    Tesla Model 3 Front Upper Control Arms

    A possibly explanation of different estimates is that they can replace arms singly or in pairs and for warranty claims they will probably try to replace only one, for cost reasons. For the front upper control arms you should check they are using the new redesigned parts (128832x) because they...

    Tesla Model 3 Front Upper Control Arms

    This might help. UK biased, but part numbers should be the same.

    Highland suspension on 2019 Model 3

    Unlikely, because software.

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

    Can't say I've ever compared SA at -10 with -9, but at -10 on a dry track in some corners, such as off-camber, I can feel and hear the torque vectoring working away when actually I'd be happier to modulate the throttle. That's with the balance slider in the 50:50-30:70 range, which is the where...

    Tesla owner who falsely claimed car was in autopilot before Melbourne crash pleads guilty

    I bet this result won't get as much press coverage as the original story.

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

    In terms of Stability Assist, -10 was never fully off and we never really knew how 0 to +10 related to how the car behaved compared to with track mode off. Setting that slider was more or less guesswork based on how confident a driver you are. I doubt most drivers would be able to tell the...

    Ride height is fixed, yes. We'll have to see how the damping compare to a good aftermarket replacement kit with adjustable spring platforms.

    Model 3 Highland Performance

    FWIW I think there's a good chance there will be a 'boost' software upgrade a bit later to bring the 0-60 time down. Although it'll be interesting to see how much different the 1/4 mile time is once someone's tested it. That'll tell us more about how it's improved at the upper end, which has...

    That was a mistake by Rory... 20" all round

    Accelerating when braking?

    OK well I asked about software as I think the warning changed at some point recently, but I'm on 2024.8.9 and the current behaviour when both pedals are pressed is this: If you press the brake first and then press the accelerator as well, the car will move but the power is very much reduced...

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    Same missiles used to down the A-50. They seem to be working quite well.

    Accelerating when braking?

    @turnbowm What does the warning on your display say when you press both pedals? What software is your car on?

    Accelerating when braking?

    The auto wipers is not a critical safety feature. If it's not working to your liking, just put the wipers on manual, in the same way that if autopilot isn't working to your liking you can drive the car manually.

    Is there any difference between Pilot Sport 4 and Pilot Sport 4 acoustic tyres?

    That photo is of a T0 PS4S vs. generic PS4S. So comparions of the tyre fitted to the M3P at that time. The new PS S5 will replace the PS4S but it's not released yet in the sizes we'd want. The PS5 is more akin to the old PS4. I've been a big fan of Michelin over the years, but I have to admit...

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

    @Knightshade Sorry I couldn't give you credit at the time! I agree re the LR vs P videos and I'm pretty sure Carwow was one of them. Now, while I enjoy some of Carwow's stuff and am not directly involved with the production, I do know a few of the contributers/drivers. Their performance tests...
