Boston area hit me up

The B and O system in my Audi was amazing. The model 3 is ok, but if you look at the frequency response there's all kinds of peaks and valleys you can't EQ out. which I find contributes to listening fatigue and an underwhelming soundstage.

then damn son

yeah I hear you, but it does 0-60 in over 3 seconds, so one of those numbers is off.

So that means either the Taycan traps higher than 124mph or does a 1/4 mile in under ten seconds. I just don't think those are the numbers.

yeah, $40. Although the red is amazing, the paint is the most disappointing part of the car, they really need to fix it.

I just put mine on, went for the painted gloss black ones on Amazon. Real simple install, although the rears are more solid than the front. There's too much flex in that wheel liner but they sit flush at least. One thing for sure, if you like your paint you will buy these. I have a little over...

Yeah, something is wrong then. That would mean it does a 1/4 mile in under ten seconds or it has more power at the top end than the bottom end, either way the numbers don't make sense.

This is a good parable, after meeting you and your wife at a Vermont supercharger quite randomly, you two were super nice. Slowly, like that movie Memento, I realized you were familiar to me, but couldn't place it. Little did I know that you were my nemesis online! It goes to show that a little...

I always post to clear this up, but 3dB is a doubling of power, which is a 10log scale. All of the measurements people use in these tests are SPL measurements, which use a 20log scale. So 6dB is an actual doubling of sound pressure, as in, when you double the pressure of sound waves to your ear...

I wonder if an iron wrapped in a cloth might help reactivate the adhesive. I have a single bubble but worry this will get worse

Why couldn't you just watch the video?

Yeah, still haven't received my spoiler. Still have paint issues. Still have water getting into my cabin from a car wash. Still get pushback or no comms from service. Every time someone posts a totally reasonable concern a thousand stans come on here victim blaming. Maybe empathize that these...

You may still be confused. SPL is 20log, not 10. A common mistake people make is to use the power ratio and equivocate it with sound pressure. When you double the power you increase 3dB, but that's not a "doubling" of sound pressure. Because SPL uses a 20log scale. When you cut the distance to...

SPL uses 20log scale, so 6dB is a doubling of sound pressure. 1dB is the difference from being 12 feet away from a sound source to being 11 feet away from a sound source. You can hear a 1dB change with a 1k sine wave relatively easily, but with full spectrum sound 1dB is very hard to discern.

I rented a LR for work and coming from the P I thought wow this is still real fast. So I'd imagine the dual motor would give you more than enough thrills. But if you want to be the fastest you gotta go with the P.

That acceleration curve looks very promising, looks like the launch hits quicker.

they're pretty much all like that, some people are luckier than others

The most effective escalation method is just giving up. I have a four inch scratch on my windshield I didn't notice until after it was at the body shop for three weeks (where they did nothing) so it's not like I can prove it was there all along. Just give up.

One think I have noticed is the autopilot hands on wheel alerts are more frequent

I think it's a decoding problem. To me it just sounds like low bitrate audio

I bet they made a different wheel simply because seven is a lucky number

looks like a lot of toe and not enough camber

the ride quality is great, something I can't say about the build quality

minus the vents, this is how the P3 should have looked

confirmed Dec 3, just got the check!

I can't believe it actually showed up, this takes a little sting out of the whole ordeal

I don't think you're a jerk. I think everyone who picked up in the month of September were used by Tesla in a push for profitability. While this does help support the mission, it doesn't diminish the tactics they employed to accomplish this, which was push out "B-stock" cars to buyers who have...

Tesla "certified" body shop, I waited three weeks for that.

they just slapped it on there like salt on a wound

Bro, paint ain't gonna look good. If you're lucky they'll put your hood emblem on straight, unlike mine:

Putting track mode on a car with eco tires and 320mm rotors is not a good idea. Elon really started this whole mess when he conceded to the demands for a lower price P model and simply software unlocked the AWD and sold it as a P. If you were craving performance, you should have bought the...

Why are you lying? The only wheels that get curb damage are the 20s. 18 and 19 are impervious to any damage;)

My concern is the springs are less stiff in the rear, which would explain the slight oscillation I feel when cornering.

I have the same setup as you. Rear springs listed but wrong height but front springs listed and lower height. The people with lower rear springs part numbers aren't listed. I bet the P+ springs aren't listed and we have half of them or they made a change at some point.

Good thing you're not a mechanical engineer then. The brakes and track mode work as a whole system, it might "technically" work with different hardware, but that's not how it was engineered. It has nothing to do with being brittle. Changing one variable in a system can have unintended consequences.

Wow, how did they mess this up?

I painted mine metallic black, if only it wasn't in the body shop the last two weeks:(

fake

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

When I was checking out my car I noticed the plastic under-cover that attaches to the bumper has a lip around the entire thing. If water gets in there, it acts like a kiddie pool. There's nowhere for the water to go. I think I might drill a couple of holes on the bottom of it.

I just realized how crazy this move was, because I've seen thread after thread dissing the boat anchor wheels, saying you don't need the brakes, calling it a vanity upgrade, saying they'd rather have the efficiency, mod with aftermarket, etc. Those people have no way to get their car now and...

Don't look at me like that, "official announcements" from Twitter are art of the problem. This thread was started before Elon started just saying stuff on Twitter and it will continue for who knows how long because this is the problem.

This right here is the number one problem with Tesla, the problem that gets them into trouble every time. The reason one person can have a "flawless" experience and the next person can have a "nightmare". I don't know what can be done about that, car dealerships vary like this as well. But Tesla...

Chevy shows off a 800V Electric ‘eCOPO’ Camaro conversion running a 9 sec quarter mile Its just beginning

Theres not really a case in the way they advertised, I think the real case would be how they used b stock parts and sold them as new at the end of september to get their numbers up. Of course, this would be impossible to prove without direct evidence, but I am certain this is what took place...

Oh snap I read through the whole thread thinking he just posted it today, that dude got clowned

I hear you, but I'll just make a counterpoint. I made a deposit a year and a half ago knowing it could be years before I got my car. It wasn't even on my radar when I got the email to configure. But everyone got the same email and then there was no deposit needed. I could've waited even longer...

Gen 1 got all the good stuff, alcantara headliner, tight suspension, orange back roof, firmer seats. My springs say P on them too, but they are definitely different part number than the catalog, and what others have reported.

Don't be a fun sponge
