Tried it on the rear motor. One of the problems is that the microphone also picks up other sounds from outside, like the engine sound from other cars :) which is them pumped in your speakers. At the track, I would just remove the back seat which increases the rear motor sound in the cabin.

I tried the same and got the same response in Europe.

There are several sizes for the TS5s. I put the 20x10" square setup on my Plaid with better summer tires and could not be happier with it. You will lose some range compared to the OEM 19" Tempests, but on the other hand, the TS5s are more open and the brakes will cool down better.

I don't have any plans to commercialize this, but there are other smart people on this thread who might.

Steering wheel in action:

I was able to build a functional LIN man-in-the-middle. Arduino source code: https://github.com/dance-parrot/m3-yoke-lin Architecture: Connecting to the front wires on the steering wheel with a LIN transceiver and receiving some data (without parsing LIN packets): Connecting the Model...

I'm also embarking on this journey. I'll start with the turn-signal stalks with LIN MITM. I'm going the Android route, inspired by the availability of this library: https://github.com/Beirdo/Arduino-LIN It comes with a Lin2Lin example, which listens on one LIN bus and sends a copy of the...

@alienranch did you end up going with a 285/35/20 square setup? If so, what's your feedback on it?

You'd definitely need different rotors. I was wishfully thinking that MPP could use their existing hats on larger and thicker Girodisc rotors.

Can you share a link to the kit/pads? Do you need an adapter to mount the caliper? Did you do anything to the rears?

I wonder if it will be possible to buy the brake calipers that come with the Carbon Ceramic from Tesla, and get iron discs and pads from a third-party, such as MountainPass. The Tesla Parts Catalog shows 4 rear TRACK PACK calipers (presumably 2 for the main brake, and 2 for the parking brake)...

Get these if you can have them shipped to your location: https://www.ebay.com/itm/322672882789 To have the rings sit on the lip of the performance brakes, you need the 70.1 inner diameter. I used them on my Konig Dekagram (same size) for numerous track days and had 0 issues with them. Other...

I’m on my third set of AR1s and I’m very happy with them. They take 1 minute to heat up, but then are good to go. Tread life is good, 40 laps at the Nurburgring, but that’s a high speed track and not very hard on tires. I don’t have anything to compare them to on the Model 3 other than street...

Early 18 aeros were not machined, and from 2020 we've started seeing machined ones. I would not be surprised if all of the ones that are produced now were machined to accommodate for that lip. Of course, if you can look at the wheel, you can spot it.

For me the weights clear the calipers. I don't have the wheels on right now to take a picture in place, I only use them during winter. The blue sticker is where the weights were last season.
