Hi. Looking to link up with owners who track their cars near Northridge, CA. Anyone interested in a meetup, or communication on here about our cars? I have a gray Performance Model 3 with springs, sway bars, track rims, tires, brake pads, brake lines, and track brake fluid. I've also...

I also installed Eibach performance sway bars front and rear, as well as Truhart Camber arms in the rear. I usually run solo at the California speedway. I sent you a PM, as I need some advice on rims and offsets. I already know I want to run on Nankang AR-1s. Look forward to some advice so I...

Sorry for the delay in responding. I am in southern Cali - in Granada Hills. I usually run at Cali Speedway. I need to talk to you urgently as I am ready to pick up wheels and Nankang tires. I'll PM you so we can chat hopefully.

Thinking of buying these for track duty: DT-47847 | Konig Hypergram Matte Grey Wheel 18x9.5 5x114.3 35mm Has anyone tried these? Will the 9.5 wide rims fit a P3d with Eibach Pro Kit springs? Thanks guys. Gabo

:(

I ended up going to the supercharger, that ended up being the best solution. I'm going again in December with another Tesla owner in his long range dual motor. Come along.

Hi, yes, there is 240v in the parking spaces between the garages. Garages only have 110v

Hi all. l am looking for good track wheel recommendations. I am looking at going with 18X9.5 rims. I heard these are the best for track duty. As far as tires, I’m looking for R compound tires. Any recommendation would be appreciated. I like the Martian rims. They are $500 a piece...

Hi guys. Hopefully someone can help me out here quick. I am planning on a track day with Speed Ventures at the California Speedway on August 15th. They are almost full and all garage spaces have been taken. I also called Speed Ventures and they did not have an answer for me. I understand...

Thanks. Didn't even think of that. LInk to video here: As you can see, the lighting of the sun reflecting off the freeway, the lack of markings and the cutout of the concrete on the freeway led to the perfect storm.

Ok, have the video, but can't load .mov, .mp3, or .mpr videos. What format am I supposed to use?

Yes, I downloaded video a few minutes after the incident (after I remembered that my car had that feature). I'll look for it tonight and loaded on here.

Hi guys. There is construction on the I5 in Burbank and today before the Verdugo off-ramp heading southbound my car jumped a lane without warning while on Autopilot (from the fast lane to the lane on the right). I believe the position of the sunlight reflecting off of the road in conjunction...

That's a model S, not 3.

I just ordered the pinstripe tape. I will install and report back here soon.

Sorry, meant trunk mat, not truck mat

So, I want to buy a trunk mat, but none of the ones I've seen have a cut-out, or access to the lower part of the trunk. I think this would be a great idea, but I have not found something like this. Has anyone here seen anything similar? Thanks.

FYI: according to the manager of the body shop I just got my Tesla out of (Tesla certified shop in Van Nuys, CA), Geico is among one of the worst insurance companies to deal with. Another on his list is Liberty Mutual. He said Wawanesa was good though - I have Wawanesa :)

Remember that the want is totally subjective. What the OP may want, may be way out of range for you, but totally within for him. Diversity is what makes this world interesting. I fear he will end up taking a huge financial loss and acquire the P3D. I understand him because I waited out for...

I was on the same boat as you before I bought a Tesla. What I ended up doing was waiting a year and then bought the P3D. Since you already bought the AWD model, sit down and to a thorough financial analysis to see what the true cost of trading up will be - this should include tax credits...

I just got a quote from Tesla and I’ll be saving $38 per month for the same coverage. I am currently paying $200 per month with Wawanesa. Tesla’s quote came in at $162 per month. If I opt for a $1,000 deductible, my monthly rate will go down to $150 per month. Anything I should know before...

Leather floors mats do not sound like a good idea. Leather requires maintenance and care. In addition, it can't get wet, otherwise it stains, etc. Floor mats should all be either, rubber, synthetic materials, cork, etc. Leather just sounds like strange marketing to me.

The difference is slightly noticeable. Some guy on youtube has a video up with instruments showing the difference. Now I notice more noise coming from the roof area - possibly the gap in the windshield and roof glass. This will be my next project.

I did the door seals myself last weekend. The whole process took around 45 minutes. Bring all the stuff to Granada Hills and I'll do it all for free. I have garage.

Thanks guys. Yes, I will rent a $30 a day car, maybe upgrade one level so I can have comfortable power seats, then have the other insurance cover the difference.

I tend to have a more optimistic outlook than yourself. A guy not paying attention and backing into my car is not bad luck, just a guy not paying attention - I guess the definition of luck is subjective. They already agree to reimburse me for gas, so not sure why you are so sure they wont...

Yeah, I'll probably get a Nissan Altima and call it a day.

Hi guys. Gabriel here from California. I got rear-ended three weeks after getting my Model 3 - guy backing out of a parking spot not paying attention. The quarter panel was dented and now needs replacement which requires a month to a month and a half at the body shop. Good news is that parts...

Disagree here as I believe there is mention that the inverter is capable of processing much more electricity on the P3D - inverter is hardware.

I had the same issue on my P3D upon pickup. It's a real easy fix really. I just took my know and applied pressure at the top of the bumper. Bumper snapped into place and issue was solved.

Good suggestion; I'll try a blowdryer to see if I can get more of the adhesive removed.

Wait... so your Golf R has something similar to Autopilot? If so, how does it work. It probably is not as complete as Autopilot, correct? I had a Prius Prime for a short stint before I bought my Tesla and that car autobraked and maintained autocorrected for lane departure, but that's all. I...

I did not notice any AP changes. Which changes were you able to identify? I did play Beach Buggy 2 last night - it's fun.

Yes, I got mine too YEY!

So I tried the tried and true method using alcohol to weaken the label adhesive as I've done with other vehicles. It did not turn out as expected - see attached pics. Anyone have any ideas on this? If no solutions are found, I'll have to buy some sticker to cover up the area, or just buy...

Hi all. I need your help. I picked up my P3D in June for my birthday and my fiance with her dual motor has had two software updates since then. I took it in to Tesla service for erratic navigation positioning and mentioned my car may need a software updated. They researched and mentioned...

Hi all. I am planning on tracking my P3D at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana on Sunday, August 18, 2019 through Speed Ventures (speedventures.com) and would love some company. I've tracked cars there before, so I am not a newbie. It's a great track and I heard they even have 240v chargers...

I understand they are going through growing pains, but their current lack of attention worries me. I won't even go into my fiance's experience here. But, 2/2 is not a good record. What saves them is their wonderful car. Otherwise, I would have already looked elsewhere.

The sales contract stated - "DEMO CAR". I mentioned this on my original post.

yeah, same price. I thought that was a low blow. At quarter-end push, one must be extra careful as a buyer.

I originally sent back an email asking what the discounted price would be, since one was not stipulated on the contract. After thinking about it, I decided I only want a new car. The P3D is expensive and I want to at least enjoy it for a few months as a brand new car.

no, they were asking full price. I asked them to only source a new car for me.

I am in the process of acquiring a P3D. I received the documentation yesterday via email and a "Demo" car was listed on the contract. I immediately contacted my deliver person and asked why this happened. She mentioned that the system automatically matched me up with the car. Luckily I read...

Hi All. I hope the below information may help someone here. I've been receiving quotes from various insurance companies like: Liberty Mututal, Geigo, Esurance, Mercury among others. Thus far, the lowest price was quoted to me by Wawanesa. I'll be signing up with them. They are based in San...

Hey, where do you guys go for alignments, tire rotations and balancing? I took my current car to the America's Tire Store on Balboa, near Devonshire and they managed to scratch all four of my rims near where the screws to through the rim to attach to the suspension components. My fiance's...

Noho in the house! Love NoHo too. Drive through to get to Tesla store at the Americana. Will also be driving by when I pick my car Noho in the house! I'll be driving through Noho again at the end of June when I pickup my car.

Hi there. I had a friend that just moved out or Arleta into Northridge. Before he moved, I'd be in Arleta often.

Hi there. I moved to Granada Hills from Porter Ranch. Love Porter Ranch. My best friend still lives there so I.m frequent there. I was just there this past weekend.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. Glad to see all the Valley represented folks here. We should plan a meet up some time in July.

Hi all. Just ordered a P3D yesterday. Midnight blue metallic with white interior. Any members in the San Fernando Valley in SoCal? Looking for other members nearby to chat with. I will be receiving my car on June 28 as I’ll be on a vacation before then. I test drive the P3D again...
