As a track enthusiast who has taken his Model 3 Performance to the race track several times, I have been keeping a close eye on this space for quite some time. Since Tesla does not yet show any detailed metrics in the Model 3 even when “Track Mode” is enabled I sought to fill this void with Scan My Tesla. After a bit of research I settled on a Bill of Materials (BOM) that have allowed me to see what is going on behind the scenes in my Model 3. ...
