    I used my Model 3 Performance in a drift event.

    Recently there was a drift event at a track I used to race supermoto at. So I decided to enter my Model 3 Performance in it. Going through tech was interesting. The guy checking the car's said he had no idea where to start and asked "what am I supposed to tech on this?". I planned on...

    Will the cybertruck be able to haul motorcycles in the bed.

    I've got my reservation in for a cybertruck and I currently have a Model 3 Performance. I really enjoy motorsports. My plan is to replace my model 3 with the cybertruck, and get a dedicated track car that I can tow to the track with the cybertruck. I also like taking my sportbike (Ninja H2 SX...

    Video racing a Challenger Redeye in my Model 3 Performance

    I entered in a street style race at the local dragstrip. Basically they run the races starting at the finish line of the drag strip and race an 1/8th mile down the shutdown area. Do it's run on asphalt that has never been prepped. So it's the closest you can get to racing on the street without...

    Every time I enter my car, it initiates a phone call to my phone?

    My Samsung Galaxy S8 recently did a software update. Ever since then car has been acting weird when I get in. When I open the door the music starts playing like normal but as I get in the music stops and the Card that shows up when your making a phone call pops up like I'm mid call and it shows...

    Thinking of getting 265/35r18 tires for track use.

    I've been looking into tires a lot lately while I'm waiting for my konig 18x9.5 rims to come in. I'm leaning towards the Hankook ventus RS-4 tires based on other forum members suggestion and the balance between tread wear, traction, cost and weight. The ideal size for my model 3 performance is...

    A couple videos of bracket racing a couple weekends ago.

    I entered in a couple bracket races a few weekends ago. I was running in two classes, 1 was basic bracket racing and the other was "Package" racing. For those that don't know brackett racing is a form of drag racing where racers estimate the time it will take them to drive from the starting line...

    Found out that P3D+ isn't always faster with 18" wheels

    I went to the drag strip this past weekend and did some bracket racing. There were 3 clubs racing and I entered in 2 of them. I ended up winning one of the clubs events. There was another Tesla Model 3 Performance racing in the 3rd club. His car was identical to mine except he had the Tsportline...

    Does anyone have a clue where this bolt might have come off my Model 3?

    I know it might be a long shot but this bolt was found where I park my Model 3 Performance. My son kicked it so I'm not sure exactly where it was laying. My Model 3 had been the only thing in the area it was found since I brought the car home so it most likely came from it. I'd like to avoid...

    My Model 3 Performance vs a street race truck.

    This past weekend I went to two racing events. Friday night was a street style race setup in the shutdown area of the dragstrip. The surface has never had any racing prep done to it. It was 1/8 mile and started by a flashlight. If you watch street outlaws you might recognize the area and the...

    18in Model 3 Performance wheel options for track use?

    I've searched and only been able to find wheel and tire threads with multiple posts arguing about tires making it hard to get a grasp on the wheel options. I'm looking to buy a set of wheels for my Model 3 Performance for track use. The 18s seem to have more tire options so I'm leaning towards...

    I did some more 1/2 mile racing in P3D

    I went out to another 1/2 mile event to do some drag racing. Last time my best MPH was 136mph before the last 5% increase. This time my best was 140.977mph. I also removed my rear seat for some weight reduction. I did about 20 runs and only went to charge once. I had a pretty good time. I...

    Rematch vs Lamborghini Huracan

    Awhile back I raced a Huracan and won. The driver didn't want a rematch that day. After posting the video online people lost their mind and couldn't believe it. The Huracan owner then contacted me and asked for a rematch. So we signed up for another 1/2 mile event yesterday. It was about 50°...

    I raced a McLaren 650 in a 1/2 mile.

    I attended a half mile event this past Saturday on an airstrip. I'll do a full write up later but figured I'd make a thread for my race against a McLaren and my rematch against a Huracan separately. After my rematch with the Huracan I asked the owner of the McLaren if I could get a race with...

    First time taking Model 3 Performance to road course. W/ videos.

    Fair warning this thread is going to be a work in progress as I get videos uploaded and get time to write this up. I try to do a few track days a year in my cars and on my bikes. But this past weekend was the first time I've been to the track since I bought my Model 3 Performance at the end of...

    Roll race Video vs supercharged mustang

    A guy had a supercharged mustang that made 650whp. He was reluctant to race because he knew he'd have traction issues. So we did a rolling start from 40mph. Mustang was supercharged, manual trans and on nitto drag radials.

    After racing the Supra the I raced the owners wife in their full bolt on GTR in a couple drag races. We weren't sure where the quarter mile ended do we set the finish line at the end of the straight where the white barricades along the side of the track meet the red barricades. First race the...

    I raced a new Supra video.

    I did a track day this past weekend and had a blast. I'm working on getting the longer videos ready to upload. But at end of the day a few of us decided to do a few drag races down the straight. Here are 2 races against an A90 Supra. We weren't sure exactly where a 1/4 mile ended so we set the...

    Are the B pillar cameras different for hardware 3.0 vs 2.5?

    I need to replace a B Pillar camera assembly. My car is Hardware 3. I haven't had any luck checking the parts catalog on my phone to compare part numbers. But I've found some for sale online for 2017-2019 Model 3. The B pillar assembly comes with the camera and some hardware in it. Do all the B...

    I raced a Huracan and people can't believe the result.

    A couple months ago I raced a Lamborghini Huracan at a 1/2 mile event. Someone linked the video in an article and people are losing their minds because I won. I saw a Huracan at the event and was curious how my Model 3 Performance would compare. So I asked the owner if he'd race me and he said...

    Problem with My Model 3 and the fix.

    I had an issue popping up occassionally. Car is a Sept 2019 built Model 3 Performance about 1,500-2,000 miles when the issue started. At slow speeds like in a parking lot if I let off of the throttle too fast as soon as regen kicked in it would feel like the front wheels would lock up and it...

    I'm getting the runaround trying to schedule service

    There is a service center about 35 min from my house. Part of why I bought my model 3 performance was because I was 1 in range for mobile service and 2 only just over half an hour from a service center. My car was delivered with a couple paint chips that the delivery specialist said Tesla...

    A few videos of my Model 3 kicking butt at the drag strip.

    I took my Model 3 Performance to the drag strip. I only had 2 losses out of 11 races (3 counting a red light). The 2 losses were by .018 and .18 seconds. Here are some videos. I might upload more later as well but they weren't as interesting. Did 13 runs total and took some friends out onto the...

    Raced a Huracan, Vipers, some Hellcats and others with videos

    Yesterday I went to a 1/2 mine racing event in my Model 3 Performance. I expected I'd do pretty good off of the line but get run down by most cars before the finish line. There are a lot of high horsepower cars that show up. A lot of people underrate their horsepower as well. But I got a bunch...

    Optimum temperature for battery performance, drag racing

    I'm taking my 2019 model 3 to a 1/2 mile airport racing event. I know the car is a fast 1/4 mile car and the acceleration drops off drastically above 120 so it's not ideal for 1/2 mile. But I want to see how it compares to my old modified Camaro I've taken there in the past. I know that the...

    Is working towards a 360 view? Video

    Today I tapped on the model 3 on my model 3's display. It zoomed out into an overhead view. For a brief second it showed my nearby work that was sitting off at about a 10 o'clock angle from the car (the direction from the cab to over the driver's headlight). But it disappeared after a couple...
