Does P100D require warming battery for 0-60 in 2.5 seconds?

My P85D with Ludicrous has a warm battery button to achieve 0-60 MPH in 2.9 seconds. I believe the wait period can be like 40 minutes, which I have never done.

I wonder if the P100D also has a button for warming to achieve 0-60 MPH in 2.5 seconds.

i don't know how to time it, but it feels ridiculously fast even without battery warming. in fact, my butt dyno can't tell a difference between launches i've done with Max Battery on and off.

how long the warm up process takes depends on the outdoor temp more than anything. when i got the car in September, it was warm, and battery warmup only took like 15 minutes. now it's below freezing and it says it takes and hour plus, but if i drive around it seems to warm up faster than that. either way, like i said, it doesn't seem to make much difference whether the battery is warmed or not.

PS - what's the best app for timing your 0-60 runs?

Only if the battery is really cold. If you've been driving for a while or even supercharge for a good 20 minutes, you'll notice that it already says "ready" if you activate max battery or at the very least it will say something like ready in 5 minutes.
