    Car Wash incident

    i once shifted my weight in the seat to grab something from the rear floor. car jumped two rollers, but luckily by the third backup roller, i managed to get it back into neutral to finish the wash... never moved my ass again in a car wash.

    Has the M3P ruined me?

    the 6.7 turbodiesel in my megacab works to keep me happy. Diesel torque hits harder than Gas HP, even if it is slower.

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    as someone with all these components....its upsetting to see so many say there is no noticeable NVH increase. its noticeable, just not annoying or unexpected. There is certainly more NVH with the bearings. didnt see anyone ask you about what PSI you have your tires at? did you get it back on...

    Waiting Room: Model X Plaid Only

    Just got my second VIN assignment after my initial order on July 29th! I will probably actually maybe likely pick this one up next week... lol

    Anything better then pilot sport 4s tires?

    having run the Hankook RS4s and Goodyear eagle f1 and MPS4S in 265s.... yes, they really are the best tire for a road car. no warming necessary for grip, 2-3Xs the safe mileage if driving in the rain(south florida daily) 4-5Xs the mileage of 200treadwears with better grip all around(not on track)

    Waiting Room: Model X Plaid Only

    i wasnt quite ready...i had only ordered 1 week prior....like no wait to be assigned vin. And it felt strange for that to happen when people who ordered in the first quarter still havent received their vehicles. felt like it had to be one that was already rejected.

    ordered black and creme on 7/29 and was literally scheduled to pick up the Plaid X 8/10.... Vin 3546xx i just passed on the vin, didnt feel right to be able to pick up the new tesla 2 weeks after ordering. Is it the most common build off the line or did someone else pass up on delivery day?

    Switching from a Model 3 Performance to a Model X Plaid, anyone done it?

    placed an order for an X Plaid last week... why is it being delivered next week?lol i just got my final MPP part installed on the 3.(compression rod bearing) my 19M3P has MPP coilovers, FUCA, camber/toe arms, brake lines and brace, smash me skid, and compression rod/ lower control arm bearings...

    Tesla 2022 Model 3 Tires

    lol im happy when i got 2500 and 3500 miles respectively out of my HK RS4 and GY F1 Supercar tires, and the upgrade to square 265 MPS4S still blows me away.... ill be ecstatic to get 8k out of the Michelins...which is the best summer tire you can possibly buy for a daily.

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    drive like a grandma asleep at the wheel, or on autopilot 100% of the time and every bushing may last the life of the car....(battery life) pull out of your driveway trying to burn rubber, and take exit ramps 100MPH daily, and YMMV. model 3 is a taxi. model 3 perf with MPP collection is a racecar

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    i was referencing the increased NVH you may experience with MPP compression rod bearings, over the inserts or stock bushing..... do you have the bearings? why are you even debating my comments? we all know there is room for improvement, so my exaggeration/opinnion really set you off? your...
  24. SFLM3P19

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    the compression rod bushing and the lower control arm bushing were both torn in less then 15k miles, is that adequate longevity with no track time? the lower control arm deterioration was not acceptable, and would have failed inevitably.... (no track time, and i went through eagle f1 supercar...
  25. SFLM3P19

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    what im saying is everyone here is looking for pretty much the best handling possible...with most considering a track day or two. im not even tracking mine lol MPP can send me their graph showing the substantial improvement with the inserts, but still having near 1mm of deflection, per side, I...

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    its not bad, no more bother then any other "sports car" What I do find more audible is braking noises, which I thoroughly enjoy. but under hard and heavy braking(like autocross braking) you will get mechanical whirring sounds....the harder I brake, and the more lateral the g forces, the more I...

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    i dont even think its about the aftermarket support so much as the actual vehicles that get put into production. From a model 3 to a Mach E, hummer to an Atlis chassis....we will have concepts which steal the narrative..(bollinger B1 is the sickest) the other car makers are irrelevant....as all...
  28. SFLM3P19

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    lol at the people on the outside that look at a model 3 and scoff.... i keep saying, outside of honda guys and oldschool JDMs....no 3rd party has addressed a need so well as MPP has done. the need is track use, but the streetability has increased 10fold

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

    is the geometry itself that much different? like angles and lengths of travel in the suspension?
  30. SFLM3P19

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    FYI, at 15k miles my compression rod bushings were not up for more abuse...much like the rest of the bushings, and why they are all now solid MPP parts. i really hope this technology and upgradability make it to the X plaid....
  31. SFLM3P19

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    "anything" is better then factory OEM condition.... i assume the shim inserts help, but it cant be as solid as the bearing replacement they have. Again, they probably work brilliantly for what it is.... but if track times are important for you, its a no brainer.
  32. SFLM3P19

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    what its really doing is removing the play in the OEM compression rod bushings....(and allowing further Caster adjustability which helps camber control with the wheel turned) The handling of these cars and most Non-Track oriented cars is impeded by the main goal of isolating and removing NVH...

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

    lets keep it to facts then....the only thing that would get me out of my Loaded Mountain Pass Model 3 Performance would be a GT2 RS...... I think im being forced to sell the m3p for a X Plaid.. im not upset, MPP should be able to make that the best SUV on the planet. (child 2 on the way)( not...
  34. SFLM3P19

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    stock compression rod to MPP inserts must be an improvement.... but the compression rod bearing upgrade is insane. That was a single item install along with an alignment and brake lines. the immediate increase in feel and handling shot me into the moon, i kid you not, this factory compression...
  35. SFLM3P19

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    yes, the downsides.... minimal i would say, i can hear rustling inside the car when under heavy braking application, maybe alittle more interior chatter on imperfect roads at speed.. not something anyone but the driver would notice on a decent highway.
  36. SFLM3P19

    MPP compression rod and control arm bearings.

    Why there is not more conversation in regards to what really improves the handling of the car astounds me. The compression rod bearing and lower control arm bushing take it to a whole new level. Now that i have most of the MPP components available (and UPP swaybars) you can really connect with...

    Best Tesla M3P performance tyres

    your lack of MPS4S up front was the issue. with my hellcat, i did MPS4S up front with drag radials in the rear... hook up and make the turn lol tried the hankook rs4 in 265 when michelins were Back Ordered. those hooked and tracked great, decent in rain, predictable and stable. just went...

    Apex 18x9.5 Wheels on 2022 M3P Hitting Knuckle

    same wheel and tire setup. definitely needs 5mm or more. I believe im running 8mm or whatever the max is for Performance stud length.... while i was on the goodyear F1 supercar 3s at 265, i rubbed through an ABS sensor wire... throw on more zip ties and be sure they run closer to the backside...

    Does anyone know what brake rotors these are?

    ill take a stab at these being Unplugged or Baer provided Brembo 2 piece rotors... they could possibly have a custom rotor hat, as i cant place a common design within the marketplace. what do you have on the front?

    2021.44.5 Uneven Tire Wear Detection

    well i can say this, i believe this system is warranted. hankook RS4's 265 on 18x9.5s with only 5-6k miles on them(stock suspension and aligned when installed) aggressive daily driving rear right is bald(5 miles of life left)or(one trip to Electrified Garage) rear left is just at wear...

    Right rear tire wearing faster...much faster..

    didnt think about the brake caliper, but will check that out. i need to understand the diff behavior better.... i dont take left turns much more then right, but maybe the outside tire slips/spins more during left turns then right. had the alignment done earlier this year when new tires went on.
  44. SFLM3P19

    Right rear tire wearing faster...much faster..

    As the title describes, my right rear tire is worn nearly bald, while the left rear still just past treadwear bar. Fronts still have half the life left it would seem. Tire shouldnt matter but its a Hankook RS4 265 18 I do drive hard, and I do slide alot on the street, but i wouldnt think it...

    Finally hit the 1/4 mile with my 21P

    i said when the turns start broseph... you need $10,000 rotors to make you go faster in a straight line lolololol if i wanted straight line speed, i would have bought a cybertruck.. so did you road course your m3p before and after? if not, you dont know if your upgrades did anything for you...
  47. SFLM3P19

    Finally hit the 1/4 mile with my 21P

    you underspent on the brakes and wheels.... setup? M3P? i would say that you need to have a M3P and utilize track mode..but i dont see how how you managed to not improve with standard racing improvements.. its not just "telsa"...they are crushing autocross
  48. SFLM3P19

    Just mashed the pedal on a Performance Model 3, OMG!

    can confirm. my Hellcat charger would require new rear tires every 3k miles or less, and a 93 oct gas pump visit 2 times a week...at least... my M3P is 10x more fun and my electricity bill is only $20 higher...if that.

    RWD & Hydroplaning

    what tires are actually on the car? my m3p with dual motors is one of the best wet handling vehicles ive owned, even with race tires. Your experience isnt totally out of line, but heavy rains and standing water is going to do this. Could there have been excessive standing water on that highway...
