Hello, I just came back from Sonoma Raceway's Wednesday Night Drags this week. Its been years since I've dragged race and it felt nostalgic from my young Honda days 
I brought a MS 75D on 21" Tires and Glass roof. I unloaded the car, re-torqued the wheels and set the tires to 43 PSI (they were still warm). I only had 3 passes on the afternoon but it was still fun. Wished I had more time to dial in the car; hence why I need some advise for the future!
1. Regardless of the car, are you guys getting better straight line performance on 19" or 21"? And at what tire PSI?
2. Being a Non-Performance car...does the MS get better launch times with Slip Start activated or OFF? I never saw the traction control light flash and I don't have Launch Mode.
Saw a couple of Performance 3s but only talked to one of the owners when he was looking for the tech lane. Both were hitting 11.6-11.7. I went with a couple of gas guzzling ICE cars (A rotary and a Honda powered Toyota) and I had to help them carry gas. Something felt really wrong about carrying gas in the Tesla
My 3rd Pass was the best, but I let off the accelerator at the end since it was Elimination Rounds for Bracket Racing. I still broke out and lost. *Look how dialed in my competitor was; 13.393 on a 13.39 (Late 90's Firebird)
Temp: Mid-70's
1/4: 12.788
MPH: 101.26
SOC: ~82%
Here's some pics to keep you interested and TIA for the help.
