For some fast street driving in the Plaid, what rotors do you guys recommend: UP or MPP, and why? MPP uses standard size pads so big selection, known to be high quality stuff. UP has larger anulus pads but can only use their pads (makes a difference?) Also claim big weight savings (how much...

"Might" hold...only daydreaming at this point. This world wonder highland version has not failed to disappoint until now, not expecting anything more than meh at this point.

Regarding the EU variant, I really doubt 460hp with the improved rear engine is faster than my 530hp Panasonic M3P (which is proven way faster than the LG one although quoted same hp)

Hey guys, Do you think retrofitting the new rear motor in the M3P Highland to the previous Model 3 Performance will be something possible to do in the future? Since they have the same battery...

I live in Europe and as a matter of principle I will never buy this car as long as it being sold with way less hp for the same price as in the States. Like, what are we, the town's idiots? I don't want the trash version of the car, no thanks.

What a sad joke... 200 hundred pages with daydreaming, for a slow turd with no USS, no stalks. I told you guys this thing is gonna be a huge disappointment. But no, "2.5, 10.5" 🤣

So many? We only care about one thing and we know nothing

Man all this free speculation is so tiresome. Wouldn't it spare everyone alot of time if we all just Shut Up and wait for the actual reveal and reviews? "I think it.s gonna be 2.6...no..2.9...no...2.7..". It's like kindergarden in here.

I also have this "unicorn" M3P but I live in Europe so we will be getting the lousy LG. If this Highland doesn't have 100hp over the current one, hell no for me. I already have a feeling it is going to be a dissapointment. Lose the USS, the stalks, the Panasonic, pay another 10k...for what...

These are Model S LR specs (range considerably better) for M3LR money

Have you guys seen the Xiaomi SU7? Is it me or is this thing blowing the future M3PH out of the water? Because it looks hella good SU7 Max Performance version – 299,900 yuan (41,500 USD) 101 kWh CATL Qilin 800 km CLTC range 0-100km/h acceleration in 2.78 seconds, 265 km/h top speed Xiaomi...

These "legacy" automakers man... LOOK WE IMPROVED OUR CAR, IT'S ALMOST AS FAST AS THE PLAID, YOU CAN HAVE IT FOR 250k. I mean, if you got too much money and you don`t have any use for it, sure, you can pay 150k over the Plaid to have nicer interior materials, if it's that important.

The additional lighting is really nice but this thing basically obstructs the whole cooling intake in the bumper, which is there for a reason

This happens to me as well. But not when flooring it, to have traction issues. Sometimes when I press the "gas", for something like half a second it won`t accelerate, like a hiccup, then it starts going, instead of the usual instant go...is it an issue? Tesla service is 300 miles away.

Hey there, Anyone buying the ceramic brakes for the Plaid, care to weigh in the stock system and the ceramic one (rotors, calipers), so we can see the weight savings? Thanks!

Fact: pre-facelift cars are just bad :) get a new Model S LR if you want good cooling and sustained performance.

15K for a front / rear ceramic kit is a steal imo, you`re right

Hey guys, In my last post I showed you a braking kit from Rotora front + rear (I really like kits upgrading the rear caliper, I have a fixation with upgrading the rear caliper cuz 1 piston slider calipers are gayyy, just my personal opinion, f.off :D), and some people discarded it hard because...

They don`t have it posted on their website, it`s very lacking at the moment. I want to upgrade the brakes because one full stop from 150mph and you`re pretty much out of brakes with the stock ones; at this price it`s very resonable for what you get. Only way to buy these is to contact Rotora by...

I bought the car second hand with 10000 miles from someone, 2022 model. So, if I go to the Service and say "I get alot of wind noise because of this huge misalignment over here", they won`t do anything about it?

Yesterday when I finished washing my car I noticed a very disturbing detail: the glass roof on the driver side seems to be "sagged", deformed, way lower. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is it a problem or how Tesla would call it..."in spec"?

I remembered I saw a nice braking kit front + rear for the M3 from Rotora and sent them an email. It looks like they have one for the Plaid / LR as well! STREET CHALLENGE / Street-Use AXLE CALIPER DISC SIZE DISC TYPE LIST SALE Front 8-Piston 405x36mm 2-Piece $4,295 $3,006.50...

Just found this coilover kit (newly released) and am very tempted to cancel my KW V3 order and get these Bilsteins: https://www.tevo.solutions/suspension/model-3-bilstein-coilovers Problem is that I don`t think anyone tried it yet and the guinea pig idea is pretty risky :D What do you guys...

Hey there, Was chillin` on Google regarding brake options for the Plaid and stumbled upon this hidden gem (I know, nobody heard of this): https://www.materialmord-racing.de/shop/Tesla-Model-S-Plaid-Carbon-Keramik-Bremsanlage-p535142524 Looks like these guys mashed up bits and pieces from...

Hey, I had a 2019 RS5, stage 2, 570HP, pulled like a mofo till 150mph. Jumped on the M3P wagon, love the tech, the instant throttle response, the not paying 200 dollars for gas each week. But after 70mph it feels like it falls on it`s face. Can barely pass a 3000 diesel flooring it. Is it just...

Ceramic brakes are nice when they are properly sized (Tesla ones seem to be, UP seem not), and even then only for street driving. Some spirited driving and they retain so much heat in them that they can literally melt everything around them, compared to iron brakes which at a certain temp fade...

I had the KV V3s on my 2019 RS5, the car handled like it was on rails, just incredible, did not seem too stiff for my taste, just glued to the tarmac. The thing is that the stock suspension is a little boat like, and somehwhat stiff, but compared to the RS5 with the KW`s, I really don`t get why...

UP says the Mild springs are way softer than the stock ones, so technically it should solve the rebound control problem of the stock dampers, and a 0.7 inch drop is exactly what I am looking for (will cut the stops in half to get more travel). I ordered the KW V3`s but now I am thinking that...

Hello, Has anyone mounted recently Unplugged Mild Lowering Springs on their 3 Performance (preferably 2021+)? If yes, can you share feedback on how they ride vs stock?

Hello, Has anyone tried / considered retrofitting the rear 2 piston calipers with the separate parking brake from the older Model S to the Plaid? Might be an inexpensive upgrade if it works (I like Teslas but f their "remove everything we can" to make more money; 30k profit per car isn't...

Hello, I have 2 Model 3`s 2022 and one account. I set my seat, steering wheel, mirrors in one car, save, then when I enter the other car and select the profile, seat and steering wheel adjust like in the first car but the mirrors are way off. So the settings for the mirrors in one car are wrong...

So Plaid brakes burst in flames after 2 hard brakes from 130mph (totally plausible situation in daily driving if you want to have a moment of fun) and I am to believe that OEM pads are well thought and good quality? I am not saying good for Nordschleife, but I want to have brakes not mush after...

just a matter of time until it fails completely

Hey, No because it stopped making any sound so I didnt want to go there and look like a fool :) . But guess what! The ticking is back today! I decided to wait until something fails for good...

Hey guys, Regarding a subject beaten to death and beyond: brake pads; for spirited driving, don`t think I`ll be hitting the track. Model 3 Perf. 1. Ferodo DS2500 (400 USD) 2. Unplugged Street & Track (600 USD) 3. Endless MX72 (800 USD) Any experience with any of these? Wouldn`t sacrifice...

Mine was ticking like 2 times at a time and then stopped; then it started ticking more and more, now it does like 20 times before it stops. I made a service appointment and VOILA! It stopped! No more ticking for 2 days now! I swear these bloody cars know when you want to take them to the...

please do

Someone replied on a Facebook group that his 2022 SR is in the Tesla shop with exactly this sound and they are replacing the heat pump 🤯 fml brand new car....he also said the car is there for 3 weeks now because Tesla doesn't have a replacement

Sorry, posted the wrong link

Managed to get another video Some say it's a failling heat pump?? Car is a 22 Model 3 LR with 5k miles...

Hey guys, Would like to know get an INFORMED opinion on what's worse for the battery: higher charge or higher discharge? If I need to go on a long trip, without the possibility of charging along the way, is it better to charge to like 90% and get there with 15% or charge to 99% and get there...

You can hear it very clearly at 0:07

Hey guys, I get alot of this "woodpecker" sound coming from the dash, in park or driving slow. Any idea what it could be? (Check reddit link for vid)

Hello, Hoping that the vast knowledge of this forum can help me decide on two issues regarding the brakes (Model 3 Perf, will be seeing some spirited canyon driving, no tracking, but I have a little obsession with having the best of everything :D on my car) 1. Will be putting on the 380mm...
