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

[Bigserver1]

Not stock. I put 235 width Efficiency All Season tires on to give everyone else a fighting chance.

I can’t give more details right now but this was still full weight. All seats and interior was left intact.

This was actually the slow run. Just absolutely insane what this car can do.

That is unreal- super excited to see what else you come up with!

When update on the fit for these on the 2024 M3P?

I am running the TSportline TS5 18” wheels without any issues at all.

I knew they would fit like I said on the other thread. Tesla stated it only changed the pads. Did you keep the 20s?

You think the 18" TST (which fit on the 2018 M3P) will fit also?

 

[mpgxsvcd]

You think the 18" TST (which fit on the 2018 M3P) will fit also?

Yes, I believe all T Sportline wheels designed for the old Model 3 Performance will fit as long as the wheel weights are placed properly.

I knew they would fit like I said on the other thread. Tesla stated it only changed the pads. Did you keep the 20s?

Yes, it appears to be the same dimensionally for brakes as the old car.

 

[mpgxsvcd]

I did not encounter any issues with a square 235 setup.

Wait, you clocked that running 235/40 ALL SEASON tires squared??

So it appeas this new M3P is not traction limited either like the previous gen. Wow

 

[GregD60]

I don’t know why but this was the best I could do today. Not sure what is going on. Previous gen cars were doing 60-130 mph in 11.1s and this is all I could manage today. Can anyone help me understand what I am missing with this picture?

457 is the answer to everyone’s question. 457. Remember that number.

I think you forgot to engage the cold gas thrusters.

235/45/18 on all four corner to be precise. However, unlike the previous generation this car was fighting traction for a good bit of the 1/4 mile. Better tires would definitely improve on my times.

This thing is STUPID FAST. Not Plaid fast but pretty darn close to Model S LR fast.

Expected nothing less! Still doubting that canbus HP numbers? ;-)

So wait was that on oem wheels or the t sport lines

However …butt Dyno probably feels the M3P faster …lighter and more nimble so I’m sure it just feels racier than SLR?

3 will feel faster down low for sure. Higher speeds (60ish +) S LR will probably still feel faster. 3 will definitely feel more nimble, not sure which will actually corner better. The S corners surprisingly well, and at least the old 3 reached its cornering limits surprisingly early.

 

[Sellout]

457 is what? Max power at the rear motor?

 

[mpgxsvcd]

The numbers the Teslogic displays are a little optimistic. It thinks the car is a Model S Ludicrous I think.

No, not at the rear motor. Different units too.

T Sportline wheels. I have a 450 mile drive today so I needed my efficiency setup and I didn’t want to change wheels at 4:00 am this morning.
