That's great news!! So is Service Mode Plus/+ only activated via the hardware Toolbox at a Service Center? Is it a permanent switch to enable it? I take it that the best we can do at home is regular Service Mode?

I wish Chill would tone down the first 1/4-1/2 throttle but still allow full power at wide open. Looking more at the deltas the 0.4 seconds difference in 0-60 mph and 1/4 Mile ET between the LRAB and M3P is probably 50% due to the 60' times. For some reason the M3P (60' in 1.7-1.8 seconds) can...

0.4 seconds isn't what I'd say is significantly faster for 0-60 and 1/4 mile ET. The trap speeds are also very similar. I was referencing the power output of the 3D3 front and 3D1 (M3P) and 3D5 (M3LR) motors. LRAB makes the front 3D3 motor produce the same power as on the M3P. But the M3P 3D1...

I only mentioned it because in another thread they were saying previous installs weren’t working.

I have 2024.2.7 on a 2022 Model 3 LR, and the DIY Homelink still works. Activated my garage door just fine and I see the icon in the top part of the screen. I installed it in October 2023.

Back in the fall time frame I wanted to buy the Homelink direct from Tesla and install it myself, however the only option on the app was to have it shipped to a Service Center and for me to go there with an appointment for the install.

From what I have read, the 3D3 front motors are the same but stock Long Range needs the Accel Boost to increase its power output capability to match the Performance. The rear 3D5 and 3D1 is where the main difference is, but when I added up the power output it was like 490 hp for the Model 3 Long...

Someone at work who was thinking of getting an EV was arguing that there's no way to charge in the desert between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, so I pulled out my Tesla app and showed the SC's in real-time between LA and Vegas as well as around Barstow. I noticed that many of these SC's had up to...

The best decision I made was to go with the stock 18" on my Model 3 LR. 235/45R18 offer a very smooth ride. My 2017 Fusion Sport (which weighs the same as the Model 3 LR) had 235/40R19 which is the OE 19" Tesla size, and those rode like rocks and I lost 2 tires and 1 wheel due to potholes. I...

I’d get the Performance if it came with factory 18” wheels. I will not play the wheel swap game. That’s something I’d consider if I were 20 years younger.

I don't need much boost at all on EcoBoost. The secret to tuning it (and I wrote a guide BTW) is not to increase the boost but rather to increase the torque limiters to levels that the drivetrain can handle, massage the max spark advance with the right fueling, etc... The factory speed density...

I was talking about 60' times in your original question. No one is questioning the performance of the Model 3 LR/AB/Perf in general. The 60' times I mention are taken from the timeslips at dragstrips. I'll say it again, that split second delay in the Model 3 LR and LRAB is rather annoying when...

I was referring to only 60' times. The Model 3 LR is about 2 seconds, and Model 3 LRAB is something like 1.9 seconds and Model 3 Performance is 1.7-1.8 seconds My tune-only SHO would do 1.8 seconds all day long on worn out street tires, same with my tune-only Fusion Sport. The SHO's with drag...

It's frustrating right? The last few times I had it happen to me, I started tapping the sh*t out of the turn signal lever like 5-7 times and it never turned the signal on. Luckily with the latest software update, I no longer need to hold it / or go to the 2nd position. Just 1 half-tap usually...

My Ford intelligent access key fobs transmit at 902 MHz and only work in proximity to the car. But I am able to open any of the 4 doors or trunk of my 2017 Fusion Sport by walking up with the fob in my pocket and pushing the trunk button or grabbing the door handle to open. Battery is DL2450 and...
