I had an opportunity to quickly test 0-60 on the car to see what times were but getting like 4+ seconds? Anyone managed to get ~3.2? Tyres at 2.9bar per the manufacturer label. This was also while driving for about 30 mins so would have thought battery would have warmed up enough? Disabled Obstacle Aware Acceleration, and acceleration is on Sport, I had it going in to SC anyway so have added this to be looked at but curious if I am not doing something I should be?

0-60 performance on m3p?

You are fine. 4 is totally reasonable depending on the circumstances. Some things to consider.
- What was your charge level? Max power is at ~90% and drops (IMHO too much) as charge drops
- What was your measuring device for the 4 seconds. Timing with a stopwatch ...nah as we are, well, human. Timing with an iPhone drag app...nah as the GPS is only 1HZ which means 1 update per second or plus or minus up to a second (don't let their interpretive claims fool you). Dragy 10 hz GPS - ok you've got something there.
- What this from a dig or from a 1 foot roll-out? Tesla's 3.2 claim is for a 1 ft rollout which can easily subtract a few tenths from a dig.

I read about this before but when I hit Tesla logo it shows my dual motor read sign and the 20 inch alloys so assume the right settings were applied?
Haha... My quartz/satellite accurate mouth...
Sorry have no idea what a foot roll out is, I simply spanked the accelerator when the car was in hold. I thought releasing hold might add some latency so I changed it to roll mode so as soon as I release the brake pedal no brakes are applied didn't make a difference
I'll try again whenever the next opportunity would be where I can get 90% battery! Thanks guys

Basically, they don't start the watch until the car has been moving a foot - so not a true standing start, unlike how the other Model 3 versions were measured, which were standing start timings, apparently.
Not a complete con though, some merit in doing its and fairly common practice to standardise timings. Something to do with there being some difficulty ensuring an exact 0 at the right point at the timing beam at start of the run which having the car rolling avoids. It does flatter the time slightly, but only if comparing against true standing start. If everyone measured the same, not a problem for like for like comparisons. I heard someone say it was worth a tenth or so on M3P vs true standing start.

Ive found the seats so solid ive been fine. I mean i look like heath ledger after as each cheek stretches back though...
