FYI, if you care to get this more centered, I had success in moving the subframe. Take the undertray off, loosen the subframe bolts, use a crowbar to move it (towards the driver side in your case). This will mess with your steering wheel centering until you re-align it. Shouldn't touch the toe though. My car was like yours and now it's within 0.05 on each side.

I have a decision to make as I embark on autocrossing my 22 M3P. Here in Lancaster/Harrisburg PA area, I will be the only Tesla. My thought was to go ahead and run SS. There are two very accomplished guys....one with GT3 and the other a GT4 which I don't think I can run with unless it rains at every event 
....there are a couple of corvettes in SS too. I think I can be competitive with them.
If I go to EVX....I will be alone.....only running for PAX honors.....and I guess go down the modification rabbit hole.....

Ugh. I'm not sure how much I care to be honest but good info.
Hey John, it's Matt... What region/club? I know Eric Coffman runs his GT3 at some Central PA events, he beat up on me in SS the entire 2020 season when I was stock, even in EV-X it's hard to be competitive against that car depending on course.

I have lots of experience battling Porsches unfortunately, Eric's is a PDK and that thing straight rips.

I don't think there's a chance in hell of that. AS is a "protected" Corvette class for some reason. Considering even the Standard Range RWD Model 3 is in SS, they don't give a *sugar*. It's also why I have participated in 0 SCCA sanctioned events in the last 3 years.

Both guys here have PDK's. An amazing gearbox!! I had a PDK Boxster S a few years back.

so.....where in the SCCA rules say a Tesla is not allowed in XSA? We have a huge group of those here in my region. In fact that is where I ran last year in my Audi TTS.

Maybe this?
But overall I'd say it would be a very picky person that tried to argue that a Model 3 wasn't allowed in XSA. The fact the exclusion list includes some SS cars kind of hints at what it is meant for though.

Come and try to win some money. Unfortunately we are not recognizing EV-X (maybe next year as I might go that route) so we would stuff you in XS but come out for the weekend for a national level competition where you could get paid!
Supercharger is 30 minutes away, I arrive to the venue with ~93% battery
Camping on site (no amenities unless a port-a-potty counts)
Sampson State Park has camping spots across the street
@SK360 @Fprodget @Rodney! I know you 3 should come out because you are close enough!

SCCA doesn't pay out for AutoX...
But yeah I figured the no EV-X would lose you the most. No reason to add it if we have no one running it, supps are already done for this year sorry
You letting me drive yer car? I still don't have a vin...
You bringing the hoosiers? but seriously there will be seats available in other cars that will be more competitive if you wanted to come up...

Yeah but needing to pay for a SCCA weekend membership will make me cry.
. Metallica is in town that weekend and there’s something else pending that could flip our entire life upside down, I do really want to make it up to Seneca Army Depot though, if not this year next year for sure.

Unless I am missing something being new to the Tesla....there are three choices Super Street, A Street Prep, or EVX. and maybe XSA.....but that Peachey fellow in the corvette is obscenely fast.
