    Changed Performance 20" Wheels and Tires to Titan T7 Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and not happy

    Will have that in mind next tire, went back and asked for Primacy Tour A/S since that had the same size 255 x 35 ... 235 to 255 is like 2 cm... 1 cm each side... it doesn't seem too bad I guess... the tire shop guy did run with a 245 and said there would be a 0.3" difference left out... for the...

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    My first Model 3 had the MXM4, terrible on wet. I had the 20" OEM Sports 4s AC... now with A/S 3+, I felt very loud, my own fault since I got a wider wheel... so from 235mm I am at 255mm wide now. I am considering changing to a lower noise tire like Primacy Tour A/S or Pirelli Cinturato P7 A/S...

    Changed Performance 20" Wheels and Tires to Titan T7 Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and not happy

    or should I go back to the OEM 20" Pilot Sport 4S, they also carry 255x35 19" .... most likely I can't return wheels, so I am stuck with this now... either Pilot Sport 4S or Primacy Tour A/S... but this Pilot Sport 4S is without AC (acoustic band).

    Tested: Do Acoustically Insulated Tires Really Hush Road Noise? – Feature – Car and Driver fyi, tests didn't show much difference acoustically, not sure in real life though.

    Changed Performance 20" Wheels and Tires to Titan T7 Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and not happy

    appreciate it... I was going with the 19" 8.5" but Joshua from Evasive recommended 9.5" ... then they didn't have stock I got the 9" ... I'm pissed now... wheel and tire installed.. and I am not even sure how to work this around... blame on me for not doing enough research... america tires said...

    Tesla Tires For Model 3 P3D ?

    I have new wheels Titan T7 TS-5 forged and tires A/S 3+ for 250 miles and am having issues with a humming noise around 79-86MPH, slower and faster than that no issues.. and not just humming noise but also a slight frequency vibration... can't explain in words but definitely different from the...

    Changed Performance 20" Wheels and Tires to Titan T7 Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and not happy

    Yea so I removed the 2 front ones and didn't feel much difference, those are original from Titan T7 so I don't think that's it.. but the 2 front ones seems a bit loose, the ones on the back are steady and firm and inside they have 2 rubber Orings that holds it... I don't think that's my case...

    Changed Performance 20" Wheels and Tires to Titan T7 Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and not happy

    So there is gap from the inside lug nut, the huge center one... and the outside hub center cap, sorry the confusion.. is that the issue? the front left one was little loose, I've added some plumber white tape and seems more fit.. but if the problem is that gap, how can I fix that? I could remove...

    Changed Performance 20" Wheels and Tires to Titan T7 Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and not happy

    I got the original hub centers with T7 logo as you can see, very nice aluminum made, $100 though.. so I don't think that's the issue, pretty sure something off with the tires. As for acceleration I don't want to assure since I just drove 200 miles now, but I can tell my experience checking...

    Changed Performance 20" Wheels and Tires to Titan T7 Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and not happy

    Hi to all performance owners, Been a while since my last post about P3D+ range... so my tires needed to be changed at 20k miles, decided to try to change wheel as well, went with Evasive Motorsports Titan T7 TS-5 for Tesla and Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires... Been having issues with loud humming...

    EAP to FSD - bite the bullet now or risk it?

    Ok today FSD went up to $5k. Definitely not taking this bite. I rather get a cyber truck

    Ok... what's MCU2 at $2.5k, never heard that for Model 3.

    EAP to FSD - bite the bullet now or risk it?

    Just got email and checked App, Upgrade FSD for $3,000 ... got EAP, just got new wheels and tires so my pocket's not really happy and now FSD at $3k is very very tempting.. FOMO at highest. We all agree FSD was a terrible name, we won't have it sorted out in 10 years due to more complexity...
  15. Dan_LA

    EAP to FSD upgrade price drop by $1k. Will be $3k until July 1st

    Yea, just ordered new wheels and tires yesterday so my pocket hurt, but $3,000 is always better than $4,000... for the sake of HW3 (the only value here) is it worth it? Not sure... maybe yes? Have 1 week to figure this out since I got new wheels and most likely will die with car.

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    My wife did drive, she has much lighter foot but also used to 80mph like any LA commuter. I tried myself 2 times driving like grandma, 65-70mph on the right side of road 2 times 100%-0% per Tesla, they were checking all those 2 times the battery. I. reseted the BMS during those times. I know...

    They will never pay for themselves haha... well maybe 10% better range means will pay off in 15-20 years... point here is just for range sake but yea, topic is tiring already... just checked Superchargers nearby, there are a lot more than 2 years... so range won't be an issue, maybe during...

    MY "real world range" article

    All good points, but the question is, we are paying for the advertised range, and not half it like my Performance Model 3: Performance not getting 310 miles promised Ok not half, but 55-65% of the EPA range... question is not if is practical, or if we can supercharge it etc etc.. question is I...

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    I feel you bro, and I have been driving like that, not checking miles driven since last charge. But at the end I didn't pay for that discrepancy of range, most likely this wont be an issue once range goes +400miles... same thing with iPhone 16gb and iOS taking 4-5gb out of it and you end up with...

    Although all good fellas I met here and live close by, I am not that close for that... but that's a great tip actually.

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    I get that, I was looking for way better grip vs the Aero 18" wheels, not sure which tires were there but they were horrible. How would PS4 compare to A/S 3+? Would I lose too much tire performance vs getting a better range. I am also considering T7 forged wheels to cut some centripetal force.

    Yep, when I created this post was around Winter in suburbs LA... which was terrible getting 100 miles driven and 20% left... summer got much better, Alan and very nice friends here helped at the time to narrow down my range at 220 miles.. which was fine, but I also met 2 people same car, living...

    I would agree if was my first Tesla. Before this one I upgraded from the Model 3 LR RWD (10k miles driven)... AKA range beast and I didn't know at the time that actual range could be 330miles that model... I liked the experience of driving the range as it is told on Screen... if said 240 miles...

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    You are getting 146 wh/mi ??? on a 19" A/S tires? I'm checking new wheels now... not sure 20" to 19" will increase more range... I know 30 lbs to 20lbs wheel will help a lot and tires to A/S ... would 20 to 19" increase a good % as well?
  29. Dan_LA

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    Thanks for doing the hard math. So everyone here is getting about 130 miles DRIVEN from 90% to 18% battery? Guess since my tires are out, will look into shedding some lbs on the wheels and getting the A/S michellin tires.
  30. Dan_LA

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    Yea, I might try the tires and wheels, most likely T7 and A/S Michelling tires, anyone that shed wheels from 30lbs to 20 lbs can shed some light on range improvement? To be honest, I am fine also with 19" wheels if range gets 5% better vs 20", not really into wheels look, I get that lowering...

    Dude I've been in a cave, what;s this OBD2 and SMT thing... I need something to tell me my battery is 75kwh... because I believe I got the only Model 3 Performance with 50 kwh battery. You are getting 302 range? I am getting 150 miles... same car!!

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    I honestly don't want to keep dragging this post, but today I decided to check on the infamous "miles since last charge"... which I try to avoid to not get mad... and it's just insane, how on earth I am getting 130miles with 18% left... at 337 wh/mi? Like, I am not even getting 150 miles... no...

    I am on the same boat with you, although having upgraded from a LR Model 3 to P3D+ (sorry, not good with those acronyms) ...

    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    Wondering if it’s worthy FSD for my M3P+ 2018. I got the EAP and wondering if should just close the deal before any increase in July. But also wondering if should wait for newer hardware out, instead of HW3. Appreciate other thoughts.

    Performance Range Now Listed as 322 Miles

    After almost 20k driven. I still can only get 210 miles real life driving not worrying about range. But I have the 20” wheels. also my battery doesnt charge 100% only 98% at 285 miles when full.

    Off the topic, but because it's related to range and Performance I have some thoughts regarding new launches from Tesla and after owning 2 cars so far (and losing some money): 1- For sure I can tell Tesla Supercharger is overlooked by the Market in general and to me was the #1 reason to choose...

    I drove Manual (or stick like Americans say it) until 28 yo, been in accident 3 times maybe, all fender benders and none I was the one causing it. I am very responsible to do 90MPH when there is nothing on the road, if there is I just go 5-10MPH above the flow... which ends up about 75-85MPH...

    Performance not getting 310 miles promised

    Nice!! Thanks for sharing.. so if we downgrade from 20” to 18” we do get much better range? As now, Tesla shows 299milss for 20” version and 322 miles for 18” ... but I didn’t like those 18” tires and wheels from the 1st Model 3 LR RWD, didn’t grip well.

    At the time I purchased December 2018c it was advertised as 310... same as LR RWD and no I wasn’t expecting same range as my 1st Model 3, but i was expecting at least 250 miles real world, not 200-220 miles and that considering I drive 70-75mph per my trip from LA to Monterey showed. Now i just...

    Yea just went to garage for this shot. That’s my mentality now, chill and drive like I would drive any gas, for instance my old Audi A6 2013 3.0 Turbo supercharged. But it does give a bitter taste on range. like today i drove almost 120miles in LA, doing errands and just chilled, went home...
