    FS: Uberturbines off a new 2021 MP3

    I've priced these extremely competitive already combined with being willing to ship which most won't.

    FS: Uberturbines off a new 2021 MP3

    So when I got my new M3P, I swapped out the 20" wheels and tires for a set of Martian 18". So I'm selling the Uberturbine wheels and Pirelli tires (no TPMS). Car had way less than 1,000 miles on when the swap occurred. It's actually been several weeks since the swap and current mileage (as...

    FS: 2021 M3P Uberturbines Wheels and Tires - New Takeoffs

    Due to increases in shipping costs, I'm cancelling this offer to include shipping in the price. I'm considering this thread CANCELLED and I will repost.

    FS: 2021 M3P Uberturbines Wheels and Tires - New Takeoffs

    Sorry for the delayed response. With the supply chain all jacked up it took forever to get my new wheels. I've been out of town a lot anyway, but still. Then, when they finally did arrive, I got covid. Wound up in the hospital and even when I got out, it's been a long recovery so I've...

    Possible to deactivate TACC and use "regular, dumb" cruise control? Phantom braking & unexpected slowdowns

    that's discouraging. My plan was to try and turn the "nannies" off and just see if it would work like normal cruise control, but I guess that's out too. :-(

    Unhappy with phantom braking

    Only thing I could do would be to drive the same route again and see if it re-occurs in the same places. I do know this, during one of the events, it braked so hard (NOT regenerative) that it scared the crud out of the person behind me and they were not even following close. I will keep an...

    Unhappy with phantom braking

    Gotcha. I was not going to rant to them, and agree that's good advice. I was going to talk about the camera issue and then "ask" if it maybe had something to do with the braking.

    Unhappy with phantom braking

    My car is a "Tesla Vision" car. No radar. The events happened on I-70. 3 lanes wide each direction and divided. Driving in middle lane. It occurred 4 times in an approximately 15 minute stretch in those conditions. (Then 2 other times spread out later.) Sunny day, slightly after 12:00...

    Unhappy with phantom braking

    Our Acura has adaptive cruise. In almost 40k miles, we have never had a single instance of “phantom braking”.

    Unhappy with phantom braking

    Doing some surfing through the posts here, it’s evident that it does happen. I can’t speak to the frequency others have experienced, only what I experienced. And I used the word “slammed” because it was the best descriptive word I could think of. How about “abrupt”? “Hard“? Doesn’t matter...

    Unhappy with phantom braking

    Moderator changed the title of my post. Is anyone “happy” with phantom braking? haha. Whatever. Guess you can’t be critical of these cars here. I really like the car, but nothing is perfect. And how will it ever approve if you can’t give input. I stand by my comment that there is no...

    Unhappy with phantom braking

    I only have a couple hundred miles on the car so far. Work from home and so far just some quick errands and have been REALLY enjoying the car. Wonderful "honeymoon". But today I took the car out on the highway and the honeymoon is OVER. What the heck is the deal with this car slamming on...

    MPP Comfort Coilover reviews?

    I installed the Adjustable Comfort Coil-overs last weekend on my new MP3. While I didn't have many miles on the new car (200 or so) it was enough to experience the harshness of the ride. Larger bumps definitely hit the stops (the pavement going to my house from the access road has a lot of...

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    I would like to be able to see pictures of the difference between the Gunmetal and the Satin Gunmetal. If you have pictures of either one, please post. The pictures on the website are difficult to make out the difference when there are no color references in the background (like on a car)...

    Are these Satin gunmetal or the glossy gunmetal?

    Autopilot draws first blood

    I understand that when regenerative braking is slowing you down quickly, that the brake lights come on, but it seems that they don't when slowing gradually like when you are feathering the juice pedal coming up to a stop light. That means one could go all the way to a complete stop without the...

    FS: 2021 M3P Uberturbines Wheels and Tires - New Takeoffs

    My M3P VIN is assigned and delivery date set for August 11th. My new wheels are ordered and expect them “around” the same time. New tires are already here. Will remove the 20” wheels / tires as soon as the new wheels arrive. I’m going to keep the TPMS sensors and transfer them to my new...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    So to give some further insight: I ordered 6/16 and got my VIN 7/26 - that day, my EDD was 8/5-8/11. Then it went to 8/4 - 8/11 then 8/3 - 8/11 and then 8/2 - 8/11. At that point, I got an email to set my delivery date. Only option was to set it for 8/11. Now it's 8/3 and just called my...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I ordered 6/16 and got my VIN 7/26. EDD now 8/5-8/11. Thought I’d share although it seems rather pointless. I have tracked through this process watching this thread and my own ever changing EDD and it doesn’t seem to make any rhyme or reason.

    Model 3 Tires, Tire Sizes, Types, make / model recommendations, tire discussions, etc

    My M3 Performance is on order and due to deliver in about a week. I've ordered Martian Wheels 18x8.5. Now trying to make a decision on tires. I've scoured the threads for information but not finding answers to my specific questions. (why isn't there a dedicated tire/wheel sub forum?)...

    For Sale: Complete set of 2021 Model 3 aero wheels with covers, 235/45/18 Michelin Primacy tires, and tpms sensors.

    As I understand it, these wheels will not work with a M3 Performance due to brake clearance. Is that correct?

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I called them before I placed my order. He said they have an order in production right now (depending on size) and they will be shipping soon. So when looking at their site and you see "in stock" well, get them. If it says "not available" then that is self-explanatory as well. But if you...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Order placed earlier in the week, and it says delivery in 1-11 weeks. That's quite the spread. Looking through these posts there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to delivery times. Is there any way to get a better idea of delivery time? It said that someone would be contacting me...

    M3P coming soon and wife wants a better ride. Will 19's make any difference or do I have to go with 18's?

    I have the A/S3+ on my C7 Z06. And I'm happy with them, so I know I will be happy with the new version. I'm set on using that tire. It's the rim height/width I've been agonizing over.

    M3P coming soon and wife wants a better ride. Will 19's make any difference or do I have to go with 18's?

    I keep doing lots of reading. There is no shortage of opinions. Haha. Now thinking Martian 18" MW03 wheels with the Pilot Sport AS 4 tires. I'm hoping that gets me a sweet spot of not losing too much acceleration for a better ride and can also carve a corner or two. Is there anyone...

    M3P coming soon and wife wants a better ride. Will 19's make any difference or do I have to go with 18's?

    That makes a lot of sense. Really appeals to my practical side. While the M3 is a very nice looking sedan, it's not like a work of art or anything. I'm used to the attention I've gotten in the various "toys" I've had over the years. One of the appeals to this car is that I can go have...

    M3P coming soon and wife wants a better ride. Will 19's make any difference or do I have to go with 18's?

    That’s what I was wondering. Need to keep looking I guess. I like that tire though. It’s what I’m running on my Corvette Z06 - they are a proven commodity to me.

    M3P coming soon and wife wants a better ride. Will 19's make any difference or do I have to go with 18's?

    Right now I‘m thinking these tires: PILOT SPORT ALL SEASON 4 - SIZE: 245/40ZR19 on Tsportline TST wheels. 19x8.5. Is this setup going to save any weight? Tire is 26 lbs, wheel is 29.55, so total is 55.55. That seems heavy. What’s the stock tire/wheel setup weigh?

    M3P coming soon and wife wants a better ride. Will 19's make any difference or do I have to go with 18's?

    Maybe the 19’s are the answer…. I don’t mind the stock ride myself, but need to be responsive to the wife. 19’s would mean I made an effort without having to live with the 18’s. I’d like to lower it, but I don’t think that’s in the finances at the moment, so 18’s without lowering would not...

    M3P coming soon and wife wants a better ride. Will 19's make any difference or do I have to go with 18's?

    dfwatt - so the size you like is the 265/45 19 - which is almost perfect height, but wider on the front and narrower on the back. Is this just the "happy medium" in order to get a squared fitment? Does the wider tire in front have any compromises? Mash - your car looks great with those...

    M3P coming soon and wife wants a better ride. Will 19's make any difference or do I have to go with 18's?

    As title says, as soon as my M3P arrives I'm selling the 20" wheels and tires for three reasons: 1) Need all season tires 2) Wife wants a better ride. 3) Want squared setup for rotation and tire warranty purposes. Really need help deciding what to do. I'm not a fan of the 18" look, but I...

    Picture of Model Y Performance with 20" Induction wheels.

    Just realized I failed to describe what I wanted to swap them out for.... duh. I'd like to see what the 20" Induction wheels that are an option on the Model Y LR look like on the Model Y Performance.

    Picture of Model Y Performance with 20" Induction wheels.

    I've got a Model Y Performance ordered and like many people, I don't want the 21" wheels with summer only tires. So I want to swap them out but would really like to see what they look like on Performance model. I'm curious about offset and the fact that the rear tire will be "slightly"...
