    Calling on Audiophiles: Lossless, High-Res and Dolby Atmos

    Why do you need Dolby Atmos? It’s just another positional audio format (and one that hasn’t been adapted to cars). I think what you mean is lossless high sample rate and sample frequency (96/24 and 192/24). The main difference you want is 24 bit sampling vs 16 bit that CD uses. This...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    There’s a gallery of pics of a red one on Reddit. (Oregon delivery) I noticed that the wide angle lens used (fisheye effect) definitely makes the wheel look bigger and stretched the gap on this front wheel shot vs the shot of the white car. Hopefully everyone can see what I’m talking about...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    That photo makes it really obvious to me what doesn’t look right in the rear wheel setup. Look at how far inside the wheel well the rear wheel is. It may have been like that with the old wheels, but the contour of the turbine might make it appear more recessed. Contrast this image with the one...

    Final Payment

    Right, I have the check part under control - thinking ahead to setting up direct bank payments for the finance.

    13 spokes in the photo vs 11 in the 3 (20”) and Y (21”) production wheels.

    Final Payment

    I just scheduled my pickup. Question. They use some payment thing called “Plaid” that proxies your online banking credentials. Is there any way to set up auto payment the old fashioned way by simply entering the banking info at the pickup facility?

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    Digging a bit more, even though the Tesla Store shows 245/35 for the Track Package, seems that early on they used 235/35... Screen grab from this video:

    The Track Package wheels also make the gap look big. Those happen to be 20x9 also, but come equipped with 245/35 20. May just be a case of very few wheels looking “right”, although I still need to see more to say 100%. From the Sentry Mode video - looks fine here: The Track Package...

    Upload Insurance Without VIN? Huh?

    Maybe Google the word “definitively”.

    Model 3 lease question.

    One prominent YouTuber sold his 3yr old M3 for a 32% depreciated value and it took him 4 months to do so. That’s pretty in line with ICE depreciation. That said, it still comes out ahead of a lease, except... -don’t throw money into mods -don’t throw money into PPF and paint coatings If...

    Upload Insurance Without VIN? Huh?

    I got a VIN yesterday without uploading an insurance card so I don’t think we can say definitively that missing this information prevents the process from moving forward.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    Hard to say. I can say that you only need to “stretch” the tire a quarter of an inch on each side of the rim to make up the difference which as I’ve said before should be imperceptible. The question I have is how do we know, and do we know definitely that these are 9” wide vs 8.5? I’m having...

    I found this thread (and TMC) from Reddit. I got my VIN yesterday for my M3P I ordered on 10/16. Northern VA. Says delivery is between Dec 8 - Dec 14. Also, been involved in a thread about that pic of the MSM Performance with the huge gaps. Stretching the tire over a rim that’s .5” wider...
