Someone should send an IM (Instant Message) to Matt at CarWow or Marques Brownlee and ask them if they were simply not allowed to do/report any 0-60 or 1/4 mile runs. Or, perhaps they did 0-60 and 1/4 mile runs, but signed an NDA to withhold publishing anything until Tesla gives them a release?…

Dang, I go out for a nice leisurely dinner with the wife and this thread blows up with 5 additional pages of posts. Glad to see there are plenty of looney, obsessive folks on this forum, just like me! 🤪🤣 I see that @M3PDenver already answered @jjrandorin ’s question about the brakes. The only...

I’m definitely with you on that. I’ll take a significant bump in acceleration & sustained power, at the expense of range any day. Perhaps Tesla will offer this exact same thing one day, in the form of an acceleration (Ludicrous) boost!! 🤞

Patience, everyone. Good things come to those who wait… or so I’ve heard 🙃

Another price increase. Base price is now $54,990.

Sorry for the slight delay in responding. Man, this thread moves/adds fast! Yeah, I just noticed that Rokblokz has not updated/released their splash guards for 2024. It’s not clear if Tesla has made any changes to the push pin/clip locations in the wheel liners. As for a high quality and...

Yep, just like with my current M3P, the new one will get the full treatment (full PPF on the entire vehicle, tint on all windows & glass roof). Then, I’ll apply my own ceramic or graphene coating, and of course, the smaller profile splash guards by RokBlokz.

That’s certain a possibility, but I’m guessing 99% of potential buyers who are browsing Tesla’s website and considering a purchase, are either not fully aware of the impact on range that smaller tires make and/or simply don’t want to go through the hassle of switching tire sizes. I think it’s...

Agree with you. However, I guess there may be some federal credit eligible buyers who may still pick a LR over the Performance trim, if they value range the most. Base LR has 341 miles of range Performance has 296 So, a difference of 45 miles… on paper Base LR current costs $47,740 Performance...

Yep, morale at Tesla is perhaps at an all time low, including the assembly/production folks. Perhaps not the best time to be ordering a new Tesla. They appear to have a bunch of employees who in general have not been treated well and as a consequence are probably not very motivated. I...

Good question. I too would like to know why anyone would be motivated to make an advanced, full payment. While I have the funds to make full payment right now, I choose not to because: 1. My sales advisor told me there is no benefit in making full payment upfront, because it does not make your...

Could have sworn I saw a YouTube video/review, where someone pulled off the aero covers. I’ll have to look for it and repost here, if I can find it...

Looks like most were not paying attention in class… ;) I, on the other hand, took your advice and have been ignoring my EDD range. 😇 🤣 However, since there is a good chance I will be out of the country on vacation when my vehicle finally does arrive, I went to my local SC earlier this week to...

It’s probably a combination of factors. There’s no doubt location affects your delivery date. Being on the West coast close to the Fremont factory is certainly an advantage, compared to all the way across the country in Richmond VA where you and I are located. We both ordered about the same...

I hope so too. Would love to see a huge drop in demand (for the M3P), which would encourage Tesla to drop price and/or offer that awesome Quicksilver color to help boost interest/sales!

While I agree that the Ultra Red configuration will eventually get back down under the $55K EV credit limit, I don’t think it will happen anytime soon. Historically, spring & summer are when automobile sale volumes are at their highest… at least for most manufacturers. So, I think demand will...

Is Giga Texas now making MYP’s? I ask because for a while, I think only Fremont made MYP’s. Since MYP’s can now be ordered in Quicksilver, I assume Fremont now has the capability to paint in Quicksilver.

Dang it. Quicksilver is by far my preferred color. If there is a scenario where Quicksilver becomes available for the M3P before my current order (Ultra Red M3P) is delivered, I will have a real predicament on my hands: change the color to Quicksilver (and accept a significant jump in price)...

June 7 - June 30 for me. I leave for Brazil on June 22. Hope it’s ready for pick-up before then!! 🤞

Yeah, I really love the look and feel of my current vehicle with the MPP coilovers. I’ll definitely share/post my thoughts on the two suspensions, once I take delivery of (and hit the pavement on) the refresh M3P.

I have MPP Comfort Coilovers on my current vehicle, which has lowered it by about 1.5” compared to stock. However, I doubt I will put any type of aftermarket suspension on the refresh M3P when I receive it… mainly due to the new adaptive suspension and any unintended consequences that might...

Yep, white is the best color when you want to see all the fine details/body lines of the vehicle and get that contrast (pop). I was back-n-forth between white and Ultra Red. However, since my current M3P is white, I decided to go with Ultra Red to switch things up. Still love the contrast/pop...

Thanks. Yeah, that Schoolboy is a beast!!

Yeah, I was hoping the 20” forged wheels would not have those holes. I think there were some early photos posted, which showed the Warps wheels with no holes. I’ll have to reserve judgment on the Warp wheels with the supplied covers, until I actually receive my vehicle. But, my initial...

I think you completely misunderstood my post. Definitely was not meant as an insult of any sort. If it was interpreted that way, then my apologies to @mpgxsvcd. I probably should have worded my comment/question in a better way. Perhaps I should have worded it this way: “Does this explanation...

I’ve never heard of Jason Camissa, but hope he (and you) are correct about the 1/4 mile performance….

You may be correct. But, it appears 1/4 mile results are very important to many, including Tesla (if we believe all the comments in this thread). If so and since Tesla still has not revealed those numbers, then the cynical side of me thinks the actual results may be disappointing. I’m sure...

Of course, ride quality/comfort is subjective. However, for me, changing my suspension to MPP Comfort Coilovers made a noticeable difference in ride quality/comfort. This is even after lowering my vehicle by about 1.5” below stock. I have the dampers set to their “softest” setting. It...

I have a 2019 “stealth” M3P and while it has been (& still is) the best vehicle I have ever owned, I am just ready to start enjoying all the incremental changes/improvements that Tesla has added to the Model 3 since 2019. Yes, I can admit that I am just a little disappointed that the published...

The cynical side of me thinks Tesla has an extended embargo on early access reviewers reporting the new M3P’s 1/4 mile numbers/times because the results are not very impressive. Hope I’m wrong… Regardless of the 1/4 mile numbers/results, I was/am ready to purchase the new M3P. So, absolutely...

While the consumer side of me would love that (unlimited transfers), the more business minded/logical side thinks an unlimited software transfer would be entirely too much and arguably unreasonable to ask any manufacturer/developer. I think a 1-time transfer is a good compromise and would be...

Even if the monthly rate doubles, you still have the option to cancel the subscription and just buy FSD outright. In this very unlikely scenario (that the monthly rate would double), you would have wasted only a few hundred dollars… instead of $8000 on a full purchase. Relax and enjoy your...

It was overpriced at $5000 when I bought it on my original/current vehicle. Crazy to think folks were paying $15,000 for it not too long ago. Of course, I did not buy FSD on my new/recent M3P order. Agree with you that Tesla should at least allow a 1-time free transfer (that can be used at...

Definitely do not sweat it. I’m a nobody, but I can almost guarantee you that the subscription fee for FSD will NEVER go back up to $299/month. Those days are gone and never coming back. $299/month was a tough sell and Tesla finally realizes it. It’s going to stay at $99/month for quite a...

Sweet! The value of my launch day Ultra Red order/vehicle just went up by $8500!! ;) I’m sure my excitement will turn into anguish in 10-12 months, when Tesla does one of their infamous/predictable price adjustments and drops the M3P price by $4000 below the launch day price. 🙄

If you don’t mind waiting a little, it is almost certain that Tesla will bring back the 1-time free FSD transfer to any new vehicle purchase. I think they have already done this on two separate occasions, when sales have been a little slow. Not likely to happen in the immediate future, since...

Save that drink for my wife. She might need it when I tell her what I just did/ordered! :oops:

Life is short. So, I’m going for it!!!

My app shows May-June delivery, but we shall see…

Let’s gooooooooo!!!!!! EDD: May-June

Life is short. Order placed. Let the fun (waiting) begin!!!!

Perhaps for now, but who knows what the (near) future holds…

Damn, just another thing that could make me hold off buying the new M3L on launch date (i.e. holding out a few months in hopes Tesla will offer Quicksilver later this year)!! Thanks, a lot @12B4A :mad: ;)

Yeah, white is certainly the most common colour on this side of the pond, as well. Originally wanted the OG silver color, but that was discontinued when I purchased by M3P, so I went with white. I typically like lighter paint colors on my vehicles, because they allow you to see/appreciate all...

It will be mine! Only decision left to make is which color. Ultra Red or Pearl White…

I bet if you went on a diet and lost 40-50lbs, you could shave another 0.1 sec of your 0-60 time… 😉 🤣

Thanks for chiming in. Fortunately, cost is not a concern for me, nor is resale value on my existing M3P. So, will probably just leave the MPP coilovers on the existing vehicle when I get rid of it. I like tinkering with things, so that is why I had mentioned possibly removing the coilovers...

Completely agree about black not being a great color for this vehicle/trim. All the fine details/lines on the vehicle (like the front lip/diffuser, etc…) get lost with black. In general, this is true for vehicles with very dark paint colors… which is why I prefer and have a lighter color...

Thanks for the link to that Reddit post. Further down in that thread, the OP also uploaded this video of that sighting… Looking good! Regardless of the final performance numbers, I’m buying one of these as soon as it becomes available! It’s time to upgrade my 2019 M3P!!

Well, the dumpster fire as you’ve defined it, certainly has not hurt Tesla’s sales volumes as they continue to break records… as @Nightshade has eloquently pointed out in his above post. Despite Tesla’s best efforts to derail their own sales (like with their constant and very annoying price...
