I’d let your insurance know that you are or convinced the car can be repaired fully in this estimate. And speak to the shop itself and alt them know ‘quietly’ that you’d prefer this written off. Sometimes getting the right guy and ‘scratching his back’ may help. Usually if I’m in an accident...

Bro i think the body shop is going to ask for more $ eventually. Your hit is definately a total loss tbh. Shops want to make $ and they make nothing on a total loss. I’d ask the shop for a full detailed breakdown of the parts they are sourcing as oem original (new) and not off some salvage...

And no CF spoiler. This not a P.

you do all know that every decal is avail in China right? They are the mecca of auto decal manuf lol. Anyone can slap a plaid badge on a new 3 and take some pics. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Tesla does not refer to ‘model anything’ on any of their line up’s…not for some time now. Its T or now T E S L A and a dual...

That’s funny lol. Not sure how one can compare a large SUV to a small sedan. Totally different use cases. For you maybe that works! That’s like saying an exotic lambo is faster than it’s suv Urus so I’ll just buy the lambo then. (Most would lol) but if you need space and you like an SUV...

Fyi…In the 7 seater Y, the middle row adjusts forward as one wishes to give more space to the rear. Also, one can seat 6 and still have one side folded down for extra luggage/cargo. Hey whatever you decide…welcome to the Tesla family :)

Well let’s see…what are typical price variances between bmw 3 series and 5, between Audi a4 and A6/S7, between C class and E550/E63? Willing to bet Tesla price variance between the 3 models and S models are now priced industry standard in terms of % diff based upon trim levels. Maybe a bit more...

Saw this new Performance M3 up in Canada for 67.8k cnd. That’s 49.5k usd. …looks like they selling off Perf models to make way for whatever/whenever the new one is.

Have you thought about a model Y 7 seater? Newer tech, Netflix/Disney etc, faster processing, new warranty, way more rear seat space, way easier to get in and out, larger trunk cavity for trips, wireless phone charging, faster Supercharging, door pockets, more cup holder space, better...

He’s correct. I have a 22’ LR/boost with 20” v1 oem rims and ASeason tires and I can tell my range hit is approx 10%-12% over the 18’s.

I’ve had it for 20 months now and don’t see any difference unless you use the extra power and have a heavy foot. Which I may add AB tends to unleash in most lol 😂 ABoost obviously means one can use the extra power on demand…and I’d assume most do or why else buy it? So to answer your question...

You say PotAto and I say PotAHto…🤷🏽‍♂️ Same sh-t lol 😂

Ok so do we then refer to the non-refresh as ‘legacy’? Either way there has to be some distinction bud. Call it highland, call it ‘new3’ call it 2023+ refresh…there will now always be a distinction. For MS it’s been 2021+ refresh or pre-2021 or ‘Raven ‘ or pre-‘Raven’ or pre- facelift (2016)...

Curious if you found the suspension any better in the 2023 tester Vs your 2019 Raven adaptive susp? Not so much road noise…just susp feel. There are some threads stating the former adaptive suspension was actually softer than current. Given the trade in values, I’d prob keep the Raven. If you...

Lol. The discussion has been about sportiness of the 3 Vs Y. I was referring totally to acceleration :) And at constant speed, the Y actually feels more refined. But…Sportiness was the question and it has everything to do with accel and handling, Ie. Which car exhibits a sportier feel..not...

Tbh man I feel it has more to do with refinement. The 3 has a more go kart ish sporty dynamic and thus acceleration will ‘feel’ stronger. I’ve tested this with a few friends and they all say the 3 has a faster punch at any speed regardless what the Speedo says. The Y truly is a bit more refined...

Are you otherwise quite happy with your Raven? I’ve had a 2016 90D, a 2017 P100D (work leases) and lastly 2018 100D until 2022 …so have an idea what you mean about USS and its importance. At this time will you receive a decent return on your Raven? Other than uss, there is alot to gain from...

I own both the 22’ MYP and 22’ M3 LR/boost. 3LR/boost is a sheer pleasure to drive. Handling and acceleration is best in class. I prefer driving it to the MYP while my wife prefers the latter. The MYP in companion feels more refined and heavier…less tossable but way better interior space to...

No debate the S is a better daily cruiser than the 3 :) But not a better handling vehicle. I don’t believe this impacts what they will do for a new PM3. Tesla has a Perf version of every one of their S3XY lineup and that won’t change anytime soon given the profit margins on them. I do agree...

Hence the ‘ speculation’ of something different with their Perf line. It will announce…when they are ready to. Tesla won’t abandon one of their more popular and higher profit M3 trim lines

Why not? The bmw M3 out does the 550i (not M5) The Audi S4 outdoes the A6 (not S7) The C63 amg outdoes the E550 (not E63) I’m equating this to the LR S….not plaid. A ludicrous 3 would not have much impact on S sales tbh. Different animals.

So they essentially kept pushing the earlier date on you when you had a sept 2nd date confirmed? It’s normal practice for them to want to deliver prior to an end of month. But the fact that they did this knowing the price was changing a day later…again I’d speak to a lawyer. Have you called or...

Did tesla assign you that specific delivery date? One day prior to price shift? I’d speak to a lawyer as that would be suspect.

And if the new PM3 gets a ludicrous mode and 0-60 2.7? I’d wait tbh

Real world PM3 numbers seem to outdo Teslas oem specs. Many videos on this. IF… and i mean if Tesla has been slightly limiting the current output of the Perf 3, then it’s possible a ‘ludicrous mode’ remapping/unlocking of power delivery could irk out another .2 to .3 sec off the spec. 3.1 to...

I’m thinking a ‘ludicrous mode’ option…not plaid. They still want to differentiate between S and 3. Ie. 2.7-2.8 sec 0-60 spec. Maybe 2.5 real world. This would be the absolute best Tesla on the road imo. Handling and power wrapped into a neat package. This would sway me to upgrade my 22’ LR...

Hey I love my 22’ M3LR/boost! (Hw3 and USS and already 576km range..not the reduced). I run 20” v1 rims/tires, black tint, gun metal decals, carbon fibre interior trim. To me handling is incredible as is the power :) I have no inclination to upgrade to the new highland until I’ve driven this...

This marketplace listing has expired and has been removed.

Rented my former 2021 M3 SR on Turo and was ok..until it wasn’t. About 7-8 drivers in, someone took it off roading through camp trails etc and rocks and mud all inside and out. Literally Trashed it. Scratches on it within 4 months. Sold it. Never again. Replaced with my now 2022 M3 LR…not for...

You can cover the little rear view mirror camera and avoid crazy nags. It will still nag but less frequent. I never signed up to be ‘watched’ by tesla at all times tbh.

I agree wholeheartedly. My former Lexus and Toyota cars all has rear x alerts and it was a fantastic safety feature. With our 3 and Y, there is a constant nag in the back of the mind as to whether I’m missing something. There have been instances where I checked both ways over a few times and...

It’s not that simple tbh. It’s the torque that I believe is the issue. One can accelerate decently well in Chill mode without the need for head snapping or even feeling the constant tug. Ie. I drive my elderly FILaw to his dialysis 3x a week. When we commute the 10 min to the hosp, at times it’s...

Or at the very least allow the left toggle button to be set to switch between the two…option for the scroll function. That way can switch asap. This can be done even now…no + mode needed

Not sure the lags at all buddy :) Auto gear, adaptive susp, haptic buttons/yoke, noise cancelling, suede alcatera everywhere, auto open/close doors (X) , swivel screens, rear screen, rear wireless chargers, tri motor /carbon sleeve…the list goes on… It’s more a matter of lifecycle of the S/X Vs...

I see your use case for sure as a consumer. 👍🏽 and I’m sure many agree with you. I’m just not sure T sees it the same. If time loss is the issue, wouldn’t they rather you upgrade a model and pay for the higher range? Hence…get the premium S if you want to ‘buy’ yourself the luxury of less...

Keep in mind the revenue mode/potential of the SC chargers when they calculate and consider range Vs cost/benefit. Some degree of efficiency improvement for sure…likely to occur, but I don’t think Tesla will ever look to make their own ‘gas stations’ service less end less. EM has mentioned on...

I have a model 3 LR with a yoke and stalks. To me best of both worlds if one wants a yoke.🤷🏽‍♂️ My buddy has a 2021 MS and he drove my car about a month back and his reaction was priceless lol ‘bro…it’s so damn easy to switch gears and signal…I forgot..everything is where it should be and...

What you’re describing is essentially ‘lose the torque’ but give me the acceleration. Ie. Ice car lol Funny I’m in the same boat. I’ve been driving my LR/boost and never in chill mode until 3 weeks ago when I got a mild concussion. I had to switch to chill mode right away. Now that I’m...

Thanks! Is there any data to support? I’ve been searching for the specs but oddly cannot find. If so, roughly 3lbs per wheel lighter or around 29lbs/wheel Vs 32. Not bad :) I run the.V1’s with Yoko Avid + ASeasons and I don’t seem to see any greater kw/Km usage Vs the 19” summers I used to run :)

Old thread but wondering if anyone happens to know the weight of these V1 20” grey wheels Vs the newer heavy Ubers? Thx!

Buddy there is no way M3 will get the range of the SLR. They would cannibalize sales or it. Not for the price they sell M3 for.

For those worried about not wanting a refresh model for a year or two ..worried about new body issues…look at model S. 2020 to 2021…good refreshed interior, wider body panels/suspension, motors, heat pumps, ventilation etc I don’t see refreshed 2021’s owners facing any particular new set of...

Odd given the frame and suspension are identical between a late 2016+ 90d and 100d or 75d. I’d assume a 100kw pack would fit unless you have 14 clusters not 16.

Nope. Well..what does your acceleration mode say? Chill and..? Take it to an SC and they’ll run the vin and tell you asap.

Buyers had the 60D model that came as a locked 75D. Option to unlock further down the road. Its both range and performance I suppose. At some point, value would equate. depending on individual needs. Ie: commute increased, more trips than planned…number of reasons. Perhaps winter in N...

Never believe EM. If tesla says we won’t be offering a software unlock…take it with a grain of salt. Tesla is notorious for backpedaling or stating and acting contrary. Could be a revenue/sales driven decision 🤷🏽‍♂️ Ie. 1. Drive up S sales with a cheaper model 2. When sales dip again, offer...

Logical. But then if weights are identical? Would denote same battery and same motors no? Tesla did this back in 2017 with the 100D models. At the time power was software locked and they offered an unlock Vs newer 2018 100D’s that came shipped with the newer specs. So in essence Tesla shipped...

Oddly I’ve had boost for my LR since Jan 2022 and I’ve maybe checked the update list 2x in the first few months. At this point I just wait a bit before installing and I don’t bother to check. Logically if I wait ..chances are it’s ok. Couldn’t be bothered to have to check all the time. So far...

Perhaps but they come in handy daily in our garage …stop around 39-42cm and allows garage door to close and max out walk space in front of the car. Also helps when backing in a grocery parking lot. Wife loves it 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’m at 60k (Km) driven yesterday :) Jan 2022 delivery …coming up on 20 months. M3 LR/boost. I know I’m not 5 yrs but I have a lot of mileage. I have to say that mechanically, the car has been practically flawless. A few minor gap/trim issues at the start and one parking brake that made a...
