    FS: Anti Sway Roll Bar Set Front & Rear for Model 3 by Eibach Number E40-87-001-01-11 New In Box. SoCal

    I purchased this new for my 2021 M3P. However, before I got a chance to install it on my M3P, it was swapped out for a 2022 Model S. Prefer to sell locally as box is quite large to ship. I’m in Orange County, CA. Can meet you half way in LA, SD or Riverside County. $380 with free local delivery.

    GEICO low rates for Tesla

    I had USAA and on the renewal this month my rates were stupid expensive for ‘22 S Long Range and a ‘22 Hyundai SUV. About $450 a month. Got several quotes and in the end GEICO was 1/2 the cost of USAA, State Farm, AAA, etc. About $250 for both cars. Tesla insurance wanted $350 just for the S...

    Elon gives me Cat Quest but no Energy app?

    I liked the Energy screen on my M3P. Noticed it was missing on my 2022 Model S. Found out that despite no icon I could launch Energy using verbal commands. Now with the latest software update the Energy App is gone. Come on, you spend time to develop Cat Quest but delete practical apps? You add...

    Moving from 2021 M3P to 2022 S. Thoughts?

    Anyone here transition from M3P to an S and how did you like the change? I really like driving the M3P. This week unexpectedly I got upgraded to a 2022 S. Initial impression is that acceleration 0-60 is identical. However once over 60 the S has more to give. Better acceleration from S is only...

    Hit a pothole and got 2 flats on my Model 3 Performance

    Yesterday I drove over a small defect in the roadway at about 35-40 MPH with my 2021 M3P that has 20" rims with Pirelli tires. It was a small rectangular section of roadway about 6" x 8" and maybe 3/4" or less deep that the asphalt was missing from an incomplete road repair. The sidewall on both...

    Why Did 2021 M3P go with 9" wide 20" rims instead of 8.5"?

    Anyone know the reason for going 1/2" wider on 2021 rims and using the same size tire? Seems to me that's adding more aerodynamic drag without any additional contact area of the tire with the road. I never cared for the stretched look on tires vs a more square sidewall look.

    Secure your Model 3 Trunk in 3 minutes Without Buying Anything!

    After 3D printing and installing a trunk lock mod, I didn't like it as a piece broke soon after I installed it, and it took up some clearance in the trunk. So I designed a free lock mod that anyone can build in 3-5 minutes with free and easy to get parts. All you need is a free paint stir stick...

    How often does your M3P get rebooted? Disillusioned after 25 days.

    Today is day 25 of ownership. I've averaged more that 1 reboot per week. I think I'm on #5 as of today. (MCU crash when accessing owner's manual, while backing up 2x, something I already forgot, and the latest was today to stop my trunk from continuously opening and closing.) No other auto...
