    Add DSP to 2023 Model 3 RWD?

    Thinking about switching because I love the UberTurbine's looks. Anyone switch to the 20" on their RWD? Is the increase in bumpiness noticeable because of the 20" 35 aspect ratio vs the Aero's 45 ratio?

    LR RWD Range Increase

    Now that the AWD’s range is approximately the same as the RWD version, the order page on the Tesla RWD account’s mileage indicates “NaNmi”. I would guess that to mean “Not available ? mileage”. Does anyone have a better guess at what Tesla is trying to communicate?
