7% is rediculous. I ride that regularly on a bicycle. unrideable for a normal casual cyclist for longer than a few meters.

If you change the Michelin All Season tires over to the Michelin Pilot Super Sport 4S's you will see an increase in performance (decrease) in the 0-60 times, the All Seasons can't keep the traction, so the traction control will kick in and limit HP and wheel spin...and you won't even notice it due to the high level of control Tesla has over the electric motors. you can add them to the 18 inch wheels for $210 per tireno prob guys. i was also awaiting numbers from anyone prior to mine, but i guess no one else before me was interested in getting them?? im seriously looking forward to reaching the usual 0.5-0.6 second "overshoot" as the other models but now i don't think that's possible as it's hard to reach even the claimed 3.5s, let alone joining the high 2s club.
im charging it right now but it's trickling along on my 110v. going to take all day to bring it above 90%. might just bring it over to my dad's 220v wall connector for an hour.
it's on the stock 18's with the aero hubs off.

Sorry, meant to do it yesterday before getting tint done but had to delay to later today (it was 90 miles round trip and had to trickle charge again afterwards.)
Will update soon!
I'm definitely considering it...
So....good news I did a couple more runs. Charged to 98%, creep setting off. The noisy video I had the AC on full blast. Silent one, it's off. Hearing the motor whine is nice for a change.
Bad news is that they're not any better, in fact they are worse. The only thing I can think of is that the satellites were reportedly low (thus possibly skewing results. It says invalid on the report everytime this happens). All things considered, yes these are horrible numbers, but they may not be 100% accurate.
Optimal sub (official) 0-60 times still within reach, the conditions just have to be unicorn ideal. You can definitely feel the "g" pull just a little bit more at this soc.

This is really interesting data. The more I see, the more confident I am that M3P is over-powered by a significant margin. In other words, it is greatly constrained by grip. Data from uphill tests, and tests with 3 passengers, all have proven to be equal or better results. Comes down to needing more grip. About the only Q I have regarding stock aero setup is, using these "optimal" conditions, try it with 3% and 5%+ grade hill to see the delta. My bet is that you will see the best results.
Edit: Basically what I'm getting at is to determine the specific % of untapped power. Using the grade is a low-tech-semi-accurate method for determining this. If you see equal 0-60 at a 7% grade, this is an indicator of 7% untapped potential.

I didn't get a chance to isolate it. Will definitely add to my list when I can get the satellite issue fixed.
That's what I meant, to test with inclines. Go uphill to increase downward force. Once you start slowing down you'll have a better idea of potential with increased grip.
Here's some ideas you could try:
1. Slipstart/vs no slipstart
2. Warmed up battery. P100D has an option to heat the battery which P3D does not, so you'll have to do a few hard pulls first (maybe 2-3) to get things warmed up.
3. Warmed up tires (Drive on the highway for a while)
4. Launch techniques (Hold/Flooring vs Braking/Flooring (2 foot))
I didn't share them because I was hoping to get better numbers. Gimme a sec..I'll post em up

These that you posted wont be shared with community because the downslope is too much.... that's why they read as "invalid". Slope has to be greater than -1% to be valid.... then can be put on leaderboards.

Not to veer too OT... but does anyone know the differences between a Vbox and Draggy for acceleration timing?
Since Vbox is much more expensive... does it make your car go faster?
