There are apps you can run on your phone which will monitor your acceleration, velocity and time your 0-30, 0-60,0-100 and quarter mile.

I would love to have this feature. Some new cars have this as well as a 1/8th and 1/4 mile estimators.
Does anyone know of an accurate iPhone app that can do 0-60 times?

I agree with the others about liability, both for Tesla and for yourself. Get into a bad accident and if they opposing counsel finds you had some 0-60 runs just before it's going to look bad.
You can buy a third party device to test this. Also, once you know your 0-60, do you need to retest? Outside of weight savings there is no way to tune a Tesla. It's not like a regular car where you can add a new air filter and see if you have 2 more HP.

If you can't tell that your car accelerates quickly you are not very bright. Knowing that it is currently doing 3.4 seconds to 60 vs 3.3 seconds is hardly useful information.
Haven’t you heard? How many people asked for Teslatari or Fart mode? Tesla developers only work on projects that no one wants
Great idea, especially for the performance variants. I can understand it might not be that n Teslas’ interest. On the other hand, if properly implemented it will educate the user and help interpreting results, minimizing erroneous calls. Of course such a feature also helps to keep Tesla honest.
That's just supposition on your part. I'm a safe driver.
Just asking for 0-60, i.e. ordinary highway speeds; in other words, I wasn't requesting this with a 1 in front of the 6, which I might also then agree with you.
Also this probably should be disabled when in chill mode, as it's not really interesting there.
I just want to be able to accurately measure the performance of the car, to be able to tell my friends.
If Tesla was worried about what you suggest, I would think they would limit the car to below 100mph.

I'm another one of the 7. And I'm far from being a power geek. I just think it'd be fun. As a coding geek (yes, I'm one of those), I think it'd be straightforward to write.

Good point. I'd just like the bluetooth audio on my phone to sync with the car reliably and quickly. But I guess that's not software worth working on...
Peculiar. My Dragy says 4.44 seconds and 4.22 with a 1-ft roll out.
This was at 60% SoC too.
Clearly you don’t have a “2.8 second P90D”.
That’s nice if Tesla is not making up the numbers as they go along anymore.

Can’t you just use the seat of your pants to know exactly how quick you are accelerating? You don’t need something to spell it out to you. If you accelerate quick, your pants will let you know
GB / US translation : pants = underpants
we use that phrase the same here, no need for the "under" prefix, we know what you mean.
For those that need a refresher the pre scandal Cosby explanation was on point. Sorry for the poor video quality, this is all google would give me

I can think of far better things for the Telsa software folks to be spending their time on... To quote Rolls Royce, it is sufficient.
Got it. So you want a M3-specific software feature for something all cars can do. Makes sense.
What?
I'm not the OP, I just posted my Dragy run that shows that I'm getting what Tesla says, honestly better, since this 4.4 run was only at 60% SoC.

Dragy is good... you need to buy a Dragy GPS unit that syncs with the smartphone app... it's cheaper than a Vbox with similar performance from what i can gather. Since it uses a GPS unit, it's more accurate than a smartphone only app and it also invalidates runs that are done on downhill slopes or other anomalies. you can post your runs on a leader-board if that's your thing.
I had a standalone app on my phone that just used the accelerometer and maybe the phone GPS, but the Draggy is way better and more consistent.
FWIW, i'm getting 0-60 in 3.2 w rollout... as advertised.

At least 8. You're probably right though the thousands of videos with people doing acceleration tests on their Teslas would only lead to seven total people in the world that care about the thrill of acceleration.
. I mean Tesla thought track mode version 2 was a good option....
Add to the feature request that it auto books a service if the time is slow bearing in mind the direction of travel/wind and gradient of the road?
