I would be very surprised if they didn't raise the price in connection with the refresh.

I know that Ringside in the Fox Tower used to, but it's since been closed (sadly). Find out and let us know :)

Dig those VMRs

In that context, yes I agree with you. But from the pure product experience standpoint, it’s hard to make the case that LFP is better. Most people aren’t considering geopolitical chess when deciding which car to get. They just want one that looks good and provides for a good user experience .

It still lives!

Why not? The rear casting isn’t “the back half” of the car. The Model 3 equivalent of that area is nearly identical in overall shape. Front casting would be a non-starter, though.

Better idea is to just redesign the Model 3 BIW so that it can use the Model Y rear casting. They are almost identical cars underneath.

Could also be 4680, which are between current 2170s and LFP in terms of energy density. I don't think it's likely, but possible.

Tesla really nailed it with this wheel design. Works so well.

LFP is a good example of how good Tesla and Elon are at marketing. Nickel is better on nearly every metric that interfaces with the user experience and results in a lighter, better performing vehicle, and yet they have convinced many LFP is superior.

You must not be familiar with roundabouts?

Thanks but I’ll keep my nickel-based battery. The 100% daily charge gimmick is of no benefit to most.

I was about to reply with the same thing but you beat me to it 😆

Just noticed there's 13 superchargers currently under construction the PNW (including McDermitt). Great progress from the Tesla Charging team. Hoping they do Sisters next :)

Agree it was too close for comfort! Luckily the wheels are still rash-free.

Better yet, get the MPP big rotor kit.

Spring has finally arrived in the PNW.

One of these is not like the others.

The white cabinets are the "Power Cabinets," which Tesla provides. The transformer is provided by the utility and is generally a big green box.

These wheels look great. Not too flashy. Nicely done.

Couldn't agree more.

No. Yes.

Sorry for your loss, but 103, that’s amazing. She’s part of an incredibly small club having lived that long.

no issues even with 275/35. Link below from a month or so ago in this thread. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/aftermarket-wheels-on-model-3.108607/page-297#post-7492658

Don't get me wrong, they are cool wheels. I guess I'm just a sucker for some good concave.

As cool as the BBS wheels were, these just look at home on Model 3. Dig it.

Nah, 19s are the ideal size. Perfect balance of function/form.

Good luck!

Looks great. Clean wheels.

We have had AAA for over a decade. I’d never trust the Tesla service.

More pics of the whole vehicle!

I've tried this with no luck. My 2019 SR+ was built in May and came with HW2.5. I think I'll just skip over HW3 entirely and get HW4 with my next car in a couple years.

For some reason I think this is actually pretty cool.

Can’t recommend that. Will look awful.

The “new” RWD Model 3 is slower, heavier, less nimbler, and worse charging than the one it replaced. Degradation isn’t really a concern of mine. That’s just a matter of expectations.

I may have misunderstood your question. If you want to go from stock 235/18 to 275/20, then yes it’s totally doable.

Not a fan of the tricycle look. Square is preferred and works best with Model 3 dynamics.

Disagree with the statement that LFP is better than the older nickel pack. It's worse in every metric. The "I can charge to 100% daily!" thing doesn't really seem like much of a feature to me, as it's not how people actually use their vehicles.

Well put.

They look more like the refresh Model X wheels.

I think it looks good. A bit more minimalist. I’m all for it.

Love the wheels.

They were deleted.

Looks great. Time for the customer to get a little dirt on it ;)

This is the right way to do it.

RIP paint.

Model 3 was priced $37-38k from mid-2020 to Q1-2021, and that was with a more expensive nickel pack. There is still room for it to drop more this year if supply/demand justify it.

They're basically identical. For me, I'd go with MPP because Sasha is awesome and MPP is such a gem for the Tesla community. Nothing against TSS, but as a former hardcore tuner/enthusiast type, I appreciate MPP's DNA.

Exactly. The process starts with Tesla applying.

Hopefully Tesla has submitted the right paperwork for it to be added. However, the rebate plan becomes suspended May 1st.
