I took delivery on July 5 and reported some other issues compiled from the delivery day and added the rattle a few days after and they have pushed out my apt 3x now. So supposedly, I am scheduled to bring it in Aug 15, but hoping they won't push it out again. And anytime I add another issue they seem to push out the date too. My 2022 Model 3 Long Range had rattles in the same front area and it turned out to be some broken clips. When they replaced, rattles didn't come backl. I should have just kept it. Once that was resolved the car was perfect. Now I regret getting into another rattle box. If they fix it all on then I will be a happy camper. Otherwise I may just move away from Tesla in general.

    As far as the turn signal problem. I've discovered that resting your finger or thumb on the buttons causes the sticking issue. Apparently, the buttons have two states: one is touch, and the other is pressed. For some reason, when you leave your finger or thumb resting on the button, it's either perspiration or oils from your skin that confuse the computer and thus creates the "sticking" button issue. I've consciously kept my finger/thumb away from the turn signals until I needed to press them, and I've had no issues since. Give it a try! Hopefully a software update could eventually fix that issue.

    @mrh3085 3 дні тому

    First, oversteer is slow 😊 Second if you’re not using the brakes to slow yourself when entering the corners you’re not going fast enough. Practice threshold braking to get a feel for the limit of the tires and car when entering corners. Trail braking into a corner helps you set the car into the line you want for approach. Remember to look down the track and through the corners. Avoid staring directly in front of your car or the back of the car in front. The faster you go the further you need to look ahead. Lastly, try carrying your speed into the corner trail braking while trying to apex later in your turn. Applying the accelerator exiting the corner. Smooth inputs are faster than abrupt inputs to steering & braking. I hope this helps. Great video! Thank you 🙏

    What did the edges of the tires look like? That'll give you a good indication of "ballpark" do you have too much or too little pressure in the tire. Curious to see what that'd be like on a car with 4000lb of heft. My old Miata was 2034lbs after much "adding lightness" but obviously lacking torque. A single temp of the tire isn't of much use. If you have several temps across the tire then that'd be of use.

    • @Swampster70
      @Swampster70 4 дні тому

      @@officialmichaeltan The best thing to do is schmooz with the instructors and ask them about tire temps and how best to find it. Chances are they've had enough time with similar weight cars like the M3 to get you in the ball park. Some chalk or some "sneaker whitening goop" on the top edge of the sidewall will give you a good indication of how far the sidewall is rolling over. You don't want to eliminate this entirely by pressure adjustment alone, but it's a super simple way to check to see if your lead sled is going further than you'd like on the tire sidewall. A big circle dab on the top of the sidewall will do ya. Of course the other thing to look at is tire wear. What does it look like before and after the session? Is there much change? How does the tire wear on the track Vs on the street (over time). You do both so you have to take both into account but they may not be as mutually exclusive as you think. If you find the outside 1/4 wearing faster, if you can, dial in a little negative camber - if the Model 3 has adjustments via a cam bolt or similar. I don't have one so I wouldn't know. If you can it becomes a game of balancing the camber and toe and the tire pressure. With a bit more camber, you need less pressure to keep the sidewalls from rolling. Get a reliable temp probe and measure temps across the tire and see. It's easy to do. Temp and depth probes and pen/paper provides useful info - it's super simple yet very informative. Once you have data, if you can''t figure it out yourself, you can also chat to someone that can but without data it's all completely "subjective." If you tell someone "the back end is loose" there's a million reasons why. If you tell them, "my temps are this, my wear is this and it's loosey goosey on the rear" they can make a more informed reasoning on camber, toe and pressure. To be honest, I'd be tempted to set the oversteer/understeer slider in the middle at zero and sort the temps/wear and tire pressures first and leave that digital goodness until later. I've got a few years until I get one of these - set my main goal to pay off the house first and then have some fun. I do miss track days and especially autocross. It has been said that a could autocrosser can always track well but a good track guy may get lost in an autocross. Maybe give SCCA Solo2 a try. That'll give you ample opportunity to get good tire data and at very low risk of damage.

Just like with any other sport or hobby, if you want to get better seek out those with a ton of experience and ask. Most people at national level are often quiet and reserved until asked cool techie questions and then, as they used to say back in England when I was growing up there "they'll talk the hind legs off a donkey" and give away all but the most of the top tips. The reason i didn't mention getting into replacing things is that if you can get the camber/caster/toe and set the tires at the optimal pressure then you can concentrate on the really important thing: the nut that holds on the steering wheel. No, not the nut under the airbag, the driver :P Seat time, seat time, seat time and more seat time. Go find local autocrosses from all different organizations and drive them all. If you like being out all day, see how many different classes the Tesla can be in and drive all of them.

    okay first off, please post lap times. it gauges the driver experience and also capabilities of the car. you can't give a "track" review without this. you should really preface it if you are a novice driver or new to the track. which it does seem like. to me and a few others in the comments. it seems like a parade lap for novice beginner drivers + too much traffic. talking about Gs or noises and talking about from an authoritative viewpoint really doesn't help the perception either. Just all types of random feedback that exposes ur inexperience. you keep mentioning tire screeching which has nothing to do with performance which is very annoying to someone that actually tracks. you should retitle as "My first track day" or something instead of "review" as if you are an authoritive seasoned track pro. you are in no way reaching the capabilities of the car which is why nothing is overheating for you and pardon the french "talking out of your ass".
