real world all models 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times

[gregincal]

I would start recording video prior to the start and advance frame by frame on playback, but I understand your point. Thanks.

I didn't understand the point about the stopwatch, since you never mentioned using a stopwatch. The point about the speedometer is fair, but I still think the result would be close.

Sorry if already asked earlier, does a rollout = 1 or 2 mph to 60 mph?

Yeah, pretty much.

OK, this is great, gives me a reason to a) buy a dashcam b) find a nice, empty flat strip of tarmac in my town c) eat at my favorite buffet, to blame it on weighing me down should I not go less than 5 sec

We still need someone with a vbox and a 85 kwh to do a 0-60.... we have the p85 number of 3.9... the 60 kwh at 5.1... but need someone on a full charge with a standard 85 to post a video and show the vbox

If I knew where to find one to borrow I'd do it tonight!

Here's a real world time from tonight for a P85+ with 134 rated miles remaining and Michelin P2's

How come this "yahoo" is only getting a low of 4.6 in these videos? Is the performance plus package actually getting better traction, reducing the time? I was disappointed - haven't tested my P85, but thought it was going to drop the S8's mail off!

If he's doing 4.9 on a P85 (+ or not) he's doing something wrong. (Or he's got a car issue.)

If he's doing 4.9 on a P85 (+ or not) he's doing something wrong. (Or he's got a car issue.)

In the Audi he uses launch control (left foot on the brake, right foot presses the accelerator pedal, then release the brake),
in the MS he only uses the accelerator pedal. Not a fair comparison.
The MS will accelerate quicker by using the same launch control technique.
It workes fine with my Nissan Leaf and Renault Kangoo Z.E.as well.

How so? With Creep OFF, you wouldn't even need to have the brake pedal depressed and can simply "sit" on the accelerator pedal and punch it. If anything, the MS is at an advantage.

Could this guy actually have had Creep ON and was holding with the brakes? Sorry, can't see the video right now so, I may not know what I'm talking about.

Doesn't matter if you are in creep mode or not.

1. press the brake pedal with your left foot
2. press accelerator with your right foot ( now you have full torque ) Message shows up: both pedals pressed
3. release brake pedal

This video shows you how to do it: Tesla Model S 60 kWH 0-60 MPH Testing - YouTube

Got it. Thanks.

Even so his numbers are awful. Some have nearly touched 4.9 in a non-Perf 85.

Partial cross-post of some related data from May. This wasn't a planned "drag" just me mostly flooring it to begin a Lapping session.

0-100 mph chart:
View attachment 22467

0-59 (mostly full throttle):

• start: 15:03:18.774
• finish: 15:03:23.274
• duration: 4.5s

0-61 (mostly full throttle):

• start: 15:03:18.774
• finish: 15:03:23.524
• duration: 4.75s

0-99 (not full throttle):

• start: 15:03:18.774
• finish: 15:03:30.274
• duration: 11.5s

0-100 (not full throttle):

• start: 15:03:18.774
• finish: 15:03:30.524
• duration: 11.75s

Note that the interval between data points is 0.250s in the log, hence the interest in evaluating the data points at-or-after the target speed and the data points immediately preceding.

Also note this is with 147mi. of Rated range.

Still no 0-60 for S85?

 

[zooooooom]

i wondering if you can rent a vbox or borrow one for a 0-60 in a standard 85... as we still don't have one on a full charge

You might consider buying the much cheaper Vbox Sport, that connects to an iPhone.

Can someone confirm that the S60 weight is 182 lbs less than the S85 ?
If so I expect that the acceleration times of S60 and S85 are pretty much the same up to 50 mph.

Took my P85+ to the 1/4 mile drag strip.

1st run car #978 12.562 at 109.07mph - traction control on
2nd run car #917E 12.562 at 109.39mph - traction control off
3rd run car #917E 12.615 at 109.68mph - traction control off
4th run car #917E 15.414 at 106.26mph - traction control off, tires spun first 100' or so. I backed off slowly and they wouldn't grab until I hit full regen. Pretty sure the track treatment was completely worn off at this point.

Hopefully the slips are readable.

I just did a 0-60 time in my S85 of 5.0 seconds. Completely non-scientific and spur of the moment: used my cell phone video camera, kids in back, playing their Teen Beach Movie soundtrack (which can upset one's concentration), and hit around a 2% gradient on the run. It's amazing that I could match MotorTrend's time of the S85 without even trying. I do think that you can get at least 4.9 with better conditions and a VBox.

Went drag racing for the first time last night in my P85. Lots of fun. Videos/Photo Below. My best time was 12.417 @ 111.57mph., it was also my best RT with 0.137s. I was hoping to post one of the best times for a p85 so far but it looks like the Dragtimes video on the first page of this thread has me beat. (on time, but not by trap speed).

Impressive times my friend!
