That chart shows KW rating *NOT* being “constant” but building in a linear fashion to peak around 45-50mph, does it not? Acceleration and speed are smooth, but not “constant”.
In case it was not clear, my post was supposed to be a joke!!Apology accepted. Be careful next time.
Do you see faster accelleration with a slow push or a rapid stomp?Maybe this is obvious to others, but I just realized there’s a noticeable difference in acceleration when I kick the pedal quickly vs pushing the accelerator down to the floor.

Maybe they're trying to mitigate 'unexpected accelleration' when people think they are stomping on the brakes.
I haven’t measured the 0-60, but stomping/kicking the pedal seems to push me back in the seat noticeably more.
Because your initial acceleration is higher, so the change in force is higher. It's a subway starting to move, your body isn't prepared to counter the force, so it throws you back.
You body deals with 1g every single day, but since gravity doesn't change, you don't notice it. Add in a sudden 0.4g and you won't be able to contract your core and neck muscles quickly enough. Build that force more slowly and your body will react with a counter force.
The first one is:Can you better define the difference between ‘kicking’ and ‘pushing quickly’ ?
I'm not discounting the experience of any of the Model 3 owners, but I was having similar thoughts when reading this thread.I have a strong hunch this is all wrong due to the subjective nature of the highly calibrated instrument known as the "Butt Dyno"!

There is definitely a difference in press vs. stomp in the Model S, so I expected the same in the 3.Maybe this is obvious to others, but I just realized there’s a noticeable difference in acceleration when I kick the pedal quickly vs pushing the accelerator down to the floor.
There is a linear acceleration of power or constant torque for the first several seconds at full throttle. I just assumed that at 90% throttle you’d be at 90% of max torque. Also that at a gradual linear push to 100% throttle you’d have a gradual increase in power and the corresponding curve of torque increase. It would be interesting for someone with CANBus gear to test as CANBus tracks percentage of petal press at 100 Hz.
Troubling seeing reports like these:
Did Tesla just slow down our cars? | Tesla
Can anyone confirm?
I know the BMW i3 was slowed down with a software updates because too much torque was breaking engine mount bolts.
Why would tesla do it, and is it even legal? That would be like the cook at Pizza Hut coming into your house and taking the pepperoni's back. Didn't apple just get sued over something like this?
