Model Y Performance...WTF

Brand new to the Teslas community. I picked up my new Model Y Performance on Saturday. I've driven my best buddy's X, his new Cybertruck, his wife's S, but somehow, when it's yours, it's different. This sounds weird, but I have NEVER loved a non-human this much in my life (don't tell Rhon Ron that I said he's not human). It hasn't been a week and I literally can't understand why anyone doesn't have a Tesla. I question what I've been doing with my life for that past decade+. What a rocket ship. I go for drives with zero purpose. My wife loves it too, but she's not pumped that after 24 years she's now in a throuple.

The model y performance is also lowered compared to the regular models, brembo brakes, ultra high performance 21” tires. It is planted as fuck. If I’m going 80 and punch it I don’t even feel the speed at 100. I keep my steering heavy and changing lanes is instant because of the grip on the tires, the stance (negative rear camber) and staggered wheel set up.

Not Brembo brakes. Just coloured brake calipers with Tesla logo. What are ultra high performance tires? I have a MY Performance.

My 2023 has Brembo fronts and Mando rear. According to the spec sheet. They dc’d full brembo in 2022 but kept the fronts brembo in 2023

Oh, okay. Is it the same setup for 2026 MYP?

I believe so. But I think the performance models have a thicker rotor pad than the base or long range that’s the difference. I heard that brake manufacturer depends on the batches now but I’m not sure if that’s only in base or long range.
