Realistically, for people not tracking the car, 10s max power is all they need. I don't think I've ever gone WOT for more than 10s continuous on the road. Other performance cars have similarly duration-limited boosts.
The only question is how damaging it is to dip into this boost
The centre circles you screw or clip into, yeah but the surrounds look like part of the wheel. Will have to see of course, just mention it as some don't like the looks with the covers on but might not look great with the covers removed either if these are left behind.
Wonder why they've gone with this approach vs just clipping in? Is it because when people unclip them they can damage / mark the rims and this is how they get around that and still have a secure grip?
Not sure I'd want it lowered at least in the UK, it's low enough for our roads and speed bumps.

I wouldn’t mind air…lets you manipulate it for low low looks and raise it with a screen tap. Plaid/MSLR suspension tech isn’t bad at all…although I do have KW V3’s on the car now and they feel great too.

Skeptical. What proof is there that this isn’t a modified LR?
Tires rims…easy to get an AMarket and badge it tesla.
Spoiler…thousands available.
Ludicrous badge…Ali baba. $10.
A market rear diffuser? Easy.
Revamped bumper? Plenty of AMarket options even for current 3.
I have a 22’ LR ABoost and you tell me if it looks like a P or not.
(20” P rims, wider tires, CF spiller, tiny, AMarket diffuser, calipers painted black (could be red w/decals for $200).
Everything can be modified easily. Especially in China being the Mecca of available parts.
I’ll believe it when Tesla puts out an official statement. Until then, mods are mods.

It's PNCS, Pirelli's Noise Cancelling System.
Pirelli do offer a runflat version of the PZ4 but I don't think they're available in the Tesla version or the ELECT.

Very doubtful the Model 3 P will ever have air suspension. It's not that type of car.

IMO the body parts that differentiate the LR to Ludicrous E.G the rear spoiler and diffuser, front lip, look to be OEM quality with good fitment. We know most the aftermarket stuff fits like doo doo

It doesn’t look like a P.

Mine doesn’t.
if you want to manufacture something to fit, you make a few starter pieces and perfect it. Mass produce…sure starts to mess up. For this one off model, it’s easy to create a perfect piece to start. ‘ Looks to be’ is subjective and again all conjecture lol. We all want to see a P so badly that sometimes we ignore logical probability.
Other than a line underneath my dual motor, it ‘seems to be’ a Perf.

Uh have you seen the 2020-2021 oem P rims? Gunmetal 20” oem. Spoiler is oem.
The uberturbines are a newer P rim…heavy anchors.

you get the point. That’s a $5 red line item.One can make a rwd look like a P. Takes rims, badge, spoiler. Voila. The spoiler shown is not even a Tesla standard for the last 12 yrs since the 2012 MS P. All spoilers have taken a cue from the original CF MS.
Anyway…nice to see someone mod their M3 and try to pass it off

New rear end

New spoiler
Ludicrous badge (not Plaid)
EU QR code sticker
Black tape everywhere
Your premise is fine but your application to this scenario makes no logical sense. No one is manufacturing aftermarket parts for an unreleased car. Everything you did has been around for 7 years and is easily findable. Why would anyone stick black tape everywhere?

It’s fun and it’s a challenge.
I’m going with click bait until tesla announces. A highly successful click bait. Black tape means nothing. If you’re trying to pass it off, good job.
I’m not saying for an unreleased. I’m saying it’s possibly an LR designed to pass off as an incoming P. No one can substantiate other than Tesla when they are ready to.
Time will tell.
you guys can keep conjecturing and I’ll keep watching
