8 events, 32 runs, no problem. And definitely a sprayer is advisable as they don't like to get about 150. Ideally 110-130 degrees in grid seems like the sweet spot. I found the 660s did need the higher psi to keep it from rolling over but with sufficient camber perhaps it won't be an issue.

I've ran both, and the RT660s did seem to wear a little faster, particularly the shoulders. The sidewalls on the RT660 is noticable softer than the RE71R so it just rolls over more. The 660 also feels more vague off center, while the RE71R feels a little sharper presumably because it's sidewall...

I think the best SS wheel for the money for a '21+ M3P is the TSW Bathurst. After some extensive research it seems to be amount the best of the few options in that size because it's flow formed, light-ish at 21lbs, a pretty ideal 19x9.0 +30 and about $340/wheel. I've personally been running the...

I've previously ran 265/35r19 RT660s on my 19x9" +30 with no issues in autox, although it was a little more pinched than an RE71R on the same wheel (which sits pretty square). However, I was thinking about trying RT660s in 275/30 or 275/35 on the next set, obviously these will be very pinched...

Yeah, I used to live near Portland. I have a few friends that still run there regualarly.

Yeah, PIR doesn't have a lot of space to hit those speeds. Packwood would certainly have a better chance.

The red line is from one of my last runs, and as you can see I carried more speed through the corner, but the slope of my speed increase (the acceleration), is flatter than the other runs. Unfortunately my OEM tesla usb did not come with a track mode folder so I can't also confirm it with...

So I did encounter in my last autocross where I had 12 runs plus 2 re-runs, that the power did noticeably decrease below 50% SOC. I started the event at 92% SOC and my acceleration and lap times were pretty good until I dropped below the 50% and then my acceleration curves were notably flatter...

There is a lot of crap in this thread, lol. But OP, did you try driving the M3P in track mode or the regular driving modes? The reason is, unless you are in track mode the abs is VERY sensitive, and the pedal never really feels firm as the abs engages and annoyingly pulses quickly. In track...

Thanks! I also forgot to mention that a water sprayer is really necessary to keep tire temps under control, especially since the model 3 is quite heavy and under tire'd.

I charge to 100% before leaving in the morning and there is a SC station near the venue and I'll try to top off and ensure I have at least 80% SOC, and will use around 3% per lap and get 6-10 laps and don't notice any decrease in power. I've gone completely stock in my 2021 and and the 235...

Wow! That is nuts! But amazing that it tentatively all looks good!! Happy New Year!

As a matter of fact it is!! Haha Luckily my SA had an eye on six in this trim that were waiting for delivery confirmation and was ready in case one fell through and jumped on it for me. What made you decide not to get it? Overall the car checked out pretty well! And I'm pretty OCD about things.

Well, from the pits of despair and frustration yesterday to being vin matched due to my SA being on top of a M3P cancellation and vin matching me late afternoon yesterday, to taking delivery today! It has been quite an emotional rollercoaster! Thankfully the few issues on the car where pretty...

If you know the delivery center that your car is at call right away and ask to schedule delivery!

After the shitty text this morning, I got a VIN around 4:30pm! Then called immediately to try and get an appointment scheduled asap, and now look to be taking delivery at 11am tomorrow! I really can't believe it! And best of all it was my exact configuration and didn't have to compromise! My...

Does that I assume that those will be for people that already received a VIN at this point? I don't get the feeling that we will see more coming to socal.

I also received the same same text. What a joke! Even more frustrating is just trying to get some answers to understand how this happened?!! I ordered 10/31, repeatedly told "don't worry, you'll get a car by EOY" which I knew was just lip service. You can't believe anything until they actually...

Ordered 10/31- No VIN or estimate. Orange county, CA. Still no word on if I'll receive a car by EOY or any kind of ETA. I suppose there are still 2 days left. :/

Still no VIN, or ETA online here in Socal, ordered 10/31. SA said this year there are a lot more last minute deliveries but is still optimistic I'll get a car. My wife picked up her Y, the only notable issues were the window trim had a small scratch and the rear bumper didn't seem to be fully...

My VIN disappeared again today, hopefully that means I'll be getting my VIN soon like you did!

Interesting, my SA has told me that they either don't have the soft matching software anymore or that they don't use it anymore because the dates are still inaccurate?! So I guess just flying blind and maybe a car will show up on the 31st and God willing the issues aren't terrible.

Tesla had a few mechanical engineering positions available that I thought would be interesting to apply for, however, Elon's mission to accelerate the advent of sustainable cars could do even better if they can improve their car buying process, it is so frustrating. Would seem that they could...

How many others in Socal still don't have a VIN? And no delivery date at the moment? I ordered on 10/31, and it seems like at least most on here have an eta, which adds to the worry and frustration.

Well, I still don't have a VIN and as of yesterday no dates either. My wife on the other hand got her VIN today though for her MY. So at least we are making 'some' progress now!

I would have been fine with the panel gaps and anything that needed adjusting. It was the paint defects, glass scratches and some of the issues with the interior that would have been more of a pain to resolve and the SA said it is up to the discretion of whoever is reviewing it since "it is a...

I've been told the MP3s will be transported down on the 30th and pick ups on the 31st!!

Are you picking it up site unseen? I almost had them match my VIN without seeing it, but when they said if there was any curbing on the wheels etc, and I wanted to switch back that I would then be in the 'back of the line' for a new car. So I decided to drive down and check it out and am glad I...

I would have thought this as well, but hindsight, I think it may have been one of the first off the line or rejected by another customer? IDK

Haha, black tub WC! This one had 206 miles, but it was clearly thrown together quickly. I didn't get photos of the scratches on the b pillar or the adhesive splooge On the driver's door. But the passenger door was probably the worst in terms of fitment,huge window gap to the b pillar and super...

Found a 'new inventory' demo m3p in my build spec in San Diego that I was going assign it's VIN to my order, but was pretty disappointed with the build quality of that one and unfortunately had some issues with the paint and driver's door card that seemed like it would be difficult to get...

I was told 12/30 the M3P's would be transported down, and deliver/ pick up on 12/31. I sure hope they can get here sooner!!

For those of us waiting in Socal I was just told that I would likely have my car shipped on the 30th and pick up on the 31st. Cutting it close! So I suspect others may be in the same boat. A little frustrating considering it was ordered 10/31 and many have ordered afterwards are already...

Congrats! That's great news to hear! I ordered mine 10/31 from Lake Forest, hopefully that means they are getting close!!

I ordered 10/31 and had 12/12-12/31 as my ETA and am pretty disappointed to see it changed to 6-10 weeks from order which could potentially put it out into next year. Also my wife order a model Y LR and had delivery dates from every current day to the 12/21. And no she has no dates showing...

When did you order yours? I'm still waiting for my vin in OC

I ordered my white M3P w/ black interior 10/31 in Orange County and my ETA hasn't changed from 12/12-12/31 since I received the ETA a week ago. Still no VIN Either. My wife ordered a White LR Y a week before me and just now got her delivery window of 12/4-12/27, and also no VIN. Doesn't seem...
