    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Shear speculation: as they have to install it and it goes into part of the wiring harness they rather not labor remove then plug and labor reinstall. Rather just reinstall new one. Of the $300 cost. my guess 50% is labor/logistics. I see multiple versions of them on eBay for 50-100 used...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Still ICE driver. Drove a 2019 M3P for a week last year. After about couple of hours I was hooked on it. Yes it took some getting used to but after the week I missed It. Going back to my 5 speed auto with having to move my foot to that other pedal was a PIA. Been looking for the the m3p...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Tableau of M3P on tracker orders (left) and and distribution of superchargers (Right). Quite a similarity. I would think distribution across all models likely similar but interesting just the same. Also suggesting sample size of tracker is getting more accruate. :cool:

    Lol. Similar experiences but technical roles fixing stuff. Different worlds and different perspectives, combining together make the best solutions. (will leave my micrometer at home )

    I respectfully disagree. Only if you are a sphincter boy in how you act if you find a problem would be a issue. I am sure will get some eye roles by SA. We are paying customer with with a fairly expensive limited avaliblity item that is key for our daily lives and we are waiting patiently for...

    Weekly spy video out. been watching this most of the year (yes the highland release sickness is real). The out going lot has barely had M3 thru Q1. This week and last weeks had lots of M3's. Looks like lots of M3P shipping this time. A good ramp rate sign and little if any impact from fire...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    This seems like the designers did what they said they did. I would hope the long range is squishier and more comfortable. The essence of a performance version is stiffer, tighter, quicker handling than the base. This was the problem with the old one basically the same car but more current...

    With the brake talk, it reminds me of break-in to a ICE vehicle. As this should be my first ev, assuming I get a Vin. lol... :-) I notice everyone is getting there new ride and hammering it right out the block with less than 10 miles. With ICE engine piston rings, seals and lots of...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Tesla-info.com tracks inventory numbers from Tesla. So this is cars in inventory not delivered. So if cars are being made and delivered instantly the number stays low. It gives a kind of glimpse into production numbers, but coupled with demand depleting production. The below is North America ...

    Great point if these are true lowfaid high temperatures pads, they will typically be less efficient at cold. Higher coefficient of friction u is more dependent on the pads being hotter.

    There is brake pad seating and compound process.. I have seen on line YouTube Tesla service mode there is actually a program to walk you thru it. But in general find a lonely road, and accelerate to 60ish and break to 5mph or so. accelerate again and repeat 7-10 times. you should smell...

    Congratulations to those gettin deliveries and vins. Repat the oath. I am faster but I am kinder. I will pass and and move back over with ample room. With lack of obvious signal stalks,, I will perform proper signal. Within a Tesla I am not a BMW driver. Faster,smarter, and better I am. .

    Wonder if first batch was white interior for marketing reason of bling for the show rooms, of the new shiny release? Every showroom world wide seems to be getting a white. Even if not getting a M3P you see the white as the "premium" bling factor and are persuaded for it as a compromise for your...

    So the early orderers also got the historical low today for "list" price of the M3P ... Nice!!! Although I don't belelve the historical tracker took the inventory discounts they gave on them clearing out before highland. There were some mad m3P inventory+rebate discount going on last...

    I am comparing all highland/refresh so the aero on 2024 LR (slipperier) and aero of 2024 P (more spoiler drags). but putting the M3LR on optional 19" wheels for 305 epa...... what happens with a M3p on forged 18" hummmmm. (if they fit)

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    SO..... if the M3P on staggered 20".P235, P275 5.0" ride heigh (2023 had 82KWhr batt) now gets 303 EPA and the M3LR on 19" P235 all around 5.4" ride heigh, 82KWhr gets 305 EPA With the wider tire patch, larger diameter wheel, and added front and rear aero forces but reduced cross-section. Is...

    Examples of Colorful Splash Guards

    Noticing the white delivery protectors, on the transports door handles and sill, the white makes a nice pop contrast. also goes with the red brakes, but not with red everywhere possible. Not sure about mud flaps that are white. There's a reason there typically black lol. But you got me...

    12V wire tap for radar detectors in Model 3 Highland

    A little less than plug and play but making lower dc voltage with a little voltage divider using our old buddy V=IR https://ohmslawcalculator.com/voltage-divider-calculator#google_vignette .1 and a.3 would get a quick drop with out too much draw. but will generate a little heat. The car...

    When trying to eek out every cent, not the first auto maker with production lines to restrict color for efficiencies. LOL. âTrue or False: Did Ford really say âAny color the customer wants, as long as itâs blackâ? At least you can get a color if willing to pay for it :p-->😭

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Sounds like Henry Ford move. Any color you want as long as stealth grey. I get why they are doing it but will it hurt demand if you can't exterior customization? must have very high demand. Will make widget punching easy if they are alll the same.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    My presumption is there is better margin on the M3P. Thus converting a LR to M3P helps TSLA bottom line perciularly if they have supply chain issues with white LR interior. I do understand the sentiment, being one bumped from May - june to June.

    Should I pull the trigger?

    Just pulled the trigger on the 24 M3P. It is to replace my 2002 tundra. I bought it new and drove it. Its going to one of my kids who needs a car. Keeping a reliable car running where it isn't costing a tone you can be one of the best things for your long term finical health. Just my $.02. A...
