    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    PS I was so on the fence about getting this car or a Plaid S. I now have a Plaid S again in the garage and it’s such a reminder that the car is zero fun. It’s a comfortable one trick pony. That trick is you put your foot down and get fuzzy brain and go to jail speeds before you even begin to...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Track mode hurts at a drag strip. Reason being it kills the nav. You want the nav because you want to be navigating to the nearest supercharger. Hopefully it’s close enough to the track that the car starts preconditioning the battery so you get that sweet sweet full power. And yes of course take...

    Unfortunately I can’t seem to find that person on Dragy to see if it’s a verified run or not. That said, I do think this is possible.

    IMHO the market, and TSLA, is still in a bubble. I sold most of my TSLA for far more than it's worth now. If it ends up going to $1000+ a share I'll be surprised but also happy as I'll likely always hold some of this rollercoaster. I certainly wont be sad over any potential missed gains. Having...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Really I should just order one now to see how fast I can put it down the strip, in the name of science! I have no idea if I'll qualify for the tax credit or not this year but I can't bring myself to order that stealth grey. My requirements are white interior and anything but SG. Alas, I sit on...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Enjoy! Pretty sure it's a stock tire/wheel/weight record. Standard P, not stealth. I was at about 97% SoC and preconditioned for a Supercharger. I've taken many cars to the drag strip and my skinny ass is always able to extract the most performance, from rowing gears to EV accelerator mash. 😆

    I filled in some data from my 21 full stock run at Cecil County drag strip. This was a very strong [record?] run. Old P3D 2024 P3D 2021 MSLR 0-60 (no rollout) 2.99 1/8 mi 7.25 7.06 1000ft 9.45 9.2 1/4 mi [email protected] 11.03 60-130 9.74 0-130 12.73

    No. M7 and not a stock suspension. I think we're not going to come to an agreement here and that's ok.

    Of course it turns well. I should have been more specific. What I meant to say is pleasure in going down a twisty road. My C7Z07 with Z07 package turned out far higher Gs than my little JCW mini did, but the Mini was so much more rewarding.

    FWIW I went from a 2018 with AB to a 21 P3. The AB feels faster but is obviously not. The P3, as well all know, is a beast off the line and then dies. The AB is slower off the line but continues a still hard pull up to ~100. We all get used to acceleration. This is why everyone wants something...

    I was there a couple days ago for Cybertruck service. They are great! They also said selling to NH is in the plans but not sure on timing. As much as I love NJ, this is great news. 😂

    For comparisons this is my best quarter mile time in my full stock 2021 P3 and to my knowledge it’s the record for full stock including stock wheels.

    Further research indicates there may have been a child seat in the car and we all know how heavy those things can be. 😅 These times are truly worst case scenario which is awesome.

    Found it on Dragy. So basically this is the worst conditions other than snow. 😂 Seems fair to say it should run 10.9 and high 123 or 124 in the quarter. Not bad at all.

    ‘25 Taycan

    Thank you. If the Roadster even comes out I’d be highly disappointed if it can actually get 600 miles. Give me 800v charging with a fat curve and 300 miles of range.

    Just kill it off already

    FWIW hybrid 911 unveiling is on the 28th. I went to a Porsche dealer yesterday to tell them about it and get sales contact info. Taycan is alright but still hard to pay 2-3x a Plaid for a slower car. We’re really happy with our Cybertruck. Maybe we’ll throw a hybrid 911 turbo next to it. Damn it...

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    just want to jump in here. This is obviously a Tesla issue and absolutely positively not a Michelin issue. And, this kind of stuff is why I still haven’t purchased a Plaid S. WtF Tesla?!?

    Can we please keep the "the mainstream media lies!" BS off the thread. History has not been kind to the fools who attempt to discredit the news. And let's definitely not get into the irony concerning the credibility of many [most?] posts on X.

    3.5MM shares in the first minute. Is that normal? 😆 I closed all my calls for the week and averaged out a slight profit. I trust call walls until we get a huge dump like we just did. I'm guessing we weren't the only ones repositioning. Now either I was wrong and it continues to go down which...

    I was under the impression volume is somewhat live but open interest doesn’t update until the following day. [they can’t make it too easy for us. 😆] That might explain the disparity you’re seeing. I’m sleeping comfortably tonight with my selling of 200c on all my shares for the week. Sold...

The benefits of selling it now is I get more for it [at the same share price] and can close for profit if we...

    Is the Model S worth it over the Highland M3?

    I expected that everyone who downvoted this has driven extensively a Model S Plaid, a Cybertruck, and a Performance Model 3. Otherwise, unlike myself, your options are based on emotions and not reality.

    Is the Model S worth it over the Highland M3?

    I wouldn’t take the Plaid Model S over the previous Performance Model 3, much less the new one. Rent a Plaid for a week, as I did, and drive the balls off it. Fast, sure, but drives like a giant boat. My Cybertruck literally feels more nimble and playful than a Model S. Also, I stand by my...
