S3XY Drag Race!

curious to see if M3P would be better or worse without the front lip and with 18"s instead of the 20"s wheels

Tldw;
Model S
model X barely only during the last segment of the strip
Model 3 pulled ahead during launch on the X. I was very surprised.
Model Y


Sorry if I miss anything. I skipped around the video looking for the actual drag

The roll was more interesting.

Model S easily won
Model 3 edged out Model X
Model Y

Model 3 is outperforming expectations

Thanks! The rolling ones are always interesting. The X is damn heavy

Roll race has S significantly in the lead, with 3, X, Y all essentially equal.

S is still Flagship.

Really looking forward to the plaid drivetrain in that regard. The S is already basically an amusement ride takeoff. Relentless through 60mph.

With more efficient batteries coming in the next 5 years, perhaps they could also move the S motors to the 3 without losing too much range? Now that would be fun to drive. My grandchildren aren’t going to believe we used to show off cars that went 0-60 very loudly in 5 seconds as good.

This is the end of the roll. Model 3 and X are right next to each other. Model Y is noticeably trailing. It was even worse from a dig.

If you want all-out performance, Model S performance is the way to go.

Model Y performance = Model 3 Dual motor with Acceleration boost

If you want all-out performance, Model S performance is the way to go.

It walks elite cars in the M3 and X. Before we got our second S, we tested a BMW M8. That car is ICE fast. The 0-60 may be halfway close, but the instant torque of the S makes it more incredible

This video just makes me happy with anticipation of the Plaid Model S. That is going to really dominate.

 

[Apprunner]

The issue with the S is the handling. Not really fond of it. The Model 3 has the nimble feeling that I was looking for. I’m happy that the Model 3 doesn’t have to fool around with launch control. Rather just mash the pedal for max speed.

Oh man.... I’ve been seriously debating the LR AWD Model Y in MSM and white interior but after seeing this... I could get a Performance Model 3 with no exterior/interior upgrades for only $3k more and instead of being the slowest being a small rocket....

And this would be coming from a SR+...

All the Performance models are rockets. So fast...

Tesla needs to tune up the Performance Y just a bit more, give it another 2 tenths or so.

Even the Model 3 LR AWD with the acceleration boost would be almost as quick as the Model Y Performance.

If money is an issue, you'd be equally as happy as the Model 3 LR AWD. Do it!

they will never do that. each car needs to have their selling point which tesla does via performance (whereas i.e. BMW does it via features and interior space). im sure the Model 3 is just detuned can be equally as fast as the S.
