I was thinking that running 18s would be nice for the winter and I like the idea of the Aeros to try and optimize the range as much as possible. So, the MPP rotors are 4mm thicker plus 15mm spacers minus 5mm for the more poitive offset of the Aeros, and you moved the wheels 14mm to the outside of the car. Any idea what impact that had on the range?

Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

I'm sure for some folks, a car is a big purchase that requires more thought and consideration. Not like grabbing a pack of gum in the checkout line.

Planning to go with 19x10 +35 with 275/35 tires (square) for my 24 M3P. Curious how much the forged Warp wheels will pull.
Curious if the real reason Tesla chose the summer tires for the M3P is because Elon thought it was necessary to have a 0-60 time starting with a 2 and if he had gone with an all season tire it would have been just over the 3 mark. With the MYP it was already at 3.5 anyway so there was no benefit to selecting a summer tire. Aside from the 0-60 time how could the inconvenience of summer only tires out weigh any perceives deficiencies with going with something like the Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4?
I was doing 235wh/mi average last summer with PS4S. 227wh/mi on a 230miles trip. Car lowered and running -3deg of camber front though.
That's excellent, even with the lowered vehicle. It sounds like the change in offset had no negative impact.

Well then why wouldn’t he go with a 19” lighter rim/tire combo and take off even more weight regardless of AS or summer?
Maybe 19’s high Perf AS would get 2.9 as well

Oh, how I wish he had. When I can order one in red and get the tax credit, those 20s with summer tires are coming right off.Well then why wouldn’t he go with a 19” lighter rim/tire combo and take off even more weight regardless of AS or summer?

My fastest 0-60 times with the current M3P have been with winter tyres on a cold damp road. Traction isn't an issue as many of us keep pointing out.
Oh yeah, i definitely made the right choice picking black
There no bad color for this shape I reckon, black always looks great, only trouble is keeping the little devils clean. haha. Red looks great, grey is subtle but nice, the blue is different, white always looks good.
Quicksilver would be amazing too but that wont be happening for a while.

I'm old. I forgot the day but I think it was Wednesday. It was the next day after Tesla gave the OK to be able to order.

There are going to be a lot of fence sitters till we see some hard performance data - if its not in the 10.8X and 123+ bracket Im walking away.

Keep in mind this is sub-$50k car.
It's a performance car. The long range exists for your needs

Stop dreaming bro and get a Plaid... what is it with this obsession of trying to make this new M3P a hypercar? It's just a fast cheap car
