Just my opinions: Highland in general doesn't look any better than the old Model 3. I don't know why they bothered updating. 2.9 sec 0-60 will be fun. Stock Model 3 already understeers badly, so wider wheels in the rear will only make it worse. Maybe the new suspension can stiffen the rear...

Agreed, the quick camber change on the front arms from both companies is a marketing gimmick. Getting your toe back where you want it before/after every race day would be a major headache and your rear alignment would still need attention. After 5 winters in a Tesla, I also would not suggest...

If Tesla part numbers work like any of the OEM companies I have worked for, they wouldn’t change part numbers if the part is back-compatible, just make a letter state “revision.” Then, they can cancel the old number and don’t need to keep an endless supply in warehouses for servicing the out of...

Good to read. Side by side picture would be great. There must be a reason the part numbers are different. Expansion gaps is where I usually start noticing the ball joints on the lower arms going bad.

I think your terminology is going to get you mixed answers. Define "normal 19" wheels" and "sport brakes." Also the performance rotors do not have a step, they expose a step on the hub that exists on all model 3s because the rotors are thinner. I did this brake swap on my 2018 LR AWD. Assuming...

Following. I really want to know what the Highland compression arms look like and if it's interchangeable. (1344354-00-A). Parts catalog confirms they're new. It's probably my least favorite part on the car. I tear the OEM rubber bushing every 6 months or the ball joint starts clunking. The...

If I had to bet, the original Model 3 brake design were farmed out to Brembo. They had to work with the hub step they were given. An extra step in the 20” wheel costs nothing when it’s already on the lathe. If it is gone (just covered up) it will be because Tesla checked their load history data...

I was listening to Ride the Lightning podcast and they conducted this poll: Based on this poll and many comments here, Tesla could paint the standard brakes red, stick spoilers and front lips on with 3M tape, come up with another set of 35lb wheels that ride poorly and are prone to damage...

A few things I've done in the past months which helped reduce creaking noises. 1) Check the pin at the bottom middle of the rear seat. #7 in the diagram above does not fit tight and falls off. 2) The "deck" behind and above the rear seat has some added insulation that is on my 2023 M3 but was...

Dows adds 35 minutes off route. Yes, it's an inconvenient option.

I'm with you. I make the Waterloo to twin cities trip often. I know the old Albert Lea superchargers that were at a hotel/HyVee had some reliability issues, but it would have been nice if they stayed because the new but already outdated V2s are busy on holidays and weekends. 63/Rochester...

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-model-3-max-tire-size-235-50-r18.303911/#post-7914925 It's tire and setup specific, plus tolerances as @dsgerbc mentioned. Mount one and test it first. Certain 27.3" diameter tires are clearing the upright shown in the thread attached.

I bought a set of powerflex on black friday too. We might be the first Tesla customers? I haven't seen any reviews. I'm hoping they hold up. Lifetime warranty sold me on them. I think I've replaced 6 sets of arms now in some shape or form (2 torn bushings, 2 clunking ball joints, 1 installing...

The disappointment for me today is it doesn’t seem EV tech has advanced in 4+ years, but vehicles continue to become more expensive. (If they could make a 500 mile truck, the 500 mile car should be easily achievable). IMO Tesla needed to hit their originally advertised range OR price to be...

Nope. The car I bought didn't come to a stop with regen braking (one pedal driving), didn't precondition for supercharging which made it super slow in winter (although 2018 supercharging $/kwh was better), acceleration was slower, didn't have Spotify, that's just big changes I can remember. I'm...

Better chart showing changes:

New pax is out too!

Thanks for posting the diagram. My rear seat is driving me nuts now too, especially since getting cold. That part 6 washer was way inside the seat and part 7 sleeve had fallen off. I put it back in place and taped it in place because the retention fingers were not holding it on. Unfortunately...

I don't think so. Would be nice if RockAuto included a picture.

I’d say no. The ball joint is the weak part of that design. I’ve tried those Suspensia parts and you will be replacing them again in 3-6 months.

More confirmation that 235/50r18 Kuhmo Majesty 9 Solus does fit. Strangely, it looks like there’s more space than my 255/40r19 tires, but maybe that’s just the width difference making it look different.

I think the XL tires are selected because the recommended pressures are pretty high to get better efficiency. 42 psi is what’s in my door jamb. Quickly googling Honda Clarity tire pressure says 36 psi. The standard energy saver tires only have max pressure of 44psi, XL usually 50psi.

I find that highly unlikely as there's only one part number from Koni.

My opinion. I wouldn't run those on stock suspension & alignment. They're going to stick out beyond the front fender by 1/2 inch.

I'm skeptical the top mount is the clunking cause, but please follow up with your experience. I'd buy a set if it means I can swap suspension without compressing springs each time.

Thanks. Excellent explanation. Matches my trial-and-error method over the weekend.

I just put my OEM suspension back on the car for winter and aligned. Does this screen tell me the steering wheel is 2.4 degrees to the right compared to front wheels, or does it tell me the steering wheel is 2.4 degrees left compared to the front wheels so the car has applied a correction 2.4...

Price drop.

Yes. I've found and fixed multiple nvh squeaks/thunks/creaks on OEM and aftermarket suspension parts. It can be frustrating and Tesla suspension certainly has a few different durability issues. Service will do their best, but they're not always real experienced and certainly not invested enough...

I've purchased the Suspensia lower control arm and sway bar end link. The ball joints started clunking in less than 3 months. I wouldn't recommend, but if you're willing to do the work, the rubber bushing may be OK. My experience has been that even the OEM ball joint on the lower control arm...

Good to know 18” clear! For the price, these are probably still my favorite wheels. My dog checking toe:

Price dropped.

Please write a review when you have these installed and have some drive time. I see Powerflex has a USA website too which sells them in pairs. They're expensive, but if they stand by a lifetime warranty, I think it's a bargain. With the OEM control arms or any of the other aftermarket options...

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing Mountain Pass Party Box for Model 3. Please add to the discussion here.

@CaptainCremeS Come to Cedar Rapids on Sunday if you can. Hawkeye Downs is a super fun asphalt oval track. Lots of slalom and lane changes and 60 second runs. I ran 700tw all season tires last time I was there so don’t worry about if you have parts yet.

Woah 🤯 yeah usually 7-10 runs all events I’ve done in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois

Thanks for posting those. I appreciate it. You all are definitely closer to a few key cones than I got, unless it's just the aspect ratio messing up my perception. GC also noticeably tighter around some of those sweepers where I tried to "miata loop" them lol. My local region started making...

Great meeting you all this week in Lincoln. If anyone has run video they’re willing to share, I’d be interested in seeing them. Did anyone convince Ryan to join the forum? Sounds like he had a rough night getting home while towing. CAM Mustang towed him to a supercharger. Has to be a first. I...

I'm in row 6. Thought that was pretty good.

Just park in your air-conditioned toy hauler RV like the first couple paddock rows.

Picture is unhappy. That rubber bushing is supposed to be captured in the arm and keep the arm centered between the sheet metal flanges attached to the body of the car. Your "squeaky bed" comment is exactly what mine sounded like and I had it happen on both sides of my 2018. I doubt there's any...

^ this is my bet. You can find the arms on EBay for around $45, or go up from there for new, or arms with spherical bushings.

I was at Chicago tour too. Agreed, pretty fast course with little grip. Watching you drive the Model 3 was really impressive, especially on OEM tires. I usually can’t watch the other Teslas because they’re directly before or after me. I’d love to see what you can do with your RE71Rs or even in...

Some thumbnail shots. I didn't save the full pictures. Wouldn't recommend with the Hypergram. Clears, but you get any pebbles or junk in there and it marks up the inside of the barrel. Tsportline still close, but better.
