Is anyone going to finish the math to give us a 0 to xx time?
We can test drive Usain Bolt (available now) to get a feel of Model 3 acceleration.

That is 91.44 meters, so around 4seconds from 0-100m which is slighlty faster than Usain Bolt record of 9.58 seconds
Assuming constant acceleration:Is anyone going to finish the math to give us a 0 to xx time?
distance / time = (V_initial + V_final) / 2
V_initial=0
distance=100m
time=4s
We got V_final=50m/s=180kph ... in 4s
So the estimated distance is wrong.

Why do you have 2 seconds for time if it was over the course of 4 seconds? Using 4 seconds (100m per 4 sec : 25m per sec), it comes out to about 55mph, which is reasonable if this is just a LR model.
0-60mph = 0-26.8meters per sec
26.8 mps = distance / time
26.8 mps = distance / 5.1s (using LR 0-60 time)
distance = 136.68m
However, I doubt the acceleration is perfectly linear. So many unknown variables these calculations are 87.9% worthless.
Because it is a formula...which you put numbers inside. I put 4s in "time".
Your calculation is wrong. It's like half of your number, 68.34m.

This is why I don't try to math before I coffee...I just wrote down how much distance a car would travel at a given speed. Wow.

I immediately thought you were filling in the data for the distance / time and I went downhill from there.Chewy's sleepy brain said:

Ok, I pulled out my bat ears (which I don't really have), and I hear a motor whine on two separate occasions in that video: at 0:24 and at 0:26/0:27.
I am assuming this confirms dual motor, and is because because of different gearing between front and back, like on the S/X. Smaller front motor with taller gearing for efficient cruising.
Or I am way off.

I had a Model 3 owner mention the same thing that the doors take some force to latch completely. I assume it won’t take as much force over time.

Model S: VIN 65513, Model 3: VIN 1913
Sorry, no pic, but, saw a beautiful 3 on a flatbed truck going the opposite way on Alameda de las Pulgas in San Carlos yesterday afternoon. It was a startling Blue and that sealed our color decision right there.
(Over time, this thread will morph into "Random Model 3 Sightings", I suppose, like the equivalent Roadster/S/X threads?)

Another Angle of the Model 3! The Aero Cap Wheels look way better in person. • r/teslamotors
Picked up this beauty! To all the people at Tesla who made this happen: thank you, and strong work! • r/teslamotors

I don't know what I am looking at here. Please help identify the object near the top of the front disc brake rotor on the red model 3.
Here is Elon's car (I think):
Compare the position of the front brake rotor on Elon's car to the saw tooth edged object at the top of the rotor here:
Are they trying to use the (heavy) disc/rotor as some sort of regenerative braking element...
Bad idea #1: Maybe cylindrical brake pads in the caliper that spin really fast so the magnets don't have to be so heavy?
Please turn these bad ideas into good ones! I am at a loss.
Bad idea #2: Maybe it is a regenerative hub at the center of the disc with enough platter left on the outside for conventional brake calipers?
Bad idea #3: Maybe those are not saw teeth, but gear teeth? (see bad idea #1 above, except don't use the friction surface for regenerative braking).
I have no idea what I am looking at...
Maybe it is just a standard heat dissipating dress on the rotor hub? Nothing to see here?

VIN 22 appears to be testing Smart Air Suspension. Check out how it’s sitting — note the wheel wells.
I suppose it could also be weighed down in the frunk and trunk for other testing, but I’d suspect the former is more likely.

Are two different driving modes shown here?
The first is lane changing and the left part of the screen shows awareness outside the lane.
The second is lane keeping and shows speed with the road traveling under the car at different speeds. It shows no awareness outside the lane.
As a marginal customer, with the stock price where it is today, I would like to have the second behavior as a lower cost option. Is it?
How much must be added to the $35K price to obtain the behavior shown in the second video?
Post #2435 front hubs:
IMO. My guess is an experimental / testing / data gathering front hub. Most likely for use in the calibration of the front motor of Dual and possibly ABS as well. The extended wheel studs can support spacers behind the wheel for front track adjustment / experimentation. The transition to Dual involves front hub driveshafts attached to hubs that were previously just freewheeling hubs. Fitting, calibration and testing involved.
