Nothing yet I'm afraid. Hopefully something soon. Checked the weather in Miami today, and it looks bright and sunny over there, so that's a good sign IMO.

Actually, no, not bright and sunny. Drier than it's been for the past 3 weeks or so but definitely not typical S FL Summer weather.

In central FL, it's cloudy with spots of rain from "hurricane" after effects.
Just to add another data point for comparison, my old 2020 Model S Performance ran the following on an unprepared surface and stock 19” wheels/tires and high 90% state of charge. It would run these numbers pretty consistently, but not back to back, as the car needed a fair amount of time to regulate the battery temp, etc. Also, it’s so fun to see the new LR stats, I’m impressed!

Man this thread went from two pages of complaining and "discussing" drag times to discussing the weather. Although related, still comical.

reason we are discussing weather is because we are trying to determine if DragTimes has a chance at doing some runs in FL....lol

Well damn guys, I apologize about the weather. My weather app said 'partly sunny' this morning...

In a recent dragtimes video, he showed the plaid was 3-4mph faster in the 1/8th at 98% compared to 50% soc which is a 3% difference.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 all have 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?
In my P100D, the performance loss at 50% would have definitely been way more than 3% compared to 98% soc. My P100D seemed to lose quite a bit of power under 70%.

if I am at 50% SOC.....i probably would not even gun it. that's just me....I will re-charge
These are impressive numbers
. The earlier P100Ds had similar 0-60 but were definitely not this impressive in the 1/8th and 1/4..

Battery cells != scalable
The LR is significantly lighter (~10%) than the old P100D, and with less power fade. IIRC P100D was down to 660hp or so at the end of a quarter mile run. So power to weight could be > 10% better than the P100D at the end of the quarter mile. Pretty crazy for the “slow” version of a car.

And imagine a few years from now, the possibility of a "slow" version of the Model S being on par with today's Plaid?? Yowza on what is down the road.

I cannot imagine but it gets me excited to think about it.
The one thing that surprises me watching some of these recent videos are the empty roads. Unfortunately, it's nothing like that here. Too many cars and traffic everywhere all day from 7am - 9pm. I do know a few quiet safe places to go for some fun but they're 20-30 min away.
