I have a 2019 M3 Performance. a few months ago I did a run in Track Mode, which does a lot of battery conditioning, etc. Ever since, whenever I start the car, and usually for quite a while if not the whole drive, the conditioning fans and the liquid coolant pump run continuously, with fan sounds...

i hit a pothole a year ago and blew out both drivers side wheels and rims. Hit a pothole last night and blew out the passenger side wheels and rims. These 20" wheels are not designed for city streets; they're only good for the track. Looking for some tires that will withstand more shock...

I've polled my fellow M3 drivers: the new UI update is horrible! The loss of functional grouping (all music under one icon), the loss of the cards for easy access to special information, and it takes like 5 searches to find out how to play music from my phone.. the little colored icons...

That's awesome... but is your car the Performance or the Long Range?

OK i get the humor "Ar Ar"... I taped up the windows to verify that that is where the sound was coming from. THEN I took the tape off, and now I am looking for a window seal kit that will have the same effect.

So I use miles per percent, because its easier to track what my range is supposed to be. I can't translate Wh/mile to range. I would really like to hear what effective range per percent battery usage people are getting with their M3 Performance, because I'm getting way below what was advertised.

WHAT ABOUT LEAFBLOWERS, TOO?!?!?

I'd love to hear what you get in terms of miles/%battery for a day of normal driving. See my reply to the original post on this thread. My performance has never got more than 2.5 miles per percent, which equals 250 miles range, even when driving in total chill mode with no a/c or heat or any...

Wow. I have a 2019 M3 Performance. Could you tell me, if you drive X miles, and consume X% of your battery, what on average do you get in terms of Miles/% battery usage? I get on average 1.5 to 2.5, where the advertised rate is 3. (300 miles per 100% charge). And this is with no heat or...

Thanks.. the 315 range was quoted back in August 2019 when I bought it... the quoted range has gone down a few times to the current 299. And I would be thrilled to get 299. Like I said the best I ever got, once in the almost year I've had it, was 270 miles equivalent. More typical, when...

I'm envious of the range stories here. I've had my M3 Performance for about 10 months. When i bought it Tesla was selling the Performance as having 315 miles range. I have carefully documented my actual range vs the displayed range, and done every possible thing I can do to boost range and...

Yeah just having the option to turn it on and off would be great, having it come on below a certain speed would be cool too.

So driving in TrackMode is going to put wear and tear on the AC compressor I guess. Right?

Yes that's what I do.. but the thing is with BEV's the mass and inertia is so high that you really go far coasting. If its a flat road you really don't start to slow down for quite a while. Its really fun! It worked a lot better in the RAV4EV which had a shifter and you could shift from no...

What is the noise when I use Track Mode? There is a whine from the front of the car when I put it in Track Mode... Anyone know what that is?

OK... I'll try that. BY THE WAY: I found that by putting the car in track mode and turning Regen completely OFF... I can get much better range. I think that's because you can essentially coast with the car's momentum for long distances without using any power. when you are constantly...

yes what i have observed is this prediction is based on its assumption that i get the advertised range. It does not to my knowledge base it on what I actually get. So for example when I plan a trip from LA to Prescott, Az, it tells me I'd get there with 18miles left. However, based on my...

Robert how do you file a warranty dispute? I have been keeping track of actual range on my M3 Performance since I bought it last August, and I've never been able to get more than 270miles range at best, usually more like 250, when it was sold to me as, and all its calculations are based on...

So.. yeah the RAV4EV's were circa 2001-2... great cars for their time. And so was the Focus EV. Both cars got around 80-100 miles per full charge. What I'm saying is that they both got within a few percent of their rated efficiency per mile (around 0.8-1.0 mile/% full charge). The Tesla M3 is...

Yeah I've been using chill mode.. to no significant effect on range

I have been monitoring my Model 3 Performance's range and efficiency since I bought it in August. Shutting off all energy draining features (a/c, heating, sport mode, etc) and driving like a grandma I have NEVER exceeded 270 effective miles range, and more typically get around 240. Temperature...

I've been tracking my model 3 range every day since October. I've turned off every possible energy draining option, drive like a grandma, and the bottom line is the best equivalent range I get is 250 miles. Its more typically 230 if I use like the seat heater for 10 minutes in the morning...

Without a doubt my Model 3 Performance has very high wind noise. My wife complains she can't even hear me over it. I took it in to Tesla twice, the first time they did nothing, the second time they adjusted the window positioning and it did help a little. However they gave me Uber credits to...

I experimented by taping over all the window edges in my 2019 Performance. The noise inside the cabin dropped DRAMATICALLY. I'm going to buy a kit. Which one is the best one?
