I have 20” T Sportline wheels and Hankook tires coming tomorrow. This is a square efficiency setup I am going to run for daily driving if I sell the 18s with my old car when the new one comes.

Yup and his videos are the absolute best, esp when it comes to production value; this comes at the expense of the number of videos he produces, though, so it becomes more quality over quantity. Throttle House is my second favorite, and they strike the best balance of quality with quantity.

Canadian orders are showing July. However today the service advisor told me they are expected in December. (In Canada)
I’m hoping he’s misinformed, or guessing. …

I'd be surprised if it's December before any deliver for you guys. You get your vehicles from Giga Shanghai, and I remember seeing a story of a flyover showing a bunch of Model 3 Performances being loaded near a dock or something. So that must mean they've started producing and exporting them.
But, as with everything Tesla, timelines are VERY fluid.
Why are you planning on going with 20” instead of the 18’s you have been running? Is this purely for looks and do you expect there would be a noticeable difference in range between 20” and 18” of the same wheel design and same tires.
I know you did a lot of testing with range between different sets of wheels.
That'd be horrible..makes me feel guilty about whining over a potential june delivery

Because the US has a hefty tariff for Chinese cars while Canada has a relatively small one.
I am not sure which set I am going with yet. I have both to test. The 20s are ultra efficient while also being my ideal design for looks.
The 20” wheels weigh over 24 lbs but the 18” tires weigh 24 lbs too. The 18” wheels weigh 22 lbs but the 20” tires are really light at 22 lbs. Both sets should have similar weight when combined.
I am getting literally stupid efficiency with the 18” Hankooks right now. There is a possibility that the 20” wheels could be even better.

It’s more profitable for them overall to sell US made cars in the US.
Maybe this will change in the near future given their constantly increasing inventory these days, but right now Tesla seems to be dealing with other problems
It seems to be the same brakes as the original M3P.

Even 19s cleared the M3P brakes. It's 18s that are dependent on the design.
Tesla just told me that the trade-in HAS to happen on the day of delivery. That means if the car is delivered June 2nd(example), most of our trade-in offers just expired end of May and now we have a new trade in offer possibly thousands less than original
my 2020 M3P 36k miles was quoted at 25.1k for a trade in . a few days later Tesla asked for some pictures and then re-adjusted it to 20k. what a joke.
They quoted me $23k for a 2022 Model 3 Performance with 26k miles. That was a hard pass.
