OMG! That totally fixed mine! I used stick on felt pads on the screw head, but same idea. I was about to start taking the dash apart! Thank you!! I also fixed the rear seat noise my wrapping the hoops that they latch to with blue painter's tape. (less sticky nasty than electrical tape)...

All I can say is that it is not supposed to be like that. Sounds like wind getting in somewhere. Could be the doors. The side windows bit closing enough or being out of alignment with the seals. The service center will know what to look for.

The end of my night, it was 45, but started in the mid to high 50's. Yes, losing traction in a Plaid is exactly like that, hesitation, squirly, especially on the front, sometimes, you hear clunking sounds (brakes slowing the wheels down) and general roughness. Very different than what I was...

They replaced my wheel and it’s better. But yes. It’s still not uniform like the model 3 was. And not as hot. But it’s warm enough now. I guess it’s just another Tesla quirk.

Tesla replaced my steering wheel and it’s much better now

Yes and no, 41 PSI. but so was the other Plaid.

See pics. The slowest pass, I launched too early and it fell on it's face. I felt what seemed to be tire spin on the other two launches. I'm super competitive when it comes to racing and with the other Plaid running 9.2-9.3, I was bummed. I used to run 11.3 @119-120 in my 22 Model 3...

So I went to my local drag strip and ran the 23 plaid for the first time. I have to say I was quite disappointed. It ran: 9.4 @ 151 9.6 @ 151 (Left too soon) 9.5 @ 149 I’m running the Michigan Pilot Sport 4s on the 21’s It was 45 degrees at the end. And it did feel like traction was an...

So, I just purchased a 2023 Model S with the steering wheel and I tried the heat today and it is barely lukewarm and not all the way around the wheel. I only feel it at 10 and 2 and 9 and 3 positions. I just sold my 2022 Model 3 Performance the wheel heater in that car was like a branding...

Thank you for the input. One clarification requested. If you use the car's power by flooring it from a stop, you ruin the suspension?? I can see wearing tires out, but suspension? What exactly happens?

Didn’t really notice in head space. It feels wider. Left left arm is further from the door and I can’t reach the passenger door pocket. I did notice that I wanted to lower the seat more and couldn’t so maybe it is closer to the ceiling. But I’m not that tall so hasn’t been an issue.

Well, it's done. Sold the Model 3 P and got the Plaid! I like it, but it does give up some things from the M3P. But gives you a lot more. I am waiting 500 miles before really getting into it, just in case, even though there is no break in period, at least the tires and brakes have to seat...

Yep, showed up the next day. Sorry for the delayed response.

This marketplace listing has been removed.

I tried to connect my Wall Connector to my app and it failed at registering it, I guess into my account. The support button shows up, but only takes me to the FAQ that does not address this. The first step was scanning the QR code and then connect to its wifi and then it did a firmware...

Thank you. I am a bit nervous, because I love the M3P

Ok, so I'm officially selling my M3P. It's here and on Autotrader. The S Plaid is supposed to arrive next week and I'll trade it if it doesn't sell by then.

Yep, I can see in NYC the 3 being easier. Been there with mine. No issues, but I get that a larger car would be harder, especially in the tight parking garages.

So, is it correct that you do not have the stopping mode menu item/option with the Model S Plaid? The Model 3/Y has a Stopping Mode option to be Creep/Roll/Hold.

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing 2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance. Please add to the discussion here.

It’s ordered.

I did check.

Good point

I know no one can know, but now it seems that the Model S and X may be discontinued, at least it seems to be going around online. And of course, no one can know, but what is the opinion here? It would suck to take a loss on my 3 and then in 5-6 years or whenever I go to sell the S that it too...

CarShop and Tesla have now made me offers. If interested in knowing what the numbers are, PM me. Not sure it's good to publish those numbers publicly, right?

Interesting read. Since I will not likely road race it often, Would the optional 21's give me better steering response, closer to the Model 3 Performance go kart like response? (assuming equal tire types on both wheels)

I’d think lower profile would be better steering response? Isn’t that why all the street performance packs have larger wheels? School me. I don’t track other than drag strip.

Why are the optional wheels 21 inch and the track wheels 20?

When I drove the S and the S Plaid, I put the suspension on stiffest and lowest. The M3P was still stiffer and quicker to respond to the wheel due to the faster steering ratio and lower sidewalls and of course 700 fewer pounds and shorter wheelbase. But according to the road tests, the S does...

Very good example! Thanks!

Good to know. I will likely decide today. I need to see how much I need to pay out of pocket to get out of the model 3, since Tesla killed the value.....

Other than smaller wheels then the optional 21’s and race track tires what does it give you?

That's exactly what I am thinking. And I do drag race and got tired of being beat by the GT500's and the Hellcats. I always take them off the tree and then 3/4 of the way down the track, they blow by me. I have a lot of the races on my YouTube channel. But I keep hearing about the...

So I am considering trading my 2022 Model 3 Performance to a 2023 S Plaid. But my main concern is the handling. The 3P handles very well and has quicker steering ratio making it feel even more responsive. But by the numbers, the Plaid actually pulls more g on a turn and faster slalom time and...

I have heard people say that the Model 3 Performance can shave 0.2 - 0.3 seconds in the quarter mile by switching to 18 inch wheels. Does anyone have experience with this? This is a Performance version, so the stock 18's won't clear the calipers, any suggestions for wheels and tire sizes?

They fixed to today! I made a quick Vid:

I have a whinning rear motor sound at 46-48 mph under light load. Maybe it's that?

I recommend always using OE parts, for everything.

Turning on the headlights in shade made by trees or buildings in a bright sunny day. I wish it was like the wipers, I turn it off and stays off, but keep DRL on.

where's the patch Tesla?

so, no one had the airbag light come on after the last software update?

Anyone also have this?

Mine is the same.

Yes, good that you pointed that out. That's exactly the way mine is too

Yep, the dark spots are on purpose. I think it has to do with keeping the low beams from blinding the on coming traffic

Nope. Randomly shows up. Hopefully Tesla will fix it. But there’s no incentive for them to do so since they make more money if we use one of the streaming services they offer through the car since it requires the cell connectivity subscription. So they may never bother fixing it. It could be...

Calibration didn’t fix mine. It was done many times. But 2022.36.2 software update fixed it.

All Teslas have initial issues. Replacing the drive unit is a simple job. Don’t worry. It’s not an engine. It’s a few bolts and electrical cable. Look it up on YouTube. It’s not a big deal. Sure, it should never have happened but it’s not worth replacing the whole car if everything else is...

Firmware update 2022.36.2 fixed this issue!

Good to know. That means, it will be fixed.
