2021 Model 3 Performance - stock Uberturbine wheels with red tesla logo sticker.

My red M3P is all stock, built by Tesla in March, 2021. I did put on red Tesla logo stickers on the center of the wheels from a vendor on Amazon. I get asked at Superchargers by fellow Tesla owners: "I like your wheels, what are they?" I tell them they are the stock Tesla wheels on the...

Recent cars I have owned are manual bmw and audi cars including a manual transmission. Great cars but my 2021 M3P is a total blast to drive. As a daily driver rocketing around town - total fun. Sound system is excellent. I find the suspension and steering feel surprisingly good. Is it fun...

On Amazon search Tesla Logo Sticker and find Custom Cut Graphics. Cheers, Snade

Great report. Thanks for posting. I have the same car. You ordered the right M3P colors and kept the right wheels. Cheers, Snade

Agree totally. The minimalist dash and the elegance of the wood trim matches with the glass roof and large screen to create a unique and futuristic interior space. I find the smooth lines of the exterior also to be a rejection of the "aggressive" look of so many cars with all these hard angles...

On Amazon, search Tesla logo stickers and find Custom Cut Graphics.

I agree - same with my experience with two months of ownership. I had low expectations regarding the steering feel based on online buzz, but I get some road feel from the steering wheel. Do you feel that? And last week I had a loaner from Tesla for a day with a Model S that was about four...

Right, I would need beefier tires to protect from potholes if I lived in my hometown of Chicago. Here in Florida, the stock setup on the M3P works fine and I like the look of the 20" Uberturbine wheels and low-profile tires. I disagree the setup on the stock 2021 M3P is soft. Cheers, Snade

Thanks. That's a lot of change for a tenth. One more thing. I've posted some photos of my M3P on the forums and several people have asked me "what after-market wheels are you running - they look great - where did you get them." I tell them - the stock Tesla wheels (Uberturbine) on the...

Just my two cents on the current M3P wheels and tire setup. I've been zipping around Palm Beach County, Florida on a 2021 M3P for about two months. I come from a 2015 BMW M235i with performance Michelin tires. I find the ride of the M3P with the stock PZero / Uberturbine setup to be about...

Congrats, beautiful car and photo. I'm also obsessed with the de-cluttered look of my M3P interior. My wife has an A4 and the interior now looks so complex to my eye. I think the minimalist interior of the Tesla Model 3 matches with the quietness and super quickness of the car that always...

RE: Minor Tweeks to new M3P Interior I thought the console needed something, so when I ordered some red logo stickers for the wheel caps on my newish M3P, I also got some black stickers and put one on the console. The vendor on Amazon was Custom Cut Graphics. I used Watco Danish Oil (Medium...

Model 3 Performance built by Tesla in March, 2021. All stock, added a few tesla logo stickers to wheel caps and interior center console. I applied some danish oil to the wood trim in the interior (looked a little dry upon delivery). Love the wood with the minimalist interior Cheers, Snade.

Same with me here in Florida. No issues with the PZeros. Grip feels excellent. Very few pot holes here in Palm Beach County so low profile not an issue. Expect to keep these tires to about 15k miles. I really like the firm but not too firm feel of the suspension and tire setup. I come...

I've had my M3P for about six weeks - red / black. Love the car. I wasn't sure about the wood trim on the dash, but I like it more and more as I own and drive the car. You need the contrast of the wood with the black interior. I find the carbon fiber replacements lack the contrast and cool...

Congrats. I picked up the same red / black M3P last month. I still sometimes take it for a drive just for the fun of it. I find the red a beautiful dark red in moderate light conditions. Enjoy your cool car. Snade

I have the same red / black m3p that was delivered last month. You will love it. The car is a red rocket. The smaller model 3 platform combined with the dual motor and the performance setup - the car is just super quick in every situation. Cheers, Snade

I'm just curious. Current Porsche interiors feature wood and I've always thought these are some the best looking interiors offered on a modern car. Do you find this wood fugly?

I find the minimalist black interior of the M3P to be way more visually boring with the wood swapped out for carbon fiber or aluminum. The interior needs the wood. And the wood carry-over to the doors in the latest version is better. My two cents. My wife and friends that have recently seen...

Hi Tim, Thanks for sharing, that is interesting. Like you, I feel good about getting my M3P at the lower price last month. I really like the visual look of carrying-over the wood trim to the doors. I like the wood trim with black interiors and the carry-over to the doors gives it a more...

Thanks for the heads-up, my VIN is 9146XX, so fairly close. Look forward to your update. Snade

Wow, congrats. My experience was similar. I order my M3P about March 9 and the Tesla advisor said my order might get into the March production and you have your car in two weeks, or it could be a wait until June. I took delivery about two and a half weeks later. I feel very fortunate. The...

It's about two weeks old and a total blast to drive. This is near my home in Palm Beach County, Florida. Cheers, Snade

Rule #1 for internet car forums - never admit to going to a car wash. On any car forum today if you make major performance modifications, lower the suspension, replace the sound system, tint everything at 5 percent, debadge and dechrome everything and wrap your car to be gold ...... you will...

You got the right colors (mine the same). Many congrats. My delivery was a bit weird. I noticed when I arrived several people walking around the parking area and that area was pretty full of old and new Tesla cars. I notice one tall guy walking around the lot looking frustrated. He was well...

One week old M3P in my neighborhood in Florida.

Hey Guys, Great to see the photos of the new deliveries. I know internet forums like this are heavily weighted with members who like to mod their cars. But just for the record, I'm not doing a thing to my new M3P - possibly tint, but the Tesla glass has good UV protection. I don't like the...

Came from a 2015 BMW M235i MT - a car with one of the best RWD drivers-car experience. Just a nice, balanced package, great sounding engine and the best manual transmission car I have owned. It was my daily driver, and a fun car. I liked the smallness and everything about the setup. Now I...

I bought the Tesla wall charger and a local electrician charged me $350 to install. My electrical panel is in the garage so it was a relatively easy setup. The Tesla wall charger is not a supercharger but it charges up to 48 amps and that is pretty fast. My M3P is my daily driver but I'm...

I thought the same thing. I took my neighbors (early 70's) for a ride today and found a safe, isolated road and floored it. They said it felt like being on a high-speed train in Europe - totally quiet, smooth and throws you back in your chair. They both laughed and said they felt the g-forces.

That's funny, my wife was driving the M3P for the first time yesterday and I was in the passenger seat and I asked - "did we leave a window open". By the way, I have found this thread very very helpful. I am fortunate to live a 30 minute drive from a Tesla service center, so I will take a...

Picked up the red M3P last Wednesday and electrician installed the Tesla charger yesterday on the garage wall (Florida thing - breaker panel normally on garage wall). Some quick notes after two days of ownership: 1. Car is a f_cking rocket and a blast to drive. I'm an older driver (60s)who...

Just picked it up. My driveway in Palm Beach County, Florida. This car is a rocket. Cheers. Snade

Hey Guys, I know some of you have waited a long time for your car. But having spent the last few hours just zipping around Palm Beach County in my new M3P, I have to tell you - this thing is a f_cking rocket. The sound system is a blast. The instant torque is off the charts. Just totally...

Just picked up my M3P at the Tesla facility in West Palm Beach, Florida. The car is a total thrill - smooth, quiet and super quick. I would grade the Tesla service quality for the delivery a C minus. Some of the processes they automate (partly for Covid) are impressive, but the car was not...

You are making me feel good about my decision. The M3P will be my daily driver here in Florida. I'm selling a bmw that is amazing in the corners and has great feel. But the roads in Florida are flat and straight. I don't track my car. So I seldom felt I used the full potential of the bmw...

Thanks for sharing - good points. The impact of mods on resale and reliability is seldom discussed on car forums - guys mostly praise and encourage the most aggressive mods. I'm currently selling my 2015 m235i bmw and the fact that is all stock and low mileage and no accidents is helping me a...

My wife has a 2017 Audi A4 (FWD) and the torque steering in some driving situations is noticeable, although the suspension and other things about that car are terrific. I also did not notice torque steer during my short Tesla test drive, but I'm hoping the M3P I pick up later this week does not...

Wow! Many congrats. I pick up the same red / black setup next week. Your car looks amazing. I like how the black or dark grayish colors of the wheels, interior and spoiler set off the red. Very cool. Cheers, Snade Florida

My red / black M3P is scheduled to arrive tomorrow at West Palm Beach (about 20 minute drive south of me). My SA told me it was built on March 14th and has two miles on it. My pickup date is March 24th. I am pretty excited. I'm actively posting my 2015 BMW M235i w MT to online forums for...

Ok, don't hate me - not my fault. :) I ordered a M3P ten days ago and recently got a vin and appointment to pickup next week. I am in south Florida. When I ordered it, the advisor said there is a chance you get into the March production / delivery, but more likely June. I will believe it...

I put an order in for a M3P only one week ago (March 7), but yesterday I saw a M3P with exactly my spec pop-up in the inventory in Florida on the Tesla web site (I'm in Palm Beach County, Florida). I went to the Tesla store near me and asked if they could attach that VIN to my order. At first...

You can beat that Vette. :) Great looking 3 ! Snade

That is funny. I ordered a red M3P three days ago and the estimated wait was 2 to 14 weeks. Based on this thread, I'm not putting my bmw on the market until I see the tesla in my garage. :) Cheers, Snade

Thanks. I plan to be patient and wait for my M3P. It's a better fit for my needs - fun car to zip around Palm Beach County. The Y is about the coolest and fastest SUV, but it is an SUV and I don't have kids and don't really need the extra room. The smaller and lower profile is one of the...

Good idea. Thank you. My SC is only a ten minute drive from my house. One other question, there are a few MYP in inventory near me, does the MYP sit higher than the M3P? One of the many things that impressed me about M3P during the test drive was how the car cornered - felt as good or better...

I saw that early this morning, but it's gone. I have a recent M3P on order for June delivery. If I see a M3P added to inventory in Florida, do I contact my SA to go for it, or reserve it online and then change the paperwork? Thanks. Snade Jupiter, FL

(note: few acronyms used here) Hey Guys, Just ordered a Model 3 Performance in red with black interior. The test drive was amazing. I instantly liked the feel and power of the car. I thought I might miss the sound of the engine, but during the test drive, it was not a big deal. Delivery is...
