A Few Quick Further P3D Driving Impressions

[calvan]

Do you think I would regret getting awd instead of performance? Wife said if I drop autopilot (and possibly add down the road) I get the thumbs up on per gown every. Having driven it for a couple days now I’m curious on your opinion

P is probably incompatible with EAP anyway.

EAP algo drives in chill mode.

Go for the P.

*performance, damn autocorrect

Power is stellar.

Ride is very good ... about the same as 3LR with gen 2 suspension. Perhaps slightly more floaty, jiggly, even at 41 psi ... but, of course, that's with brand new tires/shocks.

@ForeverFree Tesla seems to have worked on suspension since the early Model 3 days last year. Did you notice any body roll when cornering with high power/acceleration on topanga canyon/Sepulveda ? And can you notice the difference in acceleration between Chill and Sport mode? Want to see if I can be in Chill mode when taking family and not make them dizzy Lastly after a week or so it will be great to understand the real range of P3D? Telsa/EPA still says 310, but do you really get any close to that range? Even if you get close to 275, Im willing to upgrade to P.

Does it feel faster than P85D ?

Definitely ... but not by a huge amount.

Again, the feeling is definitely 3.5-ish.

As fast as I would ever want or need.

100D had me on the edge of blacking out ... literally.

Just curious if youve driven a P85D? They do 0-60 in 3.2, so that is faster than a P3D if it only hits 3.5s

Does the front motor in the AWD edition impact the size of the frunk at all?

 

[boriszima]

That’s awesome. I am sure you are enjoying your cars now.

Autopilot works fine with P, AWD, or LR.

My P85D consistently does 3.5 to 4 seconds. I rarely ever get anything faster than that.
I’m using Power Tools to measure my time. See pics... Any chance you can run PowerTools on a few 0-60 runs?

Yes @ForeverFree it would be awesome to get some powertools data if youre up to it. Bet @Krash would like to get ahold of some samples.

@ForeverFree. Here's the link to help you get there faster.

‎PowerTools For Tesla on the App Store

I guarantee he can't tell the difference between 3.5 and 3.2 0-60.

PowerTools should put the question to rest. (If you believe in the info from PowerTools and do multiple runs.)

 

[AMP3Dm3]

I have a draggy, I'll have mine on August 7th if no one beats me to it I'll post my numbers

 

[bradhs]

Have you guys gotten a VIN assigned? I ordered June 26th and still no VIN.

 

[AMP3Dm3]

Vin assigned and delivery date.

Autopilot works fine with P, AWD, or LR.

Comment was facetious as I was implying AP doesn’t utilize the power of P.

Scenario:
If you were at a freeway ramp that was controlled by a light and you were the 2nd car - and lead car clears the lane for you - do you get to 60mph in 3.5 seconds?

EAP doesn’t gun to max throttle.

Nope. Same size.
