Was able to get 40 miles and use no energy. It's my record coming down from the ski lodge in Vegas 🤣 In the plaid.

These are not made yet, but wanted to get your opinions on the design. This is setup for a Jeep, so the offsets and center cap configuration are different than what they would be on a CT. With the CT specs, the face would be much more shallow than what is pictured. The center cap/hub would be...

Looks like they've started tunneling at the airport. Snapped this pic a few minutes ago near the Tropicana and Paradise intersection.

Drove about 50 miles this morning fine, got home, installed the holiday update. Went out after it was updated and on my way to the store I took off from a light, heard a thunk instantly and the traction control, regen were gone and the car was nerfed to less than chill mode power. Parked in a...

1 of 30 Bugatti EB 110 Super Sport. A friend arranged for me to spend quite a bit of time inside and out of it looking things over. Was my dream car as a child from the first time I seen it on a magazine cover in 1992. Roughly $4 mil market value. Unfortunately we could not open the engine...

Been waiting a bit for these, they forgot to send the center caps so it'll be a bit longer before I mount them. Monoblock 10k ton forged , in stock arachnid specs for under $2k from Jova. ;) Weight is 26.8 on the fronts, and 28.2 on the rears.

Under high speed braking that the front end was getting a little shaky and did an inspection. Noticed that the tension arm bushings on both sides were torn, so I ordered the MPP sphericals to do a replacement. When they were swapping the arms today, seen that one of the compression arm...

Does anyone have a set of these on a model S that could share a pic? I'm trying to decide if I want to do a 20" track pack wheel replica or the split 5 spoke wheels from jova on my plaid. https://tsportline.com/products/ts5-tesla-model-s-20-inch-wheel-set-of-4 Or this design...

Got my fronts in, waiting on the rears now (backordered). Definitely didn't expect them to feel so light, 12.6 pounds on this one (weight does fluctuate slightly because of manufacturing on CCBs) compared to my OEMs when I weighed them at 28 pounds before installing the girodiscs (can't...

Before I got my UP rear camber arms, I was working in the background with PLM ( Performance Aftermarket Parts | Private Label MFG ) to build an adjustable upper rear camber arm for the refresh S/X. I'm no longer interested in it since my issues have been fixed, but they are looking to still set...

klwtts posted a pic of a new model X plaid (yes I know this is an S forum, but they should have the same setup) rear caliper and it appears to be a caliper cover with an open pot caliper underneath it, like the MYP has now. If you zoom in, you can see a bar on the inside close to the wheel...

FYI seen the plaid price tag drop to $114k today. Also teslarati said that they're offering an extra $3k for any tesla trade-in towards an S/X https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-tsla-discount-trade-in-cars-free-supercharging-sales-demand/

Is anyone else that is using Dragy, experiencing a low sat/validation issue on logs recently? Mine worked perfect until a few weeks ago and now it will barely connect to any satellites and almost every run is invalid. Reading around on some racing forums, it appears others are having similar...

Found a fix for the rear seat squeaking. Works 100% if your noise is coming from the hinge at the bottom of the seat back that connects the 60/40 section. From what I gathered from troubleshooting, part of that hinge has some slack in it, and creating just a little bit of pressure near the...

Tried to retrofit my old model 3 blendmount in the S and it works as long as you grind off the ledge that sticks out...but, it did limit the angle of the rearview mirror maybe in the outer 5% range. It worked perfect for me at my seat configuration, but wouldn't guarantee it for everyone. It...

Honest opinions on what you all think this would be like on a plaid. Just the design itself, not the color. ... sorry for pixelation, I sna

Was reading on the interwebs and couldn't find anything concrete. I have an OBD cable from my model 3 and wanted to hook it up in the plaid, anyone know if the cable will work or not? Was reading the pin layout is different between the older and newer s/x, but the plaid uses a lot of the 3...

Just about everything you need for a track setup to make your car adjustable. Everything is brand new in the box, never installed. As of now I do not plan on selling individual items, prefer to sell it as a full kit. $2200 (total the parts were over $3000 after tax). Located in Vegas...

(Moderator note) This thread was split off from a thread about desired new features for model 3. =========================================================== More power on the top end. I'm easy to please.

Noticed that the price went up on all of the vehicles by a few thousand, except the M3P. Anyone know or think this may mean there's potential for an upgraded model soon? I don't think they would jack up the price on something right before they upgraded it, they would do it after.

Sandy has a great video (as usual) on the Plaid motors. They make the claim in this video that introducing this specific design change, allows Tesla to pull an additional 25% HP, and 25% TQ from the motors. I'm making an assumption here, but having this small segmentation on both ends is...

Hoping someone with a background in motor tech can share some info on this. I watched a few youtube videos concerning the differences between traditional windings and hairpin wiring tech. Porsche claims that the hairpin can produce more torque, and holds sustained power better than traditional...

the new m3p I picked up has a build date of 9/21 but I have functional passenger lumbar. No one else I know has it on the 21's. Did anyone else get it that has a build date towards the end of the model year? Didn't realize it even had it on there until today.

Assuming his doesn't have track mode like our 3's do; he was wanting to use it for a drift day at a local track. Any options available for this other than to pop the fuse like some of the other threads have suggested? Didn't seem like the fuse removal thing was a viable option for the types of...

Swapped out the Pirellis for a set of PS4S, have too many tires and wheels here and need to clear out some space. Tires have less than 100 miles on them, absolutely perfect with no issues. $750 Local pickup only. I will not deliver or meet up except within the city. No holds, first come...

Trading in the car tomorrow for a new M3P, figured I'd do a final dragy in the same exact setup. 2019 M3P stealth, 19" with continental all seasons. The run today was on the same exact setup, with tires that are 2 years old. first runs were done with +/- 10,000 miles on the odo, today it has...

Curious if anyone has ordered a set of the gemini wheels sold with the winter tire package from tesla for the m3p, but ordered the wheels without the tires? Hard to reach our service department and didn't feel like driving all the way over there just to ask. If you did, what was the price on them?

Just pulled off a set (both sides) of compression arms and control arms off a model 3. Main bushings on both are ripped and/or exhausted. This would be a good set of arms to use if you were planning on installing the solid/spherical bearing kits and didn't want your car to be on jack stands...

Sort of jinxed myself a few days ago by talking about how much abuse the car has held up to over 60k+ miles... Power sliding around some stuff last night and had the type of understeer feeling pushing like the front tire sidewalls were flexing a lot. Long story short, looks like the rear...

Happened in San Bernardino. Report says they were speeding, went down 100 feet, but they all survived. Looks like the bottom front of the driver's door may have an "unplugged" performance sticker. Is it anyone on here?

Looks like they may have implemented a speed sensitive power nerfing metric based on your SOC below 20% now. I just noticed when the car reached 19% SOC about 80mph, 4 dots popped up on the accelerator bar. Was off the highway a few minutes later below 45 and it was 3 dots. Slowed down at an...

Anyone notice the alarm sensitivity is increased after the update a few days ago? Had my car up on jacks at least a dozen times in the past year and never had an issue. today i was rotating tires and the alarm went off 3 separate times, it has never happened even a single time before. Curious...

As a tip for anyone looking for replacement struts, or auto opening struts for the model 3 trunk, the evannex struts reduce the distance between the bottom of the trunk lid and the top of the bumper by roughly 5 inches. oem struts open to 51.5” evannex open to 46.5” it’s an enormous...

Have a set of these up for grabs. 20" OEM M3P wheels with TPMS and Michelin A/S 3+ tires on them. All tires have between 6.5mm and 6.7mm of tread left. There are a few of the usual nicks from road debris on them, but no curb rash or anything significant. Believe $1800 is a fair price since...

Figured I’d link this since there have been a ton of threads on wheels and efficiency in here. Gives a lot more detail on all the aspects that affect range with wheel changes.

Anyone use the Taptes charger (2020 version) and have an iphone 11 max? Was curious if it fits in there upright or if you have to lay it on the horizontal charger. Believe the 11 max is the same dimensions as the 12 max, and wanted to check before buying one. TIA

Switched over to an iPhone from android, and when I connected to the car there There doesn’t appear to be a way to configure the phone so it plays media from applications and instead all of it goes through the car, unlike the android where you can actually select if you want music or...

Elon Musk company seeks extension to underground transit system

Anyone having USB/dashcam issues with the recent update? Installed 2020.40.3 yesterday, and today I started getting warnings that the usb drive was too slow to save all the camera footage. Swapped it out with a brand new spare identical to the one I've been using a year, Samsung usb 3...

As a PSA - got a set of Pirelli PZ4 sport tires because they were extremely lightweight (21 pounds), and figured if they worked well with porsche, they would do decent with an M3P... Those tires have to be hot to get sticky, like asphalt well over 100 degrees and tires way above that kind of...

With the model S/X, did Tesla wait for a new model year to upgrade the packs say from 85 to 90's and 100's etc? Or did they just release them throughout the year when tech was available? Contemplating picking up a second M3 as a toy, not in a rush to get it, but if it will be a model year later...

Just wanted to follow up on this, we have an official answer now. It's not the motors or the gears, we were both wrong. They are military strength speakers to simply make a lot of noise.

The estimated 1500 cycles that the battery is expected to last through, do you calculate that by adding both the charge and discharge cycles? Or does it only consider the discharge cycles?

After the update last friday, my car (and apparently a few others on here) seemed to feel a bit faster/butt dyno. The biggest change I noticed, was when the car was at lower SOC, it seemed to have picked up a substantial amount of power. Previously, I have kept data logs on SOC launches...

Anyone here around Vegas that knows if those huge things out in front of the convention center are the cutter they used to dig the tunnels? Couldn't get close to it and see if it had teeth on it, but thought it was weird if it actually disassembled in pieces like it was. I was thinking...

This is the fastest time listed in dragy; does anyone know if there are any others posted that are faster? 3.14 without the rollout, 2.97 with the rollout. On the 19s with continental all seasons to top it off. Only mod is the RB brake rotors the lighten everything up

Anyone know of a lip available out of ABS similar to the design of the unplugged version? Lots of lips around, but they seem to either be excessively thick, or not be a constant smooth curve. They've got that change in the middle that goes up and down by the grill. TIA

Throwing together a bit of info on the RB rotors for the P3- standard sized kit, looking to do this for removing as much unsprung rotational mass as possible ... OEM front rotor hat is +/- 7.5mm thick RB rotor hat is +/- 6.9mm thick (didn't measure OEM rotor thickness, had wear on it so it...
