Using a reliable system like V-Box or Dragy?

Guessing weight to be approx. 6000 lbs. With tri motor HP roughly 1100 (per plaid+ specs) the CT should be able to run mid 10s at the dragstrip. Can't wait to beat some sports cars at the strip.

For BMW in the US, the X3 is their best selling vehicle. The X3 is the source of most of the profits for BMW in the USA. I just spec'd out a M40i X3 with white interior and gray 20" wheels. It costs $63K. My wifes Model Y with same trim will cost $56K The Model Y is the same weight as the...

My steering wheel used to telescope and move up/down with several inches of travel. For some reason it only moves about 1/2" now, I have a mobile service request and the tech comes out Thursday. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced same?

Error - Cookies Turned Off So just to clarify. Midevil warm period confirmed in NA, Europe, Africa, Grrenland and Antarctica. But, it was not global :rolleyes:

I have an AWD and with previous 8% and now pending 5% bump I calculate my car at 392 hp. Am I doing that right? I'm also thinking AWD will now be 3.9 sec car (w/rollout) which puts it even with BMW M3 and Alfa Quad. Performace models both. Then I'm thinking the original hp number for P3D was...

Ever stop and wonder how in the world Tesla can charge 100,000 cars in a quarter of production? DO they charge them to 50% before they leave the factory? I know when I arrive home from a road trip, by energy consumption can easily exceed 100kwh in one day. How to they get enough power to...

Bad news this weekend was that I picked up a screw in one of my tires. And no shop in my area could repair the tire. I had 18,500 miles on the 19" OEM Contis and they were close to end of life. The good news is I replaced them with the Pilot Sport 4S (non acoustic foam version) Wow! These...

What has anyone tried that they liked better/worse than the continentals? I have 15K on my Contis and they are about done. Would love to have something that lasts longer but still grips well.

I'm curious what the max charge rate is in KW and MPH for a low SOC

I visit both sites every day, multiple times. They have good information (mostly). But some things bother me. #1 The climate pontification on some of the articles is annoying. #2 The clickbait articles rehashing forum posts or worse. Like the one up on Inside Evs tonight. It's a render of a...

I ran the numbers on my car (model 3 D) with 19s and white interior (no eap/autopilot) Price today is 51K. SO if the Model Y is 10% more, the same config in the Y will cost around 57K I think that is a killer price. We are going to replace my Wifes Sequoia with the Y. We paid 56K for the...

Just wondering is anyone has tried or is willing to try using an adapter on one of the 350kw chargers to see if Model 3 will indeed charge faster than 120kw? I think the one in Livermore is an Electrify America station and the one in Baker is EVGO

As far as I can tell there have been zero Tesla Model 3 fires, even after serious crashes. Has anyone heard of a fire in the Model 3? If not, this seems to me a fairly large improvement over S and X given that Tesla has already delivered close to 120K Model 3s.

I'm on my third day with the 30 day EAP trial. My background is that I really like to drive. I have owned a Bmw 3, Honda S2000, Mr2 Turbo, Mini Cooper S, Civis Si, etc. I did not elect to pay 5000 for EAP because most of my daily drives are on surface streets with traffic lights and I didn't...

I got my autopilot trial yesterday but it is missing Navigate on Autopilot and Autopark. There is no setting in the autopilot settings to enable these features. Did anyone else get this?

Tesla went through production hell, then delivery hell. The next phase has begun.....service hell. I picked up my car 10 days ago and noticed a small gash on the passenger door sill (kick plate?) Then a couple of small issues were found on day 2. Called to schedule service (mobile) for that...

This should be the headline we read often, instead of the stupid Tesla Killer slant we get. Audi has 10,000 reservations for the E-tron worldwide requiring only a 1K deposit? Only 3200 of those are US. The press should be pointing out how Tesla Model X required a $5k-$40K deposit and they had...

I have a buddy up there considering a Tesla. Curious about mobile service? For major service, Jacksonville? I know they are putting a Supercharger in Gainesville, but it has been under "permit" for months! Moderator's note: Posting edited to remove political remark.

New 2019 BMW 340ix does 0-60 in 4.2s My guess is Tesla releases an uncorking update early next year that drops AWD 0-60 to 4.1 secs (per Tesla). If they do that, they will also bring P down to 3.1 as listed by Tesla to maintain separation and P value, and also in prep for the next gen BMW M3...

Day 1 Line stander Ordered the day after white interior became available for AWD (July 24th) AWD, Black, White Interior, 19s Notified Sept 6 that my car could be delivered between 9-21 and 9-29 in Tampa Chose 9-21 I called the Tampa delivery center on Sept 14th. Was told the car was sitting at...

This is driving me nuts. Every review of the 3PD states the car has 450 hp. According to the EPA the AWD has 450hp and the P has 480hp. Does anyone know where this information is coming from? The AWD has a total of 333kw according again to EPA. Tesla does not list the numbers anywhere on...

Tesla Model 3 Outsold All BMW Passenger Cars In US

If Tesla offers current owners the option to stay in a private Tesla as Elon has said, Will there be a minimum size limit? I don't own any TSLA but I'm thinking of buying a few shares just to have the option to join the private company's investors. Then I would assume you could pick up more at...

I wonder if this is something Tesla would consider after the push for P sales the rest of this year. Us non P owners want to play too.

I'm hoping someone can tell me the height and width I would need for bulk PPF to wrap the front bumper. I'm thinking a 8 feet of a 30" roll should work but want to confirm before I order it. I'm going to wrap the bumper and hood myself. I already calculated I need 4 feet of a 60" roll to the...

The Naples, Fl store just got an AWD and I scheduled a test drive Sat morning. I will post back my impressions. I may even try and get an approximate 0-60. I had already signed up for a test drive on Tesla.com but apparently calling the location is a better bet.

In order to increase sales of the performance model, it seems Tesla is really underselling the AWD performance numbers. LR RWD car has 335 whp, weighs 3838 pounds, and does 0-60 in about 4.7 seconds. If the AWD induction motor adds 150 pounds and has at least 130 whp, we are looking at a 4...

This is going to be fun to watch the exploding heads over the next 3 months. Seeking alpha should be particularly entertaining.

This is what should be reported, not the FUD I have seen this week. Here is a chart I made based on March sales figures for the major players in the entry level luxury sales space. I didn't include Lexus or Alfa as their sales are rather low. If Tesla manages to sell 6000 units in April as...

Anyone know if Model 3 has 1 or 2 parallel production lines? Has anyone seen it in person? I know NDA prevents you from directly commenting but maybe someone else overheard a Tesla employee? Reason I ask is because the Bloomberg story out this week said that Doug Fields mentioned in an email...

Akilae over at Model 3 owners club found this code snipet on the Tesla site...

I haven't seen any announcements on this but the supercharger info site lists a new location in Pinellas Park, Fl 3101 Gandy Blvd. This is a large WaWa. Interesting development I think.

If so, please post the voltage reading when the pack is 100% full. This will tell us how much higher Tesla has been able to increase the per cell voltage from 4.2v We already know the 60kwH (software locked) pack charges each cell to 4.2v.

I am getting a little tired of columnists and commentators stating that Tesla is subsidized because of tax credits. Tax credits simply allow you to keep more of the money that YOU earned. No-one pays me $7500 that was taken from somewhere else. Positing that because I paid 7500 less to the IRS...

Randy Carlson (seeking alpha) is convinced this is the tech Tesla will be using for Model 3. His recent article points out several advantages to doing this, and the main one seems to be increased speed of battery balancing (initial) and drastically reduced cost. If you have not read his...

During the Code conference interview yesterday Elon said the second event would happen sometime later this year. My prediction earlier was that part 2 would take place later this year,and the configurator would open shortly after that for the early deposit holders. Looks like this is still on...

Reading though some of Elon's comments it appears the design team will have nailed down the final spec by the end of June. With this in mind, I'm thinking he does Part 2 of the reveal toward the end of THIS year and then opens up the configurator for the preorders. This way Tesla and it's...
