Funny you should mention that. I found a Corvette on my way home tonight.

I seem to have the same problem with my car...

What do you mean 'pole position?
I think about this all the time! I'm doing my part and do a lil advertising by showing how quick Tesla's are (safely lol)
What PSI?Downside: the 4S's are not "low rolling resistance", nor do they have the sound deadening foam. So there's more of a hum to them now, and my range is down ~10%, because I have to feather the go pedal a little more coasting to a stop, since the tires slow me down quicker than the Primacies did.
What PSI?
All the time when I'm alone or with my kids (they love the acceleration) and the road ahead looks clear. Not so much with my husband who hates the acceleration. I wish I knew how a launch feels from the passenger seat ...
Apparently "nauseating" according to my wife. I'm not allowed to punch it when she's in the car either.
My wife still chuckles when I floor it off stoplights. She never gets tired of it. Surprisingly, she's not jealous of my P3D vs. her LR RWD.
I thought she might get protective of her car but she even enjoys it when I thrash her baby off the line. If it were a manual shift fossil powered car and I was revving the engine and dropping the clutch, no, she would not be a happy camper! Because she knows it would need shop time sooner rather than later. Clutches, oil and filter changes, etc. Launching a fossil car hard puts clutch pack abrasives in the oil and filter, increases engine temperature and wear of hundreds of parts, wears out rings, cylinders, valve guides, etc. etc. faster with the higher rpms (I could go on and on here). An electric car? No worries! Maybe the sealed bearings only last 750,000 miles instead of 1,000,000 miles.
As the title says, I'm curious to what P3D+ or other Model 3 Variant owners do. I don't do it all the time, but I'd say maybe 7/10 times if I get the chance lol. I match to the speed limit (of course)
Just want to see what other owners are doing because sometimes I feel obnoxious/'assholey' about doing it. Don't want to be 'that' driver but it's just so damn fun!
Having now owned my Model 3 for over 6 months, I can say the following:
- The first few weeks or so I had the vehicle, I drove like a complete a**hole.
- After the initial rush, I calmed down my driving a lot, and try to be a responsible "Tesla Ambassador" if you will, not wanting to give our community a bad rep, and hoping to make others curious about buying one.
- Yes, I do still sometimes launch the car when the light turns green, it's just so damn fun.
- This car actually makes me enjoy getting stopped at a red light.
- I worry about the future when lots of other electric cars are on the road and everyone starts driving the way I did.
