I know not everyone is concerned with performance but this thread is for those who are! I am really scratching my head over the trap speed (155) and trying to break the numbers down in my head. I thought peak power happens on a P100D around 45 MPH, and that it was limited to battery output. I understand Plaid will have much more power but from where? With range being similar (any chance of software limiting?) are they just dumping way more amps? Can we assume voltage is the same? Are the motors really THAT much more efficient making power? I just can't wrap my head around the current needed to run a 155 quarter mile, even if it is only 9.23 seconds at a time LOL!
