You're absolutely right. I'm inclined to believe what I'm smelling is heat - now the source of the heat is what I'm trying to figure out. I noticed the smell again today and I was literally just cursing around local road never even accelerated hard. However, this time I had the music turned...

I'm tempted to put it in track mode and try again, but I know the cooling system is operating at higher levels as soon as you put the car in track mode so I don't know if it'll heat up as quickly. Does anyone know if my warranty would still cover any issues if something were to overheat and...

I have a relatively new (~3000 miles) Model 3 Performance. I was aggressive on the accelerator for a solid 20-30 seconds today (wasn't flooring it but close) and a few seconds after I let off the pedal, a distinct smell of overheating electronics (possibly burning?) started filling the car. If...

Have not checked if they fit yet. It ended up being warm enough here that I don't need to switch out my summer set until next winter. I ordered from their website and the wheels shipped from Canada, no extra cost or fees so if I were you I'd just order from their Canadian website too. I...

Is that still an issue on the newer models? I used to have a 2020 M3LR and I hated how the car smelled like dirty feet after a few months. Taking delivery on a 2023 M3P next weekend and would like to mentally prepare myself if that is still the case.

Yes, you should get hubcentric rings. You've probably come across ones that are compatible with the stepped lip on the hub by now but another option is to buy the step delete kit sold specifically for the M3P. The stepped delete kit will let you run any 73.1 OD|64.1 ID hubcentric rings without...

Yes, the car is compeltely stock. My delivery date is Friday 2/17 (knock on wood). Again, I'm not going to be taking this car on the track but I've owned a M3LR and have rented an R8 Spyder and I'm trying to do the low hanging fruit improvements that I can to reduce the roll on the Tesla so it's...

Did not know that! I just said 255+ as an arbitrary number because I couldn't remember if 265s were too large for the M3P. But now that I know 265s would work I think that's what I'd go with for the summer set. Now the question I have is regarding staggered fitment, should I run 265s on all 4...

If I happen to get caught in a snow storm when I'm driving somewhere I'd like to be able to make it safely. However, I won't be taking this car out if it is icy or if there is a lot of snow already on the ground. I'll do some googling as well but are there tires as good as Michelin PS4Ss that...

Thank you for the very detailed response. I wish I lived in a warmer area so I could run summer tires year round. But since I need the A/Ss for the winter I think my next best option is the UHP A/Ss and I’ve also heard a lot of good things about the Michelin PS AS 4s over other A/Ss. Now if...

Thanks for looking out! And yes, the OEM 18” Aeros will not fit. I actually bought these: https://store.superspeedwheels.com/products/flowform_rf05_mb?variant=39511152591006

Hello, I’ve seen a lot of posts discussing the improvements in 0-60 times, range, noise, ride softness, and protection against hazards with smaller wheels. I need to switch to Ultra High Performance A/S tires once my M3P is delivered since we see below freezing temps in Delaware in the...
