I just came here to say, guys… Relax, Tesla is not putting a Ludicrous badge on the new Model 3P unless it does a 2.X 0-60

To be clear, not saying the 1/4 mile is nerfed on the Model S, but the 0-60 times. Based on trap speeds it should be able to hit high 2.x 0-60

This happens all the time but the truth is the sales people know even less than us forum people

Pictures of the early M3P sightings in Fremont also show the Ludicrous badge. All but confirms it will be in the prior Ludicrous performance range. I’m expecting high 2.x 0-60 and high 10.x 1/4 mile performance numbers. Maybe we’ll see an un nerfing of the Model S long range to match?

Nice passes Brooks! Just shows how far EV performance has come... Makes no sense to sacrifice practicality for speed when you can have both with the Plaid S

Neither can be dropped without lowering overall platform volumes by 50% and likely making the S/X program much less profitable.

Theoretically they could put a voltage step up adapter as a work around. You could get away w this if it were a single system vs many but you may be right or maybe they’ll make a native 12v version for S,X,3 and Y. There’s a huge incentive to share as many parts as possible to reduce costs. I...

Now that we’ve seen the new tech on the Cybertruck my speculation is when it shows up on the S. Bumper cam we knew about but the steer by wire system was a surprise and a miss from the original S with the yoke. Removing the need to rotate past 180* fixes a lot of the UX issues with yoke but...

Awesome, glad to have you here!

I'd like to believe that the S LR has carbon wrapped motors but the performance data so far looks more in line with the old P100D acceleration to 100. That seems to be more inline with it not having carbon wrapped rotors, or having software limited power curves to protect the P margin. I...

Thanks for sharing! I noticed the same guy posted an acceleration video vs a 2018 Model 3 P. Running it with youtube stats enabled I timed the 0-60 at ~3.26 seconds for this particular run, within the margin of error considering we don't know the battery SOC A few more interesting...

Sorry I'm a bit more skeptical, omission does not equal facts... Some history for context: 1. Tesla shipped the Model 3 dual motor with the same exact motors as the Model 3 Performance, but software limited. 2. Tesla lists performance 0-60 with rollout subtracted but lists other 0-60 stats...

Where does this information come from?

You'd be a hero around here if you could post some draggy times or something similar. That's awesome to hear about the pickup at higher speeds - does it feel like it holds torque like the Plaid does? I have a performance model 3 and like the Y the torque drop off after 60 mph is noticeable.

I'd also really like to know if the Model S long range has uses the same carbon wrapped rotors. The 0-60 in 3.1s is excellent especially considering that the time quoted is not with rollout subtracted. More importantly if the LR can keep the high torque after 60mph it will be a huge...
