Shoutout to the boys over at
@UnpluggedP for taking delivery of two 2024 Model 3 Performance's and getting them under the knife ASAP!
I can almost say with certainty, any wheel setups compatible with Gen.1 M3P will also be compatible with the new one (Gen.2). The hub/brake assembly appears to be the same. Unfortunately, the exposed hub lip is something that we will still have to deal with for Gen.2. However, by now we already offer plenty of solutions to address this.
The front suspension upright is different. My hopes is is this will allow more clearance than Gen.1 so we can have better compatibility with 10.5" and wider wheels for track/performance use. We can only confirm this once UP decides to share this data or whenever our own shop M3P gets delivered here in Portland.
There's shorter factory springs and longer shock travel for the rear. Hopefully this means the suspension will play nice with aftermarket lowering springs or height adjustable springs (H.A.S), since we will be dealing with adaptive suspension now. Likewise, I'd like to see one of suspension leaders make a P&P coilover kit that will seamlessly interact with the car's adaptive suspension programming.
Overall, very excited for more development and testing on these new cars. For anyone looking to do a square or staggered aftermarket wheel setup, feel free to message or email me directly. We have plenty of options in-stock. We're also going to be offering early Gen.2 M3P owners great deals on compatible parts here on TMC!
Thanks,
