It's not about a need and nor was I driving it in a reckless manner. Just comparing throttle response mapping under normal driving conditions. Is it beneficial or practical...maybe just to me to know that Tesla can indeed give us a 3rd driving mode for regular use.

Try using it on the streets but driving sanely for a few miles, then turn it off. I think for actual track use after some hard laps I agree with you that it feels more subdued. Not sure how much this is psychological vs. software.

Anyone notice that Track Mode is like missing Standard mode on our cars? Driving with it on for my commute today I notice it's way less touchy but if you get it beans it goes like hell.

Really just two things to note for those with a Performance model and Track Mode V2. Compressor Overlock ...read the caution Track Cam needs setup.

Nice! But yeah...$$$.

I can comfortably cover 200 miles.

It's pretty normal. See if you can try on a really wet surface, loose gravel, or surface with lots of wet leaves - stand on the brake pedal. Snow/Ice would work too. You'll hear and feel it more. Tesla has a nicer ABS system, plus the extra weight means there's less ABS engagement in general due...

I did mine on TurboTax and it was confusing what they displayed to me but as I understand it, your inputs on the form are correct. TurboTax also shows the full 7,500 but what I actually see for my purchase after July 1, 2019 is 1,875. If I modify the first field (your 4a) to 1,875, my refund...

I'll redo some wedding photos for you then. ;-) Thanks a lot though!

Mounted staggered Titan7 T-S5 Technica Bronze wheels. Stock P3D suspension.

Mounted and love them. Spent a brief time on track at Laguna but with all seasons it's definitely not the right tire for this really heavy car...not to mention the car absolutely needs pads and high temp brake fluid. :-)

I am waiting on Project Kics Iconix lugs before I can mount them...but for anyone curious... These are the 20" staggered set from Titan7. 20x8.5 et35 and 20x10 et40 Wrapped in Michelin A/S 3+ 235/35/20 and 275/30/20.

I hear you. This is related to complaints about why tesla doesn't use a dedicated rain sensor for the wipers, but instead uses neural net (arguably both would be ideal). Blind spot is the same...if they stuck with the more traditional sensor methods, they wouldn't need to rely on making sure all...

The car may have reduced confidence in what those objects are and their distances, without radar data to support it. The computer may still register the objects but not display them (could be a design choice). If the weather is fairly poor, I'd just focus on the road and not looking at...

haha thanks. my car is white - it has stealth PPF aka Matte PPF - and it's a P3D. I'm not sure the transformation is going to be that wild but we shall see! Here's someone with a Model 3 and similar wheels but I think they're 19" Tesla Model 3- Titan7 T-S5 & Eibach Springs Also I think you...

Arrived in the mail yesterday. Waiting on Project Kics lugs. Tires and TPMS ordered today - will need to schedule an appointment for install. TItan 7 T-S5 Technica Bronze - 20x8.5 and 20x10. Will run F:235/35/20 and R:275/30/20 Michelin A/S 3+.

Anyone do an A/B test with the MPP Comforts? And if comfort for track-use (just for kicks) is worse than stock?

curious if you've ridden back to back with stock suspension and the MPP sport coils or the MPP comfort coils. would love some input for comparison - even subjective input is good. thanks!

EDIT: sorry I read your response above. Are you stock height? Wow that's going to be what I want. Thanks! Dang looks good. Was this 19x9? I'm thinking bronze too and probably those same tires - Michelin A/S 3+ - .... did you get them in 245/40/19?

Been waiting for the 19x9 T-S5 wheels myself for some time (delayed production). Was planning to wrap 245/40/19 tires. Depending on the tire compound as well as design the width could vary somewhat greatly as well as the rolling resistance. I have a suspicion than the Pilot Super Sports might...

agree with the good idea. with the bolt and maybe buick in particular, I think the nozzle was a requirement because those cars also have the digital rearview mirror option - so there were two camera modules - one for reverse camera and one for the review mirror - different lens designs and...

The "fogging" is considered within spec - as long as the fogging goes away. Service replaced my driver side pillar this morning because enough water intruded that it left hard water stains/deposits which cause the camera error to appear frequently - even when there's no fog/moisture inside...

Installed a matte screen protector from day 1 and every time I get into another tesla without it, I am greeted with smudges and glare...matte all the things. :)

Likely the first week in August as I don't want to miss the puffins but still want enough chance to see the northern lights again. As someone else mentioned, I couldn't stop standing out in the hail storms for breaks to photograph your beautiful country.

I might re-visit your beautiful country in August of this year - would be neat if times and paths crossed!

It's important to not only measure the height but the distance of the overhang from the front tires, to give you accurate approach angle figures. Not sure which hybrid you have, but in my family my performance model 3 is definitely lower than our camry hyrbrid but the overhang is also much...

Brought my car into SC today. Tech acknowledge the softer pedal feel and suspects because hard braking had been done that it sometimes dislodges/introduces an air bubble in the lines. They tell me they're going to bleed the system to see if it helps.

Took my car in today. They said condensation is normal too but my driver side clearly had more water intrusion which left hard water deposits inside and said it needs to be changed out. So hopefully things go well.

When I was at my parents house with only a 110, I would just keep the car charging the entire time - limit to 100% - cause really unless you don't drive the car for a few days straight, it won't hit it...haha. It's not ideal in terms of higher costs at peak hours but we're talking about 110v vs...

Perhaps I took delivery during a non-crunch time. The driver of my car did not once seem rushed or rush me. She was very laid back and calmly photographed and documented the various gaps, alignment, and paint issues that I pointed out. I subsequently set a service appointment, stating the same...

I liked home delivery. You don't have the other environmental distractions since you're on your own turf and you can absolutely refuse to accept the car/sign papers. If possible bring a friend who already has a model 3 along to just be a silent partner in inspection. I didn't like home...

Sweet. I may bite on MPP Coils if I can't stand the gap on my incoming 19" Titan7s.

Did they acknowledge or do anything about the b-pillar camera?

I hear what you're saying. I definitely would have to still provide my own service, but it might be possible for some people to get a cheaper plan (free in my case). In the case of an Audi A3 I leased, just because I swapped out AT&T's sim for my own did not cripple remote connectivity services...

I'm going to guess the bridge between Tesla's billing/account system and AT&T Wireless's system has a lot of faults or missing pieces...good luck folks! I would actually like to know if Tesla uses an E-Sim or a physical sim...if physical I'd like to swap it out for my own carrier, like how I've...

I live on the foggy side of San Francisco and I can also attest that AP does a great job in fog. Frankly it sees better than I can. If you are recording dash cam footage, you can get a rough idea of what the car can see, and I'm blown away by not only how much further it can see down the road...

I have my appointment Jan 10 with a few other ongoing items.

Looks like I'll be going to Tesla. Getting camera warnings a lot and today noticed there seems to have been some water intrusion.

Following this one...

yeah my experience has been stiff pedal or in dramatic cases, you reach the bottom of your pedal travel to the floor and you're still unable to lock the tires. Happened in my Honda Fit during a panic stop from 80mph on the highway. A pad swap fixed it - nothing else was done. i distinctly...

Would that impact the pedal travel/feel? I'd think I would just need to stand on the pedal more, but that's not the case.

Can you lock up your tires? My brake pedal was also very firm but after a day at autocross it has gotten noticeably softer - but not like I boiled fluid - and I can still easily lock up the tires. Just keep in mind the car is some 4100 pounds without you and any other gear in the car...it's a...

I never got a follow-up and I didn't follow-up either since I've been busy. The clicking went away for me after beating up the brakes and car a bit at autocross. The pedal's a bit softer now, even though I don't think I got even close to boiling fluid but who knows what could be happening...the...

Same. I use TurboTax. Hoping it'll be a simple process...and accurate lol.

wow dynamat...hardcore.

Hold is actually one of the best/only ways to accomplish an accurate 0-60 (or beyond) run. I will say for the first-time ever, I also noticed this lag/hesitation off the line when trying to do a hard launch/acceleration. I cannot rule-out "obstacle avoidance acceleration" as I tend to keep the...

Interested in SV503 or SV104 in 19x9" square. Thanks!

Track mode does turn pretty much everything off, except automatic emergency braking.

Not sure I'll find an answer unless I bleed my brakes, but with how little I used my brakes for this event, I have a distinct memory of the one time I stood on my brakes when someone spun in front of me (yes in autocross...can be a separate discussion lol), and at some point during the hard...

Autocross or short courses typically kill the tires more than anything else. If you are able to get adjustable camber and tires meant for such conditions, then they'll be more fun and last much longer. As with any motorsport, there's certainly costs associated with it. A full track day may...
