I have the slip in front of me. R/T 60 330 1/8 MPH 1000 1/4 mph HCAT .554 1.941 5.168 7.703 99.04 9.874 11.708 122.39 TSLA .185 1.751 4.819 7.447 91.68 9.760 11.738 113. 85 first by .3397 sec

Byron Drag Strip is in a lovely rural setting. Looking down the track at the quarter mile lights you see the bellowing towers of the Byron Nuclear Power Plant. The place was packed and filled with some nuts. There were bikes hitting 7.75's @177mph.

The slip is in the car but as I recall the reaction time for the Tesla is under 2 sec and was over 4 sec for the Hellcat. This was a straight first to finish contest. The Hellcat actually posted a better 1/4 time of 11.708 (vs 11.738) but was slower to trigger out of the block. The Hellcat owner...

I upgraded my P85D to a P85DL in late July (almost a 10 month wait). My buddies have goaded me ever since to take it to the track. I have goosed it on country roads but that's about it. On Sunday I took it to Byron (Illinois) Drag Strip. My friends wanted to run it against a 2015 Hellcat. I...

Did you ever get it back? I am just starting down the same path.

Jealous. I ordered the upgrade on 9/29. I was scheduled for installation on 5/31-eight months later. As they were performing this they discovered a problem with the battery pack. Fremont engineering would not let them work on this specific section of the battery pack. A loaner battery pack was...

Finally got word (first since 9/29/15). My upgrade is scheduled for 5/31 in Highland Park, IL. They indicated they are awaiting parts but are slotting me into the queue. They said that my P85D is a later version which requires a different parts set than earlier versions.

I put down my deposit on September 29, 4 days after they opened it up. I talked to the Service Center several times and I was told they get a few upgrades at a time (nothing until a couple months ago) and "corporate" determines who gets the upgrade based on the queue list maintained in CA. The...

No question--AWD. If you have summer tires you'll need to swap them out as well.

This morning it was 46. A/C set on LO. I just get in and drive.

Hopefully someone will read this and provide an answer. There are so many threads about range I don't know where to start. I have driven my P85D for about 6 weeks now. I drive 53.5 miles each way to and from work so I already have 3500 miles on it. I have the Tesla wall charger 240/40 and at...

This is silly. If owners really think they can sue as a class, they have to show damages "as a class." I'm unaware of any residual value hit anyone would take if horsepower is 550 or 650 and not 691. When I slam mine it's still a thrill to me and any suspecting or unsuspecting passenger whether...

I live in the Chicago area and my home office is in Memphis. Memphis flights are terrible (schedule-wise) so I've been stuck making the drive a couple of times. There's a complete supercharger void after St Louis and there is zip in Memphis. I'll be driving the F150 the next time I need to make...

Flew in from a business trip the day before; Tesla provided a rental that I dropped off when I picked the new car up the following day.

1400 miles in 16 days of ownership. I have an F-150 that I use on weekends the same way I used it when I had my Audi A8. There has been no change in my vehicle choice pattern since I took delivery of the Tesla.

Very similar experience to Tstafford after one week and 800 miles. Love almost everything. Have the Wall connector and in early evening am drawing 30AMPS vs 40AMPS. Always at 227-229 when I leave in the morning. Got the front console and it works fine. I thought the Bose sound in my in 2013 A8...

Thanks, I will give it a shot.

I brought my week old Tesla to the OptiCoat dealer for inspection yesterday. He said the paint was in good shape with limited surface swirl/scratch marks. He'll do one paint correction application and then apply the OptiCoat Pro. $475 each and it will take 24 hours (applications and cure time).

I am in the same boat as Tomnisim; new P85D and purchased premium Slacker radio through my IPhone. I called Tesla Technical Support and other than giving me the coded User and Login numbers for my VIN, they offered no guidance. Now I have basic in the new car and Premium Slacker on my iPhone and...

I ordered the premium center console that was installed prior to delivery. My interior is grey so I figured the black contrast leather would look good and it does. The trim in the car is carbon fiber. When I was having the Xpel wrap put on yesterday, I asked the installer where he got the carbon...

I picked up my P85D late Saturday (8/15) and the DS had no information. I assume that since I am in the Chicago area there are a lot of inquiries/requests but they know nothing yet.

Same dark brown "garage" key fobs. Swag-less.

I just went through the process. Ordered 7/3, confirmed 7/9. I was told if I confirmed early they could bump me up in queue. Production started 7/20 and was completed 8/7. DS felt bad because build was delayed at the factory, so they shipped it on a truck vs. train. P85D arrived after 4 days and...

My P85D is allegedly going into production today. I was told that I cannot change my configuration (I was going to upgrade to Ludicrous mode).
