    MPP AWD/Performance Coilover Impression and Installation

    San Diego has a mix of excellent and horrible roads. I hit them all on a 30 min commute to work daily. I tried everyone's settings but some most were too stiff or too floaty. I tried the MPP low Grip / Technical Track Damper Settings and they were awesome on smooth roads but rough on roads...

    Is it possible to live with the 20" Uberturbines without getting flats/damaged wheels?

    I have never bent a wheel in my whole life. I am have lived in cities with the worst roads in the country. I just dont get it.

    MPP AWD/Performance Coilover Impression and Installation

    I confused myself with your first pic. I didn't realize the shocks in your first pic were facing opposite of each other. Assumed that the +/- are opposite on the top and bottom. Thx for the help!!!!

    MPP AWD/Performance Coilover Impression and Installation

    Thanks make sense. I got to redo my settings. My compression is turned from full soft. I had turned them the same direction as rebound.

    MPP AWD/Performance Coilover Impression and Installation

    I might me over thinking things here but on the rear suspension + and - shows opposite on rebound (+/-) and compression(-/+). On the instruction video mountain pass puts out they say stiff is clockwise and soft is counter clockwise. So I am asking this newbie question. The - rebound =soft and...

    MPP AWD/Performance Coilover Impression and Installation

    I was able to have my MPP Sports installed today and all I got to say is WOW!!!! I cant wrap my mind around how I can lower it this much and it still more complaint than the stock suspension. The roads are uneven and filled with cracks in my area making the stock suspension feel very nervous...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Wish Tesla had a “M” division. M3P is stupid fast but the suspension is not up to par. Also, other than the tire/wheels there is not much of a differention from the LR. If there was a M3P+ I would have been all over it. There is certainly a market for it. Unfortunately, I don’t see this...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Not much if any. It sits higher than the bumper. It does stick about a 1/2 further than the nose of the car.

    Rattling coming from rear passenger side, could be speaker

    I noticed a sound today and narrowing it down to the seat latch. I happen to have a microfiber cloth in the trunk. I folded it 4 times and closed the seat onto it. The sound stopped. I went to Home Depot and picked up some window insolation tape and put across the whole back shelf. Seems to...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I have been waiting for my car for 7 months. During that time I have accumulated all the parts for my build. I just happen to have some time off of work when I took delivery. Pretty much all I been doing this week is modding. Instructions came with the kit. Also hardware and tape. No need to...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Awesome. The lip is very easy to install. The rear valance was cumbersome but easy also. I did both by myself. With an extra set of hands it would have been super easy. A few more mods coming this week. Tomorrow I get my MPP Sports and Spacers installed and Tues tint. I should be done......

    IKON FRONT BUMPER LIP SPOILER PP. Got it wrapped satin black to make the stock trim. Chrome Delete Bundle Package. Went directly to their shop to pick it up. Great people. Very helpful. REAR VALANCE TESLA MODEL 3. Installing this tomorrow.

    IKON Motorsports Front Lip for Model 3: A Review

    Install was straight forward. Had to reuse the fasteners from the underside of the spoiler because the 2 supplied did not fit in the wheel well and the 2 that were orginal installed did not fit with the spoiler. I had my splitter wrapped in semi gloss black to match the trim. Doesn’t protrude...

    The hitting advanced 5xs a myth and has been debunked. I have talked to service and they said they don’t push out updates. That it will happen in time but they couldn’t dnt specify how long

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    The 2 best color IMHO is red and white. Both pop in the sun. Pics of white don't do it any justice. A lot of flake in the sun. My last car was red so I went with white this time. I would have been very happy with either. The white interior is unique. So many people compliment on the White on...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Took a spirited ride last night and felt myself hitting the bump stops on the uneven roads in San Diego. I initially thought that the MPP Sports I will be installing Tues would be overkill. Now I am thinking it will give this car a little more suspension travel that it needs. I will report back...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    In hindsight I was worried when I heard ppl complaining about wind and tire noise. Got caught up with all that. I guess it depends what your previous car was. I came from a hellcat and this is very quite to me. The cabin is far from church quite though. I wish it did make more sounds. I like...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    It is insane. I dont understand how the tires dont break loose. This thing teleports. It is so controllable but sport bike fast. The only thing I am noticing about it is that is doesn't like small imperfections in the road i.e. most SoCal Highways. It gets nervous feeling. That is just a...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Spoke to service today about getting the new firmware pushed to me. They said that the car needs to get "broken in" before the firmware gets pushed. He said to drive it more and I should see it soon. Not sure if that was BS but I am on leave and do not mind having an excuse to take a long...

    MPP AWD/Performance Coilover Impression and Installation

    Finally got my M3P and Holy S@#$ it is awesome. The stock suspension is not too bad. Feels a little weird over uneven pavement and intersections humps but not bad. I was impressed. Look forward to get my MPP Sports installed on TUES to compare. With what I have experienced today plus the...

    Took the wife out for some taco's tonight. I talked her ear off about all the crazy stuff the car can do. Mentioned to her that is was way faster than my Hellcat. She didn't believe me. I was like "OK" and changed the subject. About 10 mins later we were waiting at a red light. I told her I...

    I just checked and I have old software also. Just put in a service request. Just realized I do not have Boombox. I had selected fart on horn in emission test and thought it was working. I guess the guy never heard my fart. Oh well.

    Preaching to the chorus..... Just got back from picking up my MP3 and....... holy s!@* !!! I am blown away. I have never been in or driven a Tesla. First drive time I ever sat in one was today at delivery. I had done so much research but it is far better than expected. It does make NA cars...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    SA just hit me up letting me know that I wont be able to pick up my car a day early. She said it wont be delivered until after closing tonight. All good to me. I am always super surprised how little time the delivery centers actually hold onto a car. I pick up tomorrow at noon. Will post pic!!!

    Just picked this up along with a maxton diffuser. Going for a M3P+ look.

    Just got a call from my SA asking if I was available to pick my car up a day early. They even offered me a free Uber. Not shabby at all.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I didn’t realize how many times I would check my profile for a vin. This is ridiculous. My buddies just feel bad for me at this point. When I spoke about getting a M3P it got them motivated to get new cars themselves. One picked up a M3 Comp and the other a M4 Comp. I am here just waiting with...

    Take this with a grain of salt but my SA said they are expecting to get a delivery on the 16th in San Diego. I’m still showing Estimated Delivery: March 15 - March 22.

    If any pops up in SoCal that is my top 3 configs I’m grabbing it. I got too many parts sitting in my garage to play the Tesla game🤣

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Looking at everyone’s dates I think all the M3Ps are going to be built in the next 2 weeks. The further you are from the factory the later you will take delivery. Looks like most west coasters have EDT sometime next week and east coasters the week after. Pretty much verse from the normal...

    My profile is showing 12-22. Called my SA to get a more exact date and was told they are expecting delivery on the 16... give or take.

    You should give Carvana. I sold my car to them this weekend. I am a big fan of them now with how easy the process was and the great quote they gave me.

    This "Tesla Experience" is not fun anymore. I am surprised how much an estimate delivery date can make or break my morning.
