    Model S Plaid - One Year Later

    any updates on this? i actually had both of these pop up this morning on my way to work... restarted and messed around a bit and they went away, but i'm sure they'll be back.

    PPF over ultrasonic sensors

    Any updates on this? If it cleared, how long did it take? I’m going on 10 days post install and it’s still erroring out… not a big deal around town, but won’t auto lane change on the freeway.

    Refreshed Model S Front License Plate Holder

    The bigger issue is drag… I heard it reduces 0-60 by .01 and decreases range by 10 miles depending on how you drive it ;)

    Performance of Refreshed MSLR vs. others

    Anyone with direct experience between a M3P and an S LR? I know the S has more balls when already rolling, but how’s the overall feel vs the M3p? I prioritize performance over comfort… Need to replace my M3P and debating between an S LR or another M3P. I think my ideal car would be a model 3...

    Does it make sense to get white interior if we have two kids in car seats?

    Dirt shows on white more than black… but it’s easily handled. If a quick wipe down every week or 2 is too much, get the black. The point is if someone prefers the look of white they shouldn’t be deterred out of a false fear of permanent stains and impossible maintenance when it’s simply not...

    Does it make sense to get white interior if we have two kids in car seats?

    Had white seats from the time my daughter was a newborn till the car was totaled at 3.5 years… the seats are highly durable and easy to maintain. Dirt and stains show more than on black, but the cleanup is easy… so you may end up wiping them down or sweeping them off more often, but I haven’t...

    Front end damage… totaled?

    Is the S LR acceleration discernibly faster by seat of pants metrics?

    Front end damage… totaled?

    I could use the space, and the S should have power benefits especially at speed… but not sure if it’s worth the extra cash. It would be nice not having a clone at every light though… seems like 3’s and Y’s are taking over the world.

    Front end damage… totaled?

    I may be biased, but F*ck Statefarm.

    Front end damage… totaled?

    yes... debating on another Performance 3 or S LR... would love the Plaid, but that's the price of 2 M3P's and can't justify it after these last couple rounds of price increases. As much as i loved my M3P, I wish a new one had more performance since it's essentially the same car as my old one.

    Front end damage… totaled?

    AAA (the at fault insurance) has been covering the rental... i thought going though my insurance was the way to go since I wasn't at fault and I'd need someone on my side... clearly not the case. Not sure it would have been any better going directly to AAA, but it certainly couldn't have been...

    Front end damage… totaled?

    After nearly 5 months, the car has finally been totaled! StateFarm did EVERYTHING in it's power to NOT total the car, but in the end, they ended up spending a lot more money trying to fix the car before totaling out. Ridiculous experience every step of the way, but at least they came around to...

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    FWIW, the preview image on the Tesla order page still shows the P lower than the other variants.

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    Hairpin motor should be more efficient... i'm hoping it will output more power. make it faster than the 3 then maybe.
  15. chickensworth

    Going from 2019 M3P stealth to 2022 LR with boost thoughts.

    I want more power, not less! The other incremental improvements are nice, but the acceleration is why I purchased my P. As I'm looking for another car to replace my 2018, I'm not sure I'd be happy getting into another M3P much less a slower variant of the Model 3. But, you know you... slower...

    Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

    still no word of the hairpin wound motors on the M3P.

    Torque and Horsepower upgrade kits on M3P?

    I had the first M3P delivered in my city... I'm most likely in the market for a new one after an accident I had a few months back. A 2022 is more or less the same car i got in 2018. As much as I loved my 2018, I have a hard time picking up a new one with basically the same performance as my...

    Totaled or repairable ? 3 years 26k miles Long range FSD. Need your opinion

    I’m dealing with something similar - https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/front-end-damage…-totaled.247606/#post-6218206 so far, my car has not been declared totaled… but I’m hoping after all the back and forth with the insurance company it will be. Its really up to the insurance company...

    Front end damage… totaled?

    It’s a Tesla Collision Center… their initial photo estimate was much higher than statefarm, but still lower than the 65% total threshold … hopefully with a tear down, they get it over the threshold. It’s a Tesla shop, not ‘Jimmy’s Autobody,’ so hopefully there’s less incentive to play games...

    Front end damage… totaled?

    Statefarm says that due to Nevada Law, a total loss only occurs after repairs MINUS paint and electronics is greater than 65% of the value and they can’t use other formulas to determine total loss… don’t know if that’s BS or not. I’m having it torn down by Tesla Las Vegas, so we’ll see how it...

    Front end damage… totaled?

    update- after ignoring my calls for a month, my Insurance will not total the car based on the photo estimates. looks like they will order a teardown. Hopefully they find enough damage to total the car once torn down. this is going to be a long process.

    thanks ... definitely lots to be thankful for this holiday. that's what I'm afraid of... prefer just to start with a clean slate. i'll find out hopefully sooner than later and keep this thread updated. great reminder... pawn the center caps at EZ Pawn next door for for some spending money at...

    Front end damage… totaled?

    I T-boned a pickup that decided to pull out in front of me never looking left to see if traffic was coming… cops determined it was his fault, and I have the sentry video to prove it. Worst thing is the PPF wrap didn’t do a thing 😜 Can anyone With experience determine if this level of damage...

    are they the standard 235 square setup? Don't flame me... i kinda like them.

    Get used to acceleration?

    Definitely gotten used to the acceleration... i remember leaving the showroom with a full charge, and WOW! Now, after 2 OTA power bumps, it's just sort of like ... wow. Even though it's faster than it used to be, it can always be faster still.

    Anyone else going to trade their Model 3 for Cybertruck?

    Hate pickups... never wanted to be near one... BUT... i'm low key obsessing over this one. Love the retro future looks... straight out of a popular mechanics rag from 74... like nothing else on the road.

    Help me decide Stealth vs P3D+

    The stance is noticeable enough that people ask why my car is so much lower than my co-workers car when they are parked next to or near each other... again, the larger wheels and slightly lower suspension fill out the well much nicer IMO. Of course it's subjective and there are surely other...

    Help me decide Stealth vs P3D+

    All arguments for and against are valid... personally I like the +. Efficiency is probably the biggest real world factor. it isn't an issue for me personally, since i don't do much long distance highway driving, When i do, an extra few minutes of charge isn't that big a deal. The P+...

    Potential 0-60mph Model 3P+ vs. Model P85D

    Potential 0-60mph Model 3P+ vs. Model P85D

    59 degrees - 90 percent SOC - AC off. it was the best of a series done after topping off at around 96 SOC at a supercharger. maybe warmer weather would have given me better results? also curious if 100 percent charge does better? i know it's 'common knowledge' around here that it would, but...

    Model 3 Performance 0-60 time of 2.998 achieved by DragTimes with V2019.36.2.1 (1 ft rollout)

    i have not personally been able to achieve 2.9 seconds in my car with the new update... but i'm sure as hell saying it COULD hit 2.9 seconds if it comes up in conversation :D

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

    P3D+ tested post update with the Dragy- about a .07 second improvement to 60. Feels much better than the numbers show during normal spirited driving, especially from a roll... off the line it's still a bit underwhelming. Needs a launch mode or something.

    Traffic light recognized.

    I've seen the red light warnings on previous software updates... but my car hasn't done anything except flash red and tell me to take over. It's never interfered with driving, applied the brake or slowed down regardless of what the display or light suggested. FWIW, This feature has not been...

    Taycan Takedown

    The Taycan seems pretty awesome in ways that make it a Porsche... but its just late to the party. Taycan v Roadster 2? i have a suspicion on which one will be the envy of the other, but we'll have to wait till there's a production model out.
