    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    This is how much roll my Plaid with MPP solid bushings takes on 285 RE-71RS 200TW AutoX tires.

    Honestly looks super good. Mine is white with the tempest painted in gloss black. Looks mean, the stance looks really wide. Those pics were before my alignment update (more camber) and additional lowering in front.

    I listened to his driving comments and his comments made total sense vs my opinion of previous Model 3. Previous one needed square 265 or 275 to have enough front grip for any kind of track/AutoX driving. Suspension/weight is the same minus shocks on this one, so this remark with stay true

    There was other runs on dry pavement and it was the same 11.0@123 In perfect conditions, probably will do 10.8s (like on a strip)@124mph Kyle was saying car is under tired in the front which it has to be with only 235 like the old one there. Was also saying bushing were a little too soft for a...

    Your Z was probably an auto and stock suspension. Because I drove the top hot hatches from Europe/JP (Renault Megane 3 RS 275 CUP, Type R, 147 GTA etc ) for several years and were miles better than a Mini and a M7 Z is miles ahead in all departments including fun.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Not this much. It shows 1.2G acceleratuing and braking which is normal for a Plaid on good tires. In corners the sustained G's are 1.2G. The peaks at 1.6G are really short and not "real" load, just sustained for a few tenth during a quick change of direction

    Just for info, the Plaid turns extremely well and is in fact considerably faster than a Model 3 P even on tight AutoX. With my previous M3 with full coilvers, MPP suspensions, and 200TW I was 1.5s behind the GT3 in raw. With the Plaid we are trading blows and my Plaid is nearly stock, and...

    AutoX and Roadcourse Tesla Model S Plaid General Thread

    I was running MPP Page Mill disks in standard M3P sizes (355mm) + M3P calipers and Bonoss 15mm spacers on mine with Aero wheels for every day use absolutely no problem. No grinding necessary at all. I know that the MPP disks are slightly different than the standard ones (and way better heat...

    The brakes look exactly the same diameter, disk and caliper than previous gen. Just a pad change. Lots of 18's will fit, even the aero. I was able to fit 18's aero on MPP 355mm disks and P calipers with a 15mm spacer.

    Hi, Waiting on my ODB port for my 21 Plaid with 37,000 miles, so I cannot use scan my tesla for now... Was curious, did Tesla update the EPA range for all Plaids (21-24) to show less range or is it only showing on 24's. Asking because mine shows 291-294 miles of range @80%. Would be okay with...

    Bought a Plaid on my end... The specs seem too timid to my taste... Same brakes, same battery, likely same cooling. Going Plaid and suspension bit+wheels + big brakes seemed the best option for me. Don't see a lot of Plaid in AutoX and Time Trial, I like to be different ;)

    Once again, same brakes as previous M3P, which is not a good news... OEM brakes are cooked even before the battery overheats on the track... Hopefully this is just a drivetrain test car and brakes will be upgraded... Funny how everyone here is stuck on the motor specs and not things that...

    We clearly cannot have constant 400Nm torque with 159KW power cap as you said. Likely we will have 400 or 430Nm max torque at low rpm (below 3700rpm) and linear torque drop off to maintain 159KW all the way to 8000 or 10000rpm, (200Nm@7400 rpm for example). I would like something like that !
