How is it possible that out of all these so-called automotive reviewers (aka youtubers), not a single one of them got a 1/4mi dragy result?

Bc they could only take them into the mountains and windy roads of Malibu lol
They might have speed limited the cars. Could also be they were instructed not to.

19" is more balanced aesthetically and will almost always clear M3P brakes. 18" is dependent on the wheel and its drop center.

My bet is that it's part of an extended embargo or NDA kind of thing.
But maybe that's optimism that ludicrous unlock is in the cards before 2027.

I went through my summers in about 12k miles so i switched to A/S. I'm getting about 20k miles from these so thats a benefit. Noise? Incrementally more noise in my super noisy 2019 model 3 doesn't make a difference. Its all deafening to me anyway
Same here. Had PS4S's on my 2018 3, lasted about a year (10k or so miles). Switched to PS4 A/S and those have lasted about 20k miles and zero problems down here in Texas with the winters.
Applying more power at the rear during an understeer condition will only serve to take weight off the front end AND try to accelerate the vehicle, which will result in severe understeer. Natural understeer is certainly considered safer than oversteer for most drivers, but it does not have any performance benefits. I will be ditching the staggered setup on my Plaid and going square to address this exact issue. If you go do a track day, you'll find that the skinny front tires are what is limiting your lateral grip.

Every test I’ve seen looks like it’s done on public roads. I’m guessing Tesla didn’t let them take it to a track.

So Tesla added inventory Model Y Long Range and Performance trims in quicksilver! I would be pretty pissed if I took delivery and shortly after, this color became available for the M3P. I would pay for that color now.
Remember guys. Watching those YouTube reviews videos.
This is how much you need to turn the steering wheel. Bye bye fast steering
model Y is the "sporty" car from now

It’s very unlikely you’ll see it on other models. They’ve had quicksilver in other countries and recently expanded it. This was expected in the USA. It’s exclusive to Model Y in other countries as well. So we’d likely have to see a big change worldwide for Tesla to introduce it to other models. Also note they haven’t *added* colors in other countries, they’ve *replaced* colors for the new colors.
I'm holding out for this color
Tesla will improve their paint facilities in United States eventually - everyone here complains about Tesla paint quality.

Where are the big reviewers? Carwow, Throttlehouse, DeMuro?
How are we still talking about lack of sound in these reviews?

So Lars has come out and said they can up the power on the LG Pack to the same level of the Panasonic through a software update if they want to. Wonder if this means a Ludicrous power up option is on the cards at some point.
