    You all have about talked me out of a Tesla altogether...

    Late to this party, but just would add that I own BMW 1M, Porsche Cayman GTS, but I see my 2020 M3P modded by Mountain Pass Performace and after dumping the lousy 20" wheels/tires and replacing with Apex 18" and 265 Michelins, as my most awesome performance vehicle, not to mention by far the...

    My Model 3 was attacked in my drive way.

    Incredibly bogus to do anything but wipe down the interior; treating old blood (even viruses die on exposure) as a hazmat is so ridiculous and blood is easy to remove from synthetic materials like the seats, dash etc. Wood might be harder. Presoak with cold water almost always would work...

    Anybody come from a sports car to Tesla?

    Well I have M3P 2020, BMW Series 1M, and Cayman GTS and they are all so different is apples and oranges time! I don't know what a GBM is?! All I do know is that if your Cayman is a manual, you will miss that and the fact that is so agile and makes fun noises. Still the Tesla M3P is an...

    2018 Tesla Model 3 LR RWD at 34,000 miles (Wheel Alignment with new tires?)

    You can get an alignment "check" for about $30 at Firestone or the other major players and take a look to see if you think you need anything done; my 2020 M3P came misaligned enough to get an alignment! My wife's 2022 M3LR was perfect.

    Why is it so hard to find lowering springs?

    Might try to buy the Performance set-up which lowers the car and I think changes the shocks as well; I have full practically new set that I'd give you if dropped by which might apply to others that have put in coil-overs (I highly recommend any of the 3 choices offered by Mountain Pass...

    Winter tires for Model 3

    Vredestein Wintrac Pro Performance winter tires sized 235/45 18, perfect for model 3; like new (manufacture date 47/20) used for less than 1000 miles, tread measures 10/32 on all. Now have a warm winter home, no need for winter tires. They are every bit as good as Consumer Reports says...

    Any Hardcore Car Enthusiast Out Here? I Have Questions About Going to Model 3

    Competition is good, but Mountain Pass Performance has better options than Unplugged for chassis/brake upgrades.

    Ordered M3P coming from FBO E85 Golf R...hope the Model 3 can check the same boxes

    I recommend 18" (wide summer, narrow winter) for the M3P; 265/40 PS4 for summer on Apex wheels originally intended for Mustang, but great for the Tesla as well; better deal than Michelin and top performance for winter are Vredesteins at 235/45 and less than $200 at tire rack. If you want bigger...

    M3P VS BMW I4 M50

    Well, as previous 997.1, E92 M3 and current Series 1M owner, I would say the judgement on the stock dampers is unduly harsh; my biggest complaint with the stock M3P chassis was it's total lack of adjustment options and I would certainly say that I have been very glad to have moved over to...

    Keep getting flat tires

    I live in Chicago, home to pot holes bigger than some lakes. Immediately sold off 20", heavy, weak rims and replaced with 18" Apex (made for Mustang but fit with centering rings--I hate those too, but compromises!) that are stronger, lighter and make great platform for my 265/40 sticky...
