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?
Oh and best 1/8th was 8.42.
Hopefully not both ways on an on rampMy plan is to do the run both ways on the same stretch of road and average them together
If you put down a video deposit now, I will do that video for you. Expect delivery in 2-4 months.First person to post a legit AWD video review (with side by side RWD 0-60) I'll donate $20 to your Patreon or whatever charity.
Let's see if we can't incentivize what we the people wanna see.
What was the mph on that 1/8 mile run? As another point of reference from drag strip videos online I see the P3 doing anywhere from 7.54 @ 94mph to 7.8 @ 90mph Model 3 LR did around 9.0 @ 83mph. Basically, the AWD seems to be right were Tesla places it in their specs ....at around the 40% of the P3 mark through the 1/8th mile anyway.
I saw a YouTube video which highlighted an interesting fact I wasn’t aware of.
He said the AWD has more acceleration.
That we all know.
But he also said it had more acceleration at speed, than the RWD.
That makes sense, but he said it makes a big difference when passing at speed etc.

That all makes sense. I have a AWD that was supposed to be delivered this week but I put it off. I have an 85D and not sure I can part withe the performance difference. My car feels very close to the M3 P I drove.
base on my research, the 85D has more initial launch compare to AWD non-P. However, once you get it moving, M3 AWD catches up and ends up having same 1/4 time. 85D will beat the Model 3 AWD from 0-60 and then the M3 AWD will accelerate better after that.
AWD 4.55s 0-60, 4.26s w/ 1 foot rollout (VBOX Sport)
0-60ft 2.17s w/ 1 foot rollout (2.39s without)
I wanted to get the 10mph splits but for some reason the app is only giving me a few measurements. I can probably pull the data off the SD card and get it.
30-70 3.56s
50-70 2.06s
Definitely doesn’t have a lot of jerk off the line like the P or launching a turbo Subaru. The 30-70 acceleration feels very strong.

The LRD does seem tamer off the line than the 3P but it’s the passing times that matter more to me. For those, the LRD is better than half way between the LR and 3P.
30-50mph
LR: 1.9s
LRD: 1.5s ...21% faster than LR
P: 1.2s ...20% faster LRD
50-70mph
LR: 2.8s
LRD: 2.1s ...25% faster than LR
P: 1.7s ...19% faster than LRD
I got a RWD Model 3, only had it for a week and had MANY paint problems, took it in and got a loaner, Model S P90D. Really have been enjoying the dual motor handling and the Ludacrous mode acceleration...Had it couple weeks now....and I still do. So I've driven a fully decked out Model S more than my Model 3!
So Tesla will be buying back my Model 3 because it needed a full repaint, and I have to order a new one. Definitely thinking about upgrading to AWD this time....
Only concern other than the additional $5k now is the loss of range. I'd like to see more of these comparisons to RWD and or explanation of "is it really a big deal?"
