    Wheel weight and daily driving

    Thanks for sharing Previous more or less made this a stealth performance with the exception of red brakes. They were able to downsize the "summer" setup to use the 19 sports and 18in aeros for winter. I was mainly asking from a ride quality/driving feel perspective. With that much saved weight...

    Wheel weight and daily driving

    I'm looking to get different wheels for my 19 P3D. That being said I know lighter is technically always better from a performance standpoint but does it make a difference in daily driving? I don't really plan to track the car in any respect. I don't plan on going heavier either but wasn't sure...

    Question about earlier performance models

    Could you option the performance with out the performance upgrade package but still specifically only get the red brakes and the 19's? He also gave the car with the 18s that he said he bought from Tesla for winter setup. I have the red line, red brakes, no spoiler, not sure about about...

    Question about earlier performance models

    It's warranty for basic coverage ends in August, could that still be the case?

    Question about earlier performance models

    I bought a used 2019 model 3 performance earlier this year that the owner had put 19" wheels on (I think I remember he mentioning that) but has red brake calipers but no spoiler. I read somewhere that the brakes and spoiler were kinda the big difference between stealth and not. Anybody know for...

    Has Basic Autopilot improved (and phantom braking decreased) since radar was removed? (About to buy!)

    I just went on a 2000 mile road trip. I think as far as phantom braking we experienced it once and the first thing I noticed in the road was a sort of mirage/heat puddle. It does seem to slow heavily when going over a hill where it can't vividly see where the road goes. On a previous road trip...

    Tesla Model 3 driven by the wrong owner

    My wife showed me this story. My immediate thought was the guy had all this stuff in the car to ID him and provide a phone number to someone rummaging around in his car but didn't think twice about having the wrong car? Not the weird seat settings or audio settings? And that the other guys first...

    Impact of daytime temperature, passenger load and distance on car's range.

    Driving slower on that stretch can help but not much. On a hot summer day I opted for a route that used 55 mph vs 75 mph. It was about a 60 mile drive but I managed to save 1-2%. If the trip says you'll make it with a lot to spare than you probably don't need to really worry but if you're only...

    Has the M3P ruined me?

    I personally didn't have a fast car before getting my sr+. I effectively gave the Sr+ to my wife and got a used p- and I can empathize with the sentiment of "it has ruined me". I don't have the need to have a top speed close to 200 but on paper I can beat virtually everything 0-60 for the money...
