He said something about "local Karens" so perhaps posting videos of going 155 in the neighbourhood and also standing in front of his own house wasn't the best move. I was expecting to see the first 200mph video from him once the limits got taken away. I'm sure he'll be back.

Yeah true, the camera man should never have shown the speedometer. Or atleast blurred it out.

English is my native language and I could not understand it either.
Is there any downside to keeping the car in Plaid mode (as opposed to sport or comfort) all the time?
OK, smart folks, question for you. Attached is a chart the take my 4 Dragy runs and plots speed (MPH, x-axis) vs time (seconds, y-axis). For each run, there is a hockey stick above 54 MPH. Thoughts on why--because this is consistent, I am assuming this is the car's programming.
I think it is easier to look at with the axis flipped. The car has a fixed torque limit which gives you the different first slopes. Then different fixed power limits.
The curious thing is why would Tesla pick combinations of torque and power limits where that transition happens at exactly 54mph?
I'm not following. Every Dragy run you've posted shows a linear speed increase and a basically flat g response.

I graphed the run from this user's video to 90mph. It's basically a flat speed response. Maybe you could post your data?

Hi @omarsultan, I was able to come up with a possibility for you.
If the MPH axis has been treated like a time axis in seconds you will see a jump from 54mph = 0.54 to 60mph = 1.00
By multiplying your time axis by MPH/100 I replicated your problem.
I think your issue may be one of graphing.

Yeah, you are right--I was not looking at this the right way--still all new to me. Thx.
Same. Hoping to get a better run in soon
I noticed that on some of your Dragy times the pic showed weird, I think 6mph, incrementals that seemed way faster before 60. Maybe this lines up with those numbers?
Did you guys see Dodge is now teasing a 2024 muscle car EV with design cues from the 1969 charger? They are claiming it would have around 886 HP with 0-60 in as little as 2 seconds with as much as 500 miles of range. Competition is good but that is a long way off. GM and Ford better get moving lol.
Surely, by now, someone has taken the plaid to a road course. Please share with us:
1 what track?
2 how many laps before overheating (if ever)?
3 which track pads?
4 lap times if you are willing to share?
Thanks.

A couple of random tidbits:
- Today I did 0-60 runs today at 100% SOC and 40% SOC and they both yielded 2.3s/2.1s. This is consistent with my other runs which are about around 70-80% SOC, so yay for consistency
- I found you can put the Dragy in the front charger cradle and it get still get satellite lock, so no more tape donuts

Excellent data, @omarsultan. Thanks for sharing, really appreciate it.

Good luck catching up with Tesla. By the time that thing rolls around we will all be in the 8's.
I don't think I have seen anyone take their Plaid on a road course yet--I did go to a drag strip today, tho
