I know this question has been asked in past years, but here we are in 2021 and I am moving from Arizona to Rhode Island and I am looking for a car transport broker for my Model 3 that is both reputable and has some experience with Teslas. (No. For a variety of reasons, driving the M3 is not an...

Actually, I sailboat race back East during the summer and “horizonjob” describes a successful move or series of successful moves where the competition sees you near them and then in short order you’re just a dot on the horizon, thereby pulling a horizon job on them. I am familiar with Horizon...

Yeah. I love the nervous laughs I get....

@Postal M3 - Yikes, I would hope not. Interestingly, in July, Motor Trend clocked the LR AWD at 4.0 for 0-60, much faster than Tesla’s rep. I wonder what they’d get if they redid the test post-boost. Getting 3.8 with the boost would split the difference between the promised 4.4 and the...

Yes. It was fast before, but a bit silly fast now - Something you’re familiar with in your Performance M3. Fortunately, I like silly. My 29 year old daughter, on the other hand, told me today to please stop with the rocket launches.

There is that.... Honestly, my LR AWD was plenty fast before, but I couldn’t resist.

Yes. I just couldn’t remember if it was there before. I gather from your post it wasn’t. ;-) Thanks.

I won’t get into the pluses and minuses of buying the performance boost. I toyed with getting the Performance version, but $10k was too much for things I didn’t need. Another $2k was a lot, but not enough to dissuade me. After buying the upgrade, the instructions were that the update would be...

Thanks. I am in Arizona, so the heat hasn’t been on until the recent cold spell. Before that - the first few three hundred miles - I was at 245 Wh/mi.

I got my LR AWD M3 with 19” sport wheels the beginning of last month. I’ve put on only 600 miles so far, and that’s been with a 40mi roundtrip commute to/from work. Half the commute is on residential streets and half on a highway where I’m usually doing 75. I admit I have a lead foot and am...

Hi, new Tesla owner here. I picked up my car last Friday, and despite my best effort to check out the car before bringing it home, I saw several fit and finish issues when I got home and spent several hours learning more about my vehicle. Specifically, I saw a sensor by the rear wheel well that...

Phrasing my question differently - Other than price, is there any reason NOT to get the Performance model? Note that while someday I might find myself regularly back in southern New England with occasional snow and potholes, for the next few years at least the car will be in Scottsdale, Arizona...

Interesting. I was thinking of the Long Range, but with 19” sporwheels. As for acceleration, I currently drive an Audi S5 with a large V8. I love the car, yet the Long Range would leave it way behind from 0-60.

I’m wondering if there is a range penalty on the 20” wheels. As it is, if I get the Long Range I would want the 19” sport wheels. Thanks.

As I get closer to buying a Model 3, I had questions about the Performance vs the Long Range version. I test drove both and was impressed with both, and while the Performance seemed crazy fast, I did not notice a big difference between the acceleration of the two. In fact, two Tesla salespeople...
