Yeah it’s a shame that such a nice color is stuck on the model Y variant sold only in a couple countries

Is he someone I should even give a f about lol
So the usual suspects are there to tell us this is the “best Tesla ever….”
Just release it, you don’t need anymore Promo like it’s WWE, there is no competition.

Not good when a 2023 BMW M3 is 2.8.
I'm sure Matt Watson is floating around somewhere.

If this has the suspension that rumors says it has how much does that cost to replace compared to the last model 3 performance suspension

Thats why I’m very curious how pricing will go. If they can sell it at 63k and still come in under the m3 price wise but barely slower it’s a decent buy
Also might have more potential with a lighter wheel/tire setup and battery heating. The old 3P can do 2.9s with rollout on 18s so maybe there's potential for enthusiasts to run 2.7x to 60.

BMW M3 Competition xDrive with launch control engaged and the boost holding above 15.0 psi, with one foot rollout subtracted, priced at $85k*
Wait until you find out what it takes to run a "1.99" in a Plaid.
Already been confirmed that the suspension has all the same hardpoints on a Legacy 3 and a Highland 3. Very, very unlikely the M3P Highland carries anything but different shocks and springs, and reactive shocks aren't anything fancy nowadays. They've been around for two decades. Maybe $100 more per corner.
The suspension on a Model 3 is surprisingly good from a design standpoint, with multi-link in the front and rear.
One day FSD might make a pass for you and cut a perfect light. No driver on board.

Good, I like low cost parts for maintenance, was worried it would be some special suspension like air that costs 5k+ to replace
All FSD has to do is drive to a prepped drag strip covered in VHT, let the battery heat up, pre-load the suspension in Cheetah mode, and then yeah, it could probably run a 1.98 with 1 foot rollout instead of 1.99 since it weighs 180 lbs less.
Doesn't need the timing lights though since 0-60 has nothing to do with reaction time.
Wait until you have to buy brake pads for an M3P which shares calipers with nothing.
Yeah traction makes a big difference with that power. I drove an S P100D and did a full tilt launch and that would be ideal for the new 3L.
