    Model 3 Road Noise

    Another possible material to use is rockwool insulation. It is mineral based insulation that they use both for sound control in interior walls (specific product) and R-value insulation for walls and attics (also specific product). Can't find it for a reasonable price on Amazon but Lowes sells it...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    My only concern is the warning label associated with the product. under the product description in the listing on Amazon. DANGER All ceramic fiber products have a hazard communication warning label and prop 65 warning for airborne fiber inhalation. Please consult the Safety Data Sheet for...

    Model 3 sub-frame supports

    I would not touch the front subframe at it is designed to fold upon itself in a heavy front end crash. The subframe will basically fold over. I have seen crash test video footage doing just that. The ultra racing front subframe bar seems like it would restrict that movement. watch around...

    Vendor Teslogic — Mobile Instrument Cluster for Tesla Model 3/Y

    Can you look at the performance mode. It is not showing performance data such as 0-60 mph or 1/4 mile times.

    Model 3 Road Noise

    👍👍 Just be careful with the clips - that was my issue when I removed the panel. My car only had 2 bolts on each end and no middle bolts. There were no holes for those in the battery tray…

    Sound insulation - is it worth it to reduce road noise and suggestions on what and how

    You might want to check out this latest thread on the subject. There have been a lot of threads discussing the pursuit of a quieter car since 2018... https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/model-3-road-noise.275331/

    Model 3 Road Noise

    I concentrated on the front section and behind the seats. Using the same stuff - not a huge improvement as you mentioned also, but noticeable. I also did the interior of the rear wheel wells. Removed the subwoofer to get behind there - used dynamat material + foam and also stuff thinsulate...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    I took off the lower plastic rocker panels. The ones that are in between the road and attached to the body. There are two main screws - one at the front and one at back (you need to lift up the plastic tabs to access those screws). There are more tabs but there are no screws in those areas - at...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    Sounds like a fun project. On the rocker panels, just be careful when you pull them off - as I mentioned above. But I am very happy with the results it made on my car. I think the reasoning behind not putting any sound insulation under the carpet is the fact that the battery - being so...

    Model 3 Road Noise

    After basically tearing my car apart (2019 M3), in search of more silence... I wanted to share what I did just recently. I have already partially put a layer of dynamat and a layer of 4 mm foam (on top of the dynamat) in the area between the driver and passenger seats and the fire wall...

    Vendor Teslogic — Mobile Instrument Cluster for Tesla Model 3/Y

    Performance mode not working right. Has anyone experienced a problem with the performance mode? I have the newest update on my iphone 13 pro. The speed is way off and sometimes shows 20 mph slower. It does not record any acceleration times. This is a recent problem as it was working...

    Anyone tried this front lower control arm brace?

    More to my point about crash testing you can check out this crash test video. Go to 40 sec. mark to see how the front subframe compresses and folds over in front crash. I would think additional braces like the Ultra Racing braces would hinder the way the subframe is supposed to collapse...

    Anyone tried this front lower control arm brace?

    Looks very interesting. I like how it ties the rear lower control arm mounting points together. Not sure how effective it would be given that there is still a large section of the front subframe that is open and not tied together. I have seen other ones from Ultra Racing for the front...

    Autocross- SCCA EV-X Class vs. SS

    Hi there - I am thinking about installing the MPP front lower control arm solid bushings. Have you experienced more NVH or is it about the same. I guess it might be difficult to answer since you also installed the rear shims on the rear control arms as well. I understand that in terms of...

    Vendor BC Forged - Fully Forged Lightweight Wheels / Bespoke P&P / Quick Build TImes / MANY Designs - Authorized Dealer

    Really happy with the rims - still waiting for PS4S (245/40/19) to mount them on the car - really hard to get and have been back ordered for months at a time... Danny was great to work with and the whole order to delivery process was fast and efficient. Will post pics once mounted.

    Gap between top of front suspension knuckle and top of tire not consistent on both sides

    Thanks guys. I was thinking the caster angle difference between the two sides was too great as well - even though they are both in the green based upon the alignment printout. I will also look at what Dallas J suggested as well regarding the upper control arm ball joint.

    Gap between top of front suspension knuckle and top of tire not consistent on both sides

    Can any one explain to me why the space between the top of my front tires to the top of the knuckle arm (where it meets the top wishbone) is not consistent on both sides? On the front right passenger side, I can pretty much stick my fingers between the top of the tire and the knuckle, yet on...

    Nose Job; Tesla S/X Front Fasica look on Tesla 3

    I like the idea of fixing what I think is the worst part of the car. I don't want to offend anyone on the board, but I just can't get past it, Tesla has already established a "brand" look with the front facia with the S and X, why did they not carry this onto the Model 3? I see so many on the...

    Performance Upgrade Price Change!

    This is the response I received from Tesla this morning. My 9/29 delivery on a AWD with a 10K software upgrade without the upgraded performance package. Thank you for contacting Tesla Support. Tesla typically adjusts pricing as we find more efficiencies in manufacturing. In an effort to be...

    Performance Upgrade Price Change!

    I am in total agreement with you. I am in the exact same boat - car delivered on 9/29 - now at the service center in queue for a major paint respray - estimated completion - ONE MONTH! I opted out of buying the performance package as I did not like the 20" especially on a white car and would...

    Performance Upgrade package now for free!!!

    At the time I placed my order, I could not justify spending the additional 5K on a package that did not have the rims that were visually appealing to me (especially on a white car) - why pay for something that I was probably going to change... I also felt that the base performance should have...

    I ordered a Performance 3. The car at delivery was an AWD.

    I just got mine delivered today. Configured M3PD- My spec sheets shows Model 3 Long Range AWD with the Performance Dual Motor AWD $29,000 option. Tesla screen button show only Long Range Dual Motor (so does my iPhone App). Car does not feel as fast as the Demo car we tried. Went to the...
