Placed order which said May-Jun, right!! See you guys in 2025.

By the time we get our cars, FSD will be on V13.0.

 

[jmaddr]

Was hoping for more than 510hp. Well, as long as the motor holds torque above 60mph, I'll be happy.

I’ll buy one in December when it’s a 2025 model year and Tesla is giving incentives to move them before the end of the year.

Plus I’ll still get the tax credit before any mineral or sourcing requirements change for calendar year 2025 (not sure if that will affect the Panasonic batteries in this trim or not).

Plus that will be before any potential attempt at repealing the IRA starting Jan 2025.

I’m fine with my M3LR. More range, only slightly slower, better ride.

 

[BigNick]

I'll keep my current M3P. Just not "enough" to compel me to upgrade.

 

[Apprunner]

I’m fine with my M3LR. More range, only slightly slower, better ride.

A full second slower to 60 is not slightly slower...pretty noticeable and significant. I wonder if downgrading to smaller wheels gives comparable ride given the 2 different settings on the M3P

The actual range is likely very close. Only the listed range is different.

Are there any 1/4 mile numbers for it yet?

 

[TomServo]

Replace the lead weight 20s for from lighter 18s and you recover most of the lost range and the car is faster. That's what I did with our 2022 MYP. I replaced the 21s with some 18s from TSportLine. It's like a different car. I wonder what this means for the future Model Y?

And I noticed the 2.9 ZERO to SIXTY time is now WITHOUT the 1-ft rollout. That's HUGE. The old M3P with the 1-ft was probably closer to 3.2 or 3.3

No it’s with rollout for that numberhttps://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/attachments/1713892831761-png.1041008/

You would think the new rims are lighter than the old since they are Forged...
"Lightweight, staggered wheels provide sharper turn-in response, better traction in corner exit, and are optimized for range and comfort."

Didn't the old model 3 do 0-60 in 3.0s?

Am I the only one underwhelmed with the performance "increase"?

If you have a refresh M3LR…more money

IIRC, 3.5 later revised to 3.3 on my 2018.

Definitely need be crisper when you use words like "old".

Last advertised number was 3.1 with rollout.

 

[15mpg]

Last advertised number was 3.1 with rollout.

Motor Trend got 3.0 out of a stock car. Perhaps this one will run 2.7 or 2.8 when it comes to it.

 

[Jeremy3292]

Advertised 0-60 times:

Old M3P 3.1 seconds with rollout subtracted
New M3P 2.9 seconds with rollout subtracted
