What happens in 5 seconds driving a 3SR vs a 3P+ starting at zero.

[MXWing]

3SR in 5 seconds:
I hit the speed limit.

3P in 5 seconds:
I am charged with a felony.
I go to jail.
I get a minimum of 2 points on my DMV record.
I have ridiculous insurance costs for years, if I could get insured at all.

--

While we all know the 0-60 times between the trims, I never thought about what would happen if I held the pedal down as long on the 3P as I do on the 3SR.

You forgot to add that you would be in jail with a neck pain from the instant whiplash and a ear to ear smile from the 3P!

That smile will likely get wiped away fast when inside that jail cell...lol

 

[SleeperService]

79 mph? You won't get any of those things if you are on a freeway onramp...

 

[ewoodrick]

Change it to 10 seconds and I’d suspect that 75% of the cars would be legal and Teslas in trouble

Just don't have too much of the Tesla grin in your booking photo. Judges look at it during proceedings.

naah, he said P3D, not P100D

Where do you live that 80 mph is a felony and a speeding ticket lands you in jail?

Worst case with 3P : your radar detector goes off, and you have to slow down to +10 over the speed limit !

Fastest limit inside the city is 55.

It would actually take a 3SR 5.3-5.6 seconds to hit 60 which is five over.

Going well over 80 in 5.3-5.6 seconds in areas with pedestrians in crosswalks would generate aggravating circumstances increasing the severity of any consequence.

We are not taking 10-15 over on a divided highway.

 

[Candleflame]

even the p3d is associated with acceleration/deacceleration headache...

 

[JBT66]

Plenty of places to flex the P3D muscle with out getting in trouble. Just don’t be an idiot around town.

You forgot that you can no longer read my license plate....

I accelerate 100% to 10 over and lift.
I have fun with my SR+ everyday.
But I would be having so much more fun if I had a AWD model 3.

If Tesla under-published 0-60 times like BMW, I would be having more fun also.

Whatever dude. Sounds to me like you didn't bother looking up what speed the Performance model hits in 5 seconds, which is not that fast. Nobody cares if you're only going 80, and where in a city with pedestrians is the speed limit 55? Nowhere. You made a circlejerk post, and a bad one at that.

So what do you want to bet if I take a photo of a road with a speed limit of 55 that has pedestrian crosswalks?

Try leaving your moms house and you will see a bigger world out there.

Possibly roads with a 55 limit and pedestrian crosswalks.
