Alright. Here it is.
First of all, thank you Alan for making clear to me the old data sucked and I had to do a better job.
I put the antenna on the trunk last night and got much cleaner and more reliable stats.
All runs were done with between 95% and 85% SOC and it was on the 2019.5.15 f5def7e software. 18" aero wheels on Winter tires. Flat ground. The performance was almost identical the whole time because as I was draining battery, the drivetrain was heating up. Maybe if I drove it hard, topped off at a supercharger, and ran again I could have squeezed a little more out of it but that really doesn't tell us anything interesting.
To summarize:
All stats are not including the 1 foot roll out which is industry standard across the board. [except with Tesla marketing non P]
Putting the 1 foot back in adds about 0.27 seconds.
The AWD model does 4.0x 0-60 all day long. I ran a best of 3.99 and a slowest of 4.09 with the average right in the middle after ~10+ runs.
1/8 mile: 8.19s @ 91mph
0-100 is just under 10 seconds.
Below are images.
First up is the clean plot of the 0-60. I realized the reason it looks past 4 seconds is that this graph is keeping the one foot rollout, because of course it should. It's the raw data.
This image shows that the speed at the end of the first foot is about 4.13 mph.
This shows us the time to get to ~4.13mph is about 0.27 seconds.
Here are the full stats and splits of the fastest run I got in. Notice the 0-60 and the 5-60 are nearly identical which makes sense based on the above.
Here is the close up of the 3.99 0-60 showing it pass at about 4.25s. 4.25 minus the one foot time of 0.27 is ~3.99. Again, makes sense.
Here, for fun, is a run to nearly 100mph. I was at an indicated 102 or so but should have held on longer as the GPS only saw about 98mph. It gives a sense of the power curve at speed and time.
This image shows us true 0-100 time is a hair over 10 seconds. Subtracting the .027 one foot puts us at about 9.8seconds 0-100. A funny side note. I've driven and reviewed a ton of fast cars. I always said 0-100 in ten seconds is a good time for a street car. It's plenty fast and once you start getting into the 8's it becomes a little too much to drive it hard on the street due to safety reasons and the law man, at least in the tri-state area. But yeah, of course I'd trade for a Performance model.
Please note none of this is to take away from the Performance car's crown. It just shows that that car is about 0.8 seconds faster to 60, not 1.3. Again, I'm basing this on the premise that Tesla includes the one foot rollout for AWD times for all cars other than the Performance for marketing purposes. The difference between a 4.0 car and a 3.2 second car to 60mph is still massive. It wasn't worth 10k to me but if we're ever able to upgrade our AWD cars to M3P- for ~$5k, I'm all in.
Alan, you dig?
Best,
Gene
