Can anyone tell me why i'm getting 0-60 times of 3.6 seconds in my 2020 3 P+?

P+ Horrible 0-60 times
- Thread starter 20TM3

It's because they calculate 0-60 with a roll out.
3.6s from a dig is pretty close to what you should be. The 3.2 is only from a 1 foot roll-0out at @P3dStealth mentions. Charge makes a big difference, just look at the hp loss as charge decreases:

Yea I have a draggy also. I was disappointed too when I found out it's with a rollout. As it turns out most 0-60 times are with a rollout. I did not know this. Some people have squeezed more out with track mode on and 18in wheels. I haven't tried it yet.

At high SoC and good, dry roads you should be close to 3 flat with rollout. Did you have passengers? Stock wheels and tires? Post a screenshot of Dragy.
it's quite disappointing as the car feels much quicker than my Porsche. My Porsche did 3.45 before it got a tune, exhaust and tire upgrades so It should actually pull on the M3 by a good amount even though the M3 still feels faster off the line. I guess there's only one way to find out 
Car has 20" TS Falcon wheels with 265 rear tires. Had a passenger on that run but was the same when it was just me. Will try again today and post pics of draggy for both results.

Yes, horrible. Barely fast enough to keep up with all the Toyota Prius on the road
I've tried with/without track mode and it wasn't conclusive for me.
My fastest accel times have been with 18" winter tyres on FWIW.
I've seen some unexplained differences in times between identical P3Ds at the same track and timed within a minute of each other and the only thing we could put it down to was battery temperature.
3.2-3.3secs to 60mph (no rollout) should be achievable with 90%+ charge.
Track mode won't help with maximum power. If you get your battery temp up to around 50C & SoC above 90% you'll get it to the fastest it can go. Supercharging right before a test is the best method since max charging & discharging power requires higher temps.
yes horrible for a car that's advertised as 3.2 0-60.

"Horrible" when you aren't testing in the same way or interpreting the way Tesla lists the time as it is meant to (1' rollout).
20 inch TS Falcon wheels with 265 rear tires aren't stock - how much do those weigh? Heavier rotational mass plus an extra passenger is going to impact your time some. Try testing yourself at 95% (or as close as you can to it) over multiple runs and then post screenshots of your times. Make sure that Dragy validates the times and you aren't on a slight incline as even a few degree's can affect your time.

Any dots on your regen bar? Make sure battery is warm. One way to force this is navigate to a supercharger, and it will start preconditioning the battery.
Weather, surface, measuring accuracy, etc all factor in to this. Getting to that speed that quickly isn’t just a given. Even with awd you need decent temps and a good surface and if you’ve changed wheels/tires.... why is this surprising?
That could certainly change things. That is a lot more tire (than stock) with more mass to rotate and could slow you down some on acceleration.
It sounds like your set-up may be more optimal for lateral G-forces instead of straight line acceleration times.
Do you have any possibility to mount the stock wheels & tires again and take readings with those?
