Once again beating MT's test results. They said 2.45 with no Drag Mode, or 1ft rollout just Plaid Mode. Using the standard 0.2 seconds, this run ran 2.39 seconds w/o 1ft-rollout.Here is a fresh IGTV video from DragTimes. Astonishing non-cheetah 0-60 of 2.28 ans 2.19 seconds:

While you're not wrong, I'd wager that most of us here couldn't give a crap about all that and would rather have the $50k
that GTR sounded heavily modded as well. by the time it got to it's power band Plaid was GONECute GTR
I had a big windfall and I wanted a really fast, fun car. The C8 was backordered and dealers wanted 30k over MSRP so I looked at the model S, and for that price I could get a lot more performance. And here we are.Absolutely true for most people. However, there is a certain group of people, to name a few: @AMGF, @TorqueMonster, @Drew-MS, @Aleks0404, etc..., that do give a crap about 'all that'. These members aren't buying the Plaid because it's 'the best of the best' or something like that; instead, they see the value of the marvel of engineering that is the Plaid Model S. I truly believe that the Plaid will be remembered as the car that changed the direction of the auto-industry with its advancements in motor technology. That alone makes it unique, along with the fact that it's the EV that finally smacks down ICE with its superior power curve. Now EVs can make both instant power and torque, AND keep that power up to top speed, w/o having any power loss due to a transmission! Nothing that an ICE can do can even come close! Yes, it's quite a bit more expensive than a LR, but look at what we are talking about here: we're talking about a car that is literally hypercar-beating, for 1/10 of the hypercar price! This is a monumental step in EVs people, and we will remember it!
(Nothing at all against the LR BTW, as I find it both amazing and awesome that the 'base' Model S has gotten this powerful, and this fast.)
I don’t want to make him mad before I get my car so he doesn’t bump me back in line, lol. Like unless you have a VIN for me, I know you don’t have any real information.
It's the middle sibling mode--not fast, not slow--it was 3.67
I'm hoping this is for new(ish) orders. There have been CF deliveries. Hope is not a strategy though.
Is that actually something that’s confirmed for the future?
Probably, but if we're chasing tenths of a second here, maybe it matters a bit.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?
I experienced a slow cheetah stance launch in the LR today. Most of my runs have been in the low 3’s, but I had one launch today that just felt really slow. I looked down at the Dragy results and couldn’t believe my eyes.Here's the 'slow' launch. Note the IR illuminators for the interior camera.
I wouldn’t say they exaggerate using unrealistic conditions. I generally got 85-90% of the range with highway driving, averaging 75-80mph. On certain routes where traffic required 65, 100% wasn’t unusual. That was with my 2015 P85D. I haven’t seen reports from the current car, but if range was exaggerated a lot, people would be complaining. It’s not like we are a shy bunch
My MYP gets 40 miles less than the EPA est so I'm a little concerned i'll only get ~350 in the PlaidI wouldn’t say they exaggerate using unrealistic conditions.

That's the first thing I am doing, blocking the interior camera.Here's the 'slow' launch. Note the IR illuminators for the interior camera.
