    Model 3 LR vs Performance for 1-2 track days a year

    Get the P; swap to 19s w/40 sidewall... or even 18s (some 18s will fit over the brakes I hear). If you like spirited driving and the track, you want the extra pop. That said, the LR I drove was nice, but I never even considered it

    App Issues [dont have car yet]

    Could be simply because I don’t have the car yet, but I downloaded the app in preparation for my delivery (7d from now) and had been looking at videos etc thru it. The app updated, and now I t will not let me advance past the intro screen. There is no way past. It makes me concerned that I...

    Agreed on the red and white being beautiful. My hang ups is red = cops and white = constant cleaning to make it look respectable. Therefore I went with the grey. Which looks awesome in person. Hope everyone enjoys their new rides. I know I will

    I thought it wasn’t rough at all during my test drive. I’m also in the camp that a sports car is supposed to ride like, well, a sports car. If I wanted smooth/soft I wouldn’t have gone with the performance... coming from someone who had a 2004 Corvette Targa and 2009 CTS-V (the real V with...

    I called them to light a fire... called main Tesla number. Found car in transit. Then called my SA to ask what I should be paying for it to be ready for delivery. Had a delivery appt the following day.

    Several questions about Martian Wheels vs Vossen vs Gemini's on MY.

    Everything would have to be done dead equal. So I would actually say that driving the same car makes a better comparison (like the prior poster and the videos showing the same car). it would just be odd, as Tesla says the Aeros WITHOUT caps have more range than the Ubers, and I think they have...

    Several questions about Martian Wheels vs Vossen vs Gemini's on MY.

    I cannot attest to your results, but it would be very very surprising. The uberturbines have maybe a touch of aerodynamics to them, but they are hardly aero wheels. They are also NOTORIOUS range killers; something tesla even outright admits. The literal difference between the long range and...

    Woke up in the middle of the night and a Tesla had snuck in like Santa and dropped a vin in my email. delivery 3/26-3/31 (they want the rest of their money first before giving me an appointment. The nerve of these people right?) so excited. So glad none of the SAs yesterday could get me a vin...

    What kind of witchcraft is happening? I spoke with another SA (mine wasn’t available) and asked him to match me to a car IN production. He couldn’t do it. Then said his service line said they can’t match IN production VINs at all. I mentioned the forum and said people had even matched a pre...

    Interestingly enough guys... I spoke with Tesla local and regional. There are a ton in inventory today, but none of them (at least in the north East region) are out of production. Many are preproduction. Because of this the regional manager said not to try to match as they could unmatch me after...

    No vin. And my dates disappeared. A few on the inventory nearly match my build... I called and while they have VINs and are slated for my region, they are “pre-production” (I spoke with some very helpful. He had the vin and was assigning it then called regional because it wouldn’t assign. They...

    Several questions about Martian Wheels vs Vossen vs Gemini's on MY.

    This is both true and untrue at the same time. Yes, getting more power from the upgrade will net you more bang for buck, but make no mistake: Stationary mass is not even remotely close to rotational mass on a car. We can spare the physics, but the conversion from static -> rotational weight...

    The communication is by no means great, but honestly I haven't been offended by it either. I think expectations have to be reined in for some. If something is wrong, or an unexpected delay occurs, then communication is a must. I know that certainly applies to some on this thread (ordered late...

    2021 Aftermarket wheels and TMPS questions

    Hello all. Should be getting my M3P 2021 in the next several weeks. I'm going to go to 19x8.5 with 245/40/19s. First an explanation (which may or may not be necessary) 1) The uberturbines are cool, but I'm not head over heels in love. 2) 20" is cool, but on the sedan the 19s look almost the...

    Mine keeps going back and forth between estimated weeks and days. Whenever it puts weeks, the next day it has the dates with the March 31 still there, but the first date going further one.

    I went from 25-31 March to “3-6 weeks from date of delivery” 6 weeks from date of delivery would be April 9. I highly doubt I get it before then. Starting to doubt I get it by then. Really wondering if I pull the trigger on a MYP before then...

    It’s not that. It’s the base on sticker is over 60k for the Y now. That makes no 2k rebate in NY. It’s not the sticker price, it’s the gap between MYP and M3P getting bigger that made me balk and definitively settle on the 3.

    These look unreal. What’s the color on these?

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room [2020-2023]

    True. #1 reason I didn’t/won’t pull the trigger is the $1000 price increase made me lose the $2000 rebate in NY... so while it’s already 4500 more than the 3, it just became 6500 (the 3 still gets the rebate). 6500 for space I don’t need, when I prefer the driver position in the 3.... hard to...

    How does it work if you are waiting/placed and order and one pops up that matches your order? Does buying that replace my order? Does it impact my order? Or am I then on the hook for 2 cars?

    Y performance vs long range 3 handling

    For sure everyone is different. I know I would have loved the Y and I would have gotten use to it quickly. It’s a great car, especially in performance trim. I was genuinely impressed and that’s coming from a sedan that pulls 0.95g on the skidpad and lays down a 12.3 quarter mile. It’s just...

    Y performance vs long range 3 handling

    Anyways... I did drive the Y performance, and it was wonderful. But I ordered a 3 later that same day. Why? Drivers position. Loved driving the Y performance no doubt. Great car. Fast. Handling was far superior to the standard Y (much more on rails) and very impressive how little body roll I...

    Y performance vs long range 3 handling

    Thanks for the reply. Makes sense what you are saying and I can relate to a higher car losing some feel under acceleration; my 4wd Trailblazer SS did this. ‘Ride comfort is a mild to moderate concern, but I’m coming from a nice pedigree of cars that are ROUGH on the ride. My CTSV is super...

    Y performance vs long range 3 handling

    I guess the specific question I have is the lowering/suspension changes make the handling feel noticeably different? Sharper/more connected specifically?

    Y performance vs long range 3 handling

    I’ve made the decision to buy a Tesla Performance, but only could drive the long range models on a test today. There’s no ability (at least here in NY) to test a performance. I loved the 3 and really liked the Y on my test drive. Coming from a CTS-V caddy (Highly modded Trailblazer SS before...
