Nightfury

[rose0529]

We sold the WRX and purchased a Tesla Model 3 Performance (stealth).

We ordered a standard dual motor Model 3 at the end of October. In November I got word via the Tesla forums that there was a batch of off menu stealth performance 3's getting built. I called my sales guy and he was able to claim one for me and switch my order over!

It is visually the same as a standard dual motor, but it has the bigger motors of the performance cars. Basically you can't order one, but they randomly build them and you can buy it if you find one, kind of a weird, but I was super happy to find one. It doesn't have the big brakes, lowered suspension, and visual add on's of the standard performance, but it has track mode. It is about 5k less than the performance cars you can order. 0-60 in 3.2 and 320 miles of range.

We picked it up last night, so far it seems like the perfect mix of fast and comfy. Perfect for DDing.

I plan to remove the area wheel covers (hubcaps). They add about 5% to your driving range, so I'll keep them around if we ever take a trip in it. Window tint is first up.

We named it Toothless after the Nightfury in how to train your dragon.

Volts and amps! Nice! Naming a car, too funny! You need a witty license place for this one, seems like every tesla has one. haha

Yeah, each Tesla has a spot where you are supposed to name them. The one we test drove was Draco Malfoy.

Nice. So basically same acceleration performance as andrews but without the big brakes and other things that the actual performance model comes with? That's cool, that's almost exactly what I think I'd want if I were to order one. Very cool!!

Yeah, I would have ordered it to start with but it's a "secret" item which is weird.

Peformance includes:
20" Performance wheels
Performance Brakes
Carbon fiber spoiler
Lowered suspension
Aluminum alloy pedals
Increased top speed from 145mph to 162mph
Track Mode


Mine has Track mode, and the extra hp's but not the rest of the stuff listed.

I did not know this. What spot?

I parked next to a tesla with "workday" as the plate today, guess they're an employee or local salesperson? kind of weird. No witty plate here. Apparently I'm a bad owner not naming my car or having a custom plate lol

omg I didn't know this was a thing!! Googled it a bit and just wow. Can't wait to see it without those covers; I reeeeeeeaaaaaally don't care for the look of the stock wheels but if they're just covers, do it up!

Funny, the guy when we test drove made sure to show us that part. haha.

Yeah they are ugly. The wheels under look alot better. Once it's not so f-ing cold I'll take them off haha.

Saw a black 3 with aero covers off at hy vee tonight, looks good.
I had a much different buying experience, ordered over the phone with Kansas City since there are none here, and picked up at their service center in ghetto of KC, no walk through of the vehicle, just said here are the keys and showed me how the key card worked until I setup my phone as the key and that was pretty much it. Had to read the manual for everything else.

You probably already figured this out but the heater drains the battery big time, I usually have it set pretty cool, enough to keep the windows from fogging and wear gloves driving with seat heat on max in the winter, really improves range for the short commute where I don’t need cabin heat much.
