Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Drew-MS]

Nah I could feel it wasn't all there

My guess is the car was in sport mode even though you may have put it in plaid. Try a quick reboot.

Most likely just a software fluke, or possibly a overreacting sensor....

is he missing a software update?

I hadn't actually thought of that; great guess!

yea that actually sounds logical.

Just for more data. My LR ran a 3.08 0-60 with 1ft of rollout on its way to the 6.74 to 100 mph. I have achieved better 0-60 runs, so this isn’t the best the car can do. I will try to charge to 100% and see what she can do.

I feel like a cheerleader for the LR even though I didn't order one hah.. Weird

Should have mentioned this earlier but there were none on the trailers with 19 inch. sorry

Ah, oh well. Such is life.

Just good to know the LR can take down the yappy Hellcats .. Ahh

I might have video of one of these problematic launches, let me check the camera.

OK I reviewed the video, pavement at the beginning of the launch was pretty damn rough. That's probably the issue.

WHOOOHOOO! Good conclusion!

 

[bmt00]

I will post a clip when it's done processing.

On another note... guys take a look at how well the Plaid still performs at 30% SOC:

I know many ppl still ask about soc but I thought with the new, denser battery technology, the soc really doesn't matter any more? Seems like other new MS Plaid owners and even Randy Pobst & MT have all said that with the new battery technology and s/w, the refresh MS pulls just as strong at 30% soc as it does at 100% (and they all have the data numbers to back that up). What am I missing here?

Makes sense... The computer will hold back power which is a good thing if the conditions are poor.

Absolutely, so that it doesn't start breaking wheels and suspension components.

Here's the 'slow' launch. Note the IR illuminators for the interior camera.

Oh yeah dude it's like you're offroading over there. Still pulled 0.9 G which is pretty impressive.

It wasn't that bad in terms of deep potholes but definitely rough in retrospect.
