    Coworker With A C6 Z06 Keeps Wanting To Race

    When someone says they want to drag race until 80 mph, typically it's not who reaches 80 mph faster, but who is ahead at 80 mph. A M3P should be ahead on the streets by the time the Z06 hits 80 mph. This video is a FBO z06, the same as what OPs opponent has, vs a M3P. It even has the same...

    Coworker With A C6 Z06 Keeps Wanting To Race

    You will win, esp if he only wants to race till around 80 mph. I wouldn't even hesitate. 2007s do not come with launch control.

    Boombox killed off - what’s next?

    Does 2022.4.5.18 disable the boombox while in drive? Version 2022.4.5.5 still has this feature.

    All Season Tires for 20” Uberturbine Wheels

    But they do clear. Show them this photo from the Tesla website. They offer 245/35/20. Also, I just had Continental DWS06+ tires installed on my M3P last Friday. They are 245/35/20. I sent Tire Rack the photo from Teslas website and they shipped them for me. They too, expressed concern that it...

    Worth an SC visit?

    I would schedule a service and I'll tell you why. I had an issue where the part of my passenger door that meets up with the drivers door stuck out a little, and I quickly started to develop little white chips on the leading edge since it protruded out past the bodyline of the car. With that...

    HDPE/Track Day Insurance

    We can go one step further. In 2009, if you bought a Nissan GTR and used launch control ANYWHERE, doesn't need to be on the track, your on the hook for a new transmission if you happen to break it. This is an automatic car, with a mode specifically designed to launch the car. I bring this up...

    M3P hesitates with new rims in 1/4 mile run

    Couldn't you go into the software and tell your car that your wheels are a different diameter and then measure the power output with scanmytesla to see if the car changes its power characteristics based on wheel diameter? Maybe that's the secret, tell your car that your running larger diameter...

    I was just going by what Bjorn showed on his Youtube channel on how to install one of these.

    2021 Performance Model 3 - Several questions from a driver.

    Most Tesla owners are not going to pop off the back of the center console in front of the center rear seat and leave an OBD scanner hanging out of it, in order to tell if the battery is able to get up to temperature. Some floor mats, like the 3D MAXspider, compound the situation since feeding...

    2021 Performance Model 3 - Several questions from a driver.

    1. @Sam1 The issues I've been experiencing in cold weather with my 2021 P3D is that there's no easy way to heat the battery. In older models, the resistive heater (from what I understand) helped a lot in getting the cars up to operating temperature. In my M3P, even if I navigate to a...

    Tesla Model 3 Acceleration Software Limited? [model 3P]

    I'm not an EE either but it doesn't make sense to me that a M3P driving uphill will (reportedly) pull more power than on a flat surface if the M3P's motors are at the max safe limit already. On a slightly related note, the 2021 M3P seems to be affected by the battery charge state much more...

    Tesla Model 3 Acceleration Software Limited? [model 3P]

    Did Ingenext say the motor itself was maxed out, or that the pre 2021 battery pack was the limiting factor?

    Tesla Model 3 Acceleration Software Limited? [model 3P]

    I think what @Mahamilto is saying is that it's misleading because they pick and choose when to apply that metric within a seemingly standard measurement across the entire model lineup. It would be akin to Tesla marketing some cars' range as highway only range, and some as EPA range, in order to...
