Fixed this for you...

It will accelerate better in high speed corners too.

I am still trying to work out where Tesla pulled the 460/510hp numbers for to market the cars though, doesn't seem to make sense.

I think Tesla downplayed the performance gap between the US and MIC cars, by understating the BHP and 0-60 differences, so as to not lose sales of the MIC car.

All of my badges will be coming off

Would you sell that ludicrous emblem?

It's a good question. I think they could no longer sum the peak motor power as before (377kW Panasonic / 393kW LG) because the '24 sum of motor power (461kW) is greater than the battery maximum discharge power. The power has become battery limited.

It's pure speculation but my guess it that at whatever SoC and temperature they chose for 500hp from the Panasonic pack, there is 30kW less from the LG pack. In practice there's 20-50kW less over a range of temperatures and SoC.

lol just saw a much older lady with a new M3P in Denver. Haha good for her.

I think she traded in that Super Stock Dodge and moved out of California.

Or maybe it’s an average of what the car will put out with a full battery and a near empty battery.

Another member scooped it up a while back. Sorry.
