Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[TorqueMonster]

I have the 8.4 MB clip with the timer I exported but I can't upload it directly. Maybe this gif will suffice.

Update: My timing is off since it's measuring by framerate i.e. 29.97 frames a second…

This is awesome and thanks for sharing! Many of us have really been looking for this data! AND, there was two people in the car, right?

As someone here previously mentioned, try match.com

You bet, I've been just as curious haha.

Yes two people (that I know of), Omar (behind the wheel) and Ryan filming. When Dragtimes measured a 2.7 I believe there were at least 3 people inside and he was using a Dragy. Omar, also pointed out that his foot lifted off the accelerator a little bit during launch so that most likely explains the 2.8 second timing.

Any west coast VIN numbers been assigned yet?

The Plaid will be my first Tesla and first new car since my 2007 M6. Have to admit I’m a bit scared of the rocket ship that is coming. Could be my age but I’m psyching up for it for sure. Was wondering how many 60 or 70 plus age folks are ordering a Plaid or LR? Obviously I ask because I fall into that category.

I am going to order, and am in that age group.

Just as fun to drive smoothly and efficiently as fast and hard. A little bit of both works for me.

There are different modes. The car will be a rocket ship only when you're in plaid mode and smash the accelerator.
Just drive in 'chill' mode until you're comfortable with the car.

No head-to-head Tesla drags yet? It's ok, I can wait for you to get out of honeymoon phase. Maybe the second round of deliveries will have some people who are willing to thrash their new cars.

Do we have guesses of each launch/driving mode?
What happens if you don't wait for drag to be ready, do you get a partially improved time or is it all or nothing and you have to wait for it to be ready?

Oh gosh. No offense, but if you can't at least put down $20k or whatever like that, I would think your accountant would advise you to buy a less expensive car dude. That IS a mortgage payment dude. Why bother at that monthly payment, even for just 3 years? Or maybe do a 5-year loan and pay an extra $200+ each month to pay it down quicker?

The entire payment could be a tax deduction for some business people (or 1099s.) Some might prefer the higher monthly payment so they can write it off.

Same question!

 

[Drew-MS]

I just want a date for my car…. The no date is driving me nuts

Same here.. super frustrating with nothing there when I log-in.

That makes sense why the actual time is 2.8 seconds and not 2.25! 2.25 seconds is the time in a 29.97 frame timeline. That converted to 10ths is around 2.8 seconds… If you did a perfect launch I'm sure that time would go down a few more tenths! In the Dragtimes video from the launch event he recorded a 2.7 0-60 so maybe there's something missing that will come with an OTA.

I think there were 4 guys in the car.

Launch Mode (i.e cheetah stance) is only available in Dragstrip Mode, and Dragstrip mode is only available once Plaid Mode is selected. On the street, the Plaid will most likely get a 3-4 second 0-60 in Chill Mode; a 2.6-2.8 second 0-60 in Sport Mode; a 2.3-2.4 second 0-60 in Plaid Mode w/o Launch Mode; and a 2.1-2.2 second 0-60 in Plaid Mode, w/ Dragstrip Mode enabled, and the Cheetah Stance engaged on the street. <2.0 seconds will definitely be possible only at a Dragstrip.

I just overlaid a timer over the video Ryan Shaw made and that's what it timed. I do have a dragy on order and will for sure get a time off that if I ever get my MS…

I could be wrong but it looks like he eased off the accelerator a bit at about 56mph.

ah, ok. So it was really 2.7 0-60. Had me fooled there....lol.

i noticed that too. makes sense now.

I still see June just now for Red/Tan/Wood/19"

Do I believe it? No.

 

[Drew-MS]

In that 0-60, he actually stopped accelerating at exactly 60mph which means he probably eased off beforehand.
The other video from earlier 'Emit Peppers' when they pulled over to the side of the road was probably a more accurate 0-60

 

[TorqueMonster]

Where art though Ole Draggy?

 

[Crb003]

Where do you see that? I still see same it has been, wood and black interior June, but white or CF August.
Can’t believe they still haven’t changed it all to august to be honest with you. Highly doubt if you order a car right now with wood and black interior it’s coming in 2 weeks…

It's still June. You probably have it set on CF or White interior.
