    Mud Flaps

    That's the one I'm looking at, thanks!

    Mud Flaps

    Looking for any thoughts on flaps for heavy dirt driving. Aesthetics not as important as function. Thanks!

    Model 3 Off-Road Rally Car Prototype

    The EV rally landscape is blowing up as you probably know Thomas. You have e-WRC in two years, numerous one off's, E-Extreme along w two manufacturers that have announced production EV rally cars. Our primary mission is to take part in changing the image/perception of EVs to what they already...

    Model 3 Off-Road Rally Car Prototype

    • We'd found that thread, and have been doing some research from the county archives, and yes the location has been a challenge. A proposal was put forth in 2015, but did not happen. In the attached photo you can see one entrance to our property, by the airport (the hwy 49 marker).The entire...

    Model 3 Off-Road Rally Car Prototype

    Wouldn't it be great to have both! :) We'll have 5 Tesla Model X's (six-seat config) for guided day tours to Yosemite, led by a Model S. And currently we're slated for 7 Model 3's. 4 dedicated to the rally school, and 3 for Tesla Games and Playtime (open access through the park). We have not...

    Model 3 Off-Road Rally Car Prototype

    It's been something the town has been working on as well, as the only one there is for customers of a business. Roughly 3.5 million people pass through Mariposa to Yosemite, and we're happy to host the chargers for all to use. We'll have around 12 on the property, 5 Model X's for Yosemite Park...

    Model 3 Off-Road Rally Car Prototype

    Thanks, we know. We just got that up in WIX, in the process of getting it dialed in...sorry. And we are just getting started with zoning, among many other things. The county has been supportive in the overall concept, but we have a bunch of hurdles to get through. We've also had some great...

    Model 3 Off-Road Rally Car Prototype

    Great question! Track mode has been primarily tested in the snow, where there is very little grip. We're super excited to see what happens with the right dirt compound to provide a bit more grip. And the full tech explanation to your question can be found at the bottom of the page on the Tesla...

    Also a concern, but the terrain will be VERY smooth-nearly tarmac smooth for the rally component. This is the best video to show how it will look by RoadShow. Check it out around the 7 minute mark where he engages track mode. That surface is what ours will look like, only without the snow :)

    Will do! We're still a long way out, not only w the car but getting this through local zoning. You can track our progress at EVpark.racing

    Model 3 Off-Road Rally Car Prototype

    We're working on the first pass of suspension mod's, currently at a 3" lift, with 18-inch rims. And we're using the word "rally" as it's off-road, but the surface will be very smooth. Think road track with less grip and plenty of room to slide around. As the throttle is used to "steer" in...

    Model 3 Off-Road Rally Car Prototype

    Hello TMC! My team and I have just purchased our Model 3 performance which will be used in testing over the next 3 months to build a Tesla Rally school near Yosemite Park, on a 1,900-acre parcel of land. We're in the very beginning phases, and have a strong engineering team put together. My...
