Quick Question on Performance Model #

Thanks for the reply. So, no difference is power when at 80% charged, versus <20% charged?

I would say the change in acceleration is mildly noticeable, but may depend on how well your butt dyno is calibrated. There is also more acceleration (i.e., jerk is higher) from a complete stop vs. rolling, so pick your demo locations well.

Short answer: yes, above ~45 mph. Long answer:
Blue line is 90% SOC, grey is 50%.

That being said, the difference in performance between 2019.5.15 @ 90 SOC and 2019.8.4 @ 90 SOC is almost as much as is from 50 SOC to 90 SOC on 2019.8.4.
Thanks for the reply. So, if I am reading your graphs correctly, the newer software versions are making a difference. I anticipate this to be a continuing trend. What are your thoughts on this? Also, do you find the pull noticeably different when <50 SOC?
Thanks. I'll make a note of that. I did make the mistake and test drove the P3D with five people in the car. It felt much different that with just two. Both times the car was >80% SOC.I would say the change in acceleration is mildly noticeable, but may depend on how well your butt dyno is calibrated.

Acceleration from a stop still feels good, it just starts to feel a bit soft if you stomp on it when you are already going 60+ mph if your SOC is low. Most of this I think is just because it is SO ferocious when at a high SOC and lower speed.
Why does it matter, even near empty, it's going to be better than most anything out there. Don't assume that 10% means slower than a school bus.
Good point. I'm 85% decided. I have to see my Prius Prime now. If no takers, I'll sell to Carmax and take the $2K -$3k hit.

I feel pretty certain that the P3D at 10% SOC and in chill mode will accelerate harder than the Prius Prime at all speeds.
Take a look at the data these folks took. The video at the end of the page is a good summary.

P3D+ will knock you back regardless of SOC if you're alone in the vehicle. That being said, yes there is a noticeable difference in my butt dyno between < 40% and > 80%.

Yep, it's that very steep ramp at the beginning and wide flat section at the top that give the characteristics of being fired from a rail gun we all know and love.

I just won a drag race competition (open class) at my local track against all manner of heavily modified cars. It was insanely fun and I'm now addicted. Bye bye tires.
Lol. Anything beats the Prius Prime.I feel pretty certain that the P3D at 10% SOC and in chill mode will accelerate harder than the Prius Prime at all speeds.
