Sold Thanks for all the looks! And special thanks to the hilarious attempts at detective work and financial advice from some very ‘special’ members; you guys keep up that good good comedy!

That is butt spankin’ ugly

Truth!

my issue with the tires has nothing to do with range. I am traveling lots of farm and fire roads in my adventures and i need something more like a 16 or 17 wrapped in ATs ... selling those dub step rotor hoops will more than fund that set up. Provided that the ‘lowered’ suspension set-up still...

sell the 21s and buy whatever you want; should take all of a week

Just waiting for ride height numbers before i pick

Isn’t there an aftermarket outfit that makes print-proof covers for the center console?

anyone know the standard clearance and how much lower the performance option drops it?

Right! I can see it for the base model 3s, but why subject the performance variants to robot taxi life? Seems an utter waste...

maybe nobody knows now, but if someone takes delivery and tries that out, please come back and let me know! TIA!

No FSD. This was a car available for immediate delivery, so I didn’t ask for, complete, or receive a build sheet. If its something i can easily access from my Tesla app or account, just send me the key strokes required to find it and i’ll stroke it up for everyone’s viewing pleasure!

Shirley!

I was told that they are keeping all leased M3s to build the auto-taxi fleet, so only lease transfers for now, unfortunately. Bummer to think that this car is destined to be a robot :(

Thanks for the free bumps!

There’s some perfectly good model x sale threads to troll. Hop on over there, thanks!

Yeah, i put a big down payment in to help get the monthly down. Somebody else’s gain. I clearly need to go to money school and learn about money stuff.

Regarding LeaseTrader: This is the first time i have ever been in a situation to transfer a lease and figured it couldn’t hurt to try them; and I’ve had nothing but issues with them. They are, however, completely unnecessary in the process. If you want to explore further, just reach out to...

Also, there is no requirement to go through Lease-Trader for the transfer. Tesla leasing can do everything.

The actual payment is $764. Lease-trader just automatically applies any cash incentives to the monthly payment. You’re free to apply the cash to the car or delicious meatball sandwiches, if you wish.

Did you pick up in BG? Wish i had picked mine up there

Looking to get out of my lease and buy a M3 outright. Offering cash incentive to general public but willing to sweeten the deal with an additional $200 incentive cash to TMC forum members. Link here: 2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance Sedan Lease for $718.48 month: LeaseTrader.com

If by ‘nauseated’ you mean, ‘sh!t eating grin’ then yes, my experience was similar

i’ve now heard a number of stories about how the M3P Stealth came to be, but these two from two different Tesla employees are my faves so far: 1) They mysteriously shipped to Tesla delivery centers, no one knows why 2) When they had spare S motors, they put them in M3s to help meet deliveries...

No dig against Tesla for marketing it as a 7 seater, but a 6.5 seater may be more appropriate

While you’re all fishing for updates from Elon, ask him if he plans on a stealth performance variant! I need it!!!

This. If Tesla is reading, a MY stealth will sell like hotcakes! ...mmmmm butter and syrup

Teehee!

I would love it if they treated the Y more like a 3D hatch, rather than a CUV. Raising the CoG, among other nerfs becoming of a CUV, is sure to take away from the brilliant back road feel of the 3D. I hope i’m wrong!!!

I wanna live in these magical places where a vehicle’s ability to legally and safely accelerate from 100mph to 300mph is utilized so frequently that its worth caring about. Do share!

Nobody with the right rubber and experience ‘needs’ awd or 4wd to drive safely in snow or other extreme conditions. But there is no disputing that awd and 4wd make a vehicle materially more capable than 2wd in every instance; Tokyo drift, notwithstanding. I wouldn’t expect any unique weight...

Also, as i’m sure you’ve read here 1 million times, don’t leave that lot until you’ve super inspected the car. Make sure the 1774 adapter is in the wall charger kit. Check for paint nicks and dings. Make sure both card keys are programmed properly. All that good stuff

Keep a good several car lengths behind other cars; and even further behind trucks. Getting rock chips on the hood and front fascia are a 100% eventuality, but don’t ruin your first night of garage staring by having to lament a jacked up front end, instead. Congrats and happy motoring!

Seems like you’d get the chassis up off the ground a bit w/ the 45. A little more insurance against bashing the front lip on shitzu

Back when trucks were still trucks, and not bloated 4x4 Cadillacs for soccer dads; 16” was what nearly every heavy duty truck shipped from the factory with. Not that those hooked up any better when the diesels had to put power down in a hurry...

Boom. Thats what i was looking for, thanks!

I dig that!

+1 for midnight silver!

Cross-shopping here, too. I just signed my model 3 24 month lease, so i’ll have a little more wiggle room to see how this plays out. I’m stoked no matter which one i land in though!

Oh my! Thats tight!

Ford?!? LMAO!!!!!!!! That’s almost as good as ‘would you buy a Tesla or Dodge EV?’

Can’t remember where i read, or heard, this but the observation was that the 3rd row would only comfortably accommodate kids. Maybe it was the RTL podcast?

Possibru. Seems like we could use some photochop expertise to see how the various sizes might look. Aesthetics aside, i still can’t see a 35” mud tire doing anything that [safely] resembles ‘performance’ that matches a porsche 911, as is currently claimed. But what do i know? This dude builds...

I received a tweezer tool, but its clearly marked as the lug nut cap remover. Are you using it for the center caps, as well?

i removed my aero covers and installed the new center caps. But given that i cant make up my mind about which config i like best, i figure i’ll just switch back and forth for a bit. Now that my cool story is out of the way, has anyone found a quick and easy way to remove the center caps so i...
