    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    I can't believe the distinct lack of strip times in here for a car that has been out a month.

    Average output over time is the key. Nothing else really matters imo.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Had a Plaid on order for two years before Tesla cancelled them in our part of the world.....so M3P is the fastest thing you can get down under.....

    There are going to be a lot of fence sitters till we see some hard performance data - if its not in the 10.8X and 123+ bracket Im walking away.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    More than likely the lower power quote is there for regulatory reasons. I for one will be surprised if there is a performance difference.

    Modders better pray they don't have some kind of PID feedback loop to the controller......

    Here are some of the runs - results, and my thoughts.

    TPMS Nightmare MY19 M3P

    EXACTLY the same issue here. I even replaced the sensor just in case. Saw it once or twice at the beginning.......hasn't seen it since December now. If you EVER find solution then let me know!!!!

    Little video I made on the progress of all this so far......

    They look to be metal inserted into urethane.

    Fastest 1/4 mile tires for 18inch rimmed M3P

    Got them in. Wow, what a difference. Nose feels to lift 1/2 as much as before. Car stays more stable under launch conditions. SHOULD improve the 60 - time will tell!

    Installing the anti-lift kit today, will let you know how it goes!

    Yes you do - exactly what mine feels like!

    Did it actually achieve anything for you?
  21. Street_Tuna

    Fastest 1/4 mile tires for 18inch rimmed M3P

    Yes mines a 19 and lifts the snout a fair bit even though it has the proper P suspension which they diced on later models. I have been thinking about trying to measure a difference with the nose pinned down a bit more as they do on the S (albeit without air suspension in the 3)

    Fastest 1/4 mile tires for 18inch rimmed M3P

    Notably do any of you quick guys here experience a little torque steer and obvious nose lift in the first half of the track?

    Fastest 1/4 mile tires for 18inch rimmed M3P

    It was really quite stupid how much water they put down. It's a state of the art facility and they literall put so much water on it was running down the sides of each lane towards the start line. I am tipping this cost us a low 11.3
  24. Street_Tuna

    Fastest 1/4 mile tires for 18inch rimmed M3P

    Has to be the water box causing the slow 60 then. Everything else is on point. They put down that much water there is NO avoiding it.

    Just about puts a hole through the floor!

    Fastest 1/4 mile tires for 18inch rimmed M3P

    After putting some more thought into it there may be been some issue with the 45psi I was running allround in the tires (I spelt it right this time). What feedback do you guys have on pressures? Just a stock 300 treadwear 235/34/18

    Not sure if its the little bit of moisture slowing it down.......

    This is the track (in Australia) it's a proper US standard setup.

    Fastest 1/4 mile tires for 18inch rimmed M3P

    More information - Driver weight 150lb. Ambient temp - 77F About the only think I can put it down to is being unable to avoid the water box, even though we did a dry hop up to the line.

    No unfortunately on the data. However preconditioning reached its limit and deactivated. External temp was around 26 degrees celcius. Tyre pressures were 45psi

    Fastest 1/4 mile tires for 18inch rimmed M3P

    Ok went back to the track with the 18s on. 98% SOC and fully preconditioned. Best was 11.409 @ 118.83mph The 60 foot is holding the car back with a best of 1.809. How do we get this bad boy into the 1.7s!

    TPMS Nightmare MY19 M3P

    Everything is good with Service Mode and the receivers. Does anyone know how to do a reset using Service Mode and the gateway unlock?

    TPMS Nightmare MY19 M3P

    Update - I moved the position of the rims around and put the front left (which identified perfectly) on the left rear - and now the vehicle no longer sees it.

    TPMS Nightmare MY19 M3P

    Having changed out to 18 inch wheels and installing the correct TPMS sensors I cannot - no matter what I do - get the Left Rear to register when doing a TPMS Learn. I have even changed out the left rear TPMS to another new sensor.....mutliple relearns etc. It has been a month now. Is there...

    Cybertruck Power Units exposed

    Hey all. I am searching for pictures of the Cybertruck power units (both front and rear) taken from directly underneath the vehicle with the covers removed. If anyone can help me out Im happy to make it worth your while! Thanks in advance!

    The rims are just on 19lb and the tires 22lb. Yes mine are the old sensors that manually register.

    Fastest 1/4 mile tires for 18inch rimmed M3P

    Got the new skateboard wheels on! Just a question - How long does the TPMS registration for new sensors take? Drove a mile or so and still trying to learn. Got the right sensors for this MY19 so its not that.

    Turns out Continental Max Contact MC6 were the lightest out of the 10 or so different tires we weighed.

    Because we have the access, it would just provide some interesting data points.

    We are going to weigh a ton of different tires - will report back in here.

    Fastest 1/4 mile tires for 18inch rimmed M3P

    The wheels weigh 19lb each which seems equivalent to a Martian style 18, but are 8.5 inch with a +35mm offset. I have a friend in the tire biz that is trying to find the lightest 235/45/18 which he believes will be a Pirelli or a PS5. What kind of pressure do you run in them at the track for...

    Hey team! Been looking through the threads here to try and work out what the quickest 1/4 mile tyre is to run on an 18 inch equipped M3P.....without much luck.... Have just run 11.54 @ 116.2 on the stock 20s with the factory PS4s, and would like to try and shave an extra 1/10th if at all...
