Tesla Motors Club

My wife and I were driving home from the store this afternoon in my 3P+ and pulled up behind a McLaren something at a red light. This was on a four lane suburban highway. His license plate was "RAC3 ME". Well, he jets when the light turns green so, of course, I immediately floor it to keep up. He gets over one lane and my wife says, "oh look, another red light coming up" and starts taking the clip out of her hair in the back (for the headrest). We're laughing as we pull up to the red light next to the McLaren. As the light is getting ready to turn green he starts edging forward. We floor it at the green light ... but the guy bails out after a fraction of a second. I thought your license plate said, RAC3 ME???

Anyway, it has been a while since I floored it from a standing start (I think it's hard on the mechanical parts) but it felt like my 3P+ has a more abrupt launch than in the past. I do it from brake hold, so there isn't an issue of a rolling start making a difference.

Anyone else notice any difference in their 3P+ and launching?
