LOL you reintroduced this a couple posts back a day later when it was done to “save face”. Get off your high horse 0-60 can be part of getting a good 1/4 time. It doesn’t prove or disprove a car’s performance, and is pointless by itself in trying to do so. That’s it

Ya in a specific 0-60 thread LOL Main thing 0-60 matters for those of us that drag race is the initial launch and 60 foot time, to get the best 1/4 ET. Still has nothing to really do with showing what a car’s performance is Good try though. If you want to obsess on 0-60 only knock yourself out

The 1/8, 1/4, and 60-130 are amazing for the “entry” model S! Those stats are all that matter

You said it yourself, 0-60 is a marketing ploy by car makers (Ie, pointless 😉) So I wouldn’t labor over the 3.1 stat. Fact is, the LR accelerates from any roll speed quicker than the typical car that would be marketed at 0-60. For example, I use to have a 911 Turbo that did 0-60 in 2.8 and...

So if you play that game and only look at Tesla’s quoted 0-60, both the 3P and LR are 3.1. So why did you think the LR would be “faster”? STILL, 0-60, meaning from an absolute standstill, most depends on the launching software for these EVs. The ONLY reason the 3P may have the same 0-60 is...

Not deflecting anything, just basically saying get over it in a round about way because 0-60 doesn’t show anything for how quick the car is As the OP of this thread stated, 60-130 means a lot more and he was interested in the performance of the LR, which pretty much negates 0-60. It’s pointless...

Exactly! New MSLR is running high 10s at almost 130mph. M3P is mid 11s around 115mph a and the Plaid was supposed to be a 200mph car…. It’s not easy for the Plaid to hit the magical 1.99 with rollout either. I’m sure the LR could do the 3.1 there just aren’t many owners doing Dragy runs with...

Exactly! New MSLR is running high 10s at almost 130mph. M3P is mid 11s around 115mph at best

I am consistent 0-60 in 2.20-2.25 (without 1ft roll out) in my Plaid on both street and track. Stock 21” PS4S tires

How much weight reduction do you have?

The 1 foot rollout is industry standard though so I don’t think they’d do it for one and not the other Who knows though Honestly 0-60 is about the most insignificant performance measure since traction is the BIG factor for most cars. 1/8, 1/4, and 60-130 is where it’s at to accurately...

Vinyl for sure

X Plaid should hit 9.7 with 85% or higher charge and a good track prep. Trap should be 145mph

He’s got the currently quickest Plaid in the world right now 😉 Tesla’s 0-60 claims are with the 1ft rollout, so technically the 3.3 actual 0-60 is just about right as that basically puts it at the 3.1 considering the rollout Still, the LR is a much quicker car than that and would be atleast...

100%. Tesla totally handicapped the LR off the line. It’s a much quicker car than the 0-60 would suggest. It’s quicker than the outgoing Performance model and yet 0-60 is almost a second slower. It would run low 10s instead of high 10s if Tesla gave it the proper launch with just a software update
