Tesla Performance Model 3 Laguna Seca new mods and PB

There is no retainer spring either. The trick is to reuse the OEM shim on the rear outside pad. It will eliminate the rattle. It works on this pad and on my previous UPP rear pads as well.
Trackmasters racing is pretty good! Well organized, low car count. They don't really like passing in the corner and discourage passing after 8 to 11 for the point by group. Other than that I had a really good time. I would run with them again if given the chance.
Do you have any part numbers for these Endless pads? I'm trying to track them down thru their European distributor.
I emailed Unplugged and they are taking care of me. From what I remember the missing spring clips were a part of the factory pads.
Great company to buy from, will post once I install the replacements.
Nice. I have a Model Y on order, hope it is comparable. FYI, I have raced there many times in the Russell series and vintage, and also do driver instruction for various clubs. My lap times are around 1:54 in my 1965 Lotus Cortina Mk1, running on DOT tires, so your times are quite respectable, esp for a street car.

Awesome! I'm in Open (red) group (gray Miata #469) - I'll come say hi. REALLY want to see a M3 in action on track! Watching a car accelerate in silence on the front straight is going to be cool.
Seeing a whole fleet of them at Tesla Corsa was super cool. Nothing but the sound of tires clawing at the track.
@mcbarnet007 Can you confirm that the part number for the rear pad is HP866? This is what the distributor over here says is the one M3 owners have used. It's slightly different than the OEM pad but looks very close.
The pad back plate shape is brand new. I think the HP866 is compound shape that's closest to the OEM compound shape. However, you'll need the correct back plate to use it in P3D caliper.
Anything you can find out to help us get hold of the correct pads would be great, thanks.
@mcbarnet007 Endless have confirmed HP866 is the correct shape for the P3D but I'm not getting anywhere with the compound. Can you shed any more light on this?
I too have been waiting for the endless pads to be released as they seem excellent, but so far haven't seen or heard anything... how did you get these prototype pads?
I might have to try another brand since choices are limited and I have some track days coming up soon.

Our Endless pads haven't been officially released yet, but thanks to the great feedback from MCBarnet007 it looks like we're definitely on the right track.
We developed our new compound to be slightly more suitable for track use but still street friendly as I'm guessing the Model 3 in particular will be driven a lot, if not mostly, on the street as a daily driver. If anyone is interested we can't offer the pads for free as test at this point, but I think we might be able to offer a group buy option for anyone currently reading this forum.

Excellent.
If you want some test coverage in the wet of the Pacific Northwest, I'd be happy to help.
I'll be at PIR on Nov 2nd and 3rd, for example.
