    Time for New Tires on my 2018 Model 3 Performance 235/35R20 Recommendations Please

    So its time to replace the Pilot 4S. They have been pretty good but it is time. I dont have to worry about winter any longer now that I am in FL. I have seen a few other options that some folks on my Tesla FB group like and they are less than 1/2! One was Falken Azenis FK510 or Falken Azenis...

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    Right there with ya! I dont not treat this vehicle as a prius and it is not IMO designed for a long range driver. Battery tech is not there yet. A battery rated for 600 miles...that would actually get closer to 460 miles would be ideal as long as it chargers under an hour you have a more...

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    But it only affects the acceleration, I am talking about a complete approach, tells you what is your optimum cruising speed, in-car temperature and so on. I've seen chill and use it when my wife drives it...LOL! Honestly they could really make a few modes that would fit your driving...

    IMO, they should have a range mode and a sport mode setting. Range, dumb down the acceleration, change the ac/heating to a few degrees higher or lower (depending on the year), show you what is the ideal cruising speed and just optimize across the board....as for sport...everything on...period!

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    Lots of factors. When the weather is below 45 degrees F it starts to take a hit on range. These cars in my opinion are not ideal in cold climates...just the way lithium is. Wheel house for good mileage is between 50-80 degrees F out. Northern California and west coast weather this car...

    ONR vs Aero Cosmetics

    Anyone use either or even both? I have McKee 914 and I think it is just ok. I have the ratios measured right just doesnt leave the paint slick and I am not overly confident it is doing that great of a job. I did just grab a bottle of Wolfgangs Uber as it came heavily recommended. ONR is the...

    It’s time for PPF

    I’m getting ready to get some PPF put on. I have a metallic white M3 so yellowing will show sooner on this color then others. I have a few choices. Llumar platinum vs XPEL ultimate plus. Llumar is the newer film and my shop likes it a lot. Wondering what you guys think and what your experience...

    Pics of your M3 modded

    Looking for pics of what you guys have done to your Model 3. I have a white P3D+ and I need ideas of what to do it next. I have tinted the windows so far and want to Chrome delete. Then finish with powder coating the wheels satin black. I am going to do the badges in red as well. Let me...
