A friend of mine is scouting a used Model S Plaid so that got me looking around at various things (as I'm quite out of date on Plaid developments/upgrades since introduction). Anyway, that led me to this article...

Greetings. I don't frequent the forums much these days, but thought it might be worth sharing another track report. I think my last report was here: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/track-report-i-need-a-bigger-battery-cooling-and-brakes-were-fine.208841/ Looking at the specs at the...

Asking for a friend who needs HPWC installed.

While I was supercharging, I watched a full 10+ minute laps recording from Track Mode. Everything looked correct (no missing footage, no truncation, no gaps). When I got home, I disconnected the drive from the car and connected it to my laptop. The clip size is ~400MB. When I try to play it...

Haven't been able to get out much in the COVID era, but I managed to make it to The Ridge Motorsports Park (Shelton, WA) yesterday. Open lapping combined with a new-to-me supercharger location (Tumwater) was a big improvement. My 100% rated is 288 mi. Weather report was 55-60 F cloudy in the...

A friend and referee is looking for ideas and recommendations for Model 3 seat covers. Advice, ideas, suggestions, warnings, caveats? I don't know anything about seat covers generally, much less Model 3 seat covers. Thanks

"Because testing..." 2019.32.11 bac8c51 I'm sitting in the garage in my Model 3. The car has been in the garage for > 6 hours. The car is dry. It didn't rain today. I have my wipers set to Auto (blue unfilled oval). I tried the following after holding the T and being prompted: car wash...

TOCPNW.org (Tesla Owner's Club Pacific Northwest) is looking for Tesla owners in the Pacific Northwest that are interested in an introductory high speed track event at The Ridge Motorsports Park on September 21, 2019. No previous track experience is required. Registration covers track fees...

Has anybody put together a flow chart that captures the various Free Supercharging offerings. Ideally it should include the various twists in the history: - S, X, 3 (and perhaps Roadster :() - unlimited vs. limited time or amount credits - original owner vs. not - dates of...

I haven't really been keeping up with the configuration process totally because, well, I have my car. ;) Anyway... A friend of ours has a reservation from the first day line for Model 3, and is asking for advice because the Tesla folks she's talking to are (of course) steering her toward the...

Tesla Model 3 Performance Track Mode (Release Version): Ludicrous Handling - Motor Trend

We recently (08/18/2018) took delivery of a Model 3 Performance. One of my burning questions was how it would do at the track (with me as driver) without any modifications. I've driven at Oregon Raceway Park (ORP) a number of times (8?) in Model S P85, P85D, P85D, and P100D. All of them run...

I'm curious to hear what differences are known between the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tire variants. Tire Rack stocks 3 variants (so far?). In the comparison tool, the differences I see are the following: Clarifier: "N/A" vs. "N0(Porsche)" vs. "TO Tesla, Acoustic Tech" Price: increasing from...

I consider myself a seasoned Tesla owner. I'm in my 6th year of owning Model S. I've driven the Roadster, Model X, and Model 3 thanks to a number of friends. We went to take delivery of our Model 3 today. It was delayed so we have to reschedule for another time, but they did give a tiny...

It's commonly asserted that the Model S isn't a track car. Tesla's own positioning seems to be in line with that. That doesn't stop some of us from burning some tires, etc. at, um, "special purpose high speed locations with driver education events". With the Model 3, there are some discussions...

Despite comments by Elon to the contrary long ago around when the X was announced, Tesla has yet to deliver (with or without aftermarket assistance) a solution for those wanting to get an electric wheelchair or scooter in and out of the vehicle. We've been looking for a while now (years off and...

We're working with some engineers at Harmar (Harmar) to evaluate custom and/or future product offerings for using accessibility/disability mobility scooters with the Tesla Model 3. Request: Harmar is located in Sarasota, FL, and I'm hoping a Tesla Model 3 owner in the area might be able and...

There used to be an area on the profile that would show stats on your thread ratings (how many Helpful you've given vs. how many you've received). Is that still around? I've lost track of it. I wanted to make a related suggestion in another thread but couldn't find the page. Update: Never...

Did anybody get a view of the settings screens? I'm curious if the settings for traction control are like RWD Model S (disable) or more like AWD Model S ("slip start"). The former is useful for autocross, while the latter is not.

At TMC Connect 2014, LoriH arranged a bonfire gathering on the beach on Saturday night. It might be fun to do this again. Please PM LoriH if you're interested so we can do a quick gauge of interest.

BrianMan and LoriH are here early. Looking forward to meeting up with TMC folk. If you get in early as well, PM either of us but Lori checks her PMs more often. ;)

We've had many reports on the consistency of Tesla vehicles at the drag strip, but this is the first case I've seen of such consistency between two vehicles. Observe the slips above. Note the matching -- to the 3rd decimal place -- of the ET for the first-slip, right-lane P100D and the...

Has anybody found a good option for a 'tub' frunk liner for post-refresh dual-motor Model S? Imagine I want to fill the frunk half-full with ice for a frunkgating party. That's what I want. Not just a bottom-only, no-sides liner.

When posting, I prefer to post in the order that I compose (and read) -- namely top to bottom. As such, my usage pattern is: 1. Create thread/post 2. Type some words 3. Add image 4. Type some more words. 5. (Sometimes) Go to step 3. The current behavior of TMC is that after step 3 I have to...

I frequently use New Posts, but the top bar seems to be used across many views. Over the holidays, I tend to use my Surface Pro 2 for viewing TMC. I tend to put the Zoom factor at the IE default of 150%. When doing so, the New Posts page -- even when maximized -- is only like 2 entries...

With the forum update, New Posts is gone. So I tried out What's New and it doesn't fit the bill. What New Posts provided me 2 hours ago was the ability to easily see the newest posts and click the red dot to go to the unread. The red dot is not present in the What's New view. So basically...

I've seen this pop up a handful of times, and I originally thought it was just a glitch and/or people doing "creative editing" (accidentally or on purpose) of the tags in the markup. But I suspect this is a pretty clear example of the forum software acting up. Observe post #210 here...

If there are any owners expecting to take delivery of Model X with 5 seat option in 2016, I'd like to get a chance to see your vehicle in person if that can be arranged. I'd like to evaluate the rear cargo space for some items that I travel with often. 2016 is important to me b/c it might...

I haven't seen a lot of discussion about the "feel" of the drivetrain in the Model 3 from the Unveil. At the time, I didn't worry about it much it because we didn't really know was in play with the demo cars at the event. Now that Elon has explicitly stated (CC 5/4/2016) that production...

I was only half paying attention when the Model X 48/72A charger situation developed. Now that it's the "upgrade" for the Model S... What's the rationale for downgrading the max home and destination charging rate on the Model S and X?

(A bit rambly post but wanted to drop down my thoughts before I forgot to post.) For those not familiar, lapping is "at speed" / high speed track driving but cooperative -- coordinated passing -- with no racing or timing. On rainy days, the acceleration limiter isn't really much of a problem...

Elon Musk on Twitter My understanding is that Elon gave out sketches (see link above) to attendees of the Model 3 Unveiling. We did not win in the lottery, so we missed out on attending. If anyone is willing to part with the sketch, please contact me. I don't know what a fair price is (yet)...

I know we've used threads, wikis, spreadsheets, and other mechanisms to track reservations for S and X. Should we bribe Hank to create a page for Model 3? If so, perhaps we might want to help him design it before the end of March. Perhaps I should have a said "Reservation and Delivery"...

Admins, thanks for the laugh on the site down video. Is there a direct link for viewing when the site is working properly?

When new features are coming out, there's always a flurry of discussion about it right before it comes out. Then there's some beta leak stuff. Guesses before and after that. Then the firmware comes out and even more flurry of activity. Then it dies down. A year late people end up asking how...

I got no traction among detractors or supporters in Andy's thread, so I guess I'll start a new one. Polite request: Please focus on strategy and tactics, rather than dwelling on previous cases. Using previous examples as a case study is fine, but try not to rat-hole on the past. Thanks...

Elon Musk says Tesla will pay you $1,000 to get someone else to buy a Tesla - Business Insider

Whenever Elon, JB, etc. show up at an event (shareholder's meeting or otherwise) and have a Q&A session there's often angst before, during, after that "good questions" weren't asked. We tend to create new threads around the event to try to address the problem but I think it might be worth...

We've had some threads where folks have lamented TACC "not working". In my experience, it's working well -- and within design parameters. Case in point: Today I drove from Bellevue to Port Orchard with TACC set at 70mph with a following distance of "4". TACC was engaged the entire 63 mi...

Has anyone asked Tesla and been answered regarding how much it would cost to upgrade an S60 to an "S70" (upgrade the battery pack). I don't have a 60 kWh vehicle, but if I did I'd love to hear what the options are when/if I decide to replace the battery pack. Given that the 60 kWh vehicle is...
