    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    For 0 to 60 or 1/4 peak power is much less significant than power under the curve

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

    I predicted it will take a few months for Ludicrous option to buy, and I still think that's the case with 2.5 0-60 rollout extracted in US. I won't be buying it, because in the EU price (59.1 - 71.0K USD) vs trade-in is too high, battery cuts into power too much and seats can't be used with...

    The quest for wider wheels and tires, 295, 305 and beyond...

    Don't underestimate influence of low cg. Tire temps on the track say that -3.5f is too much for Model 3. On my Evo with hard springs I needed 3.5 easily

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

    That's exactly the tool I used to cut head restraints on this seat that I've put in my current M3P But you can't do like that with stock seat. I just can't believe that they made a fake harness hole Instead of actually making one on a performance car. I mean, there is not much cost savings on...

    Where I can read about subsidies in CZ?

    The quest for wider wheels and tires, 295, 305 and beyond...

    Because you raised a suggestion that wider tires might require higher pressure and that negates benefits of wider tires. I mean, I don't know how else to read that, so I commented. I alluded to it in the earlier comments that if one runs a wider tire, but has to bump up pressures to compensate...

    Wider tire needs less pressure for the same load. Always.

    Cooling the Performance Model 3 On Track – An Overview of Our Modified Heat Exchangers

    I didn't change my radiator. I thought that oil is hotter, so it works better as a cooling medium. I still have hot radiators, so I plan to put water spray on them. EVs are not that hot, so its much harder to cool them. Heat pump based model 3 are even harder to cool since they don't have an...

    Cooling the Performance Model 3 On Track – An Overview of Our Modified Heat Exchangers

    I disagree about front oil cooler. Front motor is hot. It throws that heat into the coolant. From coolant it goes everywhere. My front coolers push front oil temperature 20C lower. That can't be nothing.

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    So -2.5F is better for the track, but I'm lazy and gradually destroying outer shoulder of cup2 275 35 19. -1.5F is better on the same size 4S for the street. And that's what I have. -2.0R is good enough for both cases. You have -1.0R - that is not enough. 295 35 18 is better for the track...

    Cooling the Performance Model 3 On Track – An Overview of Our Modified Heat Exchangers

    There is no way that you can do 2 hot laps without overheat on the Ring. I have all possible cooling except water on radiators. 3 extra large radiators for front and back with high current fans and direct frontal airflow. My oil temps are fine, battery is fine. It still pulls power back at...

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    I had no issues with MPP FUCA, camber, toe arms and KW dampers. I cleaned threads when I adjusted them. Rear camber is less of an issue, -2.0 works fine for street and track. Unless UP have changed nuts and bolts on their FUCA since 2021, I can't recommend it.

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    I'm keeping -1.5F, -2.0R. Optimal would be OEM specs. That one is a compromise for spirited driving. UP FUCA eventually got bolts completely fused, so I can't adjust it anymore. I also don't use quick swap feature, since I'm lazy to do it, it gets stuck easy and you have to fix toe there and...
