Simply reading the post in question makes me think that 7th grade was probably the best four years of that idiot's life.

As an aside, if the Juniper MYP is announced and available for order in the next few days it opens the door for EV credits for post 9/30 delivery provided the IRS guidance is met re order and deposit etc.

Nice. I like it with those wheels and I like the spoiler. My question as a current MYP owner is ride quality on those 21" wheels. I think the Juniper exterior is a nice update, and looks even better in this Performance trim.

I haven't experienced the 21" wheels, but on the Model 3 Performance I test drove last summer the 20" Warp wheels were very smooth, even on rough roads

It doesn't have frequency selective dampers anymore, it uses variable electronic damping. So who knows until someone does a comparison. I reckon it will be worse off compared to the normal Model Y.

But it rides on Pirelli P-Zero 255/35/R21

First test drive of the performance. Don’t really like the screen. Looks too big for the space.
