When they were asking VIN, I was literally going to the car in the showroom and writing down VIN from the one on the stand.

Peak power has little to no influence on 1/4 and 0-60. It was explained ad nauseam in this thread.

Battery indicator is not a battery temperature. It's an indicator of a current limiter, which has math model from the average current from time. If motors, invertor, cells overheat first - it will limit the current even earlier. My coolers and switched off regen keep temperature of cells below...

That's not really the case. They choose specific curve of temperature to voltage drop with lowest voltage hard limit well before the actual power limit. So if they choose to send a new curve - they can. It doesn't mean they will or any power is attainable. But they physically can do that.

For 0 to 60 or 1/4 peak power is much less significant than power under the curve

I predicted it will take a few months for Ludicrous option to buy, and I still think that's the case with 2.5 0-60 rollout extracted in US. I won't be buying it, because in the EU price (59.1 - 71.0K USD) vs trade-in is too high, battery cuts into power too much and seats can't be used with...

Which tire wheel?

Don't underestimate influence of low cg. Tire temps on the track say that -3.5f is too much for Model 3. On my Evo with hard springs I needed 3.5 easily

That's exactly the tool I used to cut head restraints on this seat that I've put in my current M3P But you can't do like that with stock seat. I just can't believe that they made a fake harness hole Instead of actually making one on a performance car. I mean, there is not much cost savings on...

Where I can read about subsidies in CZ?

Because you raised a suggestion that wider tires might require higher pressure and that negates benefits of wider tires. I mean, I don't know how else to read that, so I commented. I alluded to it in the earlier comments that if one runs a wider tire, but has to bump up pressures to compensate...

Wider tire needs less pressure for the same load. Always.

I didn't change my radiator. I thought that oil is hotter, so it works better as a cooling medium. I still have hot radiators, so I plan to put water spray on them. EVs are not that hot, so its much harder to cool them. Heat pump based model 3 are even harder to cool since they don't have an...

I disagree about front oil cooler. Front motor is hot. It throws that heat into the coolant. From coolant it goes everywhere. My front coolers push front oil temperature 20C lower. That can't be nothing.

So -2.5F is better for the track, but I'm lazy and gradually destroying outer shoulder of cup2 275 35 19. -1.5F is better on the same size 4S for the street. And that's what I have. -2.0R is good enough for both cases. You have -1.0R - that is not enough. 295 35 18 is better for the track...
