What we know about this base model is that it is $3,000 cheaper than the significantly longer (17%) range dual motor Model Y (which was the previous base model), that it does have dual motors also, probably has an LFP battery pack based on the 4680 cell, has the premium sound system and slightly...

These literally have the mileage on them that was required to drive from the dealer to our home – just about 55 miles. Obviously cosmetically perfect, also balanced personally by myself (factory balance was out about 1/2 Ounce on average), with no excessive run-out in wheels or tires. Pretty...

I know this might sound kinda nuts on first pass (and I had my doubts about this initially being a good idea) but here's the basic pitch – and these considerations might help you to decide whether or not this is something you'd be interested in . . . . or not: 1) if you have two cars (or...

Now that we're getting into our fourth year of ownership on the cars we are getting some funky suspension noises. Most of these appear to be related to two issues where Tesla's part durability is suboptimal. Wondering how many people have had to replace either the front upper control arm...

https://floridapolitics.com/archives/494703-net-metering-bill-gets-compromise-amendment-heads-to-final-senate-panel/ I'm frankly puzzled that there isn't more about this pending Florida bill within Tesla Energy, or for that matter within the Tesla energy forms. It's nothing less than a total...

This is a poll on version 11 which is the most radical overhaul and reorganization of the screen and computer interface in years. It appears however to have garnered mixed if not polarized reviews. This poll is an attempt to capture people's overall assessment of this update. Please do feel free...

4 Performance model (2018-19) rims with TPMS. Asking $350/rim w/ TPMS. Virginal condition without any brake dust/road rash (taken off in first ~10 miles and ceramic coated and then stored) Pickup only in Boston/ Southern New Hampshire area. Will meet halfway.

Our relationship with Tesla energy has gone badly sour. After an initial high quality install witnessed by our contractor – who himself does solar and who stated that the team that installed the panels and powerwalls was "a real A-team" – we had a second smaller 8 kW system installed in our...

Will post pictures shortly. We are in Florida and we would strongly prefer local pick up $1,100 for the whole set or $400 for individual wheels. Only two TPMS. Cash or certified check.

Looking to get a broad-based sampling of people's general take on their Model 3 suspension. Please note that in addition to indicating your preference for suspension modification, please also indicate your assessment of the car's stock suspension and whether or not you have purchased aftermarket...

It's no secret that MPP Coilover kits are a big hit on this forum. And there are lots of reasons for that, but I know a lot of forum members often times wonder what kit is better for their uses and preferences. Hopefully this summary can give folks the information to make an informed choice...

Tesla Model 3 Performance Review – At 2 Years and Counting! Are We Two Years into a Revolution? It's hard to believe that it's been a full two years since we plunked down what seemed like just a staggering chunk of money for the first of our two Performance dual motor Model 3s in July of 2018...

Selling four of the 20 inch performance wheels, weight 28.7 pounds each, with mounted OEM Telsa-spec Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires 235/35-20. These wheels and tires were removed within the first week of ownership and have no road rash, nicks, tread loss, etc. Local pickup ONLY. Boston, NH...

We’ve just completed our second Tesla solar installation, a mid-sized 8 kW system on our SW Florida rental property, following on the heels of a larger 12 kW system that we installed in January on a brand new house (eventually our primary residence), while the just-installed 8 kW system was a...

This thread could constitute some critical data collection and service to the community. Please make just two choices – indicating your range of mileage and your degree of battery degradation and lost range. Please also if you can provide information on how much you supercharge and what you...

It's hard to believe that it's been a year since we first put down what seemed like a staggering chunk of money for the first of our two Model 3s in late July/early August of last year. The first one came pretty quickly a matter of weeks, and I was so blown away by the car and the overall...

This was actually our second trip in one of the cars, but the first time we really planned it out and thought it out carefully, with one objective being To avoid the New Jersey and Washington corridors by jogging slightly West of 95. The trip down in January for my wife in our midnight silver...

I can't remember all the many times the various forums have had both Tesla owners and BMW owners/visitors both arguing that the BMW M3 would 'easily' beat the Model 3 DMP around the track. We've seen suggestions on Fastest Laps (not a highly reliable source) and more meaningfully in Randy...

Perhaps I'm missing something but I can't find any information conveniently organized in terms of which version 2 superchargers have been upgraded to 145 kilowatts and where the version 3 chargers are coming in. Tesla states that all the new charging locations will be version 3 but I'm not able...

If you are like me and living in New England where the roads are salted 4 months out of the year if not more, you're a bit paranoid about rust. An ostensibly well rust proofed from the factory Lexus showed pretty extensive rust after 10 years in New England, adding to my paranoia in the context...

Racing Brake in California makes the only option to Mountain Pass performance aftermarket rotors. Price is a formidable $2185, for front and rear replacement rotors. Or you can just get the fronts for $1140. Pros: 1) Better heat dissipation from a curved 'convergent vane' design, but probably...

Needless to say there's a lot of attention these days to ceramic coating and film wrapping of new cars. Lots of impressive pictures and testimonials outlining the benefits of both of these technologies, but the cost is impressive too. While ceramic coating will not protect from stone impacts...

This thread is to help new users find out what other new users have learned, in some cases, the hard way, but also to help spread the word on some positive surprises. Negatives or positive don't have to be about the car's driving and operation only, and can also be about the dealer and any other...

This thread is for tweakophiles who own the Model 3 Dual Motor Performance Version (I'm in the new 12 step program for Technology Tweaking Addiction and was a founding member:p:p). This thread is for sharing information on upgrading, optimizing, tuning, auto crossing, and all things that...
