    1st road trip on new M3P. Any advice?

    Let the car do the planning. Call ahead to hotels and see if they have EV charging available. It's annoying to constantly be planning your charging, but Tesla make it the easiest.

    APP w182, 185, 186 fault codes

    Ya. I'm out of warranty unfortunetly. So it's definitely out of my own pocket, which is no biggie. I enjoy wrenching on cars. And this car is pretty easy to take apart. Can't find much info on these fault codes however. Why I posted here. Hoping someone can chime in with some insight. I use to...

    M3P - Who switched from a (true) sports car?

    The performance is a one trick pony. Brutal 0-60 punch. That's it. You need to invest in some coilovers and brakes to even out the package imo.

Basically told to make service appt and they'll replace my ecu under dash. Which is fine. But has anyone successfully ordered and...

    Model 3 Performance Spacers

    Didn't mean to insinuate anything, no worries and sorry you may have taken it that way. All good., Here for solutions. My 21 is a Dec. 2020 build, I have slight rotor movement on all 4 corners without the retaining bolt. Once the retaining bolt is in, no movement. I've taken a video to show but...

    Model 3 Performance Spacers

    Blox sport 15/20. Everything is sitting flush. Spacers torqued down to 140, wheels torqued to 130#s. I understand how it should work, lol. I've run spacers in the past. Just not sure what's goin on here.

    Model 3 Performance Spacers

    Hey guys. I'm fi ally getting around to install a set of spacers. Stock 21 3 performance. What are you guys doing with rotor .movement when you remove the 10mm bolt. I hear the rotor moving everytime I hit a bump. And I know it's the rotor. As I've reinstalled the wheels with the bolt and noise...

    M3P: I'm done with the stock Pirellis. Where next?

    Never had alignment issues or uneven wear on any car. They just wear out evenly across the tread. My previous cars have been in the 6-700hp range. Both AWD and RWD. I'm just heavy on the pedal from stops. And when I say "shot" I'm not wearing them down to slicks. Once I get to wear bars, I toss...

    M3P: I'm done with the stock Pirellis. Where next?

    No, not tracking, just hard spirited miles. My wh/mi is about 390 life time. Don't get me wrong. There both great tires and perform better than the average, I just prefer the pirellis over the Michelin's. And going through a set of summers every year has been the norm for me on any of my cars...

    Tesla sales rep said MY with 4680 will NOT have longer range

    I'm currently a 21 m3P owner. I'm definitely waiting for the 4680 equipped performance Y. Imo, the biggest advantage at the time of release will the ability to provide a greater range in cold northern climates. As it sits right, in winter months, there have been times I can only get 120-130...

    M3P: I'm done with the stock Pirellis. Where next?

    I blew through a set of pirellis in 7k and a ps4s are near shot at 5k. You wanted a performance vehicle didn't you? Lol

    Did Tesla mention why they changed from Michelin Ps4's to Pzeros on model 3 Performance?

    I have 2 sets of summer tires. The OEM Pirelli's on Ubers and ps4s on 20" fast fc04s. Last summer I switched back and forth between the two multiple times. And time and time again, I felt the Pirelli's were the superior tire in both wet, dry cornering and grip. I know it goes against what...

    3 dual motor - are both motors used all the time

    I actually find the suspension in my 21p to soft. Sure it's fine for daily driving, but when I want to crank it up and hit some winding roads with some excitment. The car gets out of balance extremly quick and easy.

    3 dual motor - are both motors used all the time

    Sophisticated suspension? Lol. It may be the worst performing "performance suspension" I've driven in the last 7 years. There's nothing sophisticated about it.

    Optiwatt

    I enjoyed using it for the first few months. Nice to monitor at home electricity usage. I don't really check it anymore now that I roughly know how much juice I use. Just be mindful, if you use scheduled charge through optiwat, it will override your cars scheduled departure.

    Scraping noise mysteriously came and went

    I have had this happen on multiple vehicles with brembo brakes. Just reach in behind the spoke with a long flat head and slightly push the dust shield away from the rotor. Don't force it back far, just give a firm push.

    21 performance cold weather improvements.

    Yup. I've been purposely not charging some nights just to drive the car at a lower soc and test out the throttle response. Definite night and day improvement over last year's software.

    Im on. 40 software. I didn't get. 35, so can't comment. But. 40 doesn't seem to be any different than the previous software I was on.

    21 performance cold weather improvements.

    Hey guys, some great news regarding the the 21 performance cars in cold weather. If anyone had picked up an early refresh last winter, you know how bad the power nerfing was when below 80% soc. I absolutely hated the car and the way it performed last winter. Of course this summer, it was fine...

    When are you changing into winter tires for SR+?

    Changed mine last weekend. I was noticing my OEM's were turning into hockey pucks. So the winters are on and ready.

    What's needed to run a quicker ET for 2021 M3P

    Sorry, i only made it out with the stock setup. Uberturbines with the pzeros. My other set are considerably lighter(have weights at home). There 20" fast fc04 on the oem size ps4s. So outside dimater would be identical. Both 235/35/20.

    What's needed to run a quicker ET for 2021 M3P

    My Pb is a 11.45 at 117mph. Completely stock 21 m3p in the dead of summer. Bat temps were just over 100F. Started at 89%, the car was deadly consistent to 80% where I ran my last run. But at 80% my mph was down by 1mph and I posted my slowest 1/4. I assume it was o Ly down hill from there. I did...

    Model 3 Performance winter tires

    I ran fast fc04(18") last winter with a toyo observe high performance winter tire. Worked good. Have to Remember, these cars produce alot of torque. I don't think there's a tire you won't be able to break loose in wintery conditions. This year, I switched to a 19" sport rim and I'm trying the...

    The future is now? [model 3 new owner review]

    Yeah. I'm glad. But we're on different batteries. And do you have the heat pump? It's my understanding the 2170L batteries didn't start shipping with the LR till q2 of 21. But the batteries first showed up in the performance in q4 of 2020.

    Lol. Yes. Mine started rubbing about a month into ownership. So embarrassing when someone gets in. I too have my seat low. Maybe I'll try and reposition it a little higher.

    Can we talk about rattles & noises, and them not being covered under warranty?

    Just be thankfull you don't have to drive these thing in sub zero temps. Rather annoying how many creeks, rattles and rubs there are.

    Notification when charging to 100%

    I get it all the time, I just delete it and move on. With a company so ahead of the game. You would think they would build in a buffer at the top end of the battery. So we can theoretically charge to 100% with out it bein at the actual full nominal capacity of the battery. It would sure make Ev...

    2021 M3P Range

    21 m3p as well. I drive to my cottage every weekend. I average 75-85ish. With no ac on and windows down. I get 205 miles on average from 100%to 13% ish charge. Ac on, and I'm under 200 miles and I have to charge for 10 mins to get home.

    Torque and Horsepower upgrade kits on M3P?

    The big question is. What are m3p owners willing to pay? Obviously it depends on the power levels... Ideally, I would like this car to hit a high 10sec 1/4 mile. For me that's exactly a half second from my best of 11.46. If tesla kept it under 5g, I think majority of owners would purchase. But...

    Torque and Horsepower upgrade kits on M3P?

    Great idea. I will do that and report back. Not saying the ps4s is bad in any way. There's alot of talk about the downgrade to the pirelli elect. I to was concerned when I heard of the switch due to the rave reviews of ps4s. But after logging miles on both back and forth. No one should be upset...

    Torque and Horsepower upgrade kits on M3P?

    But to be quite honest, I have my own variables that perhaps skew the results Imo. My pzeros are on my oem uberturbines(32lbs). 20x9. The ps4s are on an aftermarket wheel fast fc04 20x8.5 And the fast wheel is considerably lighter(23.5lbs) than the uber. A part me can't help but wonder if the...

    Torque and Horsepower upgrade kits on M3P?

    Temps the last month have ranged from high 80s to high 90s. And I've always warmed them up before pushing them. It's been rather dry here. Today was actually the first day I could test them out in the wet. We had a downpour and standing water on many of the roads. I didn't push them for a few...

    Torque and Horsepower upgrade kits on M3P?

    Sorry, but to base an opinion on a tire that you've only seen other people compete with throws to many variables into the mix. Until you compare yourself and run laps between the two, tough to really credit you. I may not auto cross, but I drive alot and have owned many high hp vehicles. For me...

    Torque and Horsepower upgrade kits on M3P?

    235/35/20 square setup. I bought them as a set of take offs from a local guy. They were off his 2020 performance. They had had less than 15 miles on them before he took them off.

    Torque and Horsepower upgrade kits on M3P?

    My traction controls kicks in all the time when I'm hammering on it with the Michelins. With the pirellis. They just grip and go. Have about 2k on the Michelins and 10k on the pirellis. That's why I grabbed a set. Heard nothing but good reviews. Not what I found. I hands down prefer the pirellis.

    Torque and Horsepower upgrade kits on M3P?

    Yeah. I'll look I to them. I've been swapping tires back and forth for the last 2 weeks. Between the ps4s and pirelli elects... The pirellis are by far a better performance tire. Definitly open to other suggestions.
  46. R

    Torque and Horsepower upgrade kits on M3P?

    I've got both the pirelli elects and Michelins. I think the pirelli is a better tire. I haven't tracked the car, to fully test both. But for everyday spirited driving, I prefer the pirellis.

    Finally hit the 1/4 mile with my 21P
