I would agree with Zcd1. I've been happy with the performance of the PA4's in snow and rain and with the right PSI (45-46 for me) they are good in the dry weather as well. Overall, an outstanding tire in this size. If I didn't go for the 245 to have slightly more sidewall and puncture...

Thanks for the responses. I found that 45-46 psi is the sweet spot for these tires. They were way too mushy at 42. I’m happy again with the car and it drives well on these high perf snow tires, but am counting down the days to getting the summer ps4’s back on when it warms back up.

I put PA4 high performance winter tires sized 245/35R20s on my P3D. They really feel mushy, much more than the sottozero 3’s I ran previously on my 2013 M5. Psi is 41/42 all around but after some research I found that several manufacturers will recommend 3-5 psi above published numbers in the...

I installed PA4 245/35/20's on mine a couple of weeks ago. I went with the 245 based on advice from others in the forums to add a little more rubber which gives a small increase in rim protection. They ride fine and handle acceleration with ease. Time will tell how they hold up in actual snow...

If the weather is anything like where I live you have to prepare for the unexpected as we can experience 4 seasons in a day starting in Oct and Nov. We went down to the 20s for a week and the PS4S no worky so I also put on snows. Of course it went back up to the 60s so there’s no winning. I...

Congrats on your new car. I pick mine up in Utah tomorrow. Here’s the link to the one I’m using, which may be somewhat dated but was the best all in one doc I could find. Good luck! Model-3-Delivery-Checklist.pdf

Either the Tesla 20” wheels are weaker than other manufacturers or we’re just hearing more about the bad experiences. More people talking about 20’s? More media coverage bring attention to it? I’ve driven on 20’s for 3 years and 3 winters in a snowy state with heavy cars, 2 different BMW M5’s...

Ordered 8/24, Changed color 9/4. Advisor confirmed that US orders are once again being processed but were halted for a time due to overseas orders. He seems to think a September delivery is still likely for me due to end of quarter push. Cars are being built in color batches as others have...

Order secured. White/white performance ordered 8/24. I’m told patience is a virtue now... No matter how slow it is for delivery, it will be way faster and massively less painful than the wait I had for my BMW M3 and European delivery experience. I ordered in May, drove the car in Germany for a...

Thanks for the input everyone. We limit our tax liability and what we owe each year through limited deductions and other methods, but can make a small change to lead to more liability and take advantage of the credit. If I included the loss of the tax credit, potential 2k shipping cost, unknown...

Sold as used. No state rebate but you’re right on the fed tax credit. That’s another 1,875 going against the used car numbers, assuming I can change my deductions to owe more and take advantage of the credit.

I put money down with Tesla on what I think is a good deal on a slightly used (160 miles) black with white interior P3D. It includes all the expected performance components including 20" wheels, aluminum pedals, upgraded brakes, and carbon fiber spoiler. There were no actual pictures available...

I decided to consider this model option too late. After speaking to sales today, there's only a couple left in inventory that qualified for shipping to the west and none with white interior. Kudos to all those that jumped on it early and got what you wanted.

Yes I’ve driven the P3D+ and thought it was great, which led me to where I am now, and am not considering another brand, instead just wrestling with the question of when to buy. I chose to wait on my last BMW M3 and was was able to get the competition package because I did. It made a big...

I'm in a similar boat as a growing number of others in these forums. My '16 340i M-sport lease is up in October and I'm wavering on taking delivery at the beginning of the cold weather season (snow comes in Nov and lasts through Mar); I'd need to immediately buy snow tires, and maybe wheels to...

Why? Looks like you have the performance 3 so I’m curious what you miss about the S5 that has you questioning the decision. The S5 looks like a recent model.

That’s my same car, which also has the track package. Probably my favorite all around BMW that I’ve owned including a 2011 M3 Comp and 2013 M5. I think you’re right, I’ll get over the things quickly that had me locked into that brand.

2011 M3 -> 2013 M5 -> 2016 340i -> M3P+ (will order for Oct. delivery)

I’m trying to talk myself out of buying a Tesla after driving one recently but after weeks of research haven’t been able to find a legit reason yet. Similar to the OP, the only thing I’m hanging onto is the sound of a quality exhaust which really connected me to the driving experience up to this...

Hello everyone. I'm a new member considering my first Tesla, and as of now planning for a September order as I get ready to turn in my '16 BMW 340i xdrive, currently on lease. I honestly never thought I'd consider an electric car but they're just too good now to pretend you can find a better...

Same situation. Final payment in September and I hope the pricing and availability of the M3P remains through then. I can't believe I'm considering a Tesla, it was never in the cards but is undeniable now.
