That is a THICK set of rubber.

It sure looks like they're going to keep shipping with summer tires. I've always wanted to keep an extra set of wheels/tires in my garage.

 

[MODEL+]

I'm assuming most likely same staggered configuration as Model Y Performance.

9.5/10.5" Wheels
255/275 Tires

For an EV.
The C8 Corvette E-Ray (same weight) comes with 275's as well.
On the front.
345's on the rear.

My bet is 8.5/10 with 235/275

2.9 with or without rollout lol

 

[gearchruncher]

heard 0-60 is 2.9s

That's gonna be a major turnoff to many existing owners. That's basically not noticeable against current times. Which is what all the tweets below are saying as well. It appears Tesla is basically just aligning 0-60 with the cost of the car.

2.9 with or without rollout lol

As if you have to ask when it comes to Tesla squeaking in 0.1 below 3.0.

I still don’t know why people were expecting a mid 2 sec 0-60. The 1/4mi and mph I’ll be very curious about. I still think it looks gorgeous in ultra red and the blue. Just like the MS.
The price will be huuuge here if that time is correct. It would be right in line with MS times for 0-60 without factored rollout so the 1/4 will be interesting

 

[spennnyy]

Could be 2.9 with default "Insane" mode, then another DLC "Ludicrous(+)" mode?

Really just want to know the price to decide on LR or Performance.

I dont see a point to "Insane Mode" if it only drops the 0-60 .2 seconds lol.

2.9 is a huge disappointment - if that's the case.

Lets wait until we hear from the source but not worth the upgrade.

100% Stock Model 3 Performance with Uberheavy wheels was 3.04 seconds 0-60 mph with rollout subtracted. This car absolutely has to be faster than 2.9 with rollout subtracted.

This would make sense. $55k to get tax credit, the ludicrous mode is a DLC. some will hate this, but i'd just be happy it was available.

More like .05 seconds.

 

[cptnslo]

What’s the average 0-60 of the current M3P? Isn’t it in the mid to low 3?
I’m a MS owner so I’m not up to date on that

2.9s 0-60 oh nooooooooooo

 

[Jeremy3292]

People seem to be confusing what they tested or what the world tested for a 0-60 time vs what Tesla says in their specs

The old M3P was 3.1 seconds listed time with rollout subtracted. The new Ludicrous M3P is allegedly 2.9 seconds listed time - with or without rollout we don’t know. Also 2.9 is speculative anyways.

Compare listed times to listed times, not real world times. Could be faster in real world tests later.
