    AP Racing / Essex road front BBK - first impressions

    That about sums it up. They have lived very easy lives...the calipers look nearly new and the pads have very little wear. They do indeed look really damn cool! ☺️

    AP Racing / Essex road front BBK - first impressions

    It didn't have anything to do with that at all. These were on my neighbor's car, but he knows very little about the details of these things. Hence, I'm selling them for him. 😋 He loved the brakes, but recently sold the Model 3 Performance they were installed on.

    Looking for insight with M3P driving characteristics

    Agree with the other posts above. You must have your M3 in chill mode. We have a Long Range Y and a Model 3 Performance. While the Y's acceleration is brisk, you should be instantly planted in your seat with the 3 Performance! I always liken the acceleration to a slingshot or instantly...

    New built car has 71 miles on odometer

    Also keep in mind that demo cars don't necessarily have to be demo drivers. My Y LR was a demo car, but it was a showroom demo. People poked, prodded, and sat in it for the few weeks it was in the showroom, but it only had 5 miles on the odometer. The stranger cooties were worth the nearly $6k...

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    Just installed my 19” Anthracite VS-5RS wrapped in Conti DWS6. They are gorgeous and I saved over 10 pounds per corner vs the OEM 20” Uberturbines and stock Pirellis! Fills out the wheel arches much, much better. I still have a nasty wheel gap, but I’m okay with that in the name of comfort. 😋...

    New built car has 71 miles on odometer

    The concerns over delivery mileage stems from ICE vehicle days. In most cases vehicle manufacturers had very specific parameters about how the car was driven in those early miles (don't go above 5,000 RPM for the first 750 miles, etc.). Those parameters were suggested to extract maximum...

    Great MYLR delivery experience in Columbus, OH!

    I figured I'd share since many people who have positive experiences don't ever share, while those who have negative experiences are sometimes more likely to vent. I picked my MYLR up in Columbus, OH a couple weeks ago and everything went very quickly and smoothly. I arrived a little before...

    Can I turn off driver's side AC but keep passenger side on?

    For anyone else with this or a similar issue...I found and ordered a vent block that works great: Vent Cover for Tesla Model 3/Y by Ludicrous Tesla on Tindie This was apparently designed and 3D printed by forum member icefree, and discussed in this thread here on the forum: Blocking or covering...

    New Tesla owner. Climate control question.

    I just went through something similar with my M3P. The AC was drying my contact lenses out horribly. I found and ordered a vent block that works great: Vent Cover for Tesla Model 3/Y by Ludicrous Tesla on Tindie This was apparently designed and 3D printed by forum member icefree, and...

    Matrix Headlights on LR Y?

    I agree. I unfortunately just don't have very much confidence in our US government allowing the full function of the matrix headlights anytime soon. I'm glad you're getting to enjoy yours in Denmark though. At least somebody gets to do so! :)
