Non-Raven Performance on 2020.12.5

[nem3]

Got 2020.12.5 on my 2016.5 P90DL yesterday. Didn't think to do any tests at the time figuring the release notes would include this change. So here's the recap from testing today. Personally hate the new launch control technique, think it will make it much harder to use at the track. Was only able to try it 3 times total and each time, the time to wait before it activated and squated was slightly different. In addition, it doesn't feel like it squats as much as it did before. Finally, there is a lot more tire slip off the line, and I think this is what's causing the change in feeling. On the plus side amp draw was up, previous max was 1525A/450kW, now pulling 1598A/480kW. Out of the two runs I logged, had a 3.1 0-60 and a 2.9 0-60. However, this wasn't on a prepped surface and I'm still running my winter set, 20" DSW06's.

Total side note, first run in the car was a little confusing, seems Tesla changed the CAN PID for battery current and voltgae. Now matches the Model 3/Y.

Let me know what you all find, interested if this was just a fluke or if others are seeing the same thing.

How are you measuring amp/kW draw?

My 2017 P100DL had the complete opposite results after the 12.5 update .
I was excited to try it out today after getting the update late Friday night. I charged up the car to 100% and engaged Ludicrous + mode with max battery power. Waited for the readouts to appear on the car and took it out. I just did the same tests on March 29th with a new rear drive unit that Tesla just replaced under warranty at around 66k miles. The results were good on March 29th, but definitely losing peak power over the years down to 535kW from 565kW or so from a few years ago. I got a couple of 2.5s times w/roll out to 60mph and then consistently stayed in the 2.7-2.9s range. Today I was hoping for better times, better launches and more peak power.
Unfortunately that’s didn’t happen the initial run at 100% with Launch Control used got me a 2.56s w/roll out. I continued do 10 more runs with launch control and the times over the next several rounds were quite bad as you will see in the images. All runs were in the 3s with a massive drop off in power around 40-45mph, it was very strange feeling the power come off so early and significantly around 40mph. As well all my power stats fell off from March 29th. I also did a 1/4 mile run and that number is the highest I’ve ever gotten 11.9 at 102mph! Afterwards I went back into just Ludicrous mode and I did a few more runs. They were in the 2.9s and low 3s and a 1/4 mile at 11.4 at 109mph. I’m quite confused what happened there. I’m thinking they just didn’t get the power curve right when Ludicrous + is turned on, because it was very limited compared to normal Ludicrous mode that pulled much harder.
Hoping this gets fixed soon!!!

Have to agree, the launch is far less impressive than before. I think you're right about power curve, but not that it's limited. I noticed a LOT of tire slip on L+ launch, much more than I used to get. I'm eager to try with my summer tires, but inclement weather hasn't passed yet.

Thanks for sharing, i see that your dash doesnt show the 600kw power reading on the dash.

You are welcome! It’s a 2017, only the Raven performance models are showing the 600 as of now.

for the uneducated, what are considered to be good numbers
I just launched at 90% SOC and I got
Battery 568 Kw
Front 160 Kw
Rear 355 Kw

is that good, bad or typical?

Your in the perfect area.

I have a 2019 Model S p100d. 575kw max

Good Numbers!

My numbers are not good. 2017 P100D with a replaced rear drive unit about two weeks ago. 535kw Max and the rear only got 335kw. Very disappointing.
