Make sure to do both airplane mode on and Bluetooth off. I've seen my phone automatically turn Bluetooth back on when it wasn't on Airplane mode.

Ummm... Not my opinion. It's physics. Even 1g lighter with same power, will be faster. You don't seem to understand experimental controls and limits of measurement accuracy well.

Any new car needs the computer to be aware of the battery specs and the age of the battery. It will charge differently as the battery ages. If it still thinks an old battery is installed, it may give too much juice to the new battery on a regular basis or something to that effect. I don't know...

Cost of ownership includes insurance, repairs, maintenance, interest, taxes and fees, registration, and any other expenses along with depreciation and fuel costs. Usually broken down on a monthly basis. The information you have provided in this post is not very useful.

A half second is an obvious lie. But lightweight wheels are definitely faster. Whether it is measurable or negligible depends on the amount of weight savings. Any increase in power to weight ratio, no matter how small, will be faster. Also, I wouldn't imagine there is significant difference...

I'm still trying to get used to the traction control and what it will let you do and when it will lock you down. I'm finding if I drive it right, I can get the back end out just a little before I lay into it and pull it straight, but it's not super intuitive. In general tho, it seems like more...

The CC2 definitely looks like one of the best all around all seasons available. Best for the Model 3 would depend on how you value a number of factors tho (ie I went with the Pirelli PZero AS+ over the Michelin PS AS4 because I wanted comfort, noise and rolling resistance over dry grip). This...

There are plenty others who have shaved a tenth of a second or more. Read through some of the acceleration related threads (may take awhile; they're long) As others have mentioned, you may be able to shave a tenth of a second, but it's not a guarantee. I went with flow formed wheels that looked...

The P is too much. More of a party trick (like FSD) outside of the track. The LR is enough. AB should be about perfect.

That was my understanding.

It's not tire size, it's the compound that creates a large difference in rolling resistance. Low hysteresis is needed for low rolling resistance and it is almost exactly the opposite of what is needed for high grip/performance (especially in wet conditions)

I had assumed the difference was all in the tires and aero wheel covers. What is known about the difference between the 980 and 990 motors?

This solved my problem too. Great post!

The all-season will last a lot longer. Think the PS4S is more of a dry oriented tire than the PS4 and the PS4 AS, but I wouldn't think that would be a problem unless you lived in the UK or Pacific NW. I'd bet tire noise, ride comfort and rolling resistance are all slightly better with the all...

The look of the wheel (terrible), the 20" size (too big), the 35 series tire (too small), and summer only is a big reason I went with an LR+. There are tons of sets of Performance wheels and tires for sell locally and they aren't easy to get rid of. If I'm replacing the stock wheels and tires...
