Before the update a large button would appear on the lower aspect of the screen (about 4” wide box) when I approached my house and when I turned the car on in the garage. It would disappear when I drove away. Since the update that box no longer is there. Now its just the tiny icon on the top...

Not in real time, unless something has changed. This video explains it good around the 16 minute mark: The car shows a dash picture where the battery, motors, tires and brakes change from blue to green to red, but not numbers. But you can download the data with the video files, and other...

Its not brake fluid temps. I believe Tesla says its using a model to calculate brake temps, so its likely not accurate if you are using different rotors and pads. Track mode can have a big effect on balance, in my experience on the Model 3. And in the Plaid, without track mode the stability...

Thats dependant on the track. The track I was on was a 19 turn 2.0 mile track, so its closer to a kart track than a typical road course. Less than 14 seconds on WOT despite 1:52 minutes a lap, so on a typical road course it would be much worse.

I took my Plaid to a road course today for the first time. Its a 2.0 mile track with lots of tight turns and heavy braking zones. My setup: 20x11 wheels Front and rear 305/35-20 Goodyear F1 SC3 front and rear (no clearance problems at the front) MPP front Upper Camber arms at max neg Camber...

Mclaren uses 5x112 bolt pattern, the plaid uses 5 x120.

These have all sold.

MPP Sports Coilovers (2 way adjustable). $1990 obo Less than 10,000 miles. Great condition. I just sold my M3P as I got a Plaid in November. I used MPP recommended settings for rebound and compression and never changed. The ride on the street is better than the stock shocks despite the firmer...

These are no longer for sale

There are multiple threads about this in this section. There is one thread which is on page 29 Discussing this. The brakes are horrible. The pedal firmness is horrible even for daily driving. A few hard stops, and they start to fade. And you do not have to go 100 mph to get fade. After 3...

Swaybars and end links sold.

Tesla Model 3 Performance. AWD. Multi-coat red, white interior, Rare Advanced Autopilot ($5300 opt with auto lane change, smart summon) its drives itself! 20” wheels, heated seats, panoramic glass roof. Premium navigation, video streaming connectivity. Excellent condition. Low mileage...

Shipping UPS Ground for the Coilovers is $84 USD plus insurance (if you want it).

Shipping UPS Ground ranges from $80 to 105 depending on location. Plus insurance to most US locations (depending on what you want it valued at). Right now it's about 7 days transit time to most ZIPs that I checked.

For information: The coilovers are 60 pounds packed. Box is 27 x 20 x 10 inches. Sways and endlinks are 35 pounds for the front and rear set.

Prefer not to sell individually

They can be shipped anywhere.

I posted these in the regular for sale forum, but since I am in Calgary it would be better to sell them in Canada. All items have less than 13,000 km. Great condition. I am selling my M3P as I got a Plaid in November. These prices are in USD, but would convert to CAD to anyone in Canada...

This is great information. Carbon ceramics have worse heat dissipation than iron, hence why they are always bigger than iron rotors on the same vehicle. For track use, it need the largest iron rotors that will fit. On a 20" inch wheel that will likely be 400-410mm. A 21" wheel will allow...

If you are crossing hand over hand on a road course, then a yoke is not the problem.

This is correct. But a few posts above your comparing the bias ratio to a Porsche GT3 and new Tesla Carbon kit, which both have much larger rear piston areas. So the claim that your large rear rotors results in a much more balanced set up to match the Tesla Carbon and GT3 remains incorrect...

The information here is so absurd its not even funny. Brake bias is determined by the master cylinder line pressure, the overall combined piston area per caliper, as well as the mean radius of the rotor. Of these, the combined piston area (front/rear) is going to have the greatest effect. You...

They are essentially the same as G Loc, same family. But nobody sells pads the price of CNS, and gives no data about them like Mu/temp. The are many great pad manufacturers that will make pads for you if supply them a template and order enough. At this price, from an unknown brake pad...

The picture of the pads on CNS website are taken right of the Racing Brake website. Same picture. The only brake companies that so far have released pads for the Plaid are G-loc and Racing Brake. Both are way cheaper. CNS website also says these are for street and also have a track pad...

These are pads made by Racing Brake. The pictures on Racing Brakes website are exactly the same. Except you can buy them direct for $423.

First you offered 390mm FRONT rotors. Then you changed it to 400 mm FRONT rotors. Then you changed it to 410 mm front rotors, With the options of buying front only. Now you have changed it to buying front and rear together only. Above you state that you have different combo kits for people...

Post in thread 'Plaid track mode imminent.' Plaid track mode imminent.

Why would this end any debate when you have no testing data? What a manufacturer presents for sale often has no rationale, especially if performance was a goal. There are innumerable examples.

Yes, the stability program is completely different, and much better. Im driving in freezing snow packed roads. Set to 0, and the car rotates and gets loose. Even set to +9 is way less intrusive than regular mode. I havent played enough with it, but it feels like a completely different and...

Its not setting it anywhere near 100% or 0%. Watch the dragtimes video of the Model 3 where he compares all modes. Times are close no matter what, and there is no wheelspin in any setting. This is more about reducing power to one end to get balance as the car has lateral G’s.

These are ZR1 brakes? Do you make the rotor hats and spacers? I have a set of these but Racing Brake refuses to sell their hats and adapter, must buy their ZR1 kit.

They created a "winter" mode preset for the M3P, not sure why they wouldn't for the Plaid.

Those calipers are so short that I would suspect 410mm rotors would fit on 19s with those calipers. I think going with a caliper under 400mm is the wrong idea. They have made 410mm kits for the GTR and the 992 GT3 gets 410s as well.

They do. Winter setting in track mode is way better.

Essex Racing is developing an AP Racing RadiCal Caliper Big Brake kit, but have not yet determined the rotor size they will use. They did say that one reason the brakes are so horrible is the factory pads which have no copper in them.

Depends what you are looking for in "Snow" mode. Having now been 4 weeks straight in snow packed roads, this car has the most intrusive stability control of any car I have ever had. I thought the M3P was bad, but this is horrendous. It cranks on the brakes even at painfully slow speeds around...

Yes, when it got to 0 celcius, it would take longer than 30 minutes.

You are comparing relative similar weight cars that have 1020 hp vs 562hp. The power to weight ratio of the Plaid is double the GTS. The speeds the Plaid can achieve are quite different. That is like comparing the rotors on a Corvette to a Miata.

I compared it to cars designed to go on a race track. The BMW i3 is 0.0844, which is higher than all of these and not a car I would want to compare it to. It has 184 hp and regen.

I don't know if they downsized them on the 2022's but the 2019 and 2020 had 420mm front and 410mm rear, https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/future-cars/a28915025/porsche-taycan-huge-brakes/

One more data point is the Rimac Rivera. It's essentially same weight as the Plaid, but has very aggressive Regen braking of 300 KW, not sure what the Plaid is, but that is 2.5x what a Model 3 Performance does. The Rimac comes with 390mm rotors all around. So to make better comparisons here...

No, the Taycan turbo S has 420 mm front and 410 mm rear.

None, that I am aware of, have dedicated ducts like the Unplugged prototype kit. Although, in my GT3 and Mclaren, there is airflow from the front fascia into to wheel wells which we don't see on the Plaid. I do not think anyone knows the exact percentages that regen provides. When I...

Taycan turbo is 87.7%, which is way more than any of the Plaid aftermarket options except for the RB 432mm 6 pot caliper kit.

I did more calculations and calculated the rotor surface area across multiple vehicles and compared surface area vs weight of vehicle. The 5 comparisons are 2 Sports cars with the closest acceleration (Mclaren 720S and Porsche 992 Turbo with iron brakes). The other 2 are relatively heavy track...
