Another data point, 70,000 miles, 2018 AWD LR M3. 268 max range (86%) at 100% charge based on 310 rated.

Thanks @hoang51 for the trip down to complete this comparison and the video work. This was a fun time and very interesting to see the results. Comparing the dyno graphs, you can see where the software limitations start to apply to the M3D.

Yes I was thinking the same thing with software limiting, you can see how it matches the Chill mode runs as well in terms of curve. Guess it takes that 100 extra to get the 1s 0-60 difference for our heavy cars.

Vid of run: DSC_0212.MOV Ignore RPM it wasn't used and isn't relevant. Cars were run to about 110 to 120 when power started to drop off, the bottom x axis is actually speed missing the last zero.

Performance in Blue, Dual motor in Red. lower graph of green and yellow are both cars in chill mode.

Ok, drum roll please........... the data is in, we ran a couple of runs of both the M3D and the M3D Performance and the comparison graphs are attached. Also ran a run of both cars in Chill mode with very minimal deviation between the two. Both cars were close to 90% SOC and dropped to close to...

Had a couple good runs today on both the cars. Will upload data shortly, thanks to all that helped fund about half the cost. And thanks @hoang51 for bringing his car for the comparison.

Both of us have a bit of a drive to the dyno so batt will be warm and there is a supercharger within a few miles, we will both charge to 90% for the runs. Since the runs will be back to back, we won't get to test much lower SOC just where the car is at after each run.

So data is set for this Friday at 1pm. Have my AWD and have another AWD Performance coming to do back to back comparison. Feel free to help cover our cost of the run at: Click here to support Tesla M3D and Performance Dyno Run Comparison organized by Scott Francis

Friday is getting close, can't wait for the runs and the results!

All, Dyno run is rescheduled for 11/30 @ 1pm. @hoang51 has agreed to travel and run his Performance AWD so we can get a same day comparison to my AWD. It looks like total cost will be about $160 for the 2 cars, if you want to help that would be great, but I'll cover whatever difference there...

Sure Reddit would be fine for additional exposure. I'll check with the shop today for other appt times and get back to you. I'll DM you my contact info as well.
