Anxiously waiting an AWD review / videos

WHAT? That's wayyyyy too slow. It's definitely 12.8s
There's one that "Electric Israeli" posted on YouTube but it's about the worst possible review you could imagine - especially his acceleration "test" vs RWD. See for yourself.
So I've done a couple of dragy runs finally today but the problem is they're not great
I've never done anything like this before so had reached out to the guy who lent me it to see if I'm doing something wrong but long story short: 4.67, 4.78, 4.78.
Any ideas of what I'm (hopefully) doing wrong? I had it in the high 80s for battery level, roads weren't sloped or anything, stopped and pressed the brake to get in hold mode, then floor it.
I realized after the fact I had the AC and streaming music on, does that impact things? Should I put it in Park, then Drive instead of Hold? Other ideas???

upload the video!

No video I'm afraid lol, I don't have any sort of mount so it's probably going to require a second person for that since if I just stick it in the cupholder it goes flying
I want to see a review of the AWD in the snow...curse you climate change!!!

That might be the actual speed of the car... although it would be uncharacteristic for Tesla to advertise a speed that consumers/reviewers can't easily obtain or beat.

Bummer. Is there a "1 ft rollout" setting in Dragy that perhaps isn't enabled?

In talking with the guy who lent it to me, it sounds like I just need more practice and a better place to do it (I.E. drive out to the boonies). I was having to go about 15 minutes between pulls and just randomly drive around to find straightaways with good roads and no people or other cars. Frankly I was having to rush so much the 4.6 run was the only one I felt decent about so I think there's a couple of tenths there if I can find a better spot. I can use an app to record my screen for the next go arounds if people are interested?
