I have been trying to see what I can do to improve efficiency with my 2022 Model 3 Performance. I changed from the 20” Uberheavy wheels to 18” wheels with Michelin PS4S tires and that helped efficiency significantly. It was an almost 6% improvement in efficiency over stock @ 60 mph average...

Tesla DEFINITELY needs some extraordinary news after this report. I really think this Model 3 Ludicrous will be a significant step up from the current Model 3 Performance...

I had to switch to all season tires recently. I decided to get the Hankook iON EVO AS tires because they offer great tread life, exceptional efficiency, and they are cheap. However, I was expecting a severe hit to acceleration because everyone kept telling me that all season tires have terrible...

I installed the 235/45/18 Hankook iON EVO All Season tires on my 2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance with T Sportline TS5 18x8.5 wheels last week. I have done a very controlled efficiency test with the tires below. The test is a 25 mile loop around our beltway that starts and stops at the same...

Tesla has reduced Model Y and Model 3 prices DRASTICALLY. Now several models will qualify for the $7,500 tax incentive until at least March. Here is a picture of the price reductions. It is important to note which cars will now qualify for the tax credits and which won’t. Model 3 RWD...

I have finally decided to see how fast I really can go at the Dragstrip. The last Test and Tune of the season is next Saturday and I want to make the car lighter. I tried removing the front passenger seat. I got down to where there were only two cables attached to the seat but I couldn't figure...

There have been several reports and videos demonstrating how 2023 Tesla cars without the USS(proximity sensors) will not come with any proximity functionality. Now, it is certainly possible that these features will be re-enabled by using the cameras instead of the sensors in a future update...

I was offered $65,800 for my 2022 Model 3 Performance over the summer from Vroom. Now their offer is over $20,000 lower at $45,483. Carvana’s latest offer was about $47k so not much better. The market has officially collapsed for Model 3s. The online car dealers have so many of these cars...

There has been a lot of debate about what effects smaller and lighter wheels have on the Model 3 Performance. I am here to end that debate. Stock the Model 3 Performance now comes with 20" UberTurbine wheels with 235/35/20 Pirelli PZ4 tires. Those wheels weigh 32 lbs and the combined wheel...

I have searched everywhere and I still can’t find a good video or even some pictures describing what is involved in removing the rear seat backs and the front seat in the Model 3. I want to do this simply to cut weight for the dragstrip. However, I want to know if there are any issues with...

So after a ton of research I have finally decided to upgrade or in this case downgrade my wheels. I have a goal of maximizing acceleration and efficiency just not at the same time. I just purchased a set of 18" TSportline wheels with 235/45/18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. These are 22 lb...
