- What's up, Tesla Nerds?! I break out some real man Milwaukee tools in this video since I don't have the right something or other for the thingymajig to do the ol' shave-a-roo as we begin the de-Nerdifying process on the Tesla. I'm slapping in a full suspension setup from the guys up in Canada at MountainPass Performance, in typical matty fashion I bought one of everything.
View their catalog here: www.mountainpassperformance.c...
I walk you through some serious fabrication done in the most extreme air-conditioned environment, hat nestled backwards and safety glasses in place. And all of that was done before I even got to the suspension work! You're in for a real treat.

Glad to see Sasha and the Mountainpass Performance teams killer parts getting some love. Awesome company and team
Kyle has to have zen master levels of focus. He is just working away while Matt is busy injuring himself lmao
Ha, ha... That comment made me bust out laughing.
Finally the Tesla modding can begin. Nice surprise on Saturday afternoon.
Begin? It's been going for some time now. Mountain Pass Performance makes great components.
@@amunoz66 I am talking in reference to Matt and their new family M3.
@@seanm.collins9888 Got it. Realized that after I posted...
Nothing says "Real Man" like the world's tiniest grinder.
Lol
“You Tesla nerds are going to have to step it up if you want to keep up with me “ 😂😂😂
“Safety first bros , nerds I mean ! “
“Sweating like a real man, too”
Crackin me up this morning
Sasha from Mountain pass is a hardcore race car driver and tuner. I would trust them over any other guys when it comes to tuning.
For future reference you can put a socket on an impact and spin it while hitting it with an angle grinder to evenly grind down the OD of the socket...
Instant classic. Even spicier and funnier than the Active video. So enjoyable.
CZcams needs more OG offending 🙌🏼
Been waiting for this! Can't wait to see the rest of the build, this suspension is seriously awesome :)
Thanks for taking the time to make and post this video. I wanted to get a look into how the suspension is setup and this videos delivered perfectly.
The whole grinder ordeal deserves some type of award.
I’m with you!! Just do it!! All that stuff is going to look and be awesome!! Hell yeah!!
link to that impact that you said it would be the best one to have?
Mountain Pass is doing really cool things for an independent motorsports engineering company.
Mate, as a mechanic, the minute I heard you say “ let’s get a die-grinder here, it should be fun” and you told me you’re an engineer, it all made sense.
Stick to drawing bud!!!
shut up kid
Hi Matt, Very entertaining video. I was just wondering, you said you did not go with unplugged coilover and went with mountain pass because mountain pass uses KW. How come you did not go straight using KW for the Model 3? I'm just curious.
Real man with the nerd car but doesn’t have the right tools 🤣 love it. Glad to see you coming around on the Tesla.
the camber shim is a pretty slick idea.
Sasha and Jesse from MPP are easily the best in the business. You could have just dropped the entire top assembly as one piece instead of worrying about the 3 strut nuts, that's what I did when I put my MPP Coilovers and upper control arms on. Doesn't matter now though, you got it done :).
Matt sounds like Napoleon Dynamite when he gets upset.
Hope you went back and torqued all those bolts to spec...especially since you have that $300 Sonic torque wrench.
I got air suspension.
And the tank and management and compressors are in the frunk. Could I get away with not removing the frunk? Doing just the upper control arms
Multilink rear suspension?
What model number is that Milwaukee impact, as stated if you could only have one in your arsenal?
What's the model of the right angle impact wrench that you are using at 19:54?
Why didn’t he just grind down the socket?
Are these shocks factory valved with a digressive or linear valving stack on the main piston ?
Do you think they are doing day surgeries in the garage when Matt isn't using it? Pretty fricken clean in there :)
This episode should of been called " Because I can"
Haha love seeing someone else struggle. Just did the control arms on the wife’s X5 this weekend. Although Seemed like a perfect time to do the carbon ceramics with everything all torn apart. Oh well. Another video coming.
Edit: just caught your last sentence saying you were going to do the brakes next haha.
I’ve never laughed so much during an OG video I love it 😂
The perfect setup for trips to the mall and grocery store .
Why? “Because I can. Why not?” And the thug life sunglasses drop.
35:44 which impact from Milwaukee is this? looks legit.
Hello Matt,
Have been watching your channel for years now and really learned a lot from all your videos.
Couldn't help but notice that you put the upper control arm bolt backwards ( @19:20 vs. @40:50 ), not sure if the "Bolt Slot" is at the middle point of the bolt or not and if it grips the pin the same way.
In case you already changed it.....my bad.
You ever watch someone work on a car & they’re so bad it makes you angry?
That's nonsense.
I'd recommend laying the impact gun down, instead of setting it upright. I just have visions of a neat new ding in a door.
I'm about to do the same install when my car gets here in June. Is the upper mount A arm mount with the 4 bolts able to be unbolted with the shock and mount coming out as one piece instead? In theory this should mean the grinding to the chassis is avoided. Is this not the case? Something else in the way that I can't see?
Yes, it comes out as one piece, no grinding is needed.
What the front rotors weigh?
I have the same suspension. Love my MPP Sports.
so far so good? experience any problem's? I have a 2020 M3 and I'm thinking about it because I have to change the upper arm 2 times.
The unknown hole on the upper control arm is for hanging during blue aluminum anodizing coating process.
Ah...that make sense.
This nerd definitely would apply touch up paint on the grinded metal after shearing it. Just for rust protective measures, it is worth sealing. Nice taste!
Are we required to fille / grind in order to install MPP? I know it is an old video but hoping someone would answer.
Not sure about the spherical bearings on a car as quiet as a Tesla. That's definitely gonna add some NVH.
Also , just not so sure about rubber /poly bushings being great. Maybe less maintenance for people living in states with salts /mud ? I run all uniball pivots on upper and lower control arms , and there are zero issues with “vibration”. Also feels sharper and direct . I do live in so cal so I don’t worry about rusting steel heims/ uniballs.
Maybe touch up with some paint the holes you widened
would it safe to put a normal jack stand under the suspension area (the grey color part .Not sure about the technical name. Lower control arm)? Tesla model 3 base model.
I'm pretty sure that would be a really bad idea. You'd want to get a set of JackPoint Jackstands.
Did this coilover install in my driveway with just a couple of hydraulic jacks :-P (Went KW V3 though)
1 question matt, when the f*** do you sleep bro? lol. one of the hardest working men on YT for sure. I cant believe how much you accomplish and generally record it all for us to see which is something special man. It makes my head spin thinking about how much you put into this stuff for ur viewers...😓😓😓From one person who has learned a lot from you most of which id of never knew existed, THNKYOU!!!
I have a lot of people helping me make this all happen. We are very well organized and every improving efficiency and output.
Matt, check out Ohmmu batteries for the Model 3.
Hey Matt did you notice yet that there are hexagon shapes on the underside of the hood? You were meant to de-nerd a model 3 lol
I mean sure, you don’t HAVE to tighten suspension at ride height. If you want the car to sit higher and bushings to wear out faster. But hey it’s a free country. 🤣
What is that Matt, a Motorola Razr on your hip?
hm.
Hey Shelly test this out for me let me know if anything falls off
oh Matt. just when all things are going well, something needs to go wrong such as losing a bit
Thanks. What is the name and model
Of this jack ? Thanks

The socket must have been absorbed by the Swisstracks
48:28 The reason why you should load the suspension before tightening the bolt is so you don't bind the bushings when the suspension is loaded. Factory bushings are like a rubber hinge. It can flex a little but will tear when pushed too far. Maybe the bushings are a sissy.
Haha, loved this
What’s up with the Dewalt glasses???
You know you're flexing when you just grind away at your brand new Tesla rather than just grind your socket down.
I can hardly focus on what Matt's doing because I'm trying to keep a mental note of where each part came from, it's relationship to the other parts and which order they were removed. Damn it.
oh noooooo you made the holes wider.
Matt, as a fellow Porsche / Tesla nerd I can tell you that you didn’t have to worry about brake dust with the Tesla. Compared to steel brakes on a Porsche or BMW, there is almost no dust.
Carbons on this car are just for the cool factor.
And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Don’t feel the need to apologize. You wanted them you got them. Totally unnecessary. But I bet you $1000 that all those guys complaining you didn’t need them would take them in a heartbeat.
I track mine so I'd love to have them but you are right. 99 percent of your braking daily driving is with regen not the brakes
@@Shiftheads If I was tracking, I’d certainly swap out the stock brakes. They aren’t good by all reports. I’d probably go steels but these seem pretty affordable.
@@joetacchino4470 yeah currently using Carbotech pads, mpp lines and srf fluid. I'm probably going to do the newer 6 piston cts v swap. Lots of pad and rotor options
Do you follow any torque specs for the new install or just whatever feels tight enough?
My wrist and elbow are calibrated.
Looks to me like Sonic tools sockets are definitely not thin wall. This worked though. Any excuse to use the m12 right angle grinder is justified
Could of just grinded the socket instead of the strut towers
Dang. Just watched a 50 minute video and it felt like 15 mins lol.
Why the Civic still there?
Perhaps this was filmed before? Perhaps it hasn’t been shipped yet?
13:52 Nerd mode on!
Return of the blood hand?
Would it not be a good idea to put loctite on suspension bolts?
I found it easier to grind down the socket instead of each hole individually! Just an heads up for anyone swapping suspension.
Clocking your bushings is definitely important 😂😂 brand new bajillion dollar suspension is gonna be squeaking
No
@@ObsessedGarage Fkn guy 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh, the nerdery...smashed my cuticle?
Why grind the tesla if you can also grind the tool to fit??!!
I like my tools more.
@@ObsessedGarage Got a Sonic S12 myself, and I’m really a petrol heard. So I completely understand ;-)
Wait...the Civic winner didn't drive it away day one? 🤔
He bought it off the "winner"
@@f0lkblues no way. 🤯
No. It got shipped down
I am glad that's not my car
It’s nice to see a real car guy work on a Tesla.
that design where rear shock absorber and spring are separate should have been done away with years ago along with drum brakes and crank windows
Orange wires are high voltage
This guy has too much money. I'm low key jelly!!!
What a hack. Thin wall socket is all that's needed, but this dork decides to remove paint and metal instead.
no it was a bit of fabrication ! :-)
@@valvemonky4734 - I know, right? Fabrication... LOLOL
Sorry, I don't have a massive Harbor Freight collection or a giant lien on my tools from curtesy of the local tool truck guy.
@@ObsessedGarage Says the guy who has almost every Sonic hand tool ever made. It's just amazing to me that someone as anal as you couldn't source a single thin wall socket rather than cut metal on a new car. Unless of course you didn't know that thin wall sockets exist in the first place. But either way, you're a hack. I stopped watching the video after watching you cut the holes larger, but I hope you at least put some paint on the raw metal edges that you created. If not, do it for the next owner.
Can I buy your brakes?
Does Michelle like the upgrades?
25:03 Nerdy Bloodhand number one!
Listen up nerds!
See sniffing all that GSF!!
I have a 2015 m3 that I bought brand new and it is dialed in. I am on house arrest as a result to prove it. I am a long time subscriber and I want you guys to raffle my car
Imagine buying the M3P only to swap out the parts
Ive owned; 08 m3, 14 m6, 15 m3, and 15 911.1 gt3. Now I have a 18 model 3 performance and love it more than all of them. I also installed redwood ohlins... and I’m not a nerd. “Bro”.
Watch out when I say things like that the internet threatens my family.
Your profile picture says otherwise.
@@ObsessedGarage hahahahaha
@25:03 mother god dang it haha
Liquid soap is as good as grease. With less mess
21:29 whoa, whoa. Who what when where how?
Don't be a creep
your wife will hate driving it after this. Gonna be way too stiff. :-)
Nope. It’s adjustable. The stock Model 3 suspension SUCKS. it’s so bouncy.
This rides much better than stock. Speaking from experience. The kw coilovers don't have that rigid feeling over small bumps like stock. They feel like they take the bump and keep the traction instead of skipping across if that makes sense. Just a more planted feel.
Thought women liked stiff things? 🤓
This is the only stiff thing Matt can give his wife.
Did I hear a "fucking bolt"
haha
The longer springs that almost killed you might be because these cars are so heavy.
Real man don't wear gloves, real man feels no pain.
Most likely a dumb question, but why does a car built in CA have metric bolts?
Because the rest of the world (bar a few exceptions) uses the metric system.
