Doesn’t Tesla just change their cars 3-4 times a model year so you never really know what you are getting?

Yes. There are hardware changes all the time and they don't follow model years. Model years are an old construct that Tesla has been forced into.

Mercedes, in my experience, does the same, but less frequently.

Is Tesla ever going to refresh the model 3? The overall shape of the car is decent enough

I've never warmed up to the look of the 3. The S is not bad. But whenever I see a 3 on the road, depending on the angle to me it doesn't say car... it says conveyance, people mover, transportation pod, etc.

I actually don't mind the look from the rear 3/4. The front end has always looked unfinished. If they are fixed into the fish looking front for aerodynamic reasons, at least completely overhaul the headlights which can do wonders for other automakers mid model updates.

Bastarde!

Do any of you guys have a OBD2 adapter for model 3/y?

[benyl]

Yes, I have one for each car.

PM'd



Anyone interested in a group buy for some unplugged performance lips? Split shipping?

[heavyD]

What do you need OBD2 adapters for with these cars? Is there some coding you can do on the side like BimmerCode?

I just wanted to diagnose what abs sensor shit the bed. So I didn’t have to pay $200 in labour today… but there is an app called scanmytesla which gives you a bunch of info

Oh shit. Didn’t know you were out of warranty already. Would have made more of an effort to help.

I’ll have to look into if the obd reader even shows codes. Scan my Tesla doesn’t as far as I’m aware. But I haven’t used it in a year.

No, my dumbass lowered it. Two weeks after the install I started getting random loss of ABS, steering assist, autopilot, traction/stability etc. Pulled all the wheels off, checked all the sensors no signs of physical damage. So I took it in, I figured I stretched a sensor cable. I thought if I could at least figure out if it was front left or right I could just buy the sensor and fix it myself. But it wouldn't tell me what side. In the end both of them got replaced by tesla - abs cable stretched. lol $454 later. $240 in parts $90 diag (even though me and the car said ABS sensor) and $100 in labour

I'm going to have to order one of those splitters, but the few I've found have bad reviews or they send the car into a fritz.

No, I installed lowering springs and the cause of failure was due to lowered - well me busting the cables. I've installed probably near a hundred set of lowering kits and I've never fucked up an ABS sensor or dynamic suspension cable or anything like that. Bad luck I guess

I ordered mine here. I paid $40 for each of mine with $20 of shipping.

I can't remember if I called them as the "purchase online" redirects to their US site.

That one looks way better constructed than the amazon ones

What springs did you get and obligatory picture.

I am thinking of lowering and putting spacers in the spring

I put the “wrong” springs on. But they worked out perfect. I used the M3P Eibach springs not the ones for the LR AWD(which I have) 20mm bloxsport/bonoss spacers in the rear. Haven’t ordered the 15mm front yet




correct springs : Eibach e10-87-001-22
wrong ones I used (performance model) : Eibach e10-87-001-05-22 (also 04-22)

What's the difference? The 2021 M3P has no ride height difference unlike the earlier cars.

The performance springs have a rear rake to them apparently, I don't notice it on mine

performance spring drop 1" front 1.4" rear
AWD spring drop 0.9" front and 1" rear

I am researching my next car and since I have a 240V outlet in my garage I feel I at the very least need to investigate the Model 3 performance. However going to the forums left me horrified. The quality control looks like nothing I have seen ever even from Jeep or Ford. Did some of you receive clean cars at delivery?
