I attended a small course autocross event at Sonoma Raceway yesterday with my stock 2019 P3D.
Being a very short course with not too many people, I had a chance to do more runs than my body could handle.
The car was a champ!
This was my third autocross (I'm no expert and this is more "for fun"). I previously did this in a VW Golf R. I was impressed by how tail happy the Model 3 can be (spun out multiple times), but also felt how darn heavy this car is...snap oversteer is basically unrecoverable under most situations I tried yesterday.
I drained ~40% battery throughout the day at around ~1,600wh/mi.
Another P3D was there, also stock, and we ran different tire pressures. His was 42 cold, mine was 45 cold. His tires were worse for wear getting down to the sidewall area.
Excited to get on the track with this car, but need to wait for charging infrastructure. Another Model 3 driver who was on track yesterday was struggling at Sonoma.
Here's a short video of the day's events. A good mix of cars and great people.
