Under perfect conditions the Model 3 is not limited by traction or power, ideal conditions do however mean hot enough for tires to have ideal performance and hot enough battery temps for max power output, as well as of course high enough SoC. If its very cold, you have less friction and also...

yes, but if you say you beat the other guys dragrace times - its really hard to compare those numbers as so many factors come into play that you cant really then know how much the wheels affected the result.

Having been doing dragraces with turbo Volvos, 3 Performance and Y Performance - I must say that you cant really just compare data you have - with others. Reason for this is that for max accelleration you need high enough temperature for tires to have grip, also high enough for battery to have...

In Norway the YP comes with Nokian R5, I kindof like this tire. Its an EV specific tire with high load. Its not as rubbery feel as Nokian R3 was. If I didnt have this, I would also look at Michelin or Goodyear or Continental. Most likely I would buy Continental if not Nokian R5

I did, after buying a 3P and an X. Size and agilty wise I prefer 3P. But it's a sedan and no hitch for the P. I would much prefer a sized down YP with performance from the 3P or even faster.

They should refresh the Model 3 with Y rear hatch and give hitch. Also bump power a bit :-) I want back in the 3 size (or even smaller), if they can make it more practical.

You can see it in the regen, as well as the picture of the car will show that lights are on. When the car is in hold, you see the (H). When in hold, you do not want to touch brake pedal by accident, so move foot away :-) The car will engage brake lights as long as you decrease in speed over a...

Put the car in Hold mode. When coming to a stop you can let the car regen by letting slightly off accellerator. When you come to the stopping point, if you need to use the brake you use it. Then when your car enters brake hold, move your foot away from both pedals. When light comes green, just...

I would pay 3000$ for sub 3 second upgrade for my YP. Feels much slower than the 2019 3P I had did :-P So I do hope they unlock some more juice.

I think the interior is the same, what will differ is the underbody of the car, as it will have the structural battery and I guess both front and rear casting.

At 60 mp/h you will be doing 60.2 mp/h. That is a very minimal change. If you move the 275 rear tires up front and fit 295 rear, it will be almost same as speedo was before. But the height/sidewall will increase a bit. Track width too. It will most likely take some few % of your energy...

I have seen multiple people running 295 in rear and 275 front. Also Ive seen people AUTO-X with aftermarket wheels with square 285/35-20, then they have had 10.5" wheels and ET40 (so means tire is further from knuckle). But I cant guarantee it will work with any aftermarket setup, as I havent...

The comfort suspension will be replaced if you change to coilovers, then the shocks and springs will be new. This means that it wont differ in regards to older cars. That beeing said I did run KW V3 on Model 3 Performance, it was lower and harder than stock 3P but it was less bouncy. The 2023...

We just have this small track in my city, it's really a gokart track that is used. The long end of this track we also use for dragracing (street legal, 0-201 meter). I have been dragracing and gokarting, but not auto-x. However I will consider to wait a bit with new wheels and replace rear...

Hello, thanks for your suggestions. I saw this one: 285's or 295's for MYP at front and back/square set up He put 285/35R20 in square setup with ET40 on 10 rims. I saw some other guy using 10.5" rims too, but if 285 fits 10 I guess that's fine too. But of course maybe it's better to downsize...

Hello, want to Autocross my Y Performance. So I think I need some new autocross wheels. Thinking maybe 20x10, ET40 with 285/35-20? Is it a good choice? With some "semi light" rim? Tires must be road tires, not semi slick or marked as racing only tires. Thread rating must be 250 or above if I...

Hello, wondering about ordering a YP now that berlin factory is ramping up. I am not 100% sure though, I am very happy with driving dynamics and accelleration of the 3P. But not so happy about: 3P cant have tow hitch and 3P has a sedan hatch... So I have the 2019 3P with FSD and its lowered on...

I would wait untill you know more about new battry+ new motor option, also when there is a clear cutoff for the Ryzen MCU.

So I am also interested in another comparison: how would wheel diameter affect the accelleration? People do compare the Y to the 3 and while Y is heavier, it also has a larger dia wheels. And I remember seeing a video on youtube where the owner put light 3 wheels on Y and got better...

Yes, coming from X and then 3P in march 2019.Its now at 55.000 Km, so I might change either when enough new stuff are in 3P or in "y 2.0". So I am kindof looking at Y P as an alternative, or a new 3P. If it will be a new 3P, they have to get the hitch on it too.. If not I think it might be "Y...

Title says it all: would it be possible to put Y knuckles on 3 for larger wheel diametres? Then of course it would sit higher, but could drop it further on coilovers to migitate the effect.

What diffuser is this? Looks perfect for my kind of "look" (minimalism, yet beefy)

Sorry, its 2 x 20mm rear, 2 x 17 mm front. Seems Im unable to edit the post. But anywas part numbers in this picture: PS: Do know that I have 3P, 3P has thinner rotor hats vs LR. Also do know that I got the g.zero with same ET front and rear, I know many 3P owners get different ET front and...

Thanks, its OEM G.Zero rims. I got them all with same ET (34), I know some 3P owners get different ET front vs Rear. I am using 2x20mm spacers in rear (H&R) and 2x19mm spacers in front (H&R). Tires are 235 PS4S. Got them as an refferal gift. I had some custom made jova wheels, but I kindof...

Here is my 3P, I've had it since March 2019. It's now done 46.000 Km. it has white interior, carbon mirrors, carbon blinkers, KW V3, xpel on front lights, ceramic coated at home. Interior piano finish is wrapped, also it has SSD compartment, wireless charging. Each trip is a super blast and it...

yes, 2 x 20mm front, 2.x 17mm rear

I got an alignment done at a third party shop who specialize in EV/Tesla and also had a car pulling hard right afterwards. At 80km/h it would pull maybe 1 metre right after a couple of seconds. It other than that was fine, when autopilot was engaged it was fine. They did triple check the...

Just get the white one, it will hide wash swirls etc easier :) Then if you want to sprite it up you can always wrap it in a custom color, like baby blue or nardo gray.

Very happy with KW V3 on mine

Just put some KW V3 on it

Not sure if it will fit, but it would not be a perfect match anyways since shocks and springs are tuned for higher weight of the awd drivetrain.

Yes, but it of course depends on for what usage. If just doing drag race straight ahead (1/8 mile), the OEM PS4 tires in 235 width have enough traction for the 3P. I have tried different tires/wheels and it seems the best way to increase accelleration is lighter wheels and same width. But of...

I hope they release a dragrace mode for the 3P, so it can be super sensitive on throttle. I guess you could earn maybe 0.05 seconds or maybe a bit more with an digital throttle (on/off). By this I mean that instead of having to floor it, you just barely touched it to go max watts.

If your old tires werent worn out uneven, excption beeing wrong tire pressure, I wouldnt bother. But if you have changed suspension components, I would do it. But it doesent matter if you do it on old vs new tires really, only thing is that if your alignment is way off, it can cost some life of...

Here is the printout. After I changed wheels in the menu, it tracks 100% straight, evne on very bad roads. If I let go of wheel it will drive straight. Before I set in the menu a new wheel, then it was tracking quite a lot to the right even on 100% new and flat roads. Colum far right is...

Often my 3P gets gravel behind brake shield, that will make a terrible sound and then it "throws it out" and some times make a ptrooooing sound.

Yes, my car is totally transformed with KW V3.

Having KW V3 on my own car, I guess it will be the same as MPP. As HP Autosport says above, its very hard to adjust this without dropping the suspension, as the preload makes it very hard to turn the adjustment. You need like "a lot" for adjustment to drop for instance 5mm, thats many rounds...

You could have gotten the 3P and if you felt it was too harsh you just could ahve sold OEM wheels and bought light 19" or even 18" with same tires. Then you would get better range, better performance, better braking and less noise. So I am on my 3P with KW V3 coilovers now, 1.5" drop, stock...

Then I don't understand. Why it pulled hard and stopped :-)

I cant drive that fast over them anyways, I have two back seat drivers riding along (GF + 3 year old).

Hi, might be a silly question. But here goes: I had KW V3 put on the car (did it my self). And the car was very good after that. Then I lowered it and it drive straight. So then I ordered an alignment at a shop that specializes in EVs. So they did several adjustments but found the car to pull...

Here in norway we cant run below a given speed, so 1/8 mile you get disqualified if going too fast. So in PRO you get disqualified running below 7.7, if we run below 7.6 we cant drive naymore that day. The 3P can easily do 7.4 and even slightly lower.

I am glad I went with the P, havent regretted it one time. Before the 3P, I had an X, which was about the same accelleration that the AWD LR 3 has, so it was of course quick but it wasent anywhere near the 3P quick. The 3P pulls you back to your seat and holds you there, so its more like a...

Have you guys tested out the usage of these for street? Is the mid setting like OEM or is it more agressive? I guess max setting of sways might give a too hard suspensionf or uneven roads?

That makes me a generically sad panda.

what I dont understand is if you look at Eibach swaybars on evtunings page: Eibach Model 3 Swaybars Click front and rear,then it seems it now has stop points for bushings?

Yes, I am not using the OEM wheels. I am using aftermarket 19" wheels with 4S tires. So this means I save about 4 Kg per corner of rotational mass, then i also get more comfort. With my KW V3 the car handles like a train also on 19", but the 19" gives then less road noise and it gives back some...
