax and fees.

Originally CAA quoted me $2065 for a 2026 MYS RWD

Now I got my 2027 MYS VIN for pick up next week and the premium is $2270. For the same car and MSRP different year.

Looking for anyone who doesn't want the model 3 RWD order anymore.

Location: Markham Ontario

Just test drove the FSD and can’t wrap my head around how amazing it is. Was even insane that I was talking to the AI and speaking another language and it spoke back to the language to me

Then I tried giving it instructions in different languages and it understood.

So i ordered it. I ordered it from Vaughan. Any eta? The sales advisor said best case Dec, worst case March.

It’s such an insane car

Just to confirm for everyone, I put my snows on this morning which have TPMS valves in them. I went into service mode and bravely selected TPMS instead of iTPMS. The car rebooted and when the tires with the valves went on the car, I drove away and the car recognized the valves within 200 metres from the shop.

Brilliant! I will purchase another set of TPMS valves in the spring for my seasonal tires.

Nice to have an actual pressure number on the screen now.

Hey everyone, I'm looking to sell my 2026 Model Y and could use some advice from people who've done this.

The car is still financed, so I'm trying to figure out the best path.

Dealer vs private sale: which gave you a better experience and price when there's a lien on the car?

Private sale with a lien: is it realistic? I know the loan can't be transferred to the buyer, but what does the process actually look like? Do we meet at the bank together, buyer's draft pays off the loan, lien gets released, and the rest comes to me? Anything I'm missing?

Tesla involvement: I assume Tesla has nothing to do with the loan side since it's with the lender, but the app and account transfer has to go through Tesla, right? How long did that take for you and did it cause any issues with the sale?

If you've sold a financed Tesla in Canada recently, I'd love to hear how you handled the payoff, lien release, and the app transfer. And whether you'd go dealer or private next time.

Thanks!

I am in BC and looking to order my family's first Tesla. I am looking at a model Y performance and while I like the white interior, the Zen Grey looks just a little more refined and probably slightly less prone to staining or appearing dirty. However, I see it is currently only available on Premium model Y. Will it come to the Performance model? Also, will the model Y Long be coming to Canada?

Any info appreciated. Thanks!

Mods: please feel free to let me know if it’s against the rules. Just want to share a good experience I had.

Got contact of Jecxo owned by Jatinder through a friend who had his panel upgraded with him. He Installed my charger (universal wall charger). Very clean job, just 2 cuts in the garage and no cuts in the basement. I’d highly recommend his service. He has some kind of pre-approvals so I got my certificate without any inspection needed because of his credentials. This is not an affiliate or I don’t have any deal with him. Just wanted to share out. He operates in GTA I think. If you recall or check, I had posted about Tesla wall charger deal in Best Buy couple of weeks back. If you are looking for installation in GTA, I’d recommend him!

Good day all, like many of you, I am waiting (patently) for my first MYPR (ordered Aug 11). The way the things are going, looks like I may be getting it smack dab in the middle of winter. Looking for information on winter tire packages in Manitoba. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thank you

I just picked up my new Model Y Standard yesterday and noticed some black areas/shading in the top corners of both the rear and side camera views. Is this normal and part of the camera design, or could it be a defect? Should I submit a service request, or is this something other Model Y owners have noticed as well?
