According to DragTimes the latest power update now rockets the M3P up to 60 mph in just 2.9s
Can anyone confirm?

Model 3 Performance 0-60 time of 2.998 achieved by DragTimes with V2019.36.2.1 (1 ft rollout)
- Thread starter Sutton 3P
- Start date
Yes, everyone uses roll-out. That is the standard method and the only way you can compare apples to apples with other cars.
I should update this to say the time is actually 2.998s. Still super impressive.
What the hell is roll out. This is the only forum I see it mentioned.

Magazines, and drag racers use roll-out. But for the everyday person, 0-60 does not occur with timing lights on a drag strip, so it's much more useful to have actual 0-60 times.
But I will still brag that I have a sub 3 second car...
I'm not convinced its reasonable to go around telling everyone it does 0-60 in 2.9 when it was just the one test, with roll out, and it was under 3 by 0.002 seconds...
But yeah, presumably if someone wants to beat on the car to heat the pack, and charge it to 100% right at a track, it could beat that time by a bit.

It sounds like something a bunch of upset people invented to prove how they lost.
At one point, the M5 was faster than the Model 3 P on paper at 3.1 0-60.
In the real world, that M5 wouldn't do *sugar* at a red light next to 3P. The perfect launch needed to achieve 3.1 isn't going to happen.
The 3.2 second Model 3 P "smokes" it every time at the light.
Despite never personally achieving it, an M5 owner will say they have a 3.1 0-60 second car.
So yes, we can claim a Model 3 P is sub 3 seconds due to the agreed standard with respect to rollout.

I know this is a M3 performance thread, but have any numbers been posted for the AWD improvements ?

Seems the right time to remind everyone Tesla extra-cheats in their advertised times....
All P models of their cars list 0-60 with rollout.
Non-P models don't.
Anyway it's looking like the rollout #s post-latest-power-bump are about 3.0 (with one guy having managed a 2.998) for the P and 3.9 (at least one guy having hit 3.86) for the AWD.... which is pretty consistent gap-wise with the 3.1 and 4.0 car mags were getting with each previous to this update and using rollout.
~3.9 0-60 (3.86 is the best draggy result I've seen).... 1/4 mile around 12.2-12.3@115

Forget parscing the details. This is a remarkable achievement for the Model 3.
Car is fast as Hell. Great fun to drive, and pretty much is capable of embarassing most any other performance street driven car at a stop light.
Supercar performance you can park in your own garage.

For ICE cars, the 0-60 is much harder to achieve the magazine times. Those mags beat the crap out of the car and do like 20 launches to get the best times. The Model 3 is extremely consistent and will do the advertised times easily with a high SoC. The 0-60 in a Tesla is more real than all the other 0-60 times.

Sadly the BMW M5 is only available with an automatic transmission and AWD so getting a good launch is easy. BMW advertises it as 0-60 3.1s because they don't use rollout. Magazines get 2.8s with rollout so I'm guessing BMW owners say they can do 2.8sAt one point, the M5 was faster than the Model 3 P on paper at 3.1 0-60.

This is also why folks always insist "BMW under-rate their cars"
No, they don't... they just don't use the exact same method of measurement Ford/GM and US car mags do.
