I'm keeping -1.5F, -2.0R. Optimal would be OEM specs. That one is a compromise for spirited driving. UP FUCA eventually got bolts completely fused, so I can't adjust it anymore. I also don't use quick swap feature, since I'm lazy to do it, it gets stuck easy and you have to fix toe there and...

I hope so

I dont play short term. Long term it's still safely 10x.

I need tesla shares to go lower, before I buy some more. No need for a good news. Please more bad news for people with short attention span.

That very much depends on how it's implemented. Bosch system is not great - feeling is weird. On the street I prefer one pedal. On the track I prefer to not overheat battery with regen at all. Better abs is always welcome, though.

Thanks. Probably added ESP® hev so it can use regen only through brake pedal application until it runs out of regen capacity and only then use mechanical braking. None of that is damper, though. Or it just might mean that esp doesn't control dampers. So, I don't know, but sounds interesting...

@eivissa where is this info about damperless esp is from? On the scheme you only have standard brake system parts.

Could be just removed dampers for the module mount. Or could be an abs pump without pressure damper. I think that I had that on Evo X - it doesn't pulse abs, it's just quickly finds the edge of traction loss and stays there. Basically it's a much faster direct pressure pump that maintains...

If you make it too stiff - it starts bouncing on tires, but frequency is much higher. Nausea is usually from medium springs on soft dampers.

If it's bouncing - it means dampers are not slowing springs enough (not stiff enough). Harder springs will make that effect worse with higher frequency, bur lower amplitude of bouncing.

If you did wheel alignment once - they should give you a paper and caster is there

My toaster has a digital seconds countdown timer for a reason.

How much is the difference? I have a 1.5 degree caster difference left to right due to bad manufacturing. I fixed it by UP FUCA, but it generally means car frame is somewhat crooked and mounting points are shifted. Without caster adjustable FUCA you cant do much - half degree only by shifting...

I adjust my forecast to 2.9 Insane mode and 2.6 Ludicrous mode. Still 10.5 1/4.

Today model 3 page changed a design in how it shows specs for options. Specs are more visible now, price is less of the focus. Anyday now, i guess

No point. You have 0 interest to understand whats written. You win and its off topic.

I dont have power drop curve after peak anyway. Its a model of ideal motor that keeps constant torque and then constant power after that. Its not meant to simulate m3p. Its only meant to show that battery is not that much of the culprit.

Thats completely irrelevant - certainly every specific tire has optimal load and adding more load moves it out of optimal load and traction starts to decrease vs load. But heavy car can have tires under optimal load and have the same deceleration as lighter car under optimal load with different...

I dont know how to say it more clearly. If you have 2 light cars connected together - they act as one 2x heavier car that stops the same as a light car. And you don't need 2x more wheels to do it. Now if you compare loaded and unloaded truck - yes, they are different, because it's the same tire...

I specifically said that my model is torque limited by the grip. Battery is not limiting torque, it's limiting power. M3P is lower acceleration than 1.0g for 0-60 and it's dropping power way below battery limit after 45. The purpose of this model is to show that battery is not the limit of...

That's not how pressure is calculated. And it's not how tire contact patch works. Also, not how coefficient works. Lighter doesn't stop better not in theory, not in practice. Lighter turns and rotates faster. Lighter gains speed faster. Lighter is good. But stops the same. Heavier cars have...

Plaid brakes were really bad. They stopped the car, but feeling was bad, overheat is bad. Later they improved. Enough? Idk. But my claim is - when brakes work well you dont have 0-60 better than 60-0 ever. I can't prove something that doesnt exist. It's a made up myth about heavy cars taking...

Motors are creating mechanical power from electricity and you get much less power from the M3P battery than it can provide.

Chill Mode also keeps battery intact and works predictably bad at any soc or temp.

Wonderful fun police.

Touching power limiter at a single point in time is not what makes 0-60 or 1/4. With motors and ECU program change you can get way more power around that single peak power point. Just look at the chart of how much space from the power limiter available everywhere except a single dot.

Empirical data without understanding of the mechanism behind is alchemy. M3 doesnt take all that the battery can provide. M3P motors different from LR only in hardware torque limit Of invertor - that only matters until the peak power speed. And certainly when you riding on a direct voltage...

I made a whole post with calculations to answer this question on how you can do it with battery limit. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/8189048/ Battery voltage influences the power, but not as much as torque limiter and motors back emf from speed.

Maybe its a later version with better pads and fixed abs program. Anyway, they still feel terrible and overheat easily. Weight doesn't influence braking distance as long as brakes and tires are not overheating. Also, better brakes dont stop car any faster than any other functional brakes...

Thats not sport. We're in the thread of semi-educated guessing game. Once its out and full tested this fun thread would be dead.

Battery is not the major limitation. You can drop a full second in 0-60 on the same battery.

Weight doesn't influence braking distance if brakes are not overheating in a single stop. Only pavement, tires and abs system defines the minimum stopping distance. Wrong suspension geometry can make things worse, but it's a rare thing.

We know advertised power limit and voltage. We dont know for sure power curve before and after maximum power speed. We.can guess that the front motor would be similar to m3p, but even that is not certain, since you can drive the same motor differently. Power before and after will be lower than...

Plaid brakes and abs are famously not good. If they are fixed - braking and acceleration equally limited by tires so the same time and distance. On the same compound proper brakes have the same brakes performance between cars.

That's what is possible with power limit and different tires on 1/4 mile. 1.00 10.302 1.05 10.207 1.10 10.123 1.15 10.049 1.20 9.984 1.25 9.926 1.30 9.874 1.35 9.828 1.40 9.786 1.45 9.748 1.50 9.714 I think with Ludicrous mode it will be 1.1g limited, plus thermal limits so it might be able to...

I doubt that 275 makes any difference for 0-60. UHP compound tires like 4S are capable to hold Plaid level acceleration whether they wide or not. Contact patch is still the same and depends on pressure more than on width. Wider tires are for corners stability, track heat dissipation and for...

I dont know their profit models and consumer behaviour data. But it won't be dictated by the cost. Cost is almost the same. Upsell and brand image define pricing.

100% they make it slower on purpose. Motors can take a few seconds of higher torque before they reach battery and motors power limit to have much better 0-60. It's not sustainable, since it will overheat eventually, but it's just 0-60. Sure, on m3p they had electrical current limited by...

Battery or motors are not limiting 0-60.

And I still believe that it will be like 2.8 Insane mode, 2.5 Ludicrous for additional price. And later they will do a track pack with different brakes and wheels which they won't ever going to bother to certify in EU. Or 19 wheels is a track pack and comes with better brakes and already...

I dont see a significant cost difference of LR and M3L. Mostly increased cost of battery warranty, few lower quantity production parts and few additional cheap parts. All in all, I highly doubt that direct cost increase is more than 300 USD. Then there is additional R&D, marketing and...

I think he talks about aligning travel time, so in such case you have higher loss of energy by driving longer above average speed to compensate longer time below average speed with slow acceleration.

It might work this way on edge cases, but in real life chill mode saves energy per mile even with aligned travel time.

That is incorrect. Higher acceleration usually leads to larger deviations from average speed so it leads to 3 additional energy loss sources: 1. Higher power leads to loss increase through circuits, tires and pinions heating. 2. More periods above average speed - more air and tire friction...

Not really. You can do 2.1 with the same tires. Width only helps with heat management and side loads. 275 on 4 corners puts model 3 to the proper target tire pressure of 32 psi with the stock weight.

I want chrome door handles

I mean that you lose power more on a high speed straights.

Maybe it also denoises holes for top harness straps?

HPDE benefits from tire temps, but high speed performance drops on wider tires. AutoX on a dry surface wins the most from wider tires. 295x35x18 is largest I would go - it already needs a lot of front camber...
