    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Misinformation? I just posted something I watched. Where's your proof that PPF is impervious to bug bodies and rock chips?

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Bug bodies are acidic. I recently drive through a *sugar* ton of bugs at night and you can hear them hitting the glass like little hail. I got home and looked at the front and it was a massacre. Then I thought, what if I had PPF, I would have to have washed my car in the dead of night to clean it...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I was going to PPF but then I heard bugs will damage it and it was just too expensive. $7000 is not something I want to spend. (this is a full matte car wrap)

    Park assist is degraded

    Is it just me or have there been so really weird posts recently by people with completely broken grammar and weird sentences? Anyway... I thought that error was only for cars with the ultrasonic sensors. I've had that happen to me twice.

    Opening the trunk with some button ?

    How did people open trunks before this automated bulls**t? The "button" is in the exact same location as a normal manual trunk... My mind is blown.

    3+ years without a software update.. now it won't..

    If this is related to SSL certificates, they used to expire every 3 years and then 2 years. Now they expire every year. I'm assuming a car that is consistently getting updates would automatically be getting the new certs.

    All 19" wheels fit, even the Tesla ones.

    All the T-Sportsline 18" and the Marian 18" fit the performance Model 3s.

    ChargePoint home not as advertised

    The numbers are rounded. If it happened to be at 11.5 or above it gets rounded to 12. If it's below 11.5 it get rounded down to 11 kw. If it shows 11KW, you are probably still getting close to 11.5 if your voltage and amperage math out. (240V x 48A)

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    It depends. Some aftermarket wheels that are 18" will fit over the performance brakes. The stock 18" Tesla wheels will NOT fit. The bolt pattern should be the same 5x114.3 pattern.

    Your tire and wheel ratios? No, not in my car. You can only select wheel size. Ratios are your tire width, sidewall height ratio and your tire size.

    5/1? People that ordered on 4/23 are getting there's in June.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Yes, you can switch to a square setup. You just have to research the proper ratios so that your speedo is not too out of wack.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    It qualified on the first two days because the base price when the performance was announced was $52,999. Choosing red bought it up to $54,999 which is under the $55,000 limit for the federal $7,500 rebate. After two days or so, because too many people were ordering the red, they raised the...

    Model 3 highland build quality

    Just because it's made in china doesn't mean it's poor quality. It's all about quality control and if they want to do it. iPhones are all made in China, DJI drones made in china, etc. Quality control is all about the company. Most Chinese companies don't care about quality because they want to...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Sorry, I'm not as up to date with the Model X but yes, all pre 2021 Model 3s use batteries from Panasonic made in the USA. I don't think Model 3s ever used 18650 cells. I wouldn't worry about the charging speed of the LG LR battery. It's slower but not like it's 50% slower. Your charging at...

    Vendor Teslaunch Gear Shift Stalk Switch Turn Signal Lever Kit for Model 3 Highland🚀🚀GIVEAWAY!

    How come you guys changed up the way the high beams work. Normally it is push forward to activate highs and pull towards me to flash. But you put the horn there on pullback, why? Considering the horn on the steering wheel is still a real horn and overseas people don't use the horn that much...

    Just ask for a Recurrent report and if they didn't do that, buy from someone who has done that.

    Model 3 Performance 2024 Daily Driving on Speedbumps… how good is adaptive suspension compared to 2024 LR or RWD?

    There is a setting, Standard or Sport suspension setting. I think with the Standard setting and tires with more sidewall, it will feel the same as the LR.

    Model 3 without daily charging

    Small commutes will drain more than you estimate. Every time your car wakes up, turns on the HVAC, etc it drains your battery that not not counted towards the "range". So put a buffer in your estimate. If you drive all local traffic in your short commute, then I would say the efficiency comes...

    Recurrent: Model 3 drivers got 72% of EPA range with new cars, 64% after three years

    It's not waking your car to get this data. They are not like the other products that grab a lot of other data in almost real time.

    Recurrent: Model 3 drivers got 72% of EPA range with new cars, 64% after three years

    That article is meant to be confusing and the data is confusing. If I drive 80 MPH of course I'm only going to get 75 - 80% of the rated EPA range. I live with that, that's fine. The NCA battery has a degradation rate of up to 5-7% the first year. Then is levels off to about 1% a year after...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Ok, yeah he really doesn't know the most up to date Tesla battery configurations. M3 SR (Standard Range RWD) - Uses LFP made by CATL in China. LFP have lower power density so that's why they are used in the SR. For a given battery size, they can hold less energy (to simplify). Slow charge and...

    All Tesla Service Centers have Superchargers. I know of a Service Center in Paramus, NJ that has a full public Supercharger in its parking lot.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Of course the LR is more comfortable. The suspension is softer than the old Model 3s, making it more comfortable. Soft suspension is not what people who want to get a performance vehicle wants. Also the wheels are bigger with thinner tire sidewalls. Just put smaller wheels and more tire and it...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I remember ordering my Subaru Legacy GT. Took 3 months, that's what they told me it might take and that's what happened. I didn't get a daily update on the status and VIN numbers and all that jazz till it was getting shipped to the dealer. I just waited.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    That is the second option... That picture is like that because that is the 19" wheels with holes in every section and not just holes in every other section like the 20". On the 20" the sections without the holes won't be able to clip that thin black plastic insert on.

    Daily Driver - Model 3 LR vs P?

    I would say LR. If you don't qualify, others will have an $7500+ advantage over you so the car is already worth that much less for you. As a first time Tesla buyer, I think the LR performance would be plenty. Once it feels slow, you can upgrade to the P.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    I don't get where people are coming up with that sales are down. Maybe down for a quarter but the Model Y is the best selling vehicle in the world and in the US they already sold 110,000 units by April this year. People might wait for the refresh next year but the Model 3 Performance is going to...
