if you tell people it's $2000 for half a second, that sounds like nothing, but if you tell them the car picks up what, 75 horsepower? it sounds like more. that's like going from the 4 to the 6 cylinder on a BMW.

I think many people new to Tesla have never worked on a car much less understand what some people will do for 5hp. I remember adding cold air intakes and headers to my D series Honda for all of 10hp in my late teens. On a 125hp engine it was noticeable. On a 400hp+ car the 50hp is unnecessary for most.if you tell people it's $2000 for half a second, that sounds like nothing, but if you tell them the car picks up what, 75 horsepower? it sounds like more. that's like going from the 4 to the 6 cylinder on a BMW.
Do you think draggy is more or less accurate then measuring zero to 60 from CAN bus data? Refresh rate on CAN bus is quite a bit faster than 10hz. But the CAN bus speed data is presumably coming from wheel sensors of unknown accuracy.Phone apps are not that accurate. Draggy has a 10hz gps sensor, your phone is likely a 1 hz.

I've seen many videos that provide the validity of how good a Draggy is at the strip. I haven't seen the same level of scrutiny from CANbus data.

I'm hoping someone will please tell me that the battery needs to sufficiently warm up before doing a 0-60 sprint. This morning I tested it again (I haven't really been able to test it much), but still using an app called drag racer...I know it's not that accurate, but I got a 4.5s time. It was about 2 minutes after I pulled out of my garage. It was a completely level road.
It's not only that, it definitely felt slower. I know, the butt dyno isn't always accurate, but this time I'm sure - it felt like 4.5s...which of course is ridiculous because I have the boost, and that's even slower than if I DIDN'T have the boost! So, I'll try not to be too upset about it, I'll chalk it up to the battery not being warmed up.
Now I'll just have to do a good bit more testing 0-60... I'm hoping it was just a fluke. we'll see!

If you're really particular about the metrics of your 0-60 launches, you might as well just get the dragy. The app you're using is already inaccurate and it's already reinforcing whatever thoughts you have about the speed of your car.
If your battery is in 70 degree ambient temps, it shouldn't be that slow. I could understand it being slower if its 40 degrees but summer temps don't seem to affect 0-60 that much. SoC is much more impactful to feel...were you fully charged?
Buy a consistent and accurate measuring device.
Unless or until you do so you're just wasting a lot of time and worrying without any basis for doing so.
For those considering the “undetectable” Ingenext Boost 50, it looks like Tesla can remotely detect it on the latest firmware.

Tesla can slow and obstruct now, but in the future there will be a large market for 3rd party management, service, and performance. Too much money to made once EVs are as numerous as ICE, and Tesla’s limited parts and service infrastructure will only expedite it.
