(moderator note) Moved from the Model 3 Performance speculation thread ==================================== Just to be clear, ICE cars don’t at all maintain a constant motive force just because they can shift “back to peak HP.” You’ll see in both scenarios the vehicles’ available wheel...

I have been trying to track down a heavy rattling clunk and found this. I previously experienced a similar noise and re-torquing the shock shaft nut fixed it, but the noise is back after an AutoX and 500 miles. The noise mostly happens with low load on this corner (I.e. on the back side of...

Sold. They have some scuffing and rubber particles stuck to them from 20k miles of use, but are otherwise functional. I upgraded to full spherical bearings and no longer need them. You can definitely tell the difference in handling precision, but I did not experience any increase in NVH...

I swapped from Comfort to Sport coils in my MPP Coilovers kit. MPP mentioned that they occasionally get people with the Sport kit wanting the Comforts for a softer ride, so I figured I’d put them up here. I am in eastern NM so I am sure there is zero local market to not have to ship. I expect...

1) I understand the center panel is just held in place with sealant, but I also understand the rear glass is supposed to be structural. But, how is the rear glass actually attached? 2) If one removes / disconnects the rear glass defroster, would the car throw any fits? Bottom line, I am just...

I noticed the different wheels yesterday when looking at the app. I was initially freaked out because these do look like my wheels (which happen to look like the TSportlines TS5), but it occurred to me that the car might simply be recognizing the TSportline TPMS sensors and telling the app I put...

For all the #noshim folks, can you give me an order of magnitude estimate for tire wear if I run 2.5+ degrees camber daily? I will be running 0 degrees camber and I am very aware that bad toe is what scrubs tires quickly. But, with 0 toe am I looking at 90% of normal tire life?…50% of normal...

I ran these H&R 28659-1 for about 1.5k miles, but ended up on full adjustable Coilovers because I am getting into racing. Just cleaning out my garage.

As described, I am just curious if we can display those data. Even before, I have always tried to keep generally aware of weather and winds during road trips for my own edification and preparation. I usually just do it with a weather app, but can the car just display the data it already has...

I have adjustable MPP Coilovers, F/R camber arms, rear toe arms, and compression rod inserts sitting in my garage that I will install next weekend. I did my first AutoX last weekend, and loved it, so I expect to keep that up as a 6-9 events-per-year past-time. That said, while I have a very...

Is it possible to disable or delay the “Auto On” functionality of the vehicle? Sometimes I’ll go out to the car to grab something out of the passenger seat an hour after I get home, or go out there before bed to put something I don’t want to forget in the car. In such cases, when I open the door...

$250 shipped from Middle-of-Nowhere New Mexico (as in, I think there are 3 Model 3s in my town, and I am not driving an hour and a half to meet meet anyone else :P . I can’t guarantee no blemishes, but any that exist would only be noticed by an insane person once actually mounted on the vehicle.

I bought these a few months back and mounted into wheels that I decided not to use. They may have minor scuffs and blemishes from mounting and un-mounting, but were otherwise carefully handled. $250 shipped.

I tend to move around a lot, so I chose to simply install a 14-50 outlet near the breaker panel using basic parts from the hardware store. I rely 100% on my Mobile Connector for daily charging. Additionally, I travel a good bit, and thus find myself plugging into a 120v outlet (though I recently...

By my math, while lifting I am about 30% below the stress required to cause permanent deformation of the longitudinal beams (permanent deformation being even, say, 1mm of permanent bend), but significantly below the point of mechanical failure. Of course, stress goes to near zero once the jack...

Has anyone ground a few mm off of M3P brakes to fit undersized 18s? Primarily to smooth the ride and avoid damaging the 20” wheels on our rough roads, I bought some Enkei RPF1s in 18x9 (17.1lb each) after reading several reports of people fitting various 18s from this brand over MP3 brakes...

I have been searching for any comments on this, but no luck. Lots of discussions on camber, but I have only seen caster ever mentioned in broad comments about the general ability to adjust “camber/caster” with the UCA carriage or differential turnbuckle movement on some aftermarket arms...
