    Vendor Official Signature Wheel Gallery | Fitment Q&A Thread

    Wish I could go as low as you guys too. I still scrape on some speed bumps even at this height. Love these wheels though 😁

    Vendor Official Signature Wheel Gallery | Fitment Q&A Thread

    So is there a trick to getting these off the hubs? The lug bore size seems like it may not have much tolerance

    High speed acceleration - revisited

    The article where he said it is here Unplugged Performance Reveals Its Model S Plaid Pikes Peak Racer I'm not expecting power levels this high in the 3 obviously, but it's exciting to think about the possibilities of the other improvements. Torque vectoring, improved thermals, no/less power...

    High speed acceleration - revisited

    Edit: This is in response to Sam1's post about the plaid s. I apprently didn't quote it correctly Ramping up is an understatement. It hits peak power and pretty much just stays there. I thought for sure Tesla would solve acceleration drop off with the trimotors by just running the third one as...

    Fairfax county tax assessment

    This I live in Fairfax county too and made the 'mistake' of buying an M3P last year. It was significantly cheaper last year because I bought it at the end of June, but you can imagine what my bill looks like this year :eek:

    Sasha Anis is a genius magician

    Ha! Definitely considering that. I haven't seen quite as many reviews of those and I'm trying to do the responsible thing and wait. We'll see how long that lasts.

    Sasha Anis is a genius magician

    I'm surprised at how many of us are from VA/DMV here. I'm really interested in the MPP Sports, and hearing yet another glowing review makes me feel like it's the right choice. I've done most maintenance work myself the last 10 years and after reading and watching videos, I feel like I'd be...

    How noticeable is the acceleration boost from a dual motor long range to a performance Model 3?

    Maybe the 20" wheels are making it slower after 60?

    Wow, we need to find another way to heat EVs

    Just a slight variation on what everyone is saying--it's not cold that affects range, but rather a cold battery. You'll get closer to the rated range if you leave right after charging is finished (and avoid speed and the heater). Until it gets down to about 25F or less, I'm getting close to...

    Last car before you ordered your model 3?

    2017 Civic Type R Admittedly a different kind of car. I have a thing about buying cars that are great all-around vehicles. The Type R had 4 doors and a hatch, was fuel efficient, assumedly reliable but was still pretty capable. I did like the looks (they're polarizing to say the least), but...

    Latest Price Drop Discussion

    To the question "what other public tech company reduces prices", one that comes to mind is the video game console market. As they realize efficiencies with newer, more efficient chips, they often release a cheaper 'lite' model. We all know our Teslas are basically video game consoles these...

    Latest Price Drop Discussion

    Not much to add to what has been already said, but I took delivery of my white P3D June 29th. Barely two weeks later it sucks to get hit with the double whammy of price drops, resulting in my config being $6500 cheaper ($4675 if you include the extra tax credit I got) plus taxes. Still, I'm...
