    Wheel Configuration — Diameter vs Width

    Range estimates do seem closer when set to the Zero G wheel. However the speedometer is off slightly more with the Zero G, as the diameter of that wheel is 26.8” vs 26.5” for the stock uberturbines, and 26.3” for the 18”. A 1.88% difference between the Zero G and wheels I’m running. Maybe it...

    Wheel Configuration — Diameter vs Width

    Hi, A few months ago I swapped out my 20” Uberturbines for a set of 18x9.5” Signature wheels with 265/40R18 tires. At the time, I changed the wheel configuration to the 20” Zero G as I figured that this was the widest configuration available and would reflect the proper range. However, the...

    Ohlins DFV Coilover Kit Installed!!

    Correct, the rear is a divorced spring and damper. This noise is really only at very low speeds or even when I physically push the car down when parked. We’ll see what Redwood says.

    Ohlins DFV Coilover Kit Installed!!

    I settled on 16 clicks in the front and 20 in the rear. The sound in the front was diminished the firmer I went but never quite went away, no performance issues though. It’s worth mentioning that Redwood said that rear coilover noise is normal.

    Ohlins DFV Coilover Kit Installed!!

    No, but I am taking it back to Redwood to investigate next month. Doesn’t seem to have caused any issues.

    Ball Joint Boot Damaged?

    Hi All, I recently noticed a thump from the front passenger side wheel when going over a speed bump at low speed. I thought I was strange I had bottomed out but thought nothing of it. Yesterday while pulling away I hear a thump again, so I inspected the suspension and found what looks like this...

    Rear driveshaft click disappeared

    Hi All, For the last month I’ve had the common single “click” sound from the rear driveshaft upon acceleration and regen. I was about to take the car in to the service center, but they didn’t even want to look at my car since I have aftermarket suspension (Redwood GT Öhlins Kit) I then...

    Ohlins DFV Coilover Kit Installed!!

    There are 32 or 34 clicks. I actually went to 16 clicks in the front and 20 in the rear and it improved the ride quality (subjectively of course) I’d try out the middle of the range, you might be surprised

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    Looks great! My experience with Signature SV501 18x9.5 ET30 with Bridgestone Potenza Sport 265/40R18 is similar. Even with the wider tire, I’m averaging about 310 Wh/mi but that obviously goes up a bit on higher speed freeway runs. I’m only about 5-7mm lower on the Redwood GT kit.

    SV501 18x9.5 ET30 with 265/40R18. Saved 11 lbs per corner over the uberturbines!

    Ohlins DFV Coilover Kit Installed!!

    Question for you, is your suspension making any noise over low speed bumps? Like going up a driveway or speed bumps? Mine is making a squeaking or heaving sound seemingly all around. Not sure if that’s normal or not. I’m also not getting the smoothness I expected from reviews here. I also...

    Ohlins DFV Coilover Kit Installed!!

    It’s about 0.5% smaller circumference than the 235/35R20 on the M3P, so the speedo will read faster than the actual speed but only just. (It’s about 0.8 mph at top speed for example, and less pronounced at lower speeds)

    Ohlins DFV Coilover Kit Installed!!

    Thanks for the feedback, I’m looking forward to getting mine installed! I’ve heard that it does add a kind of sophistication to the damping that is missing stock. My M3P is actually a bit more comfortable than I expected, but it has plenty of room for improvement. That combined with 18 inch...

    Ohlins DFV Coilover Kit Installed!!

    Did you get the sport kit or the GT kit? I have the GT kit on order and there’s been precious little feedback on them. I’m not on the fence about them at all but just wondering if you have any additional impressions?

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Went and dropped off the check from my bank today. Car was in the lot and the delivery team let me do a “preinspection” Everything looked great, consistent gaps, paint was perfect, interior was good but many things were still covered. The car was in transport mode with one “alert” didn’t want...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Scheduled my delivery for this weekend! My bank came through but gave me a check to give to Tesla. Does anyone know if I can’t just give the check to the person who drops off the car for home delivery?

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    From 2-11 weeks to June 07 - June 18 here. Hard to say when my order date is since I placed my February order on hold in March and resumed it on 5/10

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I’ve been sitting at 2-11 weeks for days now. My SA switched me to third party financing in my profile since that’s what I’m doing. Does anybody know if that affects profile “completeness” for delivery? I can’t seem to open the MVPA for the bank

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Spoke with an SA and it’s not 5/10. SA said that my “queue position” would be in front of someone who ordered on 5/10, but couldn’t really say where it would place me. For what it’s worth, no VIN and 2-11 weeks EDD

    I made the initial payment and financing choice (cash) in February. The order was placed and I had a VIN in March but had them unmatch me

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Does anyone know what the “priority” of orders that were on hold but are now no longer on hold is? I placed an order back in February because the person at the sales center told me I could put the order on hold until my lease was up this Summer, which I did after I got a VIN in mid March. The...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Same car, also in Sacramento. My date range is 5/31-6/11 with no VIN. I placed an order in February but put it on hold in March since my SA told me I could wait until my lease was up. Pressed the “I’m ready“ button in my account on 5/10

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Hoping I get mine soon! I originally ordered in February and got a VIN in early March. Had to put it on hold "until June 1" since my lease wasn't up and that was prearranged with my SA anyway. I pressed the "I'm Ready" button on 5/10 and my dates have jumped around quite a bit. It shows 3-5...
