    2021 M3P OEM Tow Bar retrofit

    How heavy is the caravan? For others: what is heaviest thing you've towed with a standard rear frame (unmodified car)

    Exceeding the 1000kg towing rating by 500kg

    Nice to have someone who really knows this stuff. We were all posting on believes rather than knowledge. Is there anything that I can do from abroad without requiring to weld or any intrusive labor intensive operation and still toe 1500Kg. Maybe getting a stronger than OEM hitch. Will that help...

    Exceeding the 1000kg towing rating by 500kg

    For sure. I gave the SR1 future plans to motivate why I would not considere straight away the switch to model y. I was thinking maybe by upgrading the towbar I can keep the model 3 and also move around the ep3. But you pretty much answered this as well... Today I went to the MOT equivalent with...

    Exceeding the 1000kg towing rating by 500kg

I didn't want to go thru the hassle because I plan anyhow to upgrade my current race car (Honda Civic type-r ep3 - 1000kg) to a Radical SR1 (500kg). So even with the model 3 lr I should be able to pull it. My trailer is...

    Exceeding the 1000kg towing rating by 500kg

    I must dearly thank you all for your replies. I asked because the 1000kg towing rate on a model 3 LR is very low, below my ancient mk5 Golf GTI. I was thinking that maybe this is due to range or god knows what regulation that limits the rating to 1000kg. But now it is clear that I should be...

    Exceeding the 1000kg towing rating by 500kg

    How bad is someone asking for trouble by towing with a Model 3 LR (with tow bar fitted from factory) a 400kg trailer with 1100kg car on it? I'm not talking about the obvious legal issue due to over-exceeding the 1000kg rating. I'm more interested if the the car can suffer major frame, motor...

    Effect of wider tires on range

    I'm thinking of scrapping the 20" Uberturbines and Pirelli tires from my (soon to be delivered) M3P in favor of 19"x9.5J ET34 wheels with Michelin PilotSport 4S 265/35R19 (square setup). I was able to find plenty of info about ET, J, tire sizes and so on but nothing (at least not consolidated)...
