Cool, well best of luck. Once it's repaired and back on the road, I guarantee it'll be the greatest car you've ever driven. I've put over 2,500 miles on mine in two weeks including two long distance road trips (with a night of car camping in Tahoe!) and a lot of high performance driving through...

I had a similar metal on metal sound coming from the front suspension when I took delivery of my M3P+ and it turned out to be a loose upper control arm. Service center took care of it within a few hours. Hope this helps!

Just received VIN! 72XXX M3P+ blue exterior, black interior, EAP Reserved March 2016 Ordered June 27th 2018 Delivery Sept 4 in Portland, Oregon

Thanks! Amazing responsiveness on here, continually amazed

Has anyone taken delivery of Model 3 Performance with the performance upgrades package and the black interior yet? So far all I've seen is either M3P's with PUP and white interior, or M3P without PUP and black interior...

Video of the 11.8 run has been posted:

50% increase in regen in track mode! "In Track Mode, the regenerative braking is increased significantly—up to 0.3g of deceleration, compared to a max of 0.2g in street trim."

New video just posted by M3P owner who used an Escort GT2 Performance Computer to generate some new performance figures. Unfortunately the video doesn't show the actual acceleration run, so until it is demonstrated on video (or at a drag strip), it's probably best to take it with a grain of...

Just scheduled a drive at Santana Row!

Yes! It appears so! On the Tesla Referral Program Website: "All Model 3 Performance orders placed before August 1, 2018 will be given unlimited Supercharging, no referral required."

Sounds like we're all in the same boat for the time being. Let's keep everyone updated if any of us hears about any M3P drives in the Bay Area!

There are many reports of Model 3 Performance test drives taking place in Southern California, but do any Bay Area showrooms have a Model 3 Performance test drive car yet? Seems like it would be easy for Tesla to just drive a few over to showrooms from the factory in Fremont...

Yes, I believe the rear has the same size rotors as the standard Model 3 (although a different rotor type), but check out those calipers, they're huge!

Very good point about needing higher performance rear brakes in order for this to truly be effective for track driving. Based on what I'm seeing in some of the early M3P drives, it appears as though the rear brakes are especially beefy when compared to the standard Model 3, I think it's a good...

Based on the newly posted Model 3 Performance review from Automobile (Quick Drive: Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD): "Go to the throttle smoothly on a fast corner exit and you’ll feel the lack of a true limited-slip differential as the inside rear tire lights up momentarily, before the new...

Just posted this morning, check it out! 2018 TESLA MODEL 3 DUAL MOTOR PERFORMANCE REVIEW: FIRST TASTE

Don't hold your breath. Tesla needs to provide incentive for buyers to choose the $5k upgrade - and it appears as though they have. If you truly want everything the performance package offers, just go for it, the overall experience will almost certainly be better than any mishmash of aftermarket...

Nice. Have a pic of the rear tires?

Just zoomed in on some of the new Model 3 Performance photos on the refreshed Model 3 page. Noticed that the front tires were sized 275/30/20 which I highlighted on the tire. If this is actually the case for production cars, these will be some super wide front tires.....

To each their own! A half hour tire change appointment twice a year is far less of a pain in the ass to me than spending $3500 on the 19" wheel/snow tire package.

So this is technically speculation until officially confirmed on the Tesla website, but I have a contact at Tesla (who has 6+ years at the company, very close to the Model 3 product team, etc.) who has confirmed to me that the larger performance brakes only come with the performance package. The...

I have also ordered a P3D with Performance Upgrades package and instead of purchasing an entirely new set of wheels and tires, I plan on buying these winter tires which fit perfectly on the 20" performance wheels: PILOT ALPIN PA4 N-SPEC - SIZE: 235/35R20 In addition to the car looking awesome...

I'd say it's pretty likely! Purely speculation, but I think Elon gave us a bit of a hint in one of this first tweets about the Model 3 Performance specs: "Cost is $78k. About same as BMW M3, but 15% quicker & with better handling. Will beat anything in its class on the track." The BMW M3's...

After Elon confirmed that the Model 3 Performance would include "Sport level brakes", now confirmed to only be available with Performance Upgrades package due to the massive size of the brakes only fitting in the included 20" wheels (or apparently an extremely tight squeeze if owners retrofit...

Agreed, but this has always been the case with Tesla doing a poor job properly communicating the details and specifications which enthusiasts care most about. Then again, they have a product that is so sought after, people will buy it regardless. Think about it, nowhere on the configurator does...

Happy to put this to rest as I have confirmed this info with Tesla directly. The much beefier performance brakes are only included with the performance package. I have also confirmed that the front rotors/calipers are so large that they cannot be fitted inside 18" wheels (it was mentioned that...

Really enjoying the content on TMC so I decided to join now that I have something to contribute! VIN 399 black with sport 19s and PUP spotted yesterday at the Design Studio in Hawthorne. Was zipping by on my Zero DSR and figured I'd take the chance to stop in just in case. The car is...
