Testing 0-60 times

[Nb1277]

Fairly simple yet reasonably accurate way of testing 0-60 times on a P3D? Something more than a smartphone/stopwatch but amateur level...ideas?

Easiest solution seems to be tweeting at Elon to get them to add it to the cars software

Seriously though, nothing cheap/easy is going to be very accurate. You can use a phone app that uses your phones GPS, but that's not going to be super accurate (+/- .2s?)

get a VBOX Performance Box - Lap Timer, Speedometer, Accelerometer

or a dragy

Two recommendations:

1) Get a dragy, as @Zoomit recommended. I own one and it works great with my Iphone 7.
2) Get the Stats app (‎Stats: For Tesla Model S/X/3). I haven't tried this one, just recently learned about it and it has great reviews. Apparently it can measure 0-60 using data directly from your car. A lot less money than a dragy, $10 vs. $150 - wish I'd known about it sooner.

Spend $12 and get yourself this.

And please be aware of your environment when you slam that accelerator.

...0-60 times on a P3D?...

...Sats app (‎Stats: For Tesla Model S/X/3). I haven't tried this one, just recently learned about it and it has great reviews. Apparently it can measure 0-60 using data directly from your car...

I don't think the Stats app will pull performance run data from the P3D. Tesla removed this functionality from all 3s before the 3 AWD was released, maybe removing from the late Spring manufactured (MCU2) S and X as well.

Would love to be wrong on this. We have sample data from over 200 previous runs, mostly from iOS PowerTools and Android Dashboard for Tesla.

The M3OC guys are pulling CANBus data directly from the 3, but they are still months away from deciphering the codes in the apps. Also you have to buy a CANBus dongle, take apart your rear console and (until someone sources the connectors) insert wires into the wiring harness. Probably doesn't meet your "simple" requirement, but accurate to a hundredth of a second.

Stats is not accurate with 0-60. The rest of the app is worth it though.

Dragy. You can look for threads on 0-60 times and screenshots from dragy on this forum.

+3 for dragy

Just search youtube, there are tons of video out there already with GPS testing.

Alright, I caved in...

I just bought this - Dragy Performance Meter

Hopefully that was the right one...

Nothing like a little Monday retail therapy

That's the one. It has a magnetic base, so will work great on your metal rear package shelf. I centered mine under the rear window, as far back is it would go.
