Really? I thought on M3P the default mode is 50%/50% power distribution, unless dialed in differently in trackmode?

Thank you, I guessed as much, but have no real explanation why.

I still have a decent amount of thread left on the summer Pirellis that came with the car when new. Now that these are off the car (currently using snow tires mounted on their own wheels), I noticed that two of the Pirellis have slightly more thread left than the other two, but I do not remember...

Thank you very much. I ordered that mirror and will report back. I also made another appointment with a Tesla mobile service technician.

Here is hoping that all your other 5,532 contributions are equally enlightening!

Moderator note: Thread title was edited to reduce click-baitiness. There are supposedly ten Superchargers in the basement of the Fairmont in Whistler. Only problem: you have to first pay a fee to get into the garage (no work around- I asked). Though it's "only" $7.50, it annoys me that I have...

I have the same problem as the OP: rear view mirror auto-dimming, especially of LED an Xenon headlights, is a joke. The dimming filter seems to focus the glare of certain wavelengths of light (the bluish type with higher Kelvin numbers). The insufficient dimming has been quite tiring on long...

whether you have power while YOU are there (???) I will end in San Francisco, which, from what I hear, is not affected by power outages

P.S.: also posted this on the Model 3 site, but have not received any responses.

Before I start my trip through the hottest area in the country right now, I want to check open Supercharger stalls along I-5 in Northern California, which, because of the historic heat dome, is prompting PGE brownouts for the next couple of days. If I cannot charge due to shut-offs by the...

Before I start my trip tomorrow through the hottest area in the country right now, I want to check today's open Supercharger stalls along I-5 in Northern California, which, because of the historic heat dome, is prompting PGE brownouts for the next couple of days. If I cannot charge due to...

From your Thumbs Up, it seems you are agreeing with my approach? ..... it seems like a 245/35/20 Michelin PS4S might be a reasonable compromise for my Uberturbines, once my Pirellis are done: not too much range loss, little change in ride comfort, no need to recalibrate the computer/tachometer...

1. To answer your original original question, I have some thoughts on why Tesla went with the 235. 265mm is 10.4" on a 9" wide wheel. Unsure if you have read this thread but there's some photos of 255s on the Uberturbines. 2. This may largely be dependent on the actual tire choice and your...

Is there another thread where tire width and wheel rim protection was discussed?

Thanks, but the two main questions WHY I am cotempating switching to 265s have not yet been addressed: 1. Will the protective lip of a 265 stick out far enough beyond the Uberturbine's rim to prevent curb rash exposure? Stock Pirelli 235/35R20 are too narrow, and do not protect the rim. 2. I...

Upgrade to 265/30/20 and enjoy the OEM rims. 1. Will 265s stick out far enough that their protective lip will save the whees, and end curb rash exposure? 2. I am partial to Michelins for their superior handling of my other cars. Will that be the case for 265s on the Tesla? 3. Any idea what I...

I hope to gain what every manufacturer of every sporty vehicle is aiming for: lower energy consumption, better handling through less unsprung weight. Besides, I have never encountered a sports car manufacturer who has designed undersized tires for their rims.

There was a thread some time ago that explained the reasoning for this screwed-up combo of too wide a wheel and too narrow a tire. Can I switch to a Tesla-approved Michelin 245, whose protective tire lip will protrude enough beyond the rim?

I am very happy with the sidewall damping/overall response of 20" wheels, but want to shave off unsprung weight.

Thank you. That brings up another question I had planned to post separately: I don't mind the 20" size but the godawful weight of the Uberturbines. Ist there a 20" replacement that will fit my car, retaining the same wheel spacing/offset and usable with the stock tire width (235/35/20) but at...

The protective lip on the Pirellis of my 2021 M3P does not stick out far enough to protect the edge of the Uberturbines from curb rash. I remember there was a thread on TMC on this mismatch, and a possible solution. Can someone point me to it? Thanks, C

. Indeed, physics could not be overcome, and. lower capacity battery would not give me that range prediction @100% charge. I also will twist my body and arms and iPhone to take that picture. Thank you for your thorough reply.

According to the service tech, this is not a reduced capacity size battery to "prorate" and match my usage over the last 15 months, but a brand new stock battery as currently installed in all 2022 dual motor Model 3 versions. I have no explanation. Update: just talked to the service manager and...

The plot thickens: The service advisor confirmed that I will get a brand new battery, but- wait! "it's a 75kwh battery like all our dual motor batteries are now". What? How do they reduce battery capacity, yet maintain the same 0-60 = 3.1 sec. performance specs, and 315 mile range? What...

Yes, I saw your same response in another thread. I will insist on a solid answer before I drop the car off tomorrow. Whether it's the 79KWh or 82KWh battery pack, they should know and tell me, and they should tell me the maximum (remaining) capacity. No opaque responses accepted. Thank you.

My 2021 M3P (11,000 miles) will get a new/reconditioned/whatever battery pack under warranty, due to severe loss of range overnight (down to 220 miles @90% charge) What is the model number of my battery pack? Because I am the lucky owner of the then-new 82KWh batteries that came out right...

...but not losing 15% in nine days, as in my case, after holding steady at 310-315 for over a year!

Thank you for trying to help. -The BMS is a bit off = perform a BMS Calibration. There is at least one complete thread, just search for it but the simple basics is in the link above and also in this thread. That direct link is still dead: Resource Limit Is Reached The website is temporarily...

" Did you loose 10% as well? First thing to make sure is to use the 20” überturbines in the wheels menu." Uberturbines are correctly registered in wheels menu. I lost more than 15% in less than two weeks without any noticeable changes in charging or driving behavior. Routine 90% charge level...

I have had my 2021 M3P for 15 months now, and put 10k miles on it. I use a level 2 Chargepoint charger in my garage (48A) and always charge to 80-90%, (82kWh battery) with the rare supercharging on long trips. I started sifting through the 226 pages of this thread, but have so far not come...

The range for my 2021 MP3 last week suddenly and without any discernible changes in driving or charging habits dropped from 315 miles to 270 for 100% charge level and to 248m for 90% charge. Temps are above 50º now in my garage, which were in the mid 40s a week ago, when I still could charge to...

Superb response. Thank you. I will now sleep soundly again, knowing that they are ALL liers and mileage cheats!

Thank you for the convincing technical explanantion of total battery capacity. So seems like I was fooled by the Tesla engineers (probably the same clowns who hysterically cheered, like the second coning of Christ, when Elon introduced the Red Roadster's 1000km range from the stage...

Those responses are all fine and well, but explain this to me: Why does Telsa give a range of 315 miles, if it is absolutely impossible to achieve this, unless you enter and win a hypermiling contest? What is the point of deliberately disappointing the customer after the sale is made? A driving...

A new Mercedes model with a 100kW/h battery drove 600 miles @ 140km/h (87m/h) on freeways from Stuttgart to the south of France, and had 15% charge left after it arrived (Mercedes Benz's new electric car drives 600 miles on just ONE charge). Yes, the car has 19 more kW hours than mine, is very...

I bought one of these, properly connected it to the USB port in the center console fo my 2021 M3, and it happily swallows and spits out commercial CDs, but I don't hear anything: What menu of the screen do I have to be in to activate this CD player?

Did you have to connect/install more than just one USB cable between the the car and the player?

Thank you both for your informative response. I may try downloading the material to a thumbdrive.

It can be quite tiring having to sift through snarky posts disrespecting the OP's sincere quest trying to play CDs in his Tesla. So with some trepidation I'd like to ask a similar question: Can I plug in my Apple stand-alone, USB-powered CD player and get audio out of the Model 3's speakers...

So, bottom line which most responses seem to agree on: driving an M3P in Track Mode while not changing my driving style will not retain, let alone extend range, despite Track Mode's increased level of regeneration?

...and now that this thread is being resurrected, here is my question as a range miser, not race car driver: Would I make up the added amount of battery regeneration in track mode for the extra battery drain the track mode is said to pull out? If the net result is more range, due to higher...

Setting levels of regen would be a great user option, but it is not available on 2021/22 models. Again, both cars I mentioned - MP3, MY Long Range - had identical charge level, time since last use and outside temps. The Model Y's level of regenerative braking was substantially larger, and felt...

Sorry, but my question is still not answered: Compared to a current version MY, or even my 2020 Bolt, my M3P has mild regeneration under the best of circumstances. Has anyone else compared a newish MY's enormous regen braking power to the lame M3P? Is there a reason for the reduced regen on the...

I will do intensive home study this weekend. Thanks!

it doesnt feel significantly different to me, if the cars have been sitting the same amount of time in the garage and have similar battery fullness. That was the case in my test drive: both cars parked sitting next to each other in the same climate, had the relative same (mid-level) charge...

Dashcam on the other hand (if local storage exists and is configured properly) is always recording as long as the car is awake, other than specifically when you turn it off. The last hour of dashcam footage should always be there (if it's working) and this is where sentry moves the last 10...

Today I drove my friend's brand-new (2022) Model Y (Dual Motors, not Performance). The regenerative braking in his car is significantly stronger compared to my 2021 MP3. It feels like I am hitting the brakes when I get off the gas. Is this normal? Is the regen braking in the Performance model...

Thank you. Will read and learn.

As soon as I exit the car to unlock my gate at night, the lights go out. Now I stumble in the dark trying to insert the key into the pad lock. How do I keep the lights on to illuminate this task?

Let's not bow down to the gods of technological progress to the point of surrendering our oversight over that process. It's in the core interest of any Silicon Valley company to present itself as being fully in charge and in command of defining "progress". But any assumption that Musk, Ellison...
