Just got the 2018.8.2 update with the 5% power increase in my Mid Range. I didn't buy this car for its performance but I bought it banking on the fact it would get quicker when the SR was released. Although she's not the fastest car, she will be my SCCA AutoX car this year (hoping the lightest weight Model 3 is going to help around an AutoX course). The thing that's amazing with Teslas is that they are incredibly consistent with their times, they would be hard to beat for bracket racing.
Pre Model 3 "uncorking" the car ran consistent 5.6 0-60's with one 1/4 mile pass of [email protected] @ ~83% battery SOC. Took it out today and knocked off consistent 5.2 0-60's with a similar ~83% battery SOC. I didn't get a chance to do a 1/4 mile pass but I will be sure to update when I do. Obviously all Teslas with the exception of the the performance models are programmed to be sandbagged off the line but there is a very noticeable difference in the mid range say 30-40+ roll on, feels very strong and I wouldn't be surprised if it was was at least a few tenths of a second with some more MPH on the quarter mile as well.
