    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    May 23 - June 20 Anytime someone posts an earlier eta I’m so happy for them.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    +10 points for info on efficient tires. -2 pts for the red accented T on the side camera. What controlled loop is this you're driving on? 😂

    What's your secret? Are you Elon's cousin or something.

    Collision damage M3

    Nothing to be alarmed over. That's just the initial estimate that they have to create. You choose a shop of your choice and they will work with the insurance on how much it will actually cost. Bummer but cars can be fixed/replaced and you're ok.

    Nope, that’s wishful thinking. Just like me thinking I’ll magically get a vin if I keep refreshing.

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

    The website says the 0-60 includes rollout. But maybe real world performance is better than advertised and Cammisa averaged 2.9 without? Doesn’t dragy give you both times with and without. I don’t know.. seems likely for Tesla to advertise their best number and for the performance improvements...

    Help me decide Model 3P or Model YP

    There may be a few similarities but no one is mistaking any model 3 for a Porsche.

    Daily Driver - Model 3 LR vs P?

    With zero additional info about you or what your goals are…get the LR so I can be one spot closer for the P. If you don’t care that much about performance and driving dynamics, the LR would be fine. If you qualify for the tax credit the P makes more sense. I mean an ‘08 corolla could do the...

    Is the Model 3 Prudish? 🤣

    Let’s be optimistic and hope they factored in the additional stress while they were retooling the suspension. We will probably see many posts from new EV owners asking why their tires are wearing away like they’re made of gummy bears.

    Yeah! Make these bandwagon LR to P orders go last. ;) Can't blame them considering how the pricing is set up currently.

    Well now we have to discuss how many cracks the chassis can handle.

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

    I agree, the performance improvements are more significant than people seem to realize. Cammisa gave a glowing review of the car, but I don’t think he guaranteed anything.. Maybe they’re using a 2 foot rollout for the UK numbers. Those pesky unit conversions.

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Good to know. This is in line with everything else I’ve seen about these batteries. Heck my iPhone caps the charging at 80% to prolong battery health. Maybe he’s the foremost battery expert but only quack doctors refer to themselves using their first name. Dr. Phil etc. Haha This is now my...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I wonder if there is a limit to the number of times you can update the design? I had one color change already and the site says no edits are allowed. Could always contact Tesla for any updates desired but just curious. Maybe this option goes away after a certain period of time.

    Whoa are you trying to fight? Asking “does this make sense now?” implies you had to “break it down” because he lacks the mental acuity to comprehend an already simple concept. The best resolution is through physical violence. Maybe tmc will sponsor a cage match. Hokie vs mpgxasdf! More on...

    Ah no just keep the inserts in. Plugs would be unsightly. Like those front bumper plugs but there's like 100 of them on each wheel.

    What is the oldest M3P that comes with AMD, heatpump, Boombox?

    You're likely looking for a late '21 model. Unless you snag an incredible deal, it makes more sense to hold onto your current car and pick up a highland when the time is right for you.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Dude that's enough lol. Just get a truck. One of the more accurate statements ever made on tmc. I ordered early and made a change in color but mine also went from May-June to June. ETA is all we have to talk about.

    Should I pull the trigger?

    In my opinion the new one is significantly better, but the responsible thing to do is to keep that junker. If you have the atom processor it will be an even better upgrade.

    Could be a bonus feature. The lift provides a lil bit of extra downforce. 💪

    Discussion: All Season Vs Summer Tires

    See now that the car has been released it's onto squabbling about tires lmao. Also if everyone's estimated delivery is May-June that means either not many people ordered or the actual delivery times will be much later. 😅

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

    Well now we have another precedent. Call it the poor man’s plaid badge if you want lol. Looks fine to me. So the next thing to agonize over. May-June delivery means last week of June right? Time to head to the delivery thread.

    Didn't watch. I only get my EV motor updates from eivissa tweets. :) Ok question for anyone who opted to finance through Tesla: Does the process allow you to apply the 7500 credit at POS through the app? Apply as downpayment? Curious to know the above if I decide to buy the car and opt to...

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

    I mean it has basically been launched, released, and is roaming free in the wild. Unlike a poo that's turtling, this one has already been shat and is laying fossilizing on someone's front lawn. Just waiting on the lab analysis to report some performance and cost numbers.

    Nice. So it sucks in farts and disperses it everywhere.

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

    If the butt dyno says it’s pretty much the same as the old m3p that would be disappointing. Otherwise I think it’s a nice upgrade: Brakes improved. Updated and ventilated seats. Improved performance with the new motor. Highland facelift on the outside. Wheels look okay to me. No yoke...

    Cabin Air Filter Replacement Questions

    While the recommendation may be 2 years, I prefer to replace the cabin air filter more often.. sometimes every season. There are some factors that play into it: the conditions you’re driving in (desert, etc), if the filter gets moldy or smells, miles driven, and how often you use the air. If you...

    I just ordered one! Model 3 space balls plaid edition. Estimated delivery date: Oct - Nov of 2025. 1.98 0-60 with no rollout. I may just be daydreaming at this point..

    Hello friend. You use X and have a helicopter in your photo so you must be credible. Can you extrapolate some estimates based off of the stuff you guys have been discussing? I see a bunch of words and charts and I keep scrolling to the next post lol. 0-60? 1/4 mile? It feels like a slow Tuesday.

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

    I assume you mean in typical driving conditions, highway averages will affect range more. And not that a bunch of launches won't drain the battery.

    Torque, Horsepower, and speed, A technical discussion

    I think for those who have driven ICE performance vehicles, it is noticeable that the acceleration does not drop off the same way the M3 and many other EVs do. That was my first thought when I drove the M3P… after 75mph, I had to make sure the throttle was fully floored because it felt a bit...

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

    Today would be better for me but I can work with Thursday. If the car is released with these rumored specs, would you buy it? 2.9 0-60 with maybe a slight improvement on the top end. Plus all the other highland improvements. For me, it would depend on the price if the performance isn’t more...

    Thinking about trading my Model Y for a used Model 3

    I guess everyone is different because I'd say by the standard of most of our everyday devices, atom felt like molasses with loading apps. Driving related features were mostly smooth. Loading the dashcam took a while. Since these are basically computers on wheels, get one with ryzen if you can.
