    2022 Tesla Model 3 Air Suspension for offroad and highway efficiency

    KW V3 leveling coilovers will give you a range of height adjustments from almost +1/2” to -7/8” I think from memory. So you could use MPP lift kit plus coilovers although not sure the rear spring spacer would be compatible but that’s an easy adjustment I guess.

    Panoramic Roof & Ride Quality

    Yep, steel roof would be better but have to say just got our second M3LR and I was blown away by how hot it is compared to our first which I had tinted with Ultragard Genesis 25. I’d forgotten how effective it was. We also had the windows done in Genesis 40 and that helps tremendously as well...

    Any recommendations for a good coilover installer on the Gold Coast Qld

    Hey Gold Coast locals. Contemplating having the suspension on my Model 3 upgraded with coilovers. Can anyone recommend an experienced reliable installer in the Gold Coast QLD area? And what would be a reasonable charge for the install, seems 3-4 hours is the install time. Thanks for any advice...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    This may be of some help. Redbook values are used by dealers as a guide to set prices I believe. 4 M3LR car comparison Jan 21 to current 2022. price differences aren’t huge and are definitely Km dependent...

    Has Anyone lifted their model 3?

    I’m interested in doing the same and wondered, if you had time could post a photo or two of the raised car. I assume the Lift kit in conjunction with the MPP Comfort adjustable coil overs has improved the ride significantly over the standard setup? Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Hopefully you will take some time from enjoying your Tesla to report back on your thoughts about the Mountain Pass coilovers. I for one would be very keen to hear how you go. May the car come sooner than later August. Good luck.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Absolutely correct! The display needs to be up the top of the screen, significantly larger and as suggested have a red surround or something that alerts you that there is a car there. As it is currently it is safer to check rear view and look over your shoulder like the old days.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I think we were one of the lucky ones! Ordered 19/11/21 delivered 24/03/22. White with black interior may have influenced our fortunes as well?

    Any safety benefits of Model 3 AWD in Australia under normal driving conditions?

    Couldn’t agree more with you, ive owned AWD cars for many years starting with a Subaru Liberty RS Turbo way back and just find the stability and extra control in adverse conditions it offers is a huge advantage. Not to mention the added safety when overtaking offered by the AWD Tesla LR and...

    M3 Tint question - windows but not roof. Any regrets?

    Agree it’ll look much better. If you mean the sunroof as in the smaller section above the driver then that can be done with the narrower roll as well but the larger back glass including the clear rear window section requires the wider roll. I just got my complete glass roof, sunroof and back...

    Tint choices and suggestions?

    A good quality ceramic tint is far superior with regard to heat rejection for sure. TSER can be up to 15% higher for any given light transmission grade. Yes you are correct the radiant heat from the glass does heat the cabin but a good quality tint will still noticeably lower the temperature...

    M3 Tint question - windows but not roof. Any regrets?

    Perhaps I’m confused but as I figure it you only need 38” wide or there abouts film roll to do the front windscreen. Roll from side to side rather than top to bottom.
