P.S. I think my title is incorrect. I think both chargers are level 1. I do not understand the "B" charging kit, nor the accessories included.

I am selling - as a complete set - OEM Tesla items compatible with a USA 2020 Model 3, and maybe your own model. A. Level 1 Charger (110v); B. Another type of charger (110v?); C. Accessories with item B (as photographed); AND D. Two identical Charging Cable Zipper-type Bags, with...

Happiness, Perfection, The "Best Choice"? For each person, a different definition or path.

You can't take anything with you when you die, it can happen anytime. Still, savings are prudent. If you don't get the best "iPhone" or "Dyson" or "Tesla" now, remember, the next iteration may be even better. You're the boss. Take your time and satisfy yourself, don't look back.

However, I sometimes miss having a clutch, a stick shift, an e-brake lever, and the ability to smoke rear tires by locking up the front brakes and sending maximum torque to the rear wheels. Because destroy all tires.

As far as the model you want. Is the extra cost worth the performance - given your fiscal goals? These vehicles are fantastic, all trims. The driving features are nearly identical. Some dual motors have the option to purchase an accleration upgrade. Reasonably, it is worthwhile knowing that...

I purchased a set of 18's on tire rack. I chose sonething that was rated for my vehicle, affordable, lightweight, and attractive. Remember, our vehicles are heavy; this means higher loads on the wheels and tires. It is prudent to check both wheel and tire load and speed ratinging.

By law, in the US, the manufacturer can deny a warranty claim if you modify the vehicle - AND that they can legally, defensibly say that your modification is responsible for the warranty issue you are trying to claim. If you swap your wheels and tire configuration size to match one of the...

My thoughts are that because infrared emissions can be: Cheap Effective Invisible to our eyes My theory is that because of the above, the consumer acceptance of the technology might be higher. I am thinking that trailer roofs and sides could have the IR emissions, thus preventing collision...

My thoughts are that infrared reflection or emission can provide additional digital imaging information, that will have minimal to zero impact on the appearance of the vehicle in the visible spectrum. Furthermore, I believe at infrared wavelengths, the radiation of these energies penetrate...

Oh, yes, and one last suggestion to improve overall performance: Weight reduction. Generally, faster everywhere.

Yes. Intended use is important! Some people drive a street car on the track. Some people drive a race car (unlawfully - sometimes) on the streets. If you want to street, but you want uncompromised performance, buy the best performing parts. Anytime someone says that you are compromising too...

Lindenwood, Yes, I am interested in the potential of our hardware under different effective gear ratios. Specifically, linear forward acceleration (as you wrote).

Folks, please chime in on this idea: Some digital cameras are able to image light in part of the infrared specturm (try shooting a beam from your remote control at your cell phone's camera). Because cameras are able to dectect infrared light, why not make infrared as a part of the solutions to...

I agree. If you want a bang for the buck handling improvement, I would proceed as follows: A. *BEST* tires (whatever that means to your intended use); B. Sway bars, coilovers OR lowering springs (intended use is important, again); C. Reduce rotational mass and unsprung mass (to potentially go...

For what it's worth: My aim in all of this was to anticipate, and then real-world investigate, the outcome of utilizing tires with different rolling diameters. In part, I wanted to determine if there was some sort of software/hardware configuration that may yield different performance. Thus...

Thanks for the input! Sorry guys, that's all you get for free. :)

My source on tire wheel combinations. - Is the source correct? I am not 100% certain. As I stated, I calculated some non OE options. Any questions?

Borrow my non-OEM lower profile tires and see for yourself.

Test for yourself. In my testing, there is zero evidence to suggest that there is a "target" accleration rate. My testing suggests that there is a level of effort target that operates the drivetrain within thermal and electrical current limitations (safety margin programmed). As far as an...

Excellent points. Sky is the limit with powertrain swaps. From a lawnmower engine to a rocket.

Attached is a list of M3 OEM tire sizes - rolling diameters and theoretical top speeds (20 inch assumed for theoretical top speed, 18 inch as baseline for ratio of rolling diameter) - also a couple of tire options I wanted to see the numbers crunched on. As you can see, approved OEM tire sizes...

It's my understanding that a Tesla powertrain on a Model S has been mechanically upgraded to a different Model S drivetrain. I think single motor to dual motor. In the same vein: Is it possible to transplant hardware from a Model S Plaid - and make any custom necessary hardware solutions - to...

When I had my noises, I needed both lubrication and a new strut. If not suggested, this is a maintence item that is not frequently discussed today, but common in the past (even used to be grease fittings for the job): Lubricate your suspension joints by way of injecting lithium grease with a...

I did not do extensive tesing, nothing more than lots of road driving, and spirited bits when safe to do so. The only *nag warnings* I encountered was engaging traction management frequently with the lower profile tires. I am *not* a subject matter expert qualified to confirm this with...

I am mentally ill. Disregard my bad behavior when it occurs. It's not an excuse, just an explunation. First, this is a hardware modification. Second, this is applicable to pretty much anything with wheels. Third, this DOES NOT change the actual peak output potential of the motors - just like...

So, nevermind about additional data; Properly secured Dragy or not. Yes, linear velocity increase should come with flat torque. The slope of the velocity is near constant - thus its derivative (accleration) is also relatively constant and flat. Oops! I didn't consider the data carefully enough...

You kiss your husband with that mouth? Shame...

Good notes. It did seem fishy. My mount was not 100% secure. Will attempt to collect data with static mount. As far as "wasting time" (you must be a joy, living life "glass half empty"). The accleration graph data may have good reason to be inaccurate. - However, this car is clearly nerfed. I...

The purpose of this post is for our community to collectively realize improved performance, for the Model 3 Performance. In summation, the community needs to repeatedly - after full accleration inputs - bug report the following: "Accleration force varies by over 40%. Rated performance not...

***SOLD*** Greetings everyone, thank you for your interest. Payment has been received. These wheels and tires now belong to someone else. I am sorry if you really wanted these. I look forward to participating more on this forum. ***SOLD***

To all interested parties: An individual has accepted my offer in private. In the unfortunate event that this deal does not finalize: 1. You may reserve your place in line by sending me a direct message on this forum. 2. One at a time, I will offer the opportunity to purchase to interested...

I have been asked to separate the tires from the wheels, final pricing is as follows: All 4 wheels: $1000 All 4 tires: $250 Wheels and tires: $1250 Buyer pays shipping, or for me to personally deliver in Florida or Georgia. Selling at great terms to facilitate rapid sale, for the purpose of...

Thank you for the suggestions. I just want a quicker sale, and I am happy to give a fellow Enthusiast a good deal. I did post on Craigslist in 3 Florida cities, I should probably update my price, but I figured on Craigslist that I would be lowballed anyway. As for FB, I avoid online social...

I have decided that my asking price is too steep. $1250 for the wheel and tires. All wheels are A-, except one wheel, which is B+. Will ship anywhere with payment made in advance. Buyer pays for shipping. Florida and Georgia delivery available.

One last thing, to be 100% transparent: My new wheels and hardware (lug nuts) are expected to arrive this Friday, the 22nd. I will be at a Gainesville tire shop doing the swap on that day.

Alternatively, I would meet you at a Supercharger, halfway. In the event of extensive travel from Gainesville, Florida 32606. I would expect a $100/day perdiem, to cover my travel expenses.

I am uncertain how to PM. I am willing to ship. For anyone interested, directly message me with the following: 1. I would need instructions on exactly how you want it shipped. 2. You would incur all shipping costs. 3. You are willing to pay before I ship (willing to send pictures or proof the...
