    Location and fix of rattles in new m3p

    4,000 Miles on my 21 MP3 and the rear seat rattles & squeaks are driving me up the wall. These started not long after I got the car so I placed a rag the catch for the folding seat mechanism and it stopped. A trip to the service center and they claimed they fixed something...but they actually...

    I will NEVER buy an Electric Car!

    Nah, I am about by cheap beater mini-Van! By the way, I have the car, I like the car. There’s some annoying rattles that have popped up that should be fixed soon and other typical, questionable, built quality related items that won’t be but I knew what I was getting in to. Overall it fits the...

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

    I did confirm that a 275/35/19 on a 19x10 +35 fit (It was close, though!), so I assumed that a 275/35/19 on my 19x9.5 +35 should fit no issue. The difference is the tire. The person I confirmed this with is running a RE71R's, so it appears the Falken runs just a bit wide. It's all good, a 5mm...

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

    oops! 275/35/19 on a 19x9.5 +35. 5mm Spacers will do the trick.

    Supercharger - Colfax, NC

    Ahh, Makes sense - I wasn't sure if it was throttling or not as it was the first day the Charger was up and working. I'm sure it's up to 100% of a charge rate either way by now.

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

    With that being said, If it truly is an issue then it looks like a 275/35/19 on a 19x9.5 will be the easy button. I’m not looking to put too much effort in to this as this is not my “primary” Autocross vehicle. 😂

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

    Has this actually been confirmed? Or just speculation? This exact thing was claimed to be “catastrophic” within the Corvette world but proved to be not really an issue, especially in a Auto-X setting. The exception was when running a wonky staggered setup with major Diameter differences from...

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

    Eyeing currently available 200TW tires, I'm looking at 275/35/18 on a 18x9.5 with a 200TW tire. Has anyone ran this combination? Edit ** Disregard. I reread David's first post indicating that a 275/40/18 fit on a wheel of that spec, so a 275/35/18 should fit fine.

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    I have a line on some BNIB Konig Ultaforms in 19x9, +35. Specifically looking for 9” to keep within the SCCA Street (Stock) class Solo rules. While Tesla going from 8.5” wheels to 9” width for the 21 MY performance is generally a good thing it makes wheel selection for 19” Diameter wheels a PIA. 😂

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    It appears that clearance issues for Performance 3's generally comes from the rear caliper and more specifically when we are talking about going down to an 18'' wheels. I'm looking specifically for a 19x9 Wheel in a +35-40mm Offset. Besides the obvious things like Hub Diameter, is there...

    This is literally 1300 Feet from my office. Which mean's I'll never have to use it but but It's nice to know it's there. 😂

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Picked mine up in Raleigh. Two very small paint issues in inconspicuous areas that I can handle. The driver door alignment is not great but I have an appointment setup to fix that. Very pleased otherwise. As I was leaving a truckload of M3P’s showed up. For anyone else picking up in Raleigh, be...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Question for Everyone. My Delivery Date is tomorrow and just I received the Final Lending Agreement just a few hours ago. Can I wait until I see the car in person to sign these? Or is Tesla Expecting me to have that signed ASAP? Thanks.
