    Debating the switch to 18 inch wheels from the 20 inch inductions

    I too am looking for a similar set-up for the same reasons. I would like a LRR tire option, and was pleased with them on my M3, but do not see that size on Hankook's site. https://www.hankooktire.com/us/en/tire/ion/evo-as-suv.html I see the following: iON evo AS 235/45R18 XL = 26.33" Diameter...

    Made My Own Wireless Phone Charging Pad! 2024 MYLR

    Tein EnduraPro Plus - Should I modify bump stop?

    "no difference I can tell" - can you elaborate please. No difference as a consequence of trimmed bumpers? No difference compared to what? What model and year? Wheel size? Thanks,

    Comfort Suspension Details

    MattM24 just installed the Koni's on his 2020 MYLR, with 235/55R18 XL104 Nokian Hakka R3 winter tires. He indicates that "The car drives a lot smoother over crappy roads. It feels more like a normal car now". I'm not sure how that would translate to a 2024 MYLR, already having the "comfort...

    Help me decide on my next tires! (Michelin Cross Climate, Sport Pilot AS, Continental ExtremeContact DWS)

    I replaced my OEM Continentals with the Hankook iON EVO on my M3 and liked them better - in all aspects (smoother ride, quieter, similar range). I recently traded my M3 for a 2024 MYLR and will replace the OEM Pirelli tires once worn with the same Hankook's. Here is a link, they are not cheap...

    Comfort Suspension Details

    So, what are the technical differences between the MY "Comfort Suspension" and the standard one (Springs/Coils, Struts, Bushings, ect...)? Is this "Comfort Suspension" a selectable option? Is it included in all new MY's? Is it designated as an option anywhere on new MY purchase vehicles as...

    Highland 18 vs 19 wheels

    The ride quality advantage of 18" should carry over into the highland, as a constant. The suspension improvements could diminish in effectiveness with time/wear, as with most cars.

    Tesla launches Model 3 Highland refresh in North America - No Performance model listed as of 01.10.2024

    Anyone noticing a significant improvement in the ride quality, over bumps and potholes? My 19 LR (125K miles) has become a bit of a rattlebox, with a go-cart suspension.

    Tesla launches Model 3 Highland refresh in North America - No Performance model listed as of 01.10.2024

    Have they arrived on dealer lots yet? Albeit a subjective analysis, I can't wait until an experienced Gen 1 M3 owner test drives a "Highland" and reports back on ride quality - when driven on typical American roads, not newly paved EU test routes. 125,000 miles on my 2019 M3, time for a break...

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    I am sure that the ride has improved, and yes the reviews state "quieter/smoother ride", when tested on a smooth roads / restricted test routes, along with other unknown variables (tire psi)... The roads I regularly commute on don't look anything like the ones in the test videos. Gonna have...

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    Difficult to gather from the review(s), but I wonder how much smoother/softer of a ride the M3 Highland will have in comparison to my 2019 M3 LR?

    Reuters: "Tesla readies revamped Model 3 with project 'Highland' -sources" [projected 3rd quarter 2023]

    Not implying that this is why Tesla may be doing it, but Drive-by-Wire would be an option for achieving speed sensitive steering response. This may be a possible solution to having a non-round steering wheel, and eliminating the need for full rotations to turn.

    Reuters: "Tesla readies revamped Model 3 with project 'Highland' -sources" [projected 3rd quarter 2023]

    Please add, or offer, a softer riding suspension. Don't want to pay twice the price for an S just for the ride.

    Suspension + Rough Road Question?

    Like others have suggested, consider the 18" wheel option for slight ride improvement. I have the 19" sport wheels and regret not going with the 18". The 18" wheels also provide a slight increase in range. While these cars may be considered a "luxury" vehicle, not your typical luxury car ride...

    UGH - The smell of it. [AC Smell]

    Installed rain deflector, cleaned the evaporator coil, TWICE consecutively with Kool-It Foam Cleaner, installed new filters, and was minty fresh. Washed the car 1 week later and odor returned...

    Upper Control Arm Creak Options

    He stated that it does not impact the alignment settings, and is replacing a "fixed position direct matching part". The suspension is simply lowered down, pivoting on lower linkage, and then lifted directly back up into position. I took the car to a local alignment shop, and determined it to be...

    Tires Designed for EVs

    As these are the only tire that I have ever experienced on my Tesla, I can't really compare. They seem relatively quiet and smooth riding, despite the inherent stiff suspension and 19" wheel size. If I inflate over 42 psi they seem a bit too harsh for my liking. I ran them until 3/32" tread...
