Appreciate it! It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I’d be willing to bet that’s because most of them haven’t driven one 😬

Looking forward to seeing future content on the Tesla, what you do to it and how it responds to your mods.

What a well made video! How do you not have a million subs?

Really like the Tesla content and appreciate the weighing of parts stock to aftermarket especially wheel/tire package and rotors since they are rotational and unsprung weight which makes the difference so much more than fixed sprung weight. Autocrossing since 95 and trackdays since 97 and the driving looked nice good job. Only one minor complaint. The camera work while walking and passing the pillars had a lot of sway and was disorienting to watch. Great stuff and nice to see the Tesla on track and improving.

Great project! I wish you will try to replace the seats to carbon bucket seats.

Awesome video

Love the content, just took delivery of a M3P last month and it’s a monster. Looking forward to more occasional Tesla vids 🤙

@@scraplifegarage Not sure if it was said already, but with the rear brake caliper you can use a 9v battery to move the parking brake motor. just reverse polarity to change direction.

@@stevencase243 I was aware of that, unfortunately being in such a time crunch I tried to use what I had handy (jumper wires and a milwaukee 12v battery) and when that was fighting me I just yanked the actuators and spun them with an allen key. I have that nice little jumper harness that uses the 9v on the way for next time!

@@scraplifegarage The issues you were having with the Brake fluid is probably due to the fluid itself. Those of us tracking are using RBF660 or Endless RF650 for the higher boiling points. I personally use the Endless fluid and have no issues with boiling or it getting soft.

Super late to seeing this :( Summit Point Shenandoah is an amazing track - what was the best time you got in the M3P?

Would you run the Weds setup and tires on the street? (275/40/18,18x8.5) Are the weds forged?

This was very insightful, thank you for making this video! I was looking into getting the nt033rr in 18x9.5, did you use hub centric rings? I’ve been looking all over for ones that will fit the m3p rotors. I believe those einkei are 75mm center bore from what I’ve gathered.

Honestly it just comes down to personal preference, as long as the barrel clears the brakes, it’s your choice as far as design and weight. I do like the enkei nt03rr for my daily wheels. Barrel clearance is the most important aspect, I tried 18x9.5 rpf1 and they didn’t clear. Thanks for watching!

I’ll once I get this next little round of weight reduction done I’ll throw the draggy in it

9.5” wheel is better with 265 width tires. A052 is already wider than tires in the same size, 275 is too much will result in more side wall flex

Put the car in tow mode, then disconnect parking brake
