Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

[TN M3P 2024]

Something’s happening because when I went in to manage my account to inquire about the reality of my EDD, it was greyed out and says cannot edit at this time and gave the number to customer service. Putting my glass half full glasses on and hoping that means something will, like others have said, pop tomorrow for a lot of us!

App finally updated

Congrats!

Pretty curious what is in this special firmware update that they would need to delay deliveries. Not like the car is gonna explode with “old” firmware, right?

More likely some legal issue that the firmware had to resolve.

Yea could be all smoke but at least it seems their “story” for the delays are consistent amongst all the delivery facilities.

I’d imagine because the firmware is what controls the estimated mileage displayed on the screen. Makes perfect sense to me.

So that’s what the 20s will look like if you only take out the long pieces. Not as funky as I thought it would look. Still wish it was like the 18s where it was even all around.

Would look good with some bigger brakes.

That gap though, sheesh.

There are no 18s, the only other version are currently 19s.

This actually isn’t as bad as I thought it’d look.

Just need a part to make it all the same height from the rim. Then we're good. I'll probably just leave them. I like the active brake cooling.

Yeah I was thinking the same. The M3P is supposed to be 10mm (0.40") lower, but this shot does not look like it is.

Yep, I’m sure that’s it. In a different industry, but sell flow measurement products that can be used to record a legal transaction of renewable natural gas that is used to get credits from the EPA/government. The final hurdle for reporting accuracy signoff from EPA took absolutely forever…

They probably will never put a set of six piston on there. Are those brembos? At least the front?

Sounds akin to the “recall” to fix the font size slightly a while back. Just tell people the estimate is just an estimate and deliver the vehicles lol. Seems a pretty red tape reason to need to hold things up. But, of course, that’s the government agency in action!

From the picture, I think I see 2 bumps, so it's likely a 4 pot.
But given the 99' stopping distance, it seems the brakes should not be an issue.

They are Brembo's with bimetal rotors (bi metal rotors are $$) all the way around. With the track pack pads (now standard) I never experienced brake fade or any other issue on the track. I never thought once, "two more pistons up front would really reduce my lap time." The previous factory pads did have pretty early fade though. I'm glad they went all in on pads.

It’s the same 4 piston brembo caliper as before.

I don't get it. Why is it non-uniform? There's one missing on the bottom left.

Nice! I guess 2 piece rotors and 6 piston is overkill and too much to ask for a car at this price. Lol

there are a total of 10 gaps that fit 5 large pieces (missing) and 5 small ones (all there).
