I wouldn't touch anything Megan with a 10' pole. Junk.
I am at -4.2 with the MPP arms. Run Model Y lower control arms and you get more camber as they are longer than the Model 3. You can definitely get more camber with the UP arms as I had almost 5 at one point. I have had some issues with the ball joints wearing out on the UP arms.
Do our cars need that much camber? We have decent suspension design and not much body roll (with mods).
I'm wearing inside tire edges more autox'ing with ~3.0 degrees (with 295/305-wide tires).
Depending on the suspension setup yes. Autox is tricky as you can't get enough temp into the tires to really measure tire temps across the tread. I measure at every track weekend at least once if not more depending on setup changes I make and generally find the best distribution of temps to be had when running a bit over 4* front and a bit under 3* rear.
These cars roll a lot on street oriented suspension. You can see it in my profile pic. Being double wishbone does help with the camber curve, but they still need a decent amount of camber to rally stick.

Posted and got banned for a year from the Ring together with hefty penalties. BTG for M3 is still around 7:40. High speed straights killing the time a lot with the model 3 high speed power drop.
Model S Plaid Track Pack looks like reasonable package - you get usable brakes and unlocking top speed. Model 3 wheels are not a good choice for the track. They are still too narrow and too big.
Model 3 Track Package
Optimize the track performance of your Performance Model 3. Track Package is a complete hardware package designed to give you maximum cornering force, braking performance and high-speed stability for the best lap times. Includes: 4x 20X9.0J Zero-G performance wheels 4x Tesla T logo center caps...

You might want 19" wheels to shave some weight. And can someone enlighten my as to why anyone would want lug nut covers for track use?

Sorry for the dumb question. What tire pressure should I be running? I’m tracking my model 3 long range with 265/40/18 at 2.1 bar target hot. From what I’ve read it seems to be too low.
How much camber do you have? Sounds low for 265-wide tire, unless you have tons of camber.
Tyre type has a bearing but I'd normally be around 2.5-2.6 bar with a Michelin PS4/Cup2, and slightly higher with an AR-1. I agree 2.1 is too low.

No Camber yet, next upgrade, I picked the wheel width with future prep in mind. Also, front adjustable Camber first right ?
I kinda want to see a pic of the sidewall of those RSRRs, after being run at 2.1bar/30psi with no camber.
I'd run 2.8-3.0bar until you get front/rear camber arms.
It depends on tire size and load rating way more than on a rubber. Im daily driving with 2.1 on 275x35 r19.

I also run lower pressures: 32 PSI cold on my 275/35R19 daily all-seasons, and have settled on 30 PSI hot for my Federal 595RS-pros, also in 275/35R19.
I daily and race with 3.2f and 2.4r camber.
