    "12 Volt" Power Outlet in my Tesla Model S Plaid Has Burned Out 3 ~$1000 Escort Redline 360c detectors

    I am running a Radenso DS1 in my M3P and it works no problem powered from the USB port in the compartment behind the cup holders. I bought a 20ft USB C to A cable and used it like a hardwire kit and it's totally stealth. The suction cup also surprisingly sticks on the black plastic beneath the...

    FS: 20" Uberturbines, Pirelli tires, TPMS - $2500 shipped CONUS

    I recently purchased some used Signature wheels on here for my brand new 2022 Model 3 Performance, so looking to sell these OEM takeoffs to recoup some of my cost. These wheels and tires are in excellent condition and have only been on my car for about three weeks and 1000 miles. I washed them...

    Do you occasionally charge to 90%?

    I read this and was really confused because I didn't remember posting this last night. You took the words right out of my mouth haha.

    New upgrade available in my app. Enhanced auto pilot for $6k. Wish they would offer accel boost for m3p.

    Well, that is something we can agree on. As a former HPDE instructor the lack of basic car control that most people have used to be pretty shocking to me. And as bad as they were, the people I would get as new drivers for track days are probably better drivers than the majority of the...

    New upgrade available in my app. Enhanced auto pilot for $6k. Wish they would offer accel boost for m3p.

    It is widely accepted, and there is a large research body of peer reviewed studies, that show driving the 85th percentile of traffic speed - which is almost always above the speed limit - is the safest speed. You're welcome to spend time googling research it if you want, but it's so widely...

    New upgrade available in my app. Enhanced auto pilot for $6k. Wish they would offer accel boost for m3p.

    As luck would have it I am driving from KY to CT this week, taking the 71-I80 route through Ohio and PA. I will make a point to take several videos of traffic going 90mph for you. Having driven this route nearly 100 times in my lifetime, I can already tell you the first one will be the stretch...

    New upgrade available in my app. Enhanced auto pilot for $6k. Wish they would offer accel boost for m3p.

    The speed limit is totally irrelevant to this discussion, other than me making the point for effect that there are numerous speed limits in the USA that are 80mph and one in Texas that is 85mph. The question is how fast people actually drive. If most people drive 80mph, it stands to reason...

    80 isn't even as fast as the fastest speed limit in your state. Traffic averages over 80mph in many areas of the country on certain sections of interstates and it is statistically proven that driving the speed limit when it is lower than the speed of traffic is unsafe. 80mph is so tame that...

    New upgrade available in my app. Enhanced auto pilot for $6k. Wish they would offer accel boost for m3p.

    (Moderator Edit) Luckily, your M3P isn't fast enough to hold off literally any other $60K+ performance car over 80, (Moderator Edit) I can't remember the last time I drove the speed limit on the highway. If I did in my area, I would be rear ended or road raged off the highway. Lol, I...

    Smaller and Lighter wheels make you faster, more efficient, and offer better road hazard protection.

    Great data, I know I won't see as much of a gain as going to 18s, but I am looking forward to swapping out my 20 UberHeavies with lightweight 19in forged wheels and Michelin P4S.

    New upgrade available in my app. Enhanced auto pilot for $6k. Wish they would offer accel boost for m3p.

    I am tired of people saying "charge to 100%!!!! its faster!" Cool story, but we spend literally .01% of our time at 100% charge. I want more power on tap all the time in the real world, not for pre-staged drag races. I can't exactly tell the cars I need to pass on the highway "EVERYONE PAUSE...

    New upgrade available in my app. Enhanced auto pilot for $6k. Wish they would offer accel boost for m3p.

    I would pay another $10-15k for another 10mph trap speed. Right now the M3P is extremely quick but not fast. It's JUST on the borderline of being fast, but not quite there. I ran a brand new Camaro SS and he consistently pulled me over 80mph. Right now, the Model 3 will be pulled on pretty...

    AP Racing Big Brake Kit by Essex Radi-CAL Competition Brake Kit (Front 9660/372mm) - Tesla Model 3

    I had this kit for my old BMW M2 (I had the 9668 caliper) and they are absolutely incredible brakes, they are simply the best BBK in the world available to consumers. This is a good deal.
