GoFundMe to Dyno the AWD (non-Performance)

[Wildbill]

It appears that no one has Dyno'd a Model 3 AWD

In another thread, a member has started a GoFundMe to Dyno his Model 3 AWD. He will share the results:

I'm happy to have my M3D dyno'd and share the results with all here. I can setup a go fund me. think the dyno runs in my area are about $100 for 3 runs. Let me know the interest and i'll do it!

Edit: setup go fundme: local shop said they can do it ASAP and interested to see results as well!

I decided to create another thread for more visibility.

I have put on money into the fund. Hopefully, more people are willing to put in few bucks to get this done.

wait, what??? seriously?

Some cant afford $100 for a car that costs over $50k??

I think it’s more a question of doing the community a service by providing the data...with no out of pocket costs. Seems fair.

Agreed. To me, it’s not as much about the money as it is taking time out of your day to make it happen. It’s worth throwing a few bucks in to satisfy my curiosity.

The problem is finding a dyno that works for an AWD with dual motors.

That is interesting. I did not know that a special Dyno is needed for dual motor. That would make sense, since you need to test on both the front and rear wheels/motor at the same time. But there must be some Dyno out there that can test AWD.

If this is true, this may explain why no one has Dyno'd AWD or the performance Model 3

AWD dynos are somewhat rare, but you can find them. What we need is a linked AWD dyno which are apparently very rare. I couldn't find one anywhere in the KC area and others have had similar luck.

 

[chracatoa]

Yes, Dynos. I totally know what you're talking about. We should have more of those things, dynos.

I have heard of some absurd GoFundMe causes but this one takes the cake so far. And now there are two threads pushing this nonsense?

 

[ebmcs03]

GoFundMe to pay off my model 3 please.

Sure. Contribute to mine first. Once it's paid off I'll start helping pay for yours.

What a joke,, these lame go-begging accounts are getting out of hand..

 

[WileyTheMan]

Personally I'd wait for some YouTuber to do it for subs, but hey, I'm sure there's enough people willing to throw money at this.

What’s a better way to pool resources? Everyone benefits from the results equally. It isn’t worth it to me to waste a hundred dollars and half a day to satisfy my curiosity, but what’s the harm in kicking in ten bucks?

 

[ScottFrancis]

So I see there are some haters, good news, you don’t have to donate. But as others have said just looking to pool our money for collective curiosity.

I found a linked awd dyno in my area and have an apt for next wed around 5pm est. Anyone in the Richmond VA area is welcome to come watch in person, just dm me for info. I plan to upload results shortly afterwards.

And some more good news! I was able to get the shop to throw in the air/fuel ratio monitoring for free!


Now for the tough question - what state of charge to start at? I was thinking 70% but open to discussions.

Air fuel monitoring for free. That's a good deal.

You should also make sure he includes the altitude correction factor too!

 

[spesler]

Maybe they can adjust your boost maps while you are there.

I’d vote for greater than or equal to 80% charge to get a peek at peak output.

I think you are forgetting that OP has a vested self-interest

If one cares, they should do it. But gofundme? naw...
