M3P- . What is it, how to order it, etc.

[StealthP3D]

The fact the AWD were previously built with #980 rear units and now are being delivered with #990 rear units seems to imply there is a difference between those parts and makes the likelihood of Tesla offering performance software future upgrade for a fee to current AWD less likely ; though again no one knows this for certain.

As time goes on, it's becoming crystal clear that everything is just like Tesla (Musk) said it was:

While early AWD and P3D's all had the same part number, all of the Performance versions tested high enough to be Performance models. Tesla will not flash an AWD to Performance unless their database shows it tested to Performance standards.

To believe otherwise would be to believe that EVERY early AWD tested good enough to be performance and now they are making a less capable drive unit than they delivered originally. Don't get me wrong, there are some people who will never admit they were wrong, ever, no matter what, even if there was incontrovertible proof (withness the people who believe the earth is flat or Apollo missions faked the moon landing).

These people STILL believe Musk lied when he said they tested the drive units and only the best ones would become Performance models. There is no changing their mind.

Is the AWD much slower? Be honest. Of course it’s “fast” compared to 99% of cars out there but how does it compare to a P3D-

We have a LR RWD and a Performance. Both are fast. Even the LR RWD blows away passengers with its speed. And the AWD is faster so, yeah, no worries. When I drive my wife's RWD I really don't miss the extra power (much) even though I use it all the time in my P3D.

Of course, it's still eye-opening for my wife every time she goes somewhere with me in my P3D.

Hey would you mind checking which motor you have in the back?

This is pretty solid proof that this car could have been delivered as a standard dual motor had you not purchased it as a performance.

My service advisor who I was working with to fix a few gap alignment issues basically told me off the record that the dual motor vs stealth thing as far as he knew was just a toggle they could switch do with any dual motor at delivery. Just like how they can drive your car around the service center without keys, they have root access to the car.

my car is in the shop for ppf/tint. will post info once I get it back...thx!

What has been the 0-60 for stealths?

What has been the 0-60 for stealths?

3.2

 

[ShaolinEV]

I am so confused, like not not not not not easy to understand. I was offered $51,500 with the 18” wheels

Different exterior colors, different price.

Is this real world testing?

 

[JakeJS]

Seems to be real world.

I'm considering buying a M3. I've always been a sports car guy, and the M3P is hard to turn down. I'm that much more likely to pull the trigger if I could snap the less expensive M3P-. Can anyone recommend a sales advisor who could connect me to a M3P- in the Charlotte NC area?

This is a full performance model though not a stealth. I'm just wondering..

Good luck If u need more help with an agent let me know. Everyone loves their stealths lol

 

[shiftkenny]

Also. East coast peeps rumor has it that some are coming your way

 

[Holotype]

Some folks are reporting that there are no ready-made M3P-s available nationwide as of today according to their SAs. Is that really the case?

Can SAs/OAs place an order for a new M3P- to be made, not in inventory?

Just curious... I already have mine.

They’re the same thing. The stealth just doesn’t have the 20” wheels, lower suspension, bigger brakes, or spoiler. Same exact drive unit, so same exact 0-60.

 

[Sklith]

Stealth Model 3s may have slightly quicker 0-60 time with the lower amount of mass in the wheels.

Ok.. I figured just wanted to know.. that ks

Send recommendation to me too, please! Charlotte is my closest shop. Thx.

Yeah, Engineering Explained did a video test of the stock 20" vs. smaller aftermarket wheels (not sure whether the stock 18s/19s are lighter than those aftermarket ones, though):
