    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation

    I doubt that. Aren't you calculating the horsepower from the torque?

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation

    Out of curiosity, could you please include the combination of Panasonic battery with 3D6 rear motor and 450NM torque. It looks like you've assumed 840A and 430NM for both the 3D1 and 3D6?

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation

    Something as quick as the M3P to sixty, with more power above a hundred, 19” wheels and adjustable dampers would be good. Hard to tell if I’d exchange my 2022Q1 for one just yet. Personally I’m not looking for anything faster.

    Problem is that the Panasonic pack has even more power at 50C https://tff-forum.de/t/wiki-akkuwiki-model-3-model-y/107641/1841

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation

    There's a very informative thread over on TFF Forum by @eivissa that compares the 3L and 5L batteries. The power of the Panasonic pack is always greater than the LG, except below 16% to 22% SoC, depending upon temperature. At this SoC both are underperforming. AIUI the new rear motor in the...

    UK Charge Point Installer Recommendations

    PEN fault protection, in addition to the RCB you already have. Personally I’d rely on an electrician who also has the kit to test the installation.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation

    Pats Q1 2022 M3P with the Panasonic 3L pack and the 3D6 hairpin motor that is reported to give increased high speed torque. It will be interesting if they can find ways of putting more power down at low speeds and further increasing the high speed torque.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation

    For the Highland 3P to have increased performance it’s going to need a more powerful battery pack isn’t it? The ‘21MY is rated 377kW and the 3L battery can source up to 430kW in optimal conditions.

    Trade in value

    When I bought my M3P in March 2022, for £61k, I looked at the Guaranteed Future Value on finance and thought it could never be worth as little as £21k! I got a trade-in offer the other day. Under 2 years old with 22k miles, valued at £28,100. Just looked at what's for sale in certified used...

    Rear trunk corrosion

    Just for the sake of closure, my car was with Pronto Accident Repair Centre in Norwich for 10 days. I can’t fault the repair and Tesla Service returned it fully valeted and looking good as new.

    Rear trunk corrosion

    I use Autoglym shampoo which I’ve found to prevent corrosion on my other cars. I live about 400m from the sea and used to have to wipe over an old Land Rover Series 2 I owned with ACF-50.

    Rear trunk corrosion

    In my case the corrosion is not propagating from the seam. It is on the surface of the underside of the trunk lid between the rubber seal on the rear window and the rubber seal around the trunk aperture. IMO it looks like the holes in the rear window seal, designed to avoid water entering the...

    Rear trunk corrosion

    Mine is now booked into Norwich on the 22nd. I assume it’s going out to a local body shop. The corrosion is quite extensive with some loose paint, so a quick blow over won’t do.

    Rear trunk corrosion

    Cleaned the car today in readiness for a visit from Tesla Service to install an o-ring to the trunk power strut. Noticed what looks like corrosion on the underside of the trunk lid, and pointed it out to Tesla Service. He concurred and said it will need to go to the body shop. Disappointing on...

    [uk specific] Software 2023.32

    Well, I'm going to eat my own words about Tesla doing nothing about my issues. The tech just called me to discuss my experience with 2023.32.9, specifically with regard to the GPS accuracy. I had let them know that problem had not yet reoccurred. He cited two other customers who have raised the...

    Panasonic v LG Batteries

    Possibly not statistically relevant but I just passed 20k miles in my 3L equipped M3P. It’s showing 17 miles (5%) loss of EPA range and 75.x kWh energy from multiplying average consumption by range in the energy app. I actually gained a few ‘lost’ miles by letting it sit at 100% for a few hours...

    I did a 450 mile trip from Suffolk to Yorkshire and back yesterday. Experienced four significant issues with 2023.32.7 1. GPS location is inaccurate causing the car to be located alongside the road it is on. Frequent incorrect instructions to turn left/right/u-turn which is distracting. 2...

    [uk specific] Software 2023.32

    First long drive on 2023.32.7 today up the A1. Two major problems. 1. The GPS location is about 30m out so every time there’s a minor road alongside the one you’re on it throws random turn off/on/u-turn instructions. 2. On cruise it has decided that 35mph is the correct speed to merge/leave a...

    Panasonic v LG Batteries

    I think it means that the 5L can regenerate (sink) more power at lower temperatures and higher states of charge. It can just brake regeneratively a little harder, which doesn’t mean it’s more efficient, in the sense of providing greater range.
  27. milesr3

    Panasonic v LG Batteries

    No. The regeneration of the 5L is not more efficient, assuming the brakes are not used.

    I've had mine six months / 7k miles now and don't regret it. The stretched tyre fitment is stupid though.
