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...

There is no way that you can do 2 hot laps without overheat on the Ring. I have all possible cooling except water on radiators. 3 extra large radiators for front and back with high current fans and direct frontal airflow. My oil temps are fine, battery is fine. It still pulls power back at...

I had no issues with MPP FUCA, camber, toe arms and KW dampers. I cleaned threads when I adjusted them. Rear camber is less of an issue, -2.0 works fine for street and track. Unless UP have changed nuts and bolts on their FUCA since 2021, I can't recommend it.

I'm keeping -1.5F, -2.0R. Optimal would be OEM specs. That one is a compromise for spirited driving. UP FUCA eventually got bolts completely fused, so I can't adjust it anymore. I also don't use quick swap feature, since I'm lazy to do it, it gets stuck easy and you have to fix toe there and...

I hope so

I dont play short term. Long term it's still safely 10x.

I need tesla shares to go lower, before I buy some more. No need for a good news. Please more bad news for people with short attention span.

That very much depends on how it's implemented. Bosch system is not great - feeling is weird. On the street I prefer one pedal. On the track I prefer to not overheat battery with regen at all. Better abs is always welcome, though.

Thanks. Probably added ESP® hev so it can use regen only through brake pedal application until it runs out of regen capacity and only then use mechanical braking. None of that is damper, though. Or it just might mean that esp doesn't control dampers. So, I don't know, but sounds interesting...

@eivissa where is this info about damperless esp is from? On the scheme you only have standard brake system parts.

Could be just removed dampers for the module mount. Or could be an abs pump without pressure damper. I think that I had that on Evo X - it doesn't pulse abs, it's just quickly finds the edge of traction loss and stays there. Basically it's a much faster direct pressure pump that maintains...

If you make it too stiff - it starts bouncing on tires, but frequency is much higher. Nausea is usually from medium springs on soft dampers.

If it's bouncing - it means dampers are not slowing springs enough (not stiff enough). Harder springs will make that effect worse with higher frequency, bur lower amplitude of bouncing.

If you did wheel alignment once - they should give you a paper and caster is there

My toaster has a digital seconds countdown timer for a reason.

How much is the difference? I have a 1.5 degree caster difference left to right due to bad manufacturing. I fixed it by UP FUCA, but it generally means car frame is somewhat crooked and mounting points are shifted. Without caster adjustable FUCA you cant do much - half degree only by shifting...

I adjust my forecast to 2.9 Insane mode and 2.6 Ludicrous mode. Still 10.5 1/4.

Today model 3 page changed a design in how it shows specs for options. Specs are more visible now, price is less of the focus. Anyday now, i guess

No point. You have 0 interest to understand whats written. You win and its off topic.

I dont have power drop curve after peak anyway. Its a model of ideal motor that keeps constant torque and then constant power after that. Its not meant to simulate m3p. Its only meant to show that battery is not that much of the culprit.

Thats completely irrelevant - certainly every specific tire has optimal load and adding more load moves it out of optimal load and traction starts to decrease vs load. But heavy car can have tires under optimal load and have the same deceleration as lighter car under optimal load with different...

I dont know how to say it more clearly. If you have 2 light cars connected together - they act as one 2x heavier car that stops the same as a light car. And you don't need 2x more wheels to do it. Now if you compare loaded and unloaded truck - yes, they are different, because it's the same tire...

I specifically said that my model is torque limited by the grip. Battery is not limiting torque, it's limiting power. M3P is lower acceleration than 1.0g for 0-60 and it's dropping power way below battery limit after 45. The purpose of this model is to show that battery is not the limit of...

That's not how pressure is calculated. And it's not how tire contact patch works. Also, not how coefficient works. Lighter doesn't stop better not in theory, not in practice. Lighter turns and rotates faster. Lighter gains speed faster. Lighter is good. But stops the same. Heavier cars have...

Plaid brakes were really bad. They stopped the car, but feeling was bad, overheat is bad. Later they improved. Enough? Idk. But my claim is - when brakes work well you dont have 0-60 better than 60-0 ever. I can't prove something that doesnt exist. It's a made up myth about heavy cars taking...

Motors are creating mechanical power from electricity and you get much less power from the M3P battery than it can provide.

Chill Mode also keeps battery intact and works predictably bad at any soc or temp.

Wonderful fun police.

Touching power limiter at a single point in time is not what makes 0-60 or 1/4. With motors and ECU program change you can get way more power around that single peak power point. Just look at the chart of how much space from the power limiter available everywhere except a single dot.

Empirical data without understanding of the mechanism behind is alchemy. M3 doesnt take all that the battery can provide. M3P motors different from LR only in hardware torque limit Of invertor - that only matters until the peak power speed. And certainly when you riding on a direct voltage...

I made a whole post with calculations to answer this question on how you can do it with battery limit. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/8189048/ Battery voltage influences the power, but not as much as torque limiter and motors back emf from speed.

Maybe its a later version with better pads and fixed abs program. Anyway, they still feel terrible and overheat easily. Weight doesn't influence braking distance as long as brakes and tires are not overheating. Also, better brakes dont stop car any faster than any other functional brakes...

Thats not sport. We're in the thread of semi-educated guessing game. Once its out and full tested this fun thread would be dead.

Battery is not the major limitation. You can drop a full second in 0-60 on the same battery.

Weight doesn't influence braking distance if brakes are not overheating in a single stop. Only pavement, tires and abs system defines the minimum stopping distance. Wrong suspension geometry can make things worse, but it's a rare thing.

We know advertised power limit and voltage. We dont know for sure power curve before and after maximum power speed. We.can guess that the front motor would be similar to m3p, but even that is not certain, since you can drive the same motor differently. Power before and after will be lower than...
