Sold - thanks

A lot of us are probably still lower than normal due to COVID, but let's give it a shot. Chime in if you feel like you've achieved a noteworthy mileage on your TM3... How is battery holding up? Issues? Google results are polluted with the same old BS. I'm at ~11,500 and zero "real" problems so...

Same

wrong

How do you know the wheels are aligned? And you're generally supposed to disconnect all power to any vehicle when messing around with airbags - partly because crazy stuff happens, but mostly because of what you're experiencing now. On the TM3, that means disabling 12V power and high-voltage...

I'll only buy this if it plays the trance on usage

Wrong thread but yes this is horrifying. Whenever I read stuff like this I just imagine a bunch of engineers somewhere in a back room ripping their hair out.

How this goes will determine whether this car gets sold soon.

Same here. I accidentally uncoupled a quick-release on the compressor end one time, near a wall, and briefly went deaf... We'll see if this fantasy becomes reality after a few people's eardrums explode.

Digital Product - real estate, mortgage & insurance

There's plenty on this subject out there, but I'm asking here in an attempt to hit on things I haven't considered, yet. I'm going remote full-time - moving to a state 3,000 miles away from my original state. Employer is giving me the option of making payroll/legal/HR doing the legwork of...

do u need help w/ cam?

I tend to believe this - I had weird pulling after getting an alignment that eventually subsided. Tech at SC confirmed there’s something like this going on. At the end of the day, if you want a a perfect alignment, you’ll either have to do it yourself, or pay for it. Most places just get it “in...

If they're scared, you don't want to go there, anyway. The alignment on these cars is simpler than any BMW/Merc but shop imbeciles don't get it. I had to call about 15 places until I found one that wasn't afraid, and then they did a so-so job. All I can say is keep calling - the place I found...

Yes if he is blind

I came up with a way to get the entire car up on 4 jack stands without any special tools or equipment but I’m afraid to post it because I’ll get *sugar* for it.

No such thing in Model 3

A tenth of a second for a car that's already in the low-3s to 60 is pretty dramatic.

We know that square setups are generally best for our cars & BMWs etc. from a performance perspective. Why do Formula 1 cars and some other race series run staggered setups?

see you on the slopes!

y r u wearing ski goggles

I think he means tranny/diff fluids. Otherwise, the guy is a ****ing imbecile.

Yeah, there's your problem - that's not a Tesla-approved shampoo. You need to use Pantene Pro-V Miracle Rescue

Yeah I think it’s gonna be time to stop buying new cars soon.

That poor girl.

Call me insane but this is why I drop off loose wheels and tires. They’ve ****ed in my car countless times and I’m sick of it.

You blame autopilot

Are you shitting me. You’re telling the government dictates what size tires you can/cannot put on your car? Can’t you keep the OEM set and use it to pass inspection? Not sure how things work there.

Elon hates him!

It’s up to you . A few guys on here say it isn’t worth it but I personally enjoy it. The car feels lighter on its feet and I’m highly entertained by the “extra” capability. Braking and turning is hilarious. It’s more so the range hit you need to consider vs the road noise - but I’ve been driving...

He's the fastest ginger in the East!

The only time I've ever had a perfect alignment was when I did it myself with strings. The imbeciles at most places mainly worry about getting it "in the green" and moving on with their day. Find a good shop - you'll pay more, but it'll come out right.

As some of you know, these had the tendency to walk like ~2”. Aside from clipping one side of the underbody cover when lifting the car, it didn’t create problems functionally. But it was kind of dumb. Guess this should solve that: If anybody wants my old bar and just wants to pay shipping -...

Could also take more to get them sticky? I.e. more heat-resistant? I wonder if there'll be an "ironic edition" in 265/35 19s.

Right. There really is no "engineering reason" why a heavy car can't be fast. You just have to beef everything up, proportionally, and have a properly set-up suspension. My times from this past weekend were on par with a GT4 driven by a very experienced guy. Heft can definitely be overcome. Now...

Mine has similar mods and it’s an absolute monster now. Doesn’t affect track mode any differently - just gives the car the handling it deserves.

He skips leg day

Mine are blue.

Seriously these cars are ridiculous with coilovers & a set of wheels + tires. On one of the days I ran this past weekend, the club president requested that he ride along w/ me on one of my last runs and was shocked at what the car could do. I dunno how accurate that g-meter in Track Mode is, but...

Mods?

Seriously - even that thing is porky by "historical" standards. I doubt it'd be that much less expensive to run, especially when factoring in fuel and other engine-related BS that doesn't exist in an EV. The guys on the M2 forums also bitch about weight & heat management. But EVs are still very...

Honestly I don't find it to be *that* intrusive, but there are definitely times where I can tell the car is waiting for me to straighten the steering wheel to "let it rip." I tend to believe that those are the times I'm driving poorly... but the rest of the time when I'm driving well/smoothly...

Did my first auto-x in my P3D- today - I noticed in track mode Hold mode doesn't apply. Someone at Tesla knows what they're doing.

wat.

Not anymore - the motors are now different.
