As you probably can understand, your friendly comment on this guy's times not being the most aggressive makes us keen to hear how quick lap times you have seen on this vehicle :) What are some of the best laptimes and highest speeds at Schwedenkreutz you have pulled from the logger? :cool:

Would be great if someone who has tried a Koni + Eibach combo could chime in. My concern would be that the ride height with stock length shocks leaves very little free stroke - but perhaps these shocks are designed with sufficient stroke if they are indeed also meant for performance springs...

That's a surprisingly glaring defect. Almost looks like it's intended for the opposite side of the vehicle?

Looked at this in detail a while back, and my first impression from the parts film was that it might be possible to strip down both seats and transfer Model S seat pads and covering onto the Model 3 frame, and keep all the Model 3 electronics, sensors and harness. There are plenty of unresolved...

Traditionally, B6 is for stock height and B8s have shorter body for lower ride height. Not aware of any stock height aftermarket springs.

Yes. sad to agree there - Øhlins was not the solution I was hoping for. Ultra quality pieces of art, but little improvement on the KW v3s I'm already running on my car. High speed handling is awesome so if you drive fast and or trackdays they may be just the ticket though.

Perhaps you should take a look at Bilstein B6? High quality performance shock for stock ride height. https://web1.carparts-cat.com/default.aspx?14=4&52=1&1230=9997&1231=&10=8EB8D05F4717493BAE83DEFA3FE712B3018004&12=102&30=3328&1250=0&31=38330&330=4125&1260=1

Resale values may fall, but don't forget to factor in the fuel and servicing expense you are being deprived of 😅

Ok Judging from it's performance at Goodwood FOS the tire life might become an issue for some 😅

Well, the premise of my statement was that Polestar was created in an effort for Volvo to start selling EVs. Polestar was Volvo's "AMG" at the time, and was carved out into a separate business entity also owned by Geely. So, in the context of a well established and successful car brand wanting...

Well, I guess go looking for someone who can weld magnesium 😅 Alternatively, scrape them again in the hopes they will ignite and insurance but you a set of new ones (+ car)?

Well, if your ambition is "growth" then by all means. Not sure if you are trolling, friend :) Perhaps success might look like the most sold car on the planet, while making a healthy profit on each unit? I don't know, the Polestar 4 is launched and sales are pretty unremarkable here in Norway...

I guess there are two ways to see the Polestar - Volvo relationship. Polestar was a stroke of genius by Volvo. As a company with no experience with EVs and also operating in a very conservative and safety addicted customer segment, launching the "disposable" brand Polestar allowed Volvo to...

Even as a serial Audi owner I was pleasantly surprised by the interior and perceived quality of the ET7. The thought struck me that it felt more like an electric A6/A7 than the etron GT does. NOMI (the cute assistant) is downright creepy IMHO - luckily it's an additional cost option. But also...

Did not have that experience with cars like NIO ET5 or ES8 - therir systems felt snappy and well thought out. Not as good as Tesla, but much preferable to for instance VW ID. or Merc EQS in my experience.
