@ElonMusk @tesla It occurs to me a couple tenths of a second could be shaved off the Model S in Launch Mode if FSD could be employed to identify the drag strip's green light and launch on its own. Removes human reaction time. Cool new feature? :) :)
Sure as heck that feature wouldn't hurt...

Come join other Tesla and EV owners on Saturday March 16th (rain date March 23rd) for 1/4 mile fun racing at Atco Dragway (1000 Jackson Rd, Atco, NJ 08004) from 12-5 pm ($50). There will be dedicated staging lanes for EVs and award certificates for best reaction time and speed for different...
Just a fun poll to judge 0-60 predictions.
I myself would like to see a actual measured (e.g. VBOX) 2.9 - 3.1 sec, with advertised 3.3 - 3.5 sec. (Tesla always almost always underpromises on 0-60).

Thank you

Never drag raced before. Took my recently updated P85D to the local drag strip to test out Ludicrous Mode. Had fun, met lots of cool people, and learned a lot! There are probably several things I can do to help improve performance.
I attached two slips. This first pass was 11.666 at 96%...

Fun fact: many high-performance cars cross the quarter mile line faster when towed by a Model X than they do on their own four wheels.

I don't understand a word of what they're saying. Dutch does sound quite funny to a native Swedish-speaking though... No offense :wink:
Anyho...
Things starts moving at ~2:25… :rolleyes:
I just saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYA4egSYASU. I'm wondering how many cars the new P85D will smoke. I had a loaner P85 and that was ridiculously fast. I couldn't drive the P85 on a regular bases without getting tickets :o.
