My local strip is North Star raceway just outside Denton, TX. Great facility and the track prep was outstanding. I've had my P85D for over a year and have been eagerly waiting for a chance to see what the vehicle will do on an eighth mile raceway.
First run was 7.3388 @ 92.33mph, 94% SOC. Max battery on and creep mode off. Low suspension and tire psi at 47. Car has 28,000 miles.
Last run of the day was the best 7.2921 @ 93.07, 88% SOC. Didn't use launch control on any run, so maybe the times can get better.
I still can't believe most people at this strip didn't know what a Tesla is and what it can do. I had fun explaining all the features. I was hoping to get close to a 7.50 time and to my surprise this car did much better. Posted the time slips below.
If you get the chance, head out to your local dragstrip and you won't regret it. It's a lot of fun to see and talk about all kinds of different vehicles.
