    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Mine's going to the track. Let's talk discount numbers! I'm game. I've had 2 "miles but first title" vehicles of the Model S variety and well worth it.

    Agreed. It's also a waste of power that could be used for literally anything else.

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

    I found this to be very odd feedback. Was it at 10% SOC or something?

    "Ludicrous" not "Insane"?

    You sound like someone that might be fun to have a "talk Tesla" lunch with. Lots of challenges pulling reality out of Musk statements.

    It would be nice to have a car under warranty again.

    At $9500 cheaper, the SG color is definitely growing on me.

    Multiple M3Ps dropping out of Track Mode for no reason

    I've experienced 4 cases of this. Two of them on the same track day recently. The first I think was when the brakes overheated. The car flipped on the hazards and took itself out of track mode. The second I don't recall the details. The third and fourth involved a red flag lap, me turning on...

    On the second paragraph, relax. :) Just asking about that specific thing, hence the specific quote. I keep hoping we'll see the 19s offered in some form direct from Tesla (with tire choices!) rather than having to smuggle something from a person in China.

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

    I've had S P85, S P85D, S 100D, 3P, and now X 100D. 290+ miles without a charge of any of them is kind of impossible for "flow of traffic" driving, IMO. Similar to what you asked though, the original S I drove to "2" rated miles at one point (and supercharged soon after). I also took it past...

    A bad one, or at least one that should have already retired.

    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    I suspect you're mixing up Plaid and Ludicrous. AFAIK, [1] Tesla has only used this badging on 2024+ Model 3 Performance and [2] it's dead on for the Ludicrous Speed image in Spaceballs the movie [to the point where they might have some copyright issues]. A decent screen capture of the...

    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    Tesla has made it clear that -- as a company -- they can't decide. They put a ludicrous badge on it but labelled the mode Insane. Pick a lane, Tesla.

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

    Wheels with tires. For a few weeks trip from WA to CA that included some track time, I had 4 wheels in the back seat (when not on track). (I was worried it would be snowing on Shasta.)

    Please add "500 mile range" pack and then I'm happy. ;) I spend at least half of my track days charging and travelling to/from the supercharger.

    Local Electric Company wants EV owners to pay for upgrading neighborhood infrastructure.

    Or maybe actually put in a hot tub, and then add a switch so you can charge your car when you're not using it. ;)

    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    This part of the theory doesn't make sense to me. It seems a serious misstep to put the ludicrous badge on the car if a software-unlock of a mode labelled Ludicrous will not be available. If the plan was "this chassis but with some additional upgrades will be available only as a full new car...

    4 wheels across fits in the backseat of my 2018 M3P It will be interesting to find out of the new wheels fit given the wider rears.

    Boss: We need "moar, better" charging in <region>. What options do we have? Underling 1: We can upgrade 10 stalls to the latest version. Underling 2: We can add 10 stalls with the latest version. Boss: Price difference. <mumbling> Underlings 1&2: 10% Boss: I think you know which option is better.

    Compiled List of Tesla Option/Production/Manufacturing/ Codes

    2024 M3(H)P reservation, codes not listed: - IPW4 - MT353 tesla-info.com considers MT353 at "Performance (Highland)" but doesn't list IPW4 I'm guessing IPW4 is white interior with the 2024 performance seats.

    Did Tesla really lay off their entire Supercharger staff

    That can work for science and engineering, because the "removed things" have no memory and can be reapplied as needed. People should be handled with more care. He might be "emotionless" (in a good way?) about some problem-solving, but he definitely tips into something more like "inhumane"...

    Not unpopular at all. Will be looking for non-staggered options as well.

    Will be a business school case study for sure: How Tesla managed to throw away everything, with small missteps and colossal mistakes. And maybe a creative writing course: If you could rewrite history with only the sane Elon days included, how would the world be different?
