First ‘tuned’ Tesla Model 3 spotted in New Mexico

Isn't that car just wrapped?
I'm not sure what's "tuned" about it.
I suppose an employee has given their car to a vendor to get wrapped in orange and get blacked out.


I was hoping to see the actual body panel mods below - which to me is tuned.

I guess "tuning" has a different meaning these days.

Unfortunately, it's been that way for a while especially in the 'Honda' world. Each sticker adds 1-2 extra hp.

Louder muffler modifications add at least 1 HP per decibel increase on those same 'Hondas'...

That could explain why we've seen so much info from two 3 owners out of TX, who I think are family to Tesla employees, but I could be wrong.

There is SpaceX facility in McGregor, TX and I know one or two of the deliveries were for employees there.

@anonim1979, is that a custom paintjob, or the factory red? Looks more orange/bronze to me.

Its a wrap.

IMHO - wrap.

Could you possibly take pics of:
1. Rear vents on center console straight on (I'm curious if the picture posted earlier just looks odd from the angle and how the vent really looks like up close)
2. Roof - specifically whether there are popup flaps for attaching racks

As previously posted on other forums there are small arrows on the roof glass pointing to metal tabs under weatherstripping tabs. 2 on each side. Opinion is for roof rack attachment.

Found the Model 3 roof rack attachment points. Hidden under the rubber trim of glass roof #Tesla #Model3

I guess I missed that post...but in that case, how about a close up of this, maybe even pulling that weather stripping up? Doubt he'll let you do that, but doesn't hurt to ask.

Supercharging speed. At unpaired stall. Note a few points xx% - yy kW
Confirmation of a sustained charging at about Model S 100D level would be nice

( from Slower supercharging on Model 3 )

Is there any way to find out the rim size? Not just 20", but the bolt pattern also. Its usually stamped on the rear of the rim.

Just saw my first one this morning. Midnight grey w Aeros. Looks like a cross between the S and the X.

My opinion is that 19s are a better looking wheel size and that the front could use a something that makes it look lower to the ground. Car looks like is has a large interior volume, so good if you have frequent back seat use.

Thanks, I guess all my requests are already satisfied somewhat eh?

Although that pic of the weatherstrip peeled doesn't help much...can't really tell anything. But we have to assume that's the mounting points.
