Roughly up to what speed did you get it? Man these mixed reviews are killing me!

Never owned a Tesla, but will be replacing a ~400whp ICE car. Rented a '22 M3P and was moderately impressed, but I did notice the power dropoff at speed. Seems like the refresh will suit me pretty well.

Yes clearly I didn't just read a bunch of your posts saying it traps 115 despite the myriad proof that has been posted. I guess draggy times are fake, youtube videos are doctored and the world is conspiring against you. 🤷

Watch the video dummy, you can literally see when the car goes through the traps. What a weird hill to die on lol

Any idea how much frequent pre-heating affects battery life/degradation? It would be nice if they would add in the pre-heat capability and call it drag mode or whatever, but if it affects the battery long term then obviously that would raise their warranty costs.

I'm assuming you are heating the battery prior to these runs? How long does that take from a cold start? Do you/can you keep it heated at all times?

So do you think he pulled a true 2.9 (no rollout) WITH a passenger? That seems hard to believe considering Tesla's 2.9 with rollout, without a passenger

I don't think this is correct, Cammisa didn't specify his runs were with or without rollout, which almost certainly means they were WITH rollout subtracted.

I think you are underestimating the amount of people willing to break the law

So ultra red just effectively went up 7500 8500 edit: math

How is it possible that out of all these so-called automotive reviewers (aka youtubers), not a single one of them got a 1/4mi dragy result?

I'm definitely interested in the M3L, but not as intrigued as I was before the news came out that it wasn't using a plaid motor. I'd rather have a smaller car like the 3, but a lightly used plaid at 65k is increasingly appealing.

Maybe they're waiting until Star Wars day (May 4th) as a play on the Space Balls references. Probably not but what else are we going to talk about at this point.

If they price it <$55 to qualify for the tax credit, then charge $7.5 for the 'ludicrous', it would be $55k out the door and they pocket the $7.5 from Uncle Sam. I have no idea if they will do that, but it seems like the best way to maximize profit.

Right, it's almost as if it's all down to...preference.

So to summarize the last several pages, the taycan (7:07, $230,000) is ~4% faster around the a track than the plaid ($110,000, 7:25) at ~110% increase in price. is it worth it? only you can decide, because I can't afford either (which is why I'm on a model3 thread).

Not to pick nits here, but it didn't beat the 'Dark Helmet' plaid. That car holds the EV record still at 1:26.7 (ridiculous aero and all).

Looks like 275/30/r20, at least in the rear. Hopefully square.

This just in: people want all the things but don't want to pay for them. More at 11, Bob.

Seems to me that that have no interest because they have no financial incentive, doing anything else is just bad business.

But if there are no drivetrain changes to the M3P, why wouldn't the highland version be released along with the non-performance?
