Can't imagine how it could be. The car isn't traction limited in the first place, nor is anything in need of extra cooling for a 0-60 run, and you're not doing any cornering or braking during it either.

On previous firmware I've seen verified times of 11.67. So I don't think it's a big stretch to knock 1/10 off of that. Most all of the quarter mile times that I've seen on the new firmware have been in pretty cold temperatures. Battery output is down a bit potentially anyway depending on how much work the batteries been doing, and air temperature of course means you're pushing denser air out of the way. I'll see if I can find the link for this guy's results.
I think without stripping out the interior on a really hot day we'll see the first 11.5x and a trap speed above 116.

SOC vs power and torque output

This guy ran an 11.58. I think this is recent and so possibly since the update.

Folks are saying 2019.12 adds a lot more power. Wondering if it will make 0-60 drop below 3 secs and 1/4 mile in <11 secs.

No
Power was already added in 8.x, there's no more in .12, and it's not that much to begin with.

2019.12 has only 1.9% on Teslafi so I doubt anyone has actually tested on it, or atleast I've not heard any reports on it anywhere yet. It seems to be in a freeze as it's stayed at this amount for the better part of this last week. Maybe Tesla is analyzing data from the fleet to make sure it's safe before wider rollout.

Posted elsewhere about this, finally. Your data appears correct. It differs in the implied torque above 45mph though - plenty of torque increase below 45mph, but I didn't see evidence of ANY significant torque increase in my 45-60mph times. Doesn't make any sense, but that is consistently what I saw. Maybe my car is a dud. They accidentally pulled a motor from the wrong bin perhaps?
Here is my recent post:
P3D+ Acceleration

Hmm, I'm not good at reading graphs but it seems like from 10mph-40mph is where it's suppose to be the most noticeable?
I notice the car is quicker from 30mph and up, mostly around 40mph, when I stomp on it, it's like a Model S P85D launch.
I feel the difference when I stomp on it while cruising at 20mph vs 30mph vs 40mph and 40mph has the strongest hit. Anyone else feel the same?

That is my P3D, is your car a P3D? It's about the same % more powerful at all speeds up to 100 mph.
I have a P3D+. That's interesting cause it feels stronger at 40mph. The update even said there's more power at "higher speeds" but didn't entail at what speed.

Yep, that statement is what caused some conversation earlier in the thread because my data showed more torque AND more power, when the expectation was just more power. More torque = what you see in my graphs, a step change in acceleration starting at 5 mph and holding the step change from there to 100+ mph. Just more power would have shown that step change only after ~40 mph. @AlanSubie4Life has mostly confirmed my data using his VBOX, so the "more power" statement, while technically true, appears to have actually undersold the improvements.
My model 3 performance stealth with the 12.1.2 update can go 162mph now

I guess since the release notes say it can maintain power more readily at higher speeds for longer periods, I will have to check to see whether my poor quality motor can actually hold the higher peak power at 90% SoC when I am not in track mode. Last I checked it was pulling power above 45mph at a 92% SoC unless I turned on track mode. My motor is probably hot garbage though. Accidentally got pulled from the reject bin, destined for the regular AWD, maybe. Production hell!
