The Model 3’s uncanny stability while cornering is mostly the product of its lithium-battery keel; but Tesla didn’t skimp on the suspension bits: upper and lower A arms (aluminum and steel) with virtual steer axis geometry, twin-tube coilovers and anti-roll bar in front; in the rear, a multi-link geometry, also with twin-tube shocks and anti-roll bar. For now the hottest tires available are the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, which are nice all-rounders but not particularly grippy. My message to the engineers: more tire.
We've been hearing rumblings around here by the race track crowd that the square 20" option was unlikely to cut it on the track against the M3 because of a lack of width (thus contact area). I think this is an unsurprising comment, seems fair for what the Performance is aimed at and capable of.Anyone want to comment on how significant is this blurb:"... My message to the engineers: more tire...."

I'll play a bear.I feel bad for the author, he's about to face the wrath of the shorts.
I swear this just sounds like a general description of the standard model 3 suspension bits... Am I wrong, or is the performance 3 actually getting an upgraded suspension? And yes, many of us had a feeling that the square 235 tire setup would be weak.
It's some sort of polymer over a steel core, I believe. Which, yes, is weird.A arm would be different since I think last I saw, the RWD upper A arm was not aluminum (more like plastic?)
Yes, mix in some recycled factory process FUD and more "they'll run out of money", and that's likely to be the new set of talking points because they have an air of plausibility to them.I'll play a bear.
We had plenty of good reviews. They will not change the situation drastically. We need:

Tesla Pushes Up Delivery Schedule For New Model 3 Orders
2. Manifestation of new strong demand from outside the reservation line. This is TBD.
Bears point is that w/o the tax credit nobody will be able to afford the car. Plus there's no demand outside fanboys.
It will be very interesting to see order dynamics in Q4, once there's less tax credit expectation and there's been more marketing exposure from test drives and Q3 deliveries. Q3 I feel may still be a question mark as far as future dynamics.
