@cinergi: thanks -- nice view of the green there at the end, which left to reveal a familiar Very Orange Roadster.
@EdA: I take it your were driving a bit conservatively? Didn't seem to have the kick that some other drivers experienced.
That would have been a real trick as the Blue wasn't at the NY event.Cinergi, your amazing. Thank you for all the video! Shame you didn't get the blue but that's kind of a weak request compared to all the things you got (which is everything).
Thank you again!
So with a GVWR of 5,664lbs and with a curb weight of 4,647lbs, that leaves a payload capacity of about 1,000lbs or so. For a 7-seater with loads of cargo, that seems a little on the light side. Does anyone know if that GVWR varies with the type of suspension you opt for (e.g. air vs. the std springs)?
Notice the 42 PSI? :scared:
I noticed it but my road bike takes 110psi pumped by hand...so I'm over that fear.

First thought: it's a hypermiling trick! I've slightly overinflated (above std. recommendation) my tires and it really does make a difference. On such a heavy car I would imagine that a higher PSI would significantly decrease rolling resistance. I wonder if there is some Tesla-magic involved in keeping the car controllable and comfortable with such a high PSI.
Side note: in most of Europe 42 PSI would be 2.9 bar. Does any country actually use SI-proper 290 kPa as indicated on the Tesla sticker?
This may be coming from a place of ignorance, but is the concern with the higher PSI control and specifically roll over risk. I remember when the Ford Explorers were all flipping it was linked, in part, to over inflated tires. Given the low center of gravity might that mitigate the risk of the high PSI?

And you draw the conclusion that the Amped events are a representative sample of normal driving conditions and statistically significant?
