    Why are carbon ceramic brake so expensive? Here's why

    found this video and thought I'd share. It's gives you a good understanding why carbon ceramic brake rotors are more expensive. I work in aerospace manufacturing with composite engine component and other exterior panels for joint strike fighter aircraft. So seeing this process is familiar as...

    Anyone want to help modify a Radio Flyer Model S?

    He has only just started driving (a few weeks now, maybe 5-7 time) because he wasn't able to reach the pedal and wheel. He rode with his sister driving them around for a few months before I got him one. I just have to walk beside him so he doesn't drive into a parked car or curbs but when we...

    Blog Report: Tesla Employees Pressured to Take Shortcuts to Meet Production Goals

    I can't speak for anyone else but my car (P3D vin#4138xx is basically perfect. I have worked on many vehicles and I did look over the car and continue to as I add parts or clean it. The only thing I really noticed is that one of the bolts that mount the drivers door, the bolt head was slightly...

    Anyone want to help modify a Radio Flyer Model S?

    I modded my son's (he's almost 2) model S so he could reach the wheel and pedal. Now he can drive it. Have a spare flat play of Carbon fiber from a test panel and cut it to fill in the open space behind the seat.

    Tesla To Charge $1k For Black Paint

    I bet it's because white is so popular they want to reduce cost and increase productivity. So moving to a standard white solves the issue of having to paint so many multi-coat white cars and making it the base let's them reduce it from multi-coat to single stage paint job. Makes sense. It's why...

    My Model 3 Perf with 19" Forged Wheels

    What are you replacing them with? Back to stock or new wheel set up?
  18. M3totms

    Tired of ruining 20" wheels...

    Home page has 18" and 19" wheels that are build for the mustangs that will fit over performance brakes, are forged and very strong. I have ran them on my tracked bmw. Or Tsportline and a few other places have 18"and 19".

    Front motor temporarily disabled?

    Interesting, do you remember what your WH/mi was while only using the rear motor? I've been wondering if a LR DM could have a "extended range" mode that turned off the front motor at speeds. I know the car weight is more but wonder if you get better efficiency while in 2wd...

    Model 3 paint wearing off

    Kilotango74 is correct. California regulations on chemicals are very extreme. What you are permitted to use and even how much of what you use at a time. This doesn't mean the paint jobs are terrible, but the best chemicals for hardness are usually the worst for you haha. I work in aerospace...

    Trade In Question

    This! Or, go to KBB.com and request a trade in quote. It takes just a few mins and they tell you the offer and send that info to local dealer who is willing to buy your car. I did this to see what my 5 series would trade for and I got the quote, and a local bmw Dealer called me that day to buy it.

    How long do you have to pick up an inventory car after $2500 deposit kp

    this might sound like dumb question but, how long do you have to pick up a inventory car you place a $2500 on? The reason I am asking is because i am in the process of selling a car and will need a few weeks before I can take delivery. I am only asking for anyones experience with an inventory...

    Model 3 seats are horrible compromise decision

    OP. Have you thought about trying to retro fit the MD seats you like into your M3? This would be pretty cool. I know many of my friends who have put new year BMW m3 seats into older years because they like the new look and feel ect.

    Tesla "T" carbon fiber badge project

    Yes, once I make the front badge then I'll start on the rear curved one. I'll be able to create the same arc. Correct, the badge is two piece. The "T" and the above "shield" I am still in process of getting the good badge into solid works. Then I'll probably print a 3d one to make sure the...

    Pictures of production Model 3s

    I agree, especially when driving it. You see the nose slope out of sight and see the fenders roll of the corners. Looks very much like a 911 looking out

    Pictures of production Model 3s

    Just stopped by the Stanford shopping center in Palo Alto to see the model 3 they have. Gray silver color. Also went by the Tesla dealer near there, no model 3 in showroom but a white 3 was in parking lot. Yesterday I drove by Tesla HQ and there was a ton of model 3s. I'd guess about 20 just...

    I keep wavering back and forth between a Model S and Model 3

    This is my perspective also. The 3 is a very nice car. But the AP2 hardware is really it's only win over the S in my option. A 4 year old S is still a $100k car vs a $60k 3. The great thing is you will love either car. Now the choice is to you wait for the experience or start it now.

    Could this app make Teslas more fun & reduce motion sickness?

    I am surprised to hear Tesla doesn't have that. My volt has a push button on the end of the blinker stock that is a ped horn. Sounds off two midtone "bump bump" horn. I actually use it often when backing out of parking spots. The other day intact I was about to back out, visually looked around...

    Newbie from Murrieta, CA. Hello all!

    Congrats on your order man! That's awesome. What S and options did you go with? Also what home charger are you going to use? I already have a 240V outlet but still just charge my volt with standard outlet 15A. Since its just 10kwh. Trying to get some insight on home charging units.
