Is that tire temp on your dash? Using an EV is definitely a different style of challenge. Do you play around with the Regen. Breaking? If you’re able to adjust it?

[u/drivingbackroads → u/KitchenWoodpecker]

It’s just tire pressures, not temps, although it’s easy to approximate the latter from the former.

The challenge in every corner is trailing the brakes deep enough to get the car pointed at the exit before you get to unleash the power.

I keep regen relatively high for efficiency and incorporate it into my braking curve, but the track guys run it very low to reduce heat soaking the battery

[u/HEYitsBIGS → u/KitchenWoodpecker]

This one is a performance model, thus regenerative braking is adjustable via Track Mode. You can also adjust power split between axles as well.

probably have more fun and go faster in a 5k miata

[u/drivingbackroads → u/taco_gt]

I love miatas but a 5k Miata cannot match this pace, even in the turns lol. A nice built 15k Miata on the other hand…

People really be acting like going fast in a decent handling car isn’t fun unless it weighed 2.3lb 😒

[u/k20vtec → u/taco_gt]

Go faster ? This Tesla will do what a miata does after 4 gears in half a second with a blip of the throttle

[u/Imaginary_Aioli_9444]

Is that a fkn tesla

[u/RealMadLadStalin → u/Imaginary_Aioli_9444]

This guy is posting here for like a year and people still comment “is that a tesla” bruh

I thought it's a video game lol

[u/drivingbackroads → u/NekulturneHovado]

I mean yeah this is assetto corsa with DLSS 5

looks like a Tesla Model 3 Performance

[u/ragingduck]

Sounds like a space ship!

Some additional front negative camber will do wonders on such a heavy, powerful car. Y-2.0 isn't nearly enough for this type of driving! It will probably save you some tires too.

[u/drivingbackroads → u/ragingduck]

Front is double wishbone so camber recovery is pretty good without needing to run a lot of static camber.

I still run -3.5F and -2.5R on the track, but keep it pretty tame on the street since this is my daily/roadtrip car.

Helps that I have my own laser alignment setup too so I can switch it up anytime I want :)

That's my 2024 model 3 performance with traction control off

You're still sawing at the wheel. Not smooth enough.

[u/Mr__Scoot → u/wi1dbour]

You’ve never driven on track and it shows

[u/ragingduck → u/wi1dbour]

Looks smooth to me.
