[Perry]

I will be attending (90% sure) and bring a friend (another Model 3 owner)

I'ts looking bleak for me at this point, I thought I could work long hours mon-wed and sneak away for a nice relaxing 4 day weekend but all I have now is more work, a client we sold one of our houses to (we flip houses) owns a P100DL, he told me any time I want to get a private factory tour that he could arrange it for me as his wife has a connection there, he has not come through yet, oh well back to work!

 

[BillO]

I will be there, traffic willing. Hope to get my AWD Model 3 in October...

 

[GTDaveLo]

HOPE to have my M3 Performance delivered tomorrow afternoon and IF I do.... I will show up to the event.... Will you have parts for sale on the spot ?

 

[MountainPass]

Awesome!

@JeffC - we are flying out early on Friday. But I'm sure we'll be back soon!

@jeff mccabe - sounds great, looking forward to meeting you tomorrow!

@Sam123 - Looking forward to it, we will take you for a ride!

@gilscales - sorry to hear that, good luck with work.

Here are some photos of the first production set of MPP Sports coilovers and a few shots I took earlier today. See you all tomorrow!

Hi Everyone! View attachment 327379

We're pumped because we are coming down to visit Cali again! We are flying for a few days to check on and ensure smooth delivery of our first sets of coilovers, and we thought while we are down we should arrange another meetup!

So let's all get together, chat with other Model 3 aficionados, plan how to convert ICE drivers, and just have a good time! We're open to suggestions on location. Last time we met up at Alice's but we learned it's a bit of a drive through traffic. Any other suggestions near some good mountain roads?

I will plan to attend... with two requests. Never say Cali when visiting and the local name for the Alpine Inn is Zotts!

With any luck, we'll have our suspension in a Model 3 for anyone interested to go for a ride that didn't get the chance last time we were in town at Alice's.

[Mobocracy]

Going to try and make it - look for the Blue MIII

 

[Ichibanumba1]

Will try to make it around 7:30 -8:00! Really debating between the comfort vs sport coils and would love to hear your opinion on wheel fitment since I believe you guys have fit the largest tires with lowest offset I've seen online.

See you soon!

 

[randogg]

Just read on another thread that the wheels are PF01 Enkei's 18/9.5 +35 with 265/40/18 PS4's, i'm really curious what model this is and what is the wh/mi they are getting with those 265's?

Is this the RWD, AWD or the P?, what is the range hit with those 265's ?

Same here. I'm looking at the PF01 or RF1 from Enkei, and this wheel and tire size is of great interest.

In particular, is it wide enough to rub the fender in the front? The +35 offset could help with the clearance to the fender, but it also means the clearance could be tighter towards the center of the car.

Also would like to know the impact on range. Over at Model 3 Owners Club @Mad Hungarian estimated about a 5% loss of range due to the added width and tire type.

This was a RWD. MPP don't have the suspension springs yet for AWD since they require a different design in the front to accommodate the drive shaft.
