AWD Non-performance 0-60 tests?

Has anyone seen any real world posts about the 0-60 on the AWD non-performance? Just curious how it compares to my X 90D, also curious to see if people are getting better or worse than advertised.

I'd like to see some passing performance tests as well (e.g. 30-60)

I was quite surprised how much slower a "faster" Model S felt hitting it at 50 MPH compared to an AWD M3. I think the AWD MYs will really shine when already rolling. It seems that the 0-30 is software limited to be very fast instead of crazy fast unless we pony up the extra $8k for the performance model

Perception of acceleration can be very deceiving. As an example, a sudden increase in torque feels much faster than a higher torque being applied very evenly, even when the latter could be faster overall.

A lot more base AWD Model Y's have been delivered since the last reply to this thread. Has anyone seen some accurate 0-60 runs?

Also curious to see if there's a difference between the "E" and "F" versions of the base AWD.

I had a model S 75D loaner and it felt quicker. Could be just perception but it sure sends my neck snappy back with ease...

I wish I could chime in with a number but having owned several sports cars (modded and stock), the Long Range Y on my test drive was PLENTY quick! My full-bolt on 335i may have been barely quicker but traction was always an issue. AWD would have whooped it off the line and ofcourse with an EV, no downshifting when passing 30-60.

I haven't timed it... the numbers go so fast, it will be tough. Judging by the smiles of everyone who's floored mine, it's pretty fast!

Torque (on Android) can measure 0-60. Not sure how accurate it is though... it uses GPS for speed (I don't think there is an ODB2 port). I just did 3 tests... 7.0, 5.0, 2.0. By my count it was about 5, so I think they're pretty close to the advertised 4.8.

Yep, in the real world having instantaneous power and 4wd traction will make it faster than almost any ICE car in real world driving situation unless on the autobahn. I had a Hellcat and it was so frustrating to not be able to put the power down until over 60 mph. I'm scheduled to get me MY LR this month, can't wait.

Surprised you didn't get the performance!
