There's a dragy run post on reddit. Car did 11.0@123mph on wet pavement. Easily a 10 second car.I can't believe the distinct lack of strip times in here for a car that has been out a month.

They don't want it to beat the cyberbeast ^^Cue the conspiracy folks insisting it's a software limit to not run 10s....
I listened to his driving comments and his comments made total sense vs my opinion of previous Model 3. Previous one needed square 265 or 275 to have enough front grip for any kind of track/AutoX driving. Suspension/weight is the same minus shocks on this one, so this remark with stay trueI don’t know how much Kyle actually knows tbh. I think he’s just a regular guy who became a YouTuber, same as anyone else could do on here. Theres a lot of those guys around these days who just read forums and don’t actually know anything more. He’s not someone like Jason Cammisa who actually knows his stuff. Not sure why 235 would be an undersized (problem) tire also

It’s the weight of the car. 235 is small for the weight we carry.I agree. It's a personal preference obviously, but I prefer the steering feel, turn in, and overall handling of a staggered setup vs. that of a square setup. 235 up front feels like it should be enough tire, but maybe I'm missing something.
So what does that mean in reality? The car only weighs 4k lbs. Not really that heavy at allIt’s the weight of the car. 235 is small for the weight we carry.

What is he referring to about the Long Range Model 3 having slower charging batteries? Can someone who understands battery chemistry explain the difference between the batteries in the RWD, LR and M3P?Kyle of Out of Spec Reviews drives the new M3P.
LR uses LG cells that have worse performance relative to Panasonic/Giga Nevada cells.What is he referring to about the Long Range Model 3 having slower charging batteries? Can someone who understands battery chemistry explain the difference between the batteries in the RWD, LR and M3P?
and lower capacity. They really need to lower the price on the LR...LR uses LG cells that have worse performance relative to Panasonic/Giga Nevada cells.
That doesn’t really answer the question though? That’s just a comparison to another vehicle.The M3 Competition Xdrive is 4000Lbs or close and carries 275 front and 285 rear. 4000 Lbs is heavy..
I personally think he oversold how “terrible” the long range is. The long range price is indeed too high, but it’s not a terrible car or something not worth buying. He also just assumes everyone qualifies for the tax credit and that the tax credit will be around forever. Plus he talked a lot about swapping parts and rims and this and that for the P to make it a LR basically, but 99% of buyers don’t do things like that. A staggered 20” summer tire setup is a big turnoff for a lot of “regular” people who just want a solid daily driver. The LR fits that bill for most people. I also tend to dislike when videos just seem to be hype videos and nothing else (like this one).What is he referring to about the Long Range Model 3 having slower charging batteries?

Based on my drag strip experiences with the old P3D that sounds like the new one knocks at least a half second off the 1/4 mile and traps over 5mph higher. If these times are accurate it seems inevitable that people will run high 10s at the track. That is a pretty solid upgrade from the old one IMO and is an unbelievable value at that price.So far three different owners have uploaded 1/4 mile results to dragy - 11.03, 11.03, and 11.09 (wet).
Reference I came to find about 7-8 days ago testing New M3P vs Old M3P vs 2021+ S LR.Based on my drag strip experiences with the old P3D that sounds like the new one knocks at least a half second off the 1/4 mile and traps over 5mph higher.

Tire contact patch limits our ability to accelerate in any direction. This is why the new M3P has wider tires in back. The 235 width tire was a limiting factor slowing acceleration in the old car, so one way they made it faster is to add more tire.That doesn’t really answer the question though? That’s just a comparison to another vehicle.
