Performance

The Tesla Cybertruck will need a first-rate dynamic air suspension to “kick butt in Baja.” We recently reported that Tesla CEO Elon Musk plans to drive a Plaid Cybertruck as his personal vehicle. This caused a bit of confusion for some since the Plaid powertrain is something that was first...

I just bought a 2020 Model 3 Performance. I want to change out the wheels/tires to 18" since most of my driving is done in and around DC and the potholes are a major problem. I considered the option for a Performance without the upgrade package to stay with 18" wheels, but with the factories...

According to this video, the Y has more horsepower and torque, but less on the low end. I suspect that this might be as much a matter of software as anything else. (Oh, and some of his other recent videos are pretty informative, too.)

I see where people are saying that deliveries for the black Model Y Performance will take at least 2-3 months, but has anyone on this board taken delivery of a black Model Y? I'm curious if that 2-3 month estimated delivery timeframe is accurate because the lease on my current car ends at the...

For those of you with a MYP/LR white interior reservation waiting for a delivery date, how long would you wait before giving up and changing your config to the black interior? Weeks, Months, a Year? As a child, I never repeatedly asked my parents the dreadful question, "Are we there yet?". After...

Unplugged Performance proves the Model 3 is a top-notch track car. Tesla aftermarket maker and supplier Unplugged Performance (UP) recently announced on the Tesla Motors Club (TMC) forum that it broke lap time records at the Buttonwillow Raceway Park in California. The record was set by a...

Anyone know if this is a $$ feature?

Not my car but I found this on Autotrader. Build date is 08/19, which makes this a Raven. No mention made of the kind of autopilot/FSD, but if you're in the market, check out the listing. Ford dealer, they are probably clueless about Tesla autopilot stuff. Advertised price is $95,988. Only 4,352...

It's easy to analyze you iPhone video on your Mac using QuickTime or Preview. Take a passenger's handheld vid of the speedometer. Then share on Notes or email to yourself and open with preview on your Mac. Here's my video showing how:

So I’ve made the decision to keep my P3D+ 20” for the time being and will swap out with the Gemini 19” when the Mrs’ LYD arrives. We have a trip coming up to CO and anticipate some wintry weather both coming and going and want a nice grippy tire that will still function well in more favorable...

I have 4 20” Model 3 Perfomance rims and tires. Tires have 5/32 measured by NTB. Looking for $2250 OBO I will post pictures tomorrow. No curb rash.

Last month the Model 3 AWD Long Range model received an update allowing owners to pay $2000 to increase its performance 0-60 from 4.4 seconds down to 3.9 seconds. Has anyone heard any word on a similar option being there for the Model Y? Maybe improving the AWD Long Range from 4.8 seconds to...

Hello everyone, very happy to announce TPT is now available on the App Store. This has been a long couple of months getting this functional and then approved. But I know it's going to be well worth the effort. I'm just getting started and have so much more planned for the app in the next few...

While I do like my Stealth Performance Model 3 I enjoy driving my gas sports cars MUCH more still. The Tesla serves its purpose as a commute car a few days a week. Any else feel the same?

I (think I) like the look of the P3D+ emblem over the DUAL MOTOR emblem, especially with the new "TESLA" letters on the trunk. Seems much sportier with P3D+...thoughts? (Yes, it's a new 2020 P3D(+))

The only reason other cars can top the Tesla Model S is that Tesla won’t provide a test car for publications. Car And Driver claims it tested the quickest car of the decade way back in 2014 and it’s still the quickest car. Moreover, since then, no other car has raised the bar enough to... READ...

Finally was able to order a set of these wheels off the tesla website in between States of being sold out. I was wondering for anyone who may already have these and have gone from the 20's to these how much of an improvement you saw. How much do the gemini caps help if at all?

OH MAN!! That 3% upgrade in HP was the first time my eyes tingled when I took off! How much faster you ask? Well I've driven my X Performance for 16,000 miles and have the car pretty much setup for Ludicrous + meaning - everything in the little cubby holes don't come flying out when I hit the...

Any Tesla/EV specific tuning shops in the DFW area that installs springs?

What brake pads fit the P3D+, so the Model 3 Performance brake callipers. Sorry if it's been posted before but couldn't find any information on it by using the search function. Thanks, Jip

Automotive journalist Doug DeMuro, who attracts millions to his auto reviews on YouTube, has posted a thorough overview of the Tesla Model 3. He says the Model 3 is “the coolest car of the year.” Among the observations in DeMuro’s column on the Model 3: Acceleration – DeMuro drove the...

Hello everyone, I have a Model 3 Performance and ordered 18" XIce3's with a set of rims from PMCTires that were guaranteed to fit. Went to get them installed, drove off and within 20 seconds came right back due to a loud noise from the back tires. Turns out the calipers were scraping against...

We finally got an AWD car on our dyno (thanks to our friend Shereef for lending us his P3D) and it was great to find that these cars will work with a Dynapack hub dyno without issue! After seeing the difference between the standard and long-range RWD Model 3, we were very interested to see how...

It’s high time to take an extensive look at how these two all-electric beasts stack up. To quote Top Gear, “It’s the EV heavyweight battle you’ve been waiting for.” Perhaps some of you haven’t been waiting for anything of the sort, and we totally understand that for a multitude of reasons...

Brand new, never installed Tesla Model S spoiler. No damage or signs of wear. Price is $700 local pickup in Seattle. I can ship it if you provide a mailing label.

Hi all, Quick question: will 18" Volks CE28 wheels by Rays Engineering clear the calipers on a Model 3 Performance? I have a set of these wheels from my last car (Subaru STi), and I'll be getting a M3P in January! I would REALLY love to use these wheels (as winters) since they are super light...

My S has pretty significant tire wear on both the inside and outside of the tire tread. These seems to suggest under inflation of the tires, which is entirely possible but the TPMS hasn't complained. I'm not sure offhand at what pressures it starts complaining nor am I sure at what pressures...

It seems fast and stable when it’s at speed. See the first video footage of the Tesla Model S Plaid as it tackles the Nurburgring. Claims are that this hot Model S can easily beat the Porsche Taycan. Seen here is the prototype version of the car that Elon Musk just announced for production...

Finally getting around to selling my wheels/tires. - 20" Matte black powder coated wheels (really good shape except for one small rash) - Michelin Pilot Sport 4/s (see pics for tread...i don't remember when i took them off (sorry)) - NO sensors - LOS ANGELES pick up only. They are located...

There’s a performance device called “dragy” that reportedly is very accurate. It’s $149. I’d certainly like to measure my Tesla’s performance, (uncorked S75D), but once that’s done I don’t really feel a need to have that dragy device sitting years unused in a drawer. So... What I propose...

We use track data, charging data, and some simple math to estimate results. Our preliminary estimate is that the Tesla Model 3 Performance, due to high battery temps, would not be able to charge at 250 kW like the Taycan at the high ambient temps encountered at the Nardo track. Also, the total...

is there any definitive documentation of what this means on Sept 1, 2019 Performance model specs. Seats the same? Lumbar adjustment? Cooling seat fan? HUD? Better lighting? Real leather? No sarcasm please.

looks like all Performance models got a price bump tonight. The S and X Performance cars each lost the free interior color choices. Carbon fiber White is now $2,000, effectively making each car more expensive unless you only like wood and black in your performance car.

The Performance 3 base price just went up $1000 tonight

I was a going to order a new P100 X and the price went up 2,000 tonight. More exactly the white carbon fiber that was included is now $2k. All the interior prices are extra except black. The choices were included before on Performance. I’m going to hold off till after the new year to see if...

I still have to pen the associated article, but I have put the video online at YouTube. Enjoy!

I’ve been helping a huge group of people find these cars and kept on getting asked the same question - what is the value of upgrades from the New $50k Sleeper P3 and the existing P3 at $55k. What do you think is the Value of: 20” rims, Carbon Fiber Spoiler, Suspension, and Track Mode? All I...

The price structure is Long Range and Performance with Ludicrous mode only. Will the existing owners still get $20K discount? My guess is that it does not. But it would be awesome if it does.

Check out this Tesla facing an off-road challenge track unabashedly. A lot of people look at the Tesla Model X with a feeling that it is not a proper SUV. For them, it is just a crossover. Or a taller Model S, straight from the shoulder. That may be true for most of its clients,... READ FULL ARTICLE

I can get good drive unit assemblies in lots of places, and in fact, they've fallen precipitously in price the past year or so. But, I'd prefer to give a good home to a MS or MX PERFORMANCE ("Sport") rear drive unit, or the subassemblies, where the diff or gearcase got trashed in a side hit...

190 km/h (118 mph) does the job if you are in a hurry in Germany, but most drivers will be fine with 130-150 km/h (81-93 mph)Preparing for long distance travel, one of the main questions is the optimal speed of driving. Higher speeds increase energy consumptions and shorten range (more or longer...
