Thanks for the link

Thanks. Garage floor probably is not perfectly level. Even so the numbers look odd.

Do you have a phone number for them?

Sure it can. In fact it is both.

This was in a pretty level garage. Please share your numbers for sport suspension setting and low ride height. Need to see if my values are way off or not. thanks!

Thanks!

My ride height details are as follows: Model S Plaid Sport suspension setting Low ride height setting. FL. -8mm FR. -12mm RL. -8mm RR. -4mm I would expect these to all be the same. Or, at least, both front should be the same and both rears should be the same. Right? Ride heights are...

Thanks!

Please let me know where I can find alignment specs for a model S plaid. Thanks.

Good news. Where is the port please.

Thanks. My driving gloves have suede palms. Probably won’t work, right? Sucks. Maybe could cut off the thumb.

This. And how about driving gloves?

Thanks for all the great info in this thread. For y’all who have made some track laps in the plaid, please share which track and how many laps could you make before the car pulled power due to battery overheating

Yes. Really want to see US track lap times for Plaid in stock trim. Also very anxious to hear about battery cooling performance. That is, how many laps will it complete before overheating pulls power?

Anybody….anybody…??

Mine is pretty consistently low.

My regen is noticeably lower of late. Can’t say exactly when I noticed it, though. I really wish they would give us a slider(like inTrack mode).so we could crank it way up.

Surely, by now, someone has taken the plaid to a road course. Please share with us: 1 what track? 2 how many laps before overheating (if ever)? 3 which track pads? 4 lap times if you are willing to share? Thanks.

I don’t even think it is good for the track. Note that Randy Probst used a round wheel in his pikes peak run in the S Plaid.

The problem is the testing at laguna seca was probably a plaid plus and the pikes peak car probably did have a modified cooling system. My M3P can make zero to sixty runs all day with no overheating but only 2 or 3 laps at Barber before drastically overheating and losing power. You THINK the...

Clearly they are very fast! Has anyone taken one on a road course? What course and how many laps did you get before overheating? I get very few in the M3P so am keenly interested in the cooling capabilities of the plaid.

If it had controls and airbag I would be all in.

That would be awesome! If UP or Randy are saying that on social media please point me to that. I don’t follow all social media and could very have missed it. But, all I see are folks inferring cooling results from the SOC results. They are different.

Or did anything, cooling wise, change? I haven’t seen an answer to the question “How many laps did the car make before overheating?”

Update please. Any progress on the cooling solutions?

Thank you for the tweets to Elon. Keep them up! I do not have Twitter. You are correct in “so much potential”!!!

My previous cars were Audi S4, 2012 BOSS 302 mustang and 2017 GT350 mustang. I tracked both mustangs. My best time in the M3P is slightly better than the BOSS but about 3 seconds slower than the GT 350. M3P destroys all those others at the drag strip. Best times — 1/8 = 7.29, 1/4 = 11.41...

Thanks! Fascinating! Is the “inverter temperature” actually that or is it something else, too? Fascinating — and disappointing on several levels. Why on earth would Tesla label that data “battery temperature”? And, with the plaid model S, I thought the lower internal resistance of the tabless...

@MasterC17 I read all your posts with great interest. Your observations and real world data are invaluable. My car loses power tremendously when “battery temperature” gets near 100% (from the track mode data log). Sometimes this happens after only a few laps and is, by far, the most serious...

For my M3P. 11.41 / 7.29 = 1.565

@MasterC17 I believe I saw on another thread that you no longer use your brake duct kit. Could you please elaborate?

MasterC17 - in your first post here you show a custom brake ducting system. That is not listed in your recent mod list. Are you not using it?

Brake, battery, and inverter temperature all appear to be in percent. Percent of what? Anyone know how to convert these percentages to actual temperatures?

Nice! How did you get SOC to display? And, did you use the raw video from Tesla track mode or did you need to reformat it? Race render does not seem to like my video. Thanks. also thanks to mash for the formula. I had to make a small change due to an odd glitch in my data. There were two rows...

An update to my quest for P3D+ rotors. Called parts department many times, and you are right, no return call. So, I selected the “sales” option and someone answered immediately. Very nice guy gave me the name and email for someone in service. He emailed me back saying he would forward my request...

I like your ducts, too. Here, though, is an interesting product from vorschlag for mustangs. Seems simpler than ducts and they say it is more effective. Might be worth trying something like this for the model 3. Vorshlag S550 Brake Cooling Deflector Kit

I love it.

Thanks for the price and part number. I am a long way from the nearest SC, but that might be my only choice.

@MasterC17 what is the cost of stock P3D+ rotors and how do I order them? I have left messages for the service center but they have not returned my calls. Thanks again for the comprehensive list of available parts.

MasterC17. Thanks for the great write up! Are you using stock P3D+ calipers? Per Mike Jr. at Carbotech, they don’t have pads for those yet.

Any chance you could dyno again after the 5% HP increase? Most anxious to see how/where they get the 5%. Thanks.
