    Uber with a Tesla

    the irs mileage deduction is $0.58 / mile. so if waze is paying $0.58 / mi you'll end up with net $0 taxable income. for uber the mileage deduction offsets about 75% of my earnings. so the amount left over to pay taxes on is pretty small. since model 3 is so efficient it doesn't actually cost...

    Help Me Tesla Peers! Contemplating Trading/Selling 10 Day Old Model 3 AWD for Performance

    p3d- and p3d+ are both awesome and equally worth it. tbh i wanted the + but when the - became available i could do 60 months $915. if i went for a + i probably would have had to do 72 months.

    Swap new 18s + $$ for 19s?

    consider running the 18s until the tires are worn out and need replacing. then get tsportline 19" wheels and tires. i think you could sell the 18" wheels on craigslist or ebay.

    Help Me Tesla Peers! Contemplating Trading/Selling 10 Day Old Model 3 AWD for Performance

    i got a red/white p3d- about a month ago. that is definitely the way to go. but if i was in your shoes i'd stick with the awd you already have and hope for a chance to buy the performance unlock in the future. the $5-10k you are going to lose would come in handy for your next tesla in 2024 :)

    Staggered tire setup for P3D- with 18-inch Aeros

    i was thinking mainly of best 0-60 launches in a straight line. 99% of the time i drive like a grandpa but occasionally i need to pwn a mustang or subaru wrx at a red light. when i watched a couple youtube reviews i realized most performance tire buyers care about cornering.

    Staggered tire setup for P3D- with 18-inch Aeros

    you said "You'll never break traction with AWD" but is that mainly due to the traction control? i was just guessing that better grip might unlock more power because the traction control system wouldn't kick in.

    Staggered tire setup for P3D- with 18-inch Aeros

    destructure, would the wider rears relax the traction control system a bit?

    Staggered tire setup for P3D- with 18-inch Aeros

    what’s your plan for rotations? side to side or none? i’m guessing 255 is an ok option for the rear too eh?

    P3D- is absolutely ridiculous!

    I picked up my Red/White P3D- a week ago July 24th. I had high expectations obviously since i plunked down $52.9k. But the car exceeded my expectations in every way: insanely powerful, ride/noise is good, audio system is a joy. TeslaCam is really fun I ended up recording a rear-ender in the lane...
