Congrats! I wonder if ours will be on the same truck?

No, from the small amount of data I have seen that car was really disappointing. Hopefully, that data is not indicative of the real world performance but I think that is a long shot. The difference in batteries didn’t matter as much before because the motors were the limiting factor. The new...

I use the S3XY buttons and Teslogic Display for just about everything they can do. I get rolling dyno graphs for each of my accelerations. I have auto opening doors. Just too many things to name them all.

I don’t think a truly 100% stock C8 ever did those numbers. There isn’t any evidence of that on Dragy.

I am going to install the S3XY buttons and Teslogic in the Tesla parking lot. I might even swap the wheels too.😳🤣

Sorry. I will drive it like I stole it if that makes it any better.😉

Are you hoping to pick it up today or get a VIN today? Congrats either way! If ours come in on the same truck that would be cool.

It’s on like Donkey Kong! I got a VIN in Raleigh NC. Delivery in 2-3 weeks. Red with Black interior. I have two sets of spare wheels to try on it. I have 18x8.5 wheels and 20x9.0 wheels. Both sets are square and both have standard sized Hankook iON EVO AS tires on them.

So I spoke too soon. It’s on like Donkey Kong! I got a VIN in Raleigh NC. Delivery in 2-3 weeks.

We shall see. I will probably have to resort to using my jockey 🏇 for the driver to get deep into the 10s. That is if I ever get my car. Mine appears to be delayed quite a bit.

11.11 was my best going downhill with weight reductions. Other people have done 11.1s too.

That’s moving. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 10.7 @ 125+ mph at some point with some weight reductions at the track.

His Demon 170 broke and needed a new $50k motor.

No, those 235s are pretty efficient upfront and it is AWD so front traction would be abysmal. Cool setup though. What vehicle is that?

Thanks for the info. What do the rear tires weigh with the foam inserts? Do the tires weigh more than the wheels?

There is a time and a place for performance and a time and place for efficiency. I love that this car can do both just not simultaneously. There is no need to just piss away efficiency if all I want to do is cruise down the highway. Also, there is no need to cripple performance at the Track to...

I can say without a doubt tire compound matters the most for efficiency below 70 mph. I have done extensive testing on this with different size diameter and width wheels/tires. Changing dimensions does make a difference. However, switching to the Hankook iON EVO AS tires alone made the biggest...

Yes, it certainly could be the case. Just depends on where the flat is and who is repairing it.

Quickest one I have ever seen 100% stock on the Uberheavies. Congrats!

Do you have the time slip from that run? That would be extremely quick for a 100% stock 2021 Model 3 Performance. Was this a Stealth Performance?

Nobody ever came close to breaking 11s for 60-130 mph with the old Model 3. Best I could do was 11.11 going downhill with a gutted car and improved aerodynamics. 10.9 is impossible in the old car without permanent modifications. I would be surprised if the new car is anywhere near 8.0 for...

Yes, wider tires definitely can improve traction in some cases. However, the old car was not traction limited. I ran 3.06 without subtracting rollout 0-60 mph and 11.24 @ 119.42 mph with all season 235 tires all the way around and interior weight reductions. The 16% torque improvement puts the...

Which trim level is that with? Is this a RWD, LR, or Performance model?

In the EV review world, Kyle is extremely well respected.

Congrats! The new car is so amazing according to the few reviews I have seen so far. On a side note my Daughter is going to Delval this fall. It really fits her needs perfectly. Fly Eagles 🦅, Fly!

Are the new wheels really that much lighter? Yes, the front ones weighing about 50-51 lbs is better than the 55.6 lbs I saw for my Uberturbines. However, those wider back wheels weigh about 54 lbs with the Aero inserts in. That is basically the same as the Uberturbines. I have some inexpensive...

When car enthusiast people like Kyle and Cammisa give rave reviews of what most people refer to as an “appliance EV” I stand up and listen. Tesla has taken what most people call a “boring EV” and made it fun. Made it something you can actually tinker with. You can improve the performance with...

I often get in a few miles of running at the track while the car is charging. No pain no gain!😉🤣

On Dragy? Trap speeds at tracks are rarely correct. Did you modify it at all? 11.61 is pretty quick for a 100% stock LR.

That is a Garmin connected scale. It tracks everything. I just step on the scale a few times a day and it tracks everything.

I run marathons. I qualified for and ran Boston last year which isn’t easy to do as a Clydesdale. Just ramping up the mileage slightly really affects my weight a lot.

I have lost 11 lbs this week and 12 more lbs to go before I get my car.😳 If I have to I will pull out the 100 lb Jockey 🏇I have lined up to drive.😉

That’s a solid LR + Boost 1/4 mile time. Strong trap speeds too. Honestly, that works for most people’s needs.

The interest rate eats up almost all of the $7,500 in some cases. It really is that bad.😭

Not sure. What are brakes for, again?😳😉🤫

This is a $46k 10 second car ON THE STREET for some people. Never mind doing it on the track. This thing could do it on the street. That is really astonishing.

You want “Sport” mode then.

Good luck and safe but swift driving to everyone getting their car today.

Strong 0-60 mph, 1/4, and 60-130 mph times from a legit 2024 Model 3 Performance.

Battery temperature trumps battery SOC for 40+ mph acceleration. I typically don’t care what the SOC is. Just tell me the battery temp or the max discharge value. Max discharge goes all the way to 462 KW(~609-629 HP). That happens at about 52.3 degrees C and 99%+ SOC. If you Supercharge to 100%...

If you ask for all the power it is going to give you all the power. Why expect anything different?

When the Model S went added the Ludicrous option the 0-60 mph dropped from 3.1 seconds to about 2.6 seconds I believe. Ludicrous has meant a half second 0-60 mph improvement in the past. Doesn’t look like we will see quite that this time around.

That’s 125 mph if it hooks and perhaps a lighter driver. 126+ mph might even be possible with even more weight reductions.

You are correct. I should have said Insane Mode.

My point is that if you put heat into that ~50% SOC battery it would perform like the ~90% SOC battery if that one is cold. Here is an example. This is 55% SOC and 122 F vs. 89% SOC and almost freezing battery. The max discharge for the 55% is 570 HP. The max discharge for 89% is 365 KW(~490...

It has been said that Insane mode will get the battery to optimal temperature if you leave it in that mode long enough. However, navigating to a Supercharger for about 15 minutes is probably the most reliable way to get it to optimal temps.

Same battery as before. Different battery from other countries is what I was referring to.

I should have clarified that with “battery is the same battery as the previous generation for the respective manufacturing location”. The battery you got before is still the same battery you will get now. However, different locations will get different batteries from each other.

Battery is the same in all countries.

You have to know the “Max Discharge Value” or the Battery Temperatures to make statements about how much SOC affects the car. Assuming that the car is always at the same temperature because the ambient temp is similar is an inaccurate assumption. I can make a 50% SOC car act like a 90% SOC car...
