Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

[Lets go Plaid]

Are those with chrome trim?

No, protection tape for shipping.

 

[ODWms]

Ahhh. Thanks.

 

[terranx]

Are those with chrome trim?

No. The protective wrap they use for transportation just happens to look like chrome trim from a distance.

 

[Lets go Plaid]

Plenty of RHD variants with the LG pack fanging around Shanghai at the moment. Unfortunately my Mandarin is a bit rusty.

Na, on the closeups you can see it's just the delivery protective wrap

 

[jyavenard]

Are those with chrome trim?

Aren’t they all black trim these days?

I wish it was still chrome (Aussie here). But no longer available since 2021

 

[Jeremy3292]

It’s just white protective wrapping guys lol. They always ship like that

 

[12B4A]

Hey gusy, I think that's protective wrapping and not chrome.

Drone video from outside Shanghai, there is thousands of new M3P's ready to be shipped, probably already on a boat.

I'm curious if anyone is familiar with the shipping logistics for MIC cars to get to parts of Europe. Do they make their way through the Indian Ocean, around Africa, and then through the Atlantic to ship to European countries? Or does it get transported on trucks and trains all the way through Asia, Middle East, and then Europe?

Edit: or do they go north around Russia?

Ships to Belgium/UK/Slovenia/Barcelona via Suez canal then road to destination.

Someone was asking about acceleration figures for LG pack in the comments, to which the reviewer replied: “The Acceleration above 100km/h I would say is not hard to push to around 200km/h

I haven't try 1/4 or 1/8 mile time

But 0-100km/h test, around 3.23s with 51% SOC and ESC on”

bodes well.

At 60mph The old m3p dropped off significantly at 50% soc compared to above 90%, probably more than 60hp.

So in no form slower, at least to 100 kmh than Panasonic. Rollout is rarely subtracted outside the US, so a 3.23 true 0 to 100kmh easily translates to a 2.9 0-60 with rollout subtracted. Now someone please start testing the 1/4 mile times!!

One US reviewer already did timed runs and got 2.9 (averaged two ways) without rollout with a passenger onboard. However, SOC was 90%

Tire Rack has the front tires but not the 275/30/20 rear tires.

I don't think this is correct, Cammisa didn't specify his runs were with or without rollout, which almost certainly means they were WITH rollout subtracted.

That would most likely be a 2.9s true 0-60 mph without subtracting rollout.

 

[mpgxsvcd]

I don't think this is correct, Cammisa didn't specify his runs were with or without rollout, which almost certainly means they were WITH rollout subtracted.

He stated that the old Model 3 "0-60 mph is about 3.2, 3.3" in his video. That is accurate if he isn't subtracting rollout for a 100% stock car with a 200 lb driver.

Boat. Probably around Africa now since very little shipping companies go via the Red Sea anymore.

I did a writeup of how important 60' times can be for 1/4 mile times even when trap speeds don't change hardly at all. I had to make it a separate thread so I could include Dragy screenshots or else it just wouldn't make sense. If anyone is curious here is that thread.

This is how important the 60 foot time is for the 1/4 mile

Everyone is wondering how much better the Model 3 Performance time can get with the new vehicle. This post will attempt to show how impactful a very small decrease in 60 foot time can be for your total 1/4 mile time. I have 4 separate runs down the same lane of the same track with my 2022 Model...
