    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    So I had my M3P at the track this weekend and tried running without regen to see how it impacted battery temps. Well, the battery seemed fine, but in a few laps I got a warning that the brakes were too hot. I'm running the MPP BBK in the front and upgraded rotors in the rear with track pads all...

    Seat Back Strength - Racing Harness Ready?

    I looked at it after realizing the QuickFit Pro wouldn't be allowed at some events, but haven't gone any further than reading on their website. I'm concerned about the seat collapsing as well and feel like I'm trading safety with being held in place. Ultimately the right long term investment is...

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    Agree with you. I hope and assume everyone is well intended and it is #1. In which case, great, let's get the safety side sorted out and other tracks can adopt the best practices.

    Coronado Destination Charger

    That's super strange. I used plugshare as well and when I zoom in on that location using the map, I see nothing (screenshot below), thus I wondered if it was gone.

    Coronado Destination Charger

    There used to be a destination charger at the Coronado Island Marriot. The Tesla maps no longer show it, but the hotel claims it exist. Can anyone confirm either way? Thx

    Cooling the Performance Model 3 On Track – An Overview of Our Modified Heat Exchangers

    Interesting, I run full regen, left foot brake and haven't noticed any lift off oversteer or nervousness. The regen was difficult to get used to as I had trouble judging the deceleration rate going into a corner and would end up using the throttle before the apex. I'm running at 50:50 and still...

    Which tire is faster - frivolous debate

    Wasn't clear about this in the original post, but this is on an M3P on a track, but it seems to be converging on the 3R.

    Which tire is faster - frivolous debate

    Was thinking about this while shopping for track tires based on the availability I saw. Which would be faster, a 275 supercar 3 or a 265 supercar 3r?

    Strange sound from wheel/suspension

    To follow up on this. I retightened all of the major suspension bolts, including the shock nuts and while nothing appeared to be loose, the sound has gone away. Maybe, to one of the responses, something was just slightly loose.

    Strange sound from wheel/suspension

    At a recent track day I started hearing the sound below from the front suspension. I noticed it under braking and turning and was able to reproduce it occasionally going over speedbumps, as the video below shows. It sounds like a twang, like something you would hear from a spring, but who knows...

    Concerns with this tire?

    I think you're right. The intent would be to use this on the track so it probably isn't worth the risk.

    Was working through some fender rubbing issues and saw some damage to one tire. It is on the outside of the tread, not on the sidewall. Would you be concerned about this?

    Martian MW05 Race Wheels

    Was just checking out the Martian 19x10.5 forged race wheels. They claim you can run a 305 without any fender modifications. That seems quite a bit wider than other recommendations I've seen. Can anyone confirm if this setup works?

    Regen at the track

    Curious, how much regen do you use at the track and why? I'm finding its hard to judge how much the car will slow going into a corner with regen and I'd rather just trail brake using the actual brake. Probably something I just need to get used to.. what are others finding?

    Tesla Model 3 DM Performance - Autocross/Time Trial Build for USCA (Optima)

    I am trying to figure out the harness install on a 2022 M3P. Here is a pic looking at the front of the driver's seat, toward the door side. I don't see bolt to pop the side off. Did I miss it? Also, I noticed this bolt at the back of the seat.. thought this could be mounting option:

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    Wanted to circle back and thank everyone for the help. I'm leaning Thanks everyone for the help. I’m leaning toward just doing it right the first time. Changing camber for a track day doesn’t look like a big deal. I’ll probably go with 275’s for now.

    Hi all, I'm looking at upgrading my M3P for regular track duty with a full set of parts from either UP or MPP (still sorting through some of the details). What would you recommend for wheel/tire size? I'd like to be able to swap the track wheels and the stock 20" uber turbines without having to...

    Seat Back Strength - Racing Harness Ready?

    Jumping into an old thread as I'm looking to harness solutions for an M3P. Curious about two things, did the OP end up going with a quickfit pro? Also, how well does the quickfit hold you in place compared to the normal belt?

    Supercharger - Quartzsite, AZ

    Yeah, I just missed a major line there on the 29th.. first car in line and then it grew to like 10 very quickly. 1 stall was down and another was so slow it was useless, taking capacity to 6. From looking at the map, congestion seemed bad today (new years day), think it will ease up later in...

    Supercharger - Flagstaff, AZ

    Kingman to Flagstaff would not be for the faint of heart in a classic MS60.. but according to ev trip planner, an MS75 would only use 152 RM on that run, leaving almost 100 miles left. I would think the newer MS60s with 210 range or the M3 would be ok on this run.

    North Scottsdale to Flagstaff in an S85

    Thanks to yesterday's price reductions, I upgraded my 60 to a 75 and ended up pulling up this old thread. Interesting thing I noticed while playing with evtripplanner. It says an S85 will take 200RM from Scottsdale to Flagstaff, which is what was confirmed earlier on this thread. It says the...

    Kingman to Flagstaff?

    I looked into doing the Kingman -> Flagstaff run in a 60 and it would have been scary tight, even controlling for speed, so I never did it.. based on what everyone else said and evtrip planner I think you'll be fine in a 90. It looks like there are some destination chargers along 40 as well...

    90->100 cheaper than 60-75?

    Agree.. but I would really like to upgrade my 60 for $4500. :)

    90->100 cheaper than 60-75?

    Noticed the 100D came out today. The price difference between the 90 and 100 is $3000, or $300/kwh. The price to upgrade a 60-75 is $7000, or $466/kwh. Seems odd.. am I thinking about this wrong?

    Range anxiety in the desert

    Interesting.. my nav systems says my new 60 can make it from Scottsdale to Quartzite without charging in Buckeye. I was suspicious of this since there was no way I could pull that off in the old 60.. I probably won't risk it given your experience.

    Autopark - Doesn't see many spots

    Confused on Tinting in AZ

    The one thing I'm not sure about is the front wrap. My first MS got some pretty bad rock damage thanks to the 101 construction, but I don't think I lost as much value on the car as the wrap would cost. I realize I'm not taking asthetics into account, but I'm not sure the ROI is there. The...

    60 To 75 upgrade

    Yep, here is what it looks like on My Tesla. I'll tell ya, I'd love the ability to rent the additional range. I don't need it day to day, but it would be nice for road trips. I'll just keep dropping that hint in different threads.. maybe someone will listen. :)
