Plaid performance at different SoC

[zivac87]

I have already seen videos how fast it is even at 20% but is there any chart/stat at different percentage to see at which point Plaid starts losing performance?

Fastest 1/4 time I have at the strip is a 9.18 and that was above 90% SoC. I also turned a 9.92 at 21% SoC. If you wanted a very obtuse guesstimation, you could say 0.10 second loss per 10% SoC. But realistically, it's still turning 9.2's in the high 60% to low 70% SoC. I don't think 0-60 time is affected at all until you get in the sub-20% SoC range, because that's a traction issue, not a power issue.

How do you mean traction is correlated to SoC?

I meant that the car is limited by the amount of traction it has, not by the amount of juice the batteries have. It overpowers the road and spins/engages traction control even under 20% SoC.

Ofcourse. I can't wait for winter to end so i can put 4S instead of PA5, with warm roads to test it out properly. It should be night and day difference with enough grip
