    LR RWD suspension refresh: MPP Comfort Coilovers vs Koni Red vs OEM

    I can only comment on my experience on a MINI Cooper which has a hard ride from the factory. The ride with FSD dampers was much more comfortable. No jarring, softer over all bumps and potholes. There are tons of user reviews and a few 'professional' magazine reviews online...

    LR RWD suspension refresh: MPP Comfort Coilovers vs Koni Red vs OEM

    When my car needs new shocks, I will 100% go with the frequency selective damping option. I had a 2009 Mini Cooper JCW that I autocrossed extensively. I switched from the factory S springs to JCW springs (a bit stiffer) and I added Koni FSD at the same time. I was very concerned about what I...

    Unplugged Performance Efficiency Spoiler in MD/VA?

    Does anyone have the UPP spoiler in Maryland or Virginia? I would really like to see it in person.

    Factory and UPP Spoilers side by side

    Has anyone taken pictures of the Unplugged Performance spoiler and the factory spoiler next to each other? I had the factory spoiler and they used some unremovable glue so I have residue on the footprint where the factory spoiler went. From the images, the UPP spoiler looks substantially wider...

    The legal limit in MD is 35% on the sides, Nothing on the front, and unlimited on the back. You could wait till you get to MD and get tinted there.

    Have any new testers with a safety score above 80 received the FSD Beta 10.69.2.2 update yet?

    I bought autopilot about a month after I got my car back in December 2018. I signed up for FSDb as soon as I was allowed to sign up - it feels like a year or more. My safety score is 86 I have 127 miles on autopilot My software version is 2022.20.9 <-- just updated from 20.8 yesterday When, oh...

    Dreaded front suspension creaking sound

    I only ever heard the squeaking when it was cold out. So far, no new squeak, but, it hasn't been really cold in a while either. Now I worry that it won't get cold enough to get the squeak until after the warrantee expires. I guess we'll see. I sort of planned to replace the FUCA with aftermarket...

    Dreaded front suspension creaking sound

    My car was delivered in november 2018. I have had it in for front suspension creaking two times before and both times, they serviced the upper control arms. I checked and saw that the most recent service is the one where they goop up the top of the ball joint :(. So I get the squeeking/creaking...

    Weird bushing found and noise

    @Occhis - Thanks for the reply. I swapped in winter wheels yesterday and took the opportunity to look around. My FUCAs have goop at the top, so, they probably just executed that half-fix (thanks Rockville Service Center). That explains the horrible, and typical, FUCA noise. I visually...

    Weird bushing found and noise

    2018 Model 3 Performance Plus I have had the front control arms replaced by the service center twice - not sure what generation they are. Car makes horrible squeak noise when it is cold out, but, it doesn't really make much noise when warm. Any ideas what this deterioriated bushing is from...

    Tail light cracks, no impact

    I noticed cracks on mine a month or so ago. Finally got around to sending in the service request via the app. I included pictures. The message they sent back was that it looked like impact damage (and essentially, could I prove otherwise). **Also, note, I didn't respond to their in app messages...

    So camping mode is useless.

    Unfortunately, this campground didn't have *any* electricity. For me, 20% battery = 60 miles of reported range. In the mountains, that is more like 35-40 miles (based on 4 trips experience - mountains just eat up battery life). I think the nearest charging station was probably 30 miles away. I...

    So camping mode is useless.

    I am just about ready to give up camping in my Model 3. Last weekend, I was camping in a location in the WV mountains with no cell and ~ 40+ min drive to the nearest supercharger. It said I had about 140 miles of range when I got there, but, the range never matches the displayed range and in the...

    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    I had my HW3 upgrade a couple weeks ago. It went exceptionally smoothly. No data was lost, not even my seat preferences! Took them just over 2 hours. Rockville, MD service center

    M3P - Who switched from a (true) sports car?

    When I bought the M3P+, I was cross shopping and driving several cars. I drove the Gulia, an M340i XDrive, a souped up S4 (with pully and tune). I beat the hell out of all of those cars during test drives. I have a NB miata with a highly tuned suspension on 245 tires as my play car (I run in STR...

    Could last night's Update have affected my regenerative braking?

    Per the original title, I feel like it really messed up my regeneration. I get much less regeneration now than 3 days ago. I find I am having to use my brakes a *lot* more than normal. Not pleased. The actual hold function where you come to a complete stop and engages the 'hold' is fine.
